Our Money Management Officer, Kassandra, was great to work with. I do not think she could do better.

I was overall pleased with my experience. Jessica, our Money Management Officer, was easy going and very professional. She understood my circumstance, had compassion and a genuine, caring, pleasant persona for my situation.
This was the first time I had purchased a vehicle without going through a dealer for financing. When I went to the Credit Union I was seen immediately by the Loan Department. The Loan Officer was very knowledgeable. I was given a list of documents to gather and was promptly taken care of when I returned with them. My wife will be contacting your office about refinancing her student loans.
Arlene Fortin has always been an absolute pleasure to work with.
