How to read this list.
We do not ask for your name, your email, or your number. Nothing on this page changes based on who you are.
A door is headquartered here when its head office sits inside the county line. The rest are based elsewhere and keep a branch you can walk into. We list both, and we label which is which.
Every institution on this page comes from public federal data — the CDFI Fund certified list (Aug 2026), NCUA credit union data (Jun 2026), and the SBA microloan intermediary list (Sep 2026) — plus a short national tier we verified by hand. We refresh each list as its agency publishes. No listing is paid.
This guide is written for solo contractors, small business owners, and everyday residents of Hill County, Texas who are looking for personal financing — whether for a home repair, a vehicle, a small investment, or an unexpected expense. We focus on local lenders, community development financial institutions (CDFIs), and credit unions that actually serve Hill County, because those relationships tend to produce better terms and more flexible requirements than national chains. Federal programs like FHA or SBA microloans are mentioned as background context, not as your first call. We also walk you through common predatory traps so you can protect yourself and your family.

None of this is set by a lender. Texas sets it, and it applies the same in every county in the state — which is why it is worth knowing before you knock on any of the doors above.
- STATE INCOME TAXNone
What the state takes off what you earn, before anyone works out what payment you can carry.
- SALES TAX6.25% state · 1.95% avg local
What you pay on top of every purchase. On a small loan for a repair or a tool, this is a real part of the total.
- MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME$73K
Half the households in the state earn less than this. A lot of the programs above use that number to decide who qualifies.
- COST OF LIVING92.7
