I must admit how privileged I felt when my family and I were chosen to be featured on the website of the Lafayette Schools' Federal Credit Union. The credit union holds a very special place in my heart. I became a member when I was a student at Acadiana High School. My mother was a member and she knew how much of a privilege it was to be a part of a growing credit union. Each time I'd visit the credit union with her, I was aware of the hospitality of all the employees and the warmth that they extended to each customer.

As I grew older, I started on my next chapter of college and searching out new avenues and opportunities. I once again turned to the credit union to begin building my credit. They stretched out their arms and took a risk on me by giving me my first loan. I was on my way to achieving my dreams step by step and the credit union was there to guide me along.

Now that I have a family of my own, I turn to the credit union whenever I have any financial needs. They have become my friends and I still feel very comfortable going in and dealing with them. I plan on opening accounts for my children, thus continuing a tradition started with my mother so many years ago. I know that they will also enjoy the advantages of being part of a financial family that really cares.

We have only been customers of Lafayette Schools Credit Union for a little over a year now and are very pleased with the auto and home equity loan rates as well as the customer service we have received from both the Crowley and the Lafayette branches. I find now it is difficult to find financial institutions wanting to loan money for a reasonable rate. But Lafayette Schools Credit Union has stepped up to the plate for us on several ocassions. We are very satisfied customers.
