THE SMALL PRINT

How to read this list.

No agenda

We do not ask for your name, your email, or your number. Nothing on this page changes based on who you are.

Based here vs. serves here

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.

Where this comes from

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.

THE GUIDE

This guide helps residents of Washington County, Virginia — including solo contractors, small investors, and Spanish-speaking neighbors — understand personal financing options available right in their region. It highlights local credit unions, community development financial institutions (CDFIs), and ITIN-friendly lenders that truly serve this corner of Southwest Virginia. Federal programs like SBA loans are explained as helpful context, but the real focus is on the local intermediaries who know this community. It also covers what documents you need, what red flags to watch for, and how to take your next step with confidence.

CREDIT UNIONEastman Credit Union

Based in Kingsport, Tennessee. A credit union — owned by its members rather than by shareholders, which is exactly what changes the conversation after a bank has said no.

BEST FORA personal loan, or building a credit file from nothing, and buying, repairing or refinancing a home.
CREDIT UNIONUnited Southeast Credit Union

Based in Bristol, Tennessee. A member-owned credit union, which means the people deciding on your file answer to depositors in the same towns you work in.

BEST FORBuying, repairing or refinancing a home, and a personal loan, or building a credit file from nothing.
CDFICDFI-certified · SBA lenderPeople Incorporated Financial Services

Based in Abingdon, Virginia. A CDFI — a mission lender, not a branch network. It is measured on who it reaches, which is why a thin file is not the end of the conversation. It lends SBA microloan money.

BEST FORCommunity lending where a bank has already said no, and working capital, equipment and payroll for a small business.

3 DOORS ABOVE

Everything below is set by Virginia, and it reads the same in every county in it. The 3 marks above are this county's own doors — who opens one is decided by them, not by the state.

The rules where you are.

None of this is set by a lender. Virginia 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 TAX2.0% – 5.75%

    What the state takes off what you earn, before anyone works out what payment you can carry.

  • SALES TAX4.3% state · 1.47% 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$87K

    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 LIVING101.1

    National index, where 100 is the country's average. Under 100 means your money goes further here.
