Once I connected with the loan department of the DOIFCU, the process was swift and seamless. All of my questions and concerns were addressed promptly. It was a pleasure to work with Aaron, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for professionalism in lending.

IFCU has been very easy to work with and as a newer member I have been approved with much better interest rates and higher credit limits than the other credit union that I have been with for over 6 years. Unfortunately, some credit unions get too big and start operating like banks, which is why I decided to look for a new credit union that still put their members first.
