I just wanted to give a shout out to Junior and his team. We just refinanced our home through CBC and Junior went above and beyond to help us with the loan and paperwork. We had tried refinancing with another company and it was a headache.

I am so happy that I chose CBC FCU to refinance my home loans. Junior and Kathleen in the origination department were joys to work with, and I received personalized service from the beginning to end, and the process was easy.
Fortunate to work with Sarai Warren and team! My first conversation with Sarai for a home refinance, with credit cad debt pay off and cash out was on 12/2! I explained to Sarai that I was in a tough financial bind and I needed to have things move quickly.
