When truck driver Jonathan Ortiz of Ponca City, Oklahoma, learned he was the winner of the TFCU Great Auto Loan Payoff, he knew that he wanted to keep it a surprise.
“I didn’t tell my wife all week,” he said, laughing. “It was really hard to keep it from her, but I wanted to make sure it was real before I said anything!”
The surprise was worth it. When Jonathan’s wife learned first-hand during the winner’s celebration at the TFCU Stillwater branch in January, it brought instant relief and excitement for their family.
Jonathan financed his 2023 BMW X3 at the dealership a year and a half ago with Tinker Federal Credit Union.
“It was really easy,” Jonathan said. “When you get a loan with TFCU, it’s like you’re part of the family.”
“It’s wonderful to win something that helps so much financially,” Jonathan said, adding in Spanish, “¡Es maravilloso, es grandioso!”
