I am very fond of credit unions. When I came to this country 10 years ago and needed a car loan few months later, A credit union was the only place that approved my loan application. I had no credit history then, DCU based in New Hampshire gave me a loan on the full amount of the car price.

I love my credit union. I great interest rates (even on checking accounts – when was the last time you read that??), good service and their online banking and bill pay is free and very easy to use.
