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 solo contractors, small investors, and everyday residents of Monongalia County, West Virginia understand their personal financing options — from credit unions and CDFIs to ITIN-friendly lenders and state programs. We highlight local and regional intermediaries that actually serve this community, so you know exactly who to talk to. Federal programs are referenced for context, but the real opportunity is at the local level. Take your time, compare your options, and never feel pressured to sign anything quickly.

RIGHT HEREWest Virginia, and the rules that apply in Monongalia County.
5 DOORS ABOVE

Everything below is set by West Virginia, and it reads the same in every county in it. The 5 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. West 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 TAX2.36% – 5.12%

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

  • SALES TAX6.0% state · 0.55% 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$54K

    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 LIVING87.7

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