CU First Responders Finance (CUFR) is excited to welcome Albany Firemen’s Federal Credit Union (AFFCU) to their Referral Credit Union program. AFFCU is looking forward to offering business loan services to their membership.

CUFR’s business lending program

CUFR’s business lending program provides the avenue for first responder credit unions to refer commercial real estate, apparatus, equipment, and other business loans for potential funding.

The referring credit union gets business loans on their books and the lead lender earns points and a portion of quality loans. Additionally, there is an opportunity to sell a portion of the loan back to the referring credit union.

Albany Firemen's FCU looks forward to offering business lending through CUFR. This is a service we would not be able to provide by ourselves.

Albany Firemen’s Federal Credit Union was the 609th federal credit union, founded in 1935. AFFCU offers banking services to the Albany Fire Department and Police Officers, the Rensselaer Fire Department, the Albany Airport Fire Department, Albany Long Shoreman/Port of Albany, BASF, Albany City and County Employees, the City of Troy Employees, Troy Housing Authority, RPI, the Sage Colleges, Troy Public Library, University Heights Association, Ferguson Waterworks, Central Business Improvement District.
