Alternatives Federal Credit Union Certified as Fair and Safe Lender

Alternatives Federal Credit Union, an Ithaca, New York-based lender, is the latest organization to be certified by Fair Loan Certification, Inc. Founded in 1979, Alternatives FCU has grown into a financial institution that provides its members with a wide range of services and has more than $23 million in mortgage loans on its books.

"We are very pleased to certify Alternatives FCU," said FLC Deputy Director Robin LeBaron. "Alternatives is a fair and safe lender that provided fairly priced mortgage loans to its members throughout the 2000s, when many other lenders were selling their customers toxic, exorbitantly priced products. Residents of Central New York should know that they can turn to Alternatives FCU to get a mortgage loan that they can trust."
