Is there a fee to use this?
Browsing this directory is free. Any loan fees are set by OneAZ CU and the SBA program — ask the lender for its current schedule.
Who is this open to — anyone, or only residents/members?
This institution primarily serves small business owners and entrepreneurs in the Phoenix area, but they also support clients nationwide through their SBA loan programs. Membership or residency is not strictly required, but eligibility depends on business qualification criteria.
What minimum personal credit score does this lender look for in a guarantor?
Many SBA lenders look for a personal score around 640 or higher, but each bank sets its own bar and it changes. Ask OneAZ CU what it looks for today.
How long does the traditional underwriting process take from start to close?
The underwriting process typically takes between 30 to 60 days, depending on the completeness of application materials and the complexity of the loan request.
Is this open on weekends?
Most bank SBA teams work weekdays; confirm with OneAZ CU before planning a weekend visit.
How do I get there and where do I park?
OneAZ CU is located in Arizona — see the contact card for the full address. Most credit union locations offer free on-site or nearby street parking for visitors.

Who owns or operates this listing?
This page is an independent directory listing for OneAZ CU, an SBA-participating credit union. It is maintained by SBA Lenders USA to help borrowers compare lenders — not by OneAZ CU itself, which runs its own lending under its own ownership. If you work at OneAZ CU, you can claim this listing from this page to manage it.
How current is the information on this page?
The core details for OneAZ CU — name, location, contact, and lender type — are compiled from public records and reviewed periodically. Rates, programs, credit policies, and hours change often and are not guaranteed here, so always confirm the latest terms directly with OneAZ CU before applying. If you represent OneAZ CU, claim this listing to keep its information up to date.

You can reach OneAZ CU by phone at (602) 452-4810 or online at www.oneazcu.com/about/locations/phoenix-monroe-st — the same details are in the contact card on this page.
What core industries does this lender traditionally choose to finance?
Like most SBA lenders, OneAZ CU can finance a broad range of small businesses — common categories include professional services, healthcare practices, restaurants and franchises, retail, light manufacturing, and commercial real estate. Each credit union sets its own industry preferences and may avoid sectors it considers higher risk. Ask OneAZ CU directly which industries it actively lends to before you apply.
Can I apply for an SBA Express line of credit at this lender?
SBA Express offers lines of credit and term loans up to $500,000 with a faster turnaround than standard 7(a) loans. Whether OneAZ CU participates in SBA Express depends on its specific SBA lending authority. Contact OneAZ CU and ask if it offers SBA Express and what the current limits and terms look like for your situation.
Does this lender have Preferred Lender Provider status with the government?
Whether OneAZ CU has SBA Preferred Lender (PLP) status is set by the SBA. Ask the bank directly; PLP lenders can approve in-house and often move faster.
Are start-up companies eligible for financing at this lender?
The SBA does fund start-ups, but many traditional lenders prefer at least two years of operating history and may ask newer ventures for a larger equity injection or stronger collateral. OneAZ CU's appetite for start-ups is set by its own credit policy. If you are early-stage or pre-revenue, ask OneAZ CU directly whether it considers start-up loans.
What are the typical down payment expectations for commercial real estate acquisitions?
For SBA 7(a) and 504 commercial real estate loans, borrowers typically contribute around 10% to 20% as a down payment or equity injection, depending on the property and the deal. Exact requirements vary with your credit, the business, and the lender's policy. Ask OneAZ CU what down payment it expects for your specific commercial real estate purchase.
Does this lender impose prepayment penalties on short-term working capital facilities?
SBA 7(a) loans with terms under 15 years generally carry no prepayment penalty, while longer real estate loans can have one in the early years. Short-term working capital lines often have no penalty, but terms vary by lender. Review your loan agreement and ask OneAZ CU to spell out any prepayment penalties before you sign.
Can I use loan proceeds from this lender to buy out an existing equity partner?
SBA loans can be used for a partner or owner buyout, including buying out an existing equity partner, when the deal is structured to meet SBA rules — for example, the remaining owner generally must stay actively involved. Approval depends on the specifics, so discuss your buyout plan with OneAZ CU to confirm it qualifies and how to document it.
Will historical personal bankruptcies automatically disqualify my loan application here?
A past personal bankruptcy does not automatically disqualify you from an SBA loan. Lenders look at how long ago it was discharged, the circumstances, and how your credit has recovered since. OneAZ CU weighs this case by case under its own policy, so be upfront about your history and ask OneAZ CU how it evaluates prior bankruptcies.
