The Worst Ever
1 stars - dounome987 - Monday, August 22, 2011 - 12:58 AM

I've been a SAFE credit union member since 1986. In that time they have repeatedly inspired me to take my serious banking business elsewhere - and by repeatedly inspired I mean horrific failures that cost me huge money and inconvenience and all I got was lame excuses and useless apologies. I use them for a few things that are handy; cheap wire transfers, free coin counter, backup ATM card. I won't trust them with more than the cost of a tank of gas  ever again.
