What our Arlington Heights Members Say About Us

"I had a wonderful an seamless experience with Arlington Heights CAFCU." —Latara

"I was shopping around for a Credit Union to refinance my auto loan and I came across CAFCU. Since day one meeting with Angelika, I have felt very comfortable giving them my business. Everyone there is so kind and helpful. Angelika worked with me to get the lowest rates possible and has gone above and beyond in every aspect of her job. I highly suggest using CAFCU for any of your financial needs. They will take care of you." —Rick

"Fantastic credit union, It was a great customer service especially Angelika and Margaret to help me with my auto loan. The entire process was seamless and the communication was fantastic! Highly recommend CAFCU very good team!." —Carlos

"I first approached the the Kensington branch of CAFCU several years ago when my family had some complicated legal structures and some very specific banking needs. After speaking with at least ten other banks who simply couldn’t help us, I called the Kensington branch. Margaret answered the phone and I gave my well-practiced spiel. Not only did she understand my needs, but she knew exactly how to provide our banking needs. Margaret brought Angelika onto our family’s team of bankers. Since that first call my family has opened at least ten different accounts and Margaret and Angelika have never failed to find the best banking solutions to our often complicated needs. We are incredibly grateful for their knowledge, responsiveness and solutions and frankly don’t know what we would do without them. To us, they are the gold standard of bankers." —Katie
