Obtaining my Auto Loan with PFCU was very easy. I met with a representative and had the paperwork complete in minutes. I picked the day of the month I wanted my payment to be withdrawn and now I don't have to worry about it! If I want to make an extra payment, I just jump online and transfer money over. Very easy. Thank you PFCU!

Auto Loan - The staff at the LaPorte Branch were very understanding and went out of their way to expedite my Auto Loan. Thank you Carolyn Probasco and Melissa Odle! The loan proceeds were deposited quickly in my account and they set me up for automatic payment.

I called about refinancing my car loan to reduce the payment and was very disappointed with the help i was offered on the phone. The person I spoke to did her best to dissuade me from trying to do this, she convinced me that I did not want to refinance with PEFCU.

Excellent customer service and FAST! We decided on a vehicle on a Wednesday and the check was delivered on Saturday! Love that I was able to do all the paperwork by email since I now live in Florida. Stacie was a great help!

My Auto Loan with PEFCU was the easiest loan process I have ever been through. I applied online, and received a preapproval. Then, when I found the car I wanted, I simply took the bill of sale to Purdue West. I was on my way back to the dealership, check in hand, within thirty minutes! My rate and terms are amazing, and I couldn't be more pleased with the service I received.

It was easy to get a pre-approved Auto Loan, with excellent rate for purchasing my first car. When I actually made the purchase, it was even easier to process and this is the reason I was able to get a good car since the owner was a bit skeptical about getting paid immediately through a bank.

I cannot praise Purdue Fed enough for providing me the car loan I wanted. When all other banks failed to help me out, Purdue Fed saved the day. I did everything over the phone and the agent was really helpful and patient. I decided I am never going to close my accounts here even when I am done with Purdue.

LaPorte Purdue Federal Credit Union is the BEST! They are always friendly and help us whenever we need it. They are quick to respond to our needs and help us with all our loans. Especially Erin and Carolyn! They treat us like family, not just some customer. We appreciate everything they do for us!

When each and every car dealer in the town refused to approve credit for us to buy a new car, we went to Purdue Memorial Union Branch and met Megan there. Megan is an outstanding personality and she can assess your need as well as your profile very well. We will always be grateful to Megan and Purdue Federal Credit Union, because of them we now have a amazing new car!

Purdue Federal Credit LaPorte is the best, they are always friendly and helpful. They are always there to help with our loans, especially Carolyn! They treat us like family and have done for over 25 years. They are more than competetive when it comes to rates.

Received a flyer in the mail about refinancing my 2015 SUV bought new at a lower APR than offered at dealership 3 months after purchase. Within two weeks and only a hand full of e mails and 2 phone calls, I was able to complete the process. I currently work 100 miles plus from the closest PFCU branch!!! Great job team, thank you for the help. So glad I became a member 15 years ago!!

I am a Purdue student from Asia with a student visa. Both my major bank and car dearler turned me down on auto loan applications, but Donna Alexander from Purdue Federal Credit Union helped me understand the process, listened to my situation, set up the best plan for me, and knocked down a 25K loan in 12 hours. It is my first loan and I am impressed with the friendly service. Thank you, Donna, and thank you, Purdue Federal Credit Union.

The LaPorte Branch of PFCU was awesome to work with on my car loan. JM in particular was so professional and helpful. I especially like having a branch at the Westville campus. I always do my car loans through PFCU. Thanks again!

I forgot my password and trying to retrieve it has been one of my worst nightmares. I can appreciate the security but this is ridiculous. I have forgotten my password with one of the largest banks in the country before and it has not been as frustrating as it has been with Purdue Federal Credit Union.

I've taken out two auto loans with ! PEFCU and I've had a great experience both times. With my most recent loan, Nicole made the refinancing process easy and understandable. Customer service is unmatched!

This place needs to get out of business banking. They make business exponentially more difficult. You cannot deposit cash or checks into a business account via the ATM They want to see my ID to deposit cash into my account inside the bank No Zelle Mobile deposit software is poor Stick to houses and cars! Get out of biz banking

Unlike other financial institutions, credit unions are not-for-profit, membership-based organizations. The good news is that joining is easy. If you're connected to Purdue University, La Porte County, Indiana, or one of our Select Employee Groups, you're likely eligible.
