Breakdown of Bethpage Federal Credit Union overall score
- Affordability: Bethpage Federal Credit Union’s competitive rates make it a more affordable option compared to other lenders.

Affordability: 5/5
Bethpage Federal Credit Union lists current rates for all of its mortgage programs on its website and updates them daily. The rates tend to be lower than Bankrate’s national average. You can lock your rate for free for 60 days. If you need to extend the lock beyond that, you’ll be subject to a fee equal to 0.125 percent of the loan amount for each week of the extension, up to four weeks. The credit union also offers a float-down option that costs 0.375 percent of your loan principal for each 0.125 percent cut to your rate.
Bethpage Federal Credit Union doesn’t disclose its other loan fees online, however; you’ll need to talk to a loan officer to learn what might apply to your mortgage.
