A Truck That Opened New Doors

Altura Credit Union

A 37-year-old iron worker had dreams of getting an auto loan to help transport his machinery to jobsites. After shopping around at various financial institutions and dealerships, he and his wife were continually offered higher rates than their credit profiles justified. “They all wanted to take advantage of us,” he shared in a written testimonial. After contacting Altura, he was offered a rate and payment he could afford and received an additional APR discount by enrolling in Altura’s direct deposit auto payment feature. Since that time, he and his wife have financed every vehicle with Altura, citing the dedication and service of Altura’s representatives. He has also increased his credit score by 59 points from his first loan with Altura to his most recent.

After securing the truck he needed to transport his equipment, the member moved on to his next goal of starting his own business and taking on side jobs. As a result, Altura not only helped him save money through a better loan option but also empowered him to generate additional income through his business. “Altura helped me get the truck I needed to build my business,” he stated.
