I started with Purdue Federal on my first day on campus in 1999. They helped me buy my first condo in Chicago and more recently my first house in Georgia. The process has always been painless and the customer service has been exceptional! They have your back!

PFCU has helped make my dream of building a "forever home" a reality. I couldn't be happier with the loan product and interest rate PFCU was able to offer, but, most importantly, I had a fantastic experience during the mortgage process. Everyone I worked with, from the membership team to the lending team, was knowledgeable, professional, and responsive and worked hard to keep my deal on track. I can't recommend PFCU enough!

I tried to refinance my mortgage a few years ago with this PEFCU, I was honest and upfront about my income and issues, I was misled to believe there would not be any problem refinancing my mortgage, I came out of pocket for an appraisal and then was denied, it was a huge waste of time and effort. This year when I refinanced to get an even lower rate, I did not even look at or consider Purdue Federal based on my previous experience, I would not recommend them.

As a long-time member of Purdue Federal Credit Union, there was never any question about where I was going to go for my first mortgage. I am happy to say that there is still no doubt that I made the right decision! Emily worked with me to make sure I was getting the best rate and monthly payment possible. My experience at Purdue Federal has made the process of buying my first home a lot less daunting.

What a pleasure to have Justin James Dunn as our Mortgage Loan Officer. Justin was always working for us and had our best interest at heart. We felt that we could contact him anytime with questions and he would always reply. He locked us in at a great interest rate and even refinanced our car with PEFCU to obtain a lower rate. He truly cares about his PEFCU members that he assists in obtaining financing! What a wonderful young man!

Emily made the whole process of first time home buying, out of state, a stress free experience. She always answered all my questions about the process, no matter how big or small, and was straightforward in her responses. She was patient and took the time to explain the process to me so I would know what to expect. I highly recommend PEFCU and Emily!

It was SO easy to work with PEFCU on refinancing my mortgage! They offer good rates, but what I like best is knowing they are working in my best interest. It was easy to get an appointment, I had face-to-face meetings with one person, and he took the time to answer all my questions and make sure I understood everything.

The mortgage process went very smoothly. We moved to North Carolina and still preferred working with our hometown bank. We got a great rate and it was great working with Joy. She is extremely responsive and has years of experience. This made it very easy on us when we had questions or needed to make small changes. In summary, it was a great experience working with such a responsive bank/credit union.

I recently purchased my first home and thanks to [Purdue Federal Credit Union], Meg and Joy, the process could not have been any smoother. They were really great to work with.

I'm looking to buy a house next year and have been trying to speak to a Mortgage Specialist at Purdue Federal over the last 2-3 months. I've dropped an email via the bank's website, and called 3 times - left a voicemail once with a call back number. Yet no one from the bank has reached out. Now, I'm considering taking my business elsewhere, which is unfortunate as Purdue Federal has been so good to me in the past.

I'm a recent member; we opted to finance our new home purchase with PFCU as my husband has been banking with them for years. We purchased out-of- state and everything was completed fully online. Joy (Mortgage Specialist) and Krystina (Mortgage Processor) went above and beyond in their attention to detail and responsiveness. This was inordinately helpful as anxious first-time homebuyers, and I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you, Joy, Krystina, and PFCU!

My husband and I were very disappointed in the whole process of this remortgage. Trying to deal with someone online and doing all the paperwork online ourselves was a hassle and very discouraging. We may be old school but we would never do it again nor would we recommend anyone else to do so. What ever happened to customer service? The biggest most distressful thing was at closing. Waiting one week to get our check for the difference in the loan and borrowed crazy. Weren’t going to change mind.

My husband and I chose to get a home loan through PFCU because of their sterling reputation and philanthropic involvement in the community. Janelle Brinn was my mortgage loan specialist and she was prompt, helpful, accurate and courteous. We will happily work with PFCU again in the future.

The mortgage team, specifically Rob Rosebloom and Benjamin Prather, made the home buying process a breeze! We started the process with a phone call to Rob on November 16th and closed on our purchase as planned on December 10th. Both Rob and Benjamin made this process easy and stress free - Thank you!

My 4th major loan with PFCU. It was the most challenging! Communication must be improved with your team. You do this everyday, we borrowers do not. Please use the "secure" site - I made repeated requests, yet documentation and inquiries came via my personal (unsecured) email. The secured site requires separate login details from my member site & that adds confusion. Please improve the technology! Happy the process if over and the loan is closed. Try them if you have the patience.

Emily did such a great job with handling our mortgage in this crazy market. Our house closed just after the holidays and I know that she had to put in extra time over the holidays to finalize our deal. I'm so grateful to her and the rest of her team. She is very easy to work with and is very quick to respond when I have any questions. I highly recommend PEFCU over other banks as you will get a much more personal experience along with a great rate. Thank you again for such a smooth transaction!

She juggled not only my personal banking switch , personal mortgage and several rental properties all while allowing me to bug her with many questions. I would definitely recommend them.

Thank you very much to PFCU (and Rob and Todd especially) for all your work and assistance guiding me through setting up the mortgage and purchasing the house. I'm very impressed with your responsiveness and diligence all along the way. I felt well informed at each stage of pre-qualification, application, mortgage review, and closing on the property. I will happily recommend your team to others in the future, and I wanted to make sure you know how much I appreciate the great job you did. Kudos!

I recently moved twice within 5 months and PEFCU assisted with my mortgage both times and they were so professional and answered every question promptly and everything was done online. Janelle was so friendly and helped every step of the way and told us what to expect at each step.

Our experience was not great. The only time communication with our lender occurred was when we reached out to him. And when we did ask questions, it was difficult to get a direct answer and required several iterations of the question to receive an answer. Had we not reached out, I'm certain we would not have heard from him at all in the final two weeks and he would have let the processors handle everything. If he'd given any direction at all on the process, we likely wouldn't be so disappointed.

Emily has assisted me with two mortgage loan transactions over the last few years. It could not have been more seamless and efficient. Super easy process and she proactively kept me up to date on the interest rates and my options. Selling, packing up your life, moving and unpacking it all again is stressful enough. Go with Emily and this will be one part of the tedious process that seems effortless. Thanks Emily!

Rob helped us acquire our first home and the process was very easy with the software uploads and quick response times from their team. They were able to bump up our closing date by a few days so we could use the long Labor Day weekend to move in. They make payments easy and I love that I can see our mortgage loan when I log into my bank app!

I had the opportunity of buying my first house this last month, referred to by a friend I reached out to Rob Roseboom and PFCU. They were so helpful in walking me through the process and helping it be a smooth and enjoyable experience. They were very helpful and always there to answer questions. They were quick to get back to me when I had questions and I plan on eventually transferring all of my banking to them due to their fantastic service! 10/10 would go through them again :)

We have had many occasions to need the assistance of the PFCU employees. In every circumstance we had been very pleased with the professionalism of the people we deal with. Our latest transaction was a loan and we had the pleasure of having Clarissa Cob handle all the details of this transaction. She was so friendly and knowledgeable and made the process so much easier. We have gone to other banking places, but we have stuck with PFCU because of the people who work there.

Kristine and the whole team were nothing but fantastic the whole way through. They were very patient with me as I was navigating some personal issues in my life at the time and never gave up on me despite some hurdles. Plus they were able to lock me in at a rock bottom interest rate which I really appreciated. 10/10 would recommend.
