Barry
"I am currently 76 years old - soon to be 77! I first joined CWCU when it was the Federal Metals Credit Union located on the Albany Bureau of Mines campus off of Liberty and Queen in Albany when I was 20 and looking for a car loan. It was apparent immediately that the staff was there to assist people in their banking needs. At the time I borrowed about $3,000 and paid it off in three years - if I remember correctly - at $102/month. It was the best investment I ever made and we are still with CWCU to this day using branches in Bend, Salem and Albany on our visits!"

Jonathan
"I was 18 and looking to make my first vehicle purchase and the staff at Central Willamette were beyond helpful. I was having a hard time finding someone to fund my vehicle purchase being such a young age and minimal credit. The staff at Central Willamette made my first purchase possible by helping me through every step. It was simple and easy. My recommendation would be for anyone and everyone to allow their staff to help you with any financial needs you might have! They are wonderful!"

Hope
I have always dreamed of owning my own home but when I moved to Oregon with nothing but what I could fit in my car I didn't know if that dream would be possible. Through some hard work and help from Central Willamette CU I was able to gain financial stability, ask the right questions, and apply for a home loan. The staff were and continue to be exceptional and I am eternally grateful. Now 4 years later I have a house that I get to turn into a home!
