Certificates Presented At Local Banks
Washington banks report many World War II veterans applying for loans using bonus certificates as security. Banks say they cannot handle the surge yet as loan applications and processing are hampered by red tape. Veterans may borrow eight percent of face value now, with higher access next year, and loans run six to nine months with redemption rules extending six more months. Bankers advise holding certificates as their value tends to rise with continued service, noting certificates range from about five hundred dollars and up.
