I put money into the Credit Union, not for profit but because their beliefs correspond to mine. Their system puts almost all commercial banks to shame. Reviewed on: 9th July 2021

Best banking/ financial service

5
I have been with them for nearly 10 years now. It always amazes me the way customer service is getting better. When I became customer here, it was already providing great service. So one can imagine their level now. Interestingly, they are keen on getting better. During pandemic also they have shown excellent service. With time the union is also improving its financial products. The winner obviously is the ethical banking and local focused. I support this institution. I hope it will grow even bigger and continue to serve and help local communities and economy. Reviewed on: 8th July 2021
