If I could give 10 stars I would. Thanks to Johan I was able to get into the car that I wanted! He was more than helpful throughout the whole process and it could not have been easier. He was always a phone call or email away and answered any question that I had.

I found working with Ms Alka Patel at the Kensington location in Sugar Land very customer oriented and caring. Ms Patel was professional yet personable. She was attentive in listening to my banking needs, knowledgeable in what to do, and was immediately responsive. Most impressively, Ms Patel followed up with me by phone to inform me of the status of my requests. This is the kind of service that gives a customer trust and satisfaction.

This five stars is for Anthony Lopez at HFCU loan department. There was an error but Anthony went above and beyond to correct the issue to ensure our loan was approved and processed correctly. We truly appreciate the great service Anthony provided and HFCU as a whole.

The level of ineptitude and unprofessionalism is uncanny. I'm not a member here nor will I ever be. But in my attempt to purchase a vehicle owned by a member this institution and its bewildered and rude and utterly unaware employees namely Thomas j and Lakesha W. Certainly didn't have the members best interests at heart. Bank with an institution that respects you and deserves your business. This isn't it.

I have been a customer of HFCU since 2011. I have had nothing but good experiences with them. When I needed to finance a car I received a loan in a matter of days. I tried to get a consolidation loan through my primary bank where I was a customer for decades and without even asking a single question, was told "we don't make personal loans". Really? Anyway, I have financed two vehicles thru HFCU and they are now my only banking institution. I have recommended them to my family as well. Great service!
