“We are extremely proud of our 75 year history,” said NEFCU President/CEO Edward P. Paternostro.

The deals include a home equity line with an introductory rate as low as 0.75% APR for six months and personal loans available between $500 and $20,000 of six to 60 months with rates as low as 6.75% APR.
