Our members say the nicest things.

LFCU has been a lifesaver. I originally had a mortgage on my home with Merrill Lynch (ML). Although ML gave me a mortgage, they not only reserved the right to foreclose on the loan if I defaulted, but they also took an additional security interest on my actual ML account! This means that ML could have foreclosed and/or liquidated my brokerage account with them. After a few years, I had enough and moved over to LFCU. The transition was painless, worry-free and there was no double-dealing! I’ve been a loyal member since 1988, and plan to be one forever. The LFCU folks are always friendly, helpful and courteous. Thanks a million!
