Consumer Loan Underwriter
Job Type
Full-time
Description

Marshall Community Credit Union is looking for a Consumer Loan Underwriter to join our Loan Operations team. In this role, you’ll evaluate and decide on consumer loan applications, both direct and indirect, and serve as a go-to resource for our Member Experience Specialists and branch staff. Your decisions will help members get where they’re going while keeping our loan portfolio healthy.


This is a full-time, non-exempt, on-site position.


What you’ll do:

  • Underwrite direct consumer loans, including auto, personal, credit card, mobile home, RV, and UCC-secured loans. You’ll approve, deny, or refer requests within your authorized limits and in line with MCCU lending policy.
  • Underwrite indirect loan applications submitted by dealers, share decisions with dealer finance managers, and build working relationships that support our indirect lending program.
  • Analyze credit history, debt-to-income ratios, collateral values, and supporting documentation to judge creditworthiness and find lending opportunities that fit members’ financial needs.
  • Support Member Experience Specialists and branch staff with timely decisions and answers to underwriting questions, and help with loan packages and closings as needed.
  • Prepare and review loan documents for accuracy and completeness, including title verification, insurance confirmation, adverse action notices, and required disclosures.
  • Identify policy exceptions and refer them to the right authority, documenting your reasoning and following escalation procedures.
  • Keep accurate records in our loan origination system, and flag gaps in procedures so we can keep improving.
  • Watch for fraud, scams, and signs of elder financial abuse, and raise concerns through the proper channels.

You’ll do well here if you have sound credit judgment, a sharp eye for detail, and a service mindset toward the people you support. You know that a quick, clear answer to a branch can make a member’s day. When volume picks up, you can shift priorities without letting accuracy slip. You take ownership of a loan from application through funding, and you handle member financial information with discretion.


Current MCCU team members are encouraged to apply.

Requirements
  •  High school diploma or equivalent required; coursework or an associate’s degree in finance, business, or a related field preferred
  • Three to five years of consumer lending or underwriting experience at a financial institution, including direct and indirect loan products required
  • Working knowledge of credit analysis, collateral evaluation, and lending regulations, including Regulation Z and the Fair Credit Reporting Act
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and loan origination software, and the ability to learn MCCU systems
  • Clear, professional communication with staff, members, and dealer partners
  • Ability to sit for long periods, work at a computer, and occasionally lift up to 25 pounds
