From start to finish the whole process of getting an auto loan with Hanscom CU was great. Carol B. was so responsive and helpful and made everything easy to understand. I'm really enjoying my new Jeep!

Better than a lease
By Tanya
from Maryland
Comments about HFCU Better Than a Lease Loan Reviews:
Carol was exceeding helpful and patient with us as we were deciding if this program was right for us. She stayed in constant communication which was important to us since we are out of state and needed to make many back and forth calls/e-mails to finalize numbers and paperwork. We feel great about how the loan officer, Carol, helped us. We've never done a lease before but feel comfortable with the terms as we understand them. When the end of the lease comes and how the turn in of the car/fees are done will depend on whether this was the best product for us but I'm hopeful! We like that the product was offered. We would have never tried a lease otherwise. We felt comfortable getting into it with the bank we've trusted for over 20 years.
