Welcome Bankrate.com Visitor!!
HEW Federal Credit Union is ready to serve you!

We are glad that you have chosen to visit HEW Federal Credit Union (HEWFCU). We offer great rates and terms, rapid application review, and convenient locations where you can apply for and pick up a loan. Imagine the friendly atmosphere of a credit union combined with the stability of a member-owned financial institution established in 1936. That is exactly what you will experience with HEW Federal Credit Union.

Loans are available to credit union members only, but joining HEWFCU is simple, plus it avails you of a vast array of financial services. You can join HEWFCU if you live, work, worship, or attend school in the city of Washington D.C. (click here for further eligibility guidelines). It only takes a few minutes and an opening deposit of $5.00 or more to become a member.

If you want to compare our rates on automobile loans, we are sure that you will find we are ultra-competitive and a real money-saver, as much as 5-6% below local banks. Unlike dealerships, we do not have come-on rates, or teaser rates, only available to a select few. Our super low rates are available to all members, as long as they qualify for the loan (see rates and terms below). If you live or work in Washington, D.C. - you will be glad you found HEWFCU!

In addition to the benefits of spectacular rates and terms, here are other reasons why you should consider obtaining your auto financing from HEWFCU:

  • No Application Fee
  • No Prepayment Penalty
  • Interest accrues over the life of the loan, instead of it being added at the time of loan closing, like with many finance companies and banks.
  • 100% financing on new autos (tags, tax, title, GAP** coverage), thus no down payment is required.
  • Pay your loan via mail, payroll deduction, or online from your HEWFCU account.
  • Affordable disability and life insurances and GAP** coverage.
