As first-time homebuyers, Superior made it easy. We applied for or home loan online and heard back with our pre-approval within a couple of days! Alisha Reaman was super helpful and informative. She answered all of our questions and explained all the steps during our home buying process. We are extremely thankful for Alisha and the rest of the Superior staff, even more thankful for being chosen to receive the first-time homebuyers grant through Superior! We highly recommend Superior for first-time homebuyers!
Connor & Katie

We could not be happier with our experience with Superior! Working with Kelly was a dream. Not only was she informative, she added a true personal touch to the entire process. Would absolutely recommend working with Superior CU for your mortgage needs!
Cindy & Rick

A year ago, we refinanced our home with Superior Credit Union and Kelly Dattilo. She was so incredibly helpful that when we recently bought a new home in Tucson, AZ, we called her immediately to ask for her help again! Kelly is very knowledgeable and professional and we highly recommend her for any kind of mortgage assistance. She’s readily available and very patient when I have questions and makes sure that I understand the answers which I really appreciate. Again, we highly recommend her – she’s the best!!

Kelly Dattilo was absolutely amazing to work with. She went above and beyond trying to find what would work best for me. She was very open and honest, which as a first-time buyer made everything easier. You can tell she genuinely cares about those she is working with.
Lindsey C.

As a first-time homebuyer, I had the best experience with Kelly Dattilo at Superior. Her patience and kindness to explain all of the process and the different options made the entire experience seamless and exciting! The SuperiorFirst grant helped me so much throughout my process of homebuying and financing! I can’t thank Kelly enough for helping me secure my first home with the advantage of using the first-time homebuyers grant!

Without the SuperiorFirst grant funds and help of Superior Credit Union, homeownership would not have been possible. The process from pre-approval to closing was very easy.
Alyssa & Chris

With the recent reduction in interest rates, we inquired to see if we could qualify for a better mortgage rate with Superior. We applied online to inquire about refinancing and were contacted within a day by Alisha at Superior. She provided us with plenty of information, answered all our questions and was great to work with. We qualified for a better interest rate which ultimately led to a reduction on our minimum principal and interest payment. This gave us the ability to reduce the time to pay off our mortgage by making the same monthly payment as we were with our previous lender. Superior was easy to work with, willing to answer all our questions and, most important, helped us save money.
Shannon & Chaz

Chaz and I were ecstatic when we finally found the perfect land to build our home on after months of searching. Superior Credit Union made the process quick and easy for us from start to finish. We were able to do our application and sign our disclosures all by email which made it incredibly easy for us during the uncertainty of times like this; and we were appreciative of the communication and support we had during our loan process. We can't wait to team up with Superior for our construction loan!
Trevor & Kara

Buying a house can be stressful. Working with Superior in Ottawa, we were able to enjoy the whole process from start to finish. Now my fiancé and I can start our new life together with a little less stress and it’s all thanks to the mortgage team at Superior Credit Union.
Kandee & Jacob

We chose Superior Credit Union for our house mortgage because of the low rates compared to other local banks. They were very helpful with guiding us how to finance our first home. Thank you to Kathy at the Wapakoneta branch for helping us begin our homeowner's journey!

What members say about our accounts

Since visiting Superior Credit Union both Laurie and I have become members and moved money into investments through Superior. We have been VERY happy with the service provided by Tim Niebel and others that we have come in contact with. The customer service and value of being appreciated as a member by far surpasses any bank we have been in contact with or used. Prior to playing the Piggy Bank promotion, I had barely heard of Superior and after we talked to many of our friends who are members and got excellent reviews.
