Why First Choice Federal Credit Unions?
With First Choice Federal Credit Union of New Castle Pennsylvania, you get more than a great loan. You get competitive (likely, some of the best you will see) rates in APR and interest rates, flexible programs, the availability of Skip-A-Pay when you need it, more liberal approval rates and more.
How does First Choice do this?
The first reason why First Choice can offer low rates and more programs is because we are not like a corporate financial institution. Instead of a focus on profit, we are focused on serving our members, and the community.
This is also the other reason why we can offer what we do in loans at such low APRs and varied types – the community. Not every problem is the same as the next. And, solutions are not always the same from one situation to the next. Because of this, we offer special programs like our Board Special loans, varying degrees of new and used car loans and more.
