In these unsettling times, many people wonder how the financial crisis will affect them. Honda Federal Credit Union wants you to know that it has no exposure to investments in Subprime mortgages or other types of risky financial derivatives. Our ‘investments’ have been in loans to you, our members.

Unlike other financial institutions, our focus remains on Honda Associates and members of their families. And, in Honda fashion, we manage our business in a conservative manner. As of calendar year-end 2007, the loss ratio on our loan portfolio was a very low 0.25% of assets and the ratio of delinquent loans to total loans was only 0.34%. The industry average for credit unions was 0.46% and 0.88% respectively. For complete Honda FCU financial information, click HERE.

Please be assured that, for the past 40 years, Honda Federal Credit Union has and continues to be a solid and reliable financial institution for Associates and family members. If you have any concerns or questions, please contact Jim Updike, President and CEO, at jupdike@hondafcu.org
