Our members say the nicest things.
I’ve been a happy customer of Lafayette Federal Credit Union for 12 years. I had been banking at [Big Bank] for years, but during the 2008 financial crisis I realized the enormity of their corruption and disregard for their customers. I decided to take my banking business somewhere that I could trust. I was grateful to find LFCU and appreciate the fact that they are a local financial institution that invests in our community. My banking experience with LFCU has been very positive from customer service to my automobile loan to online banking. Because of this I’ve recommended LFCU to several friends and my brother who are now customers!
