Great Credit Union, Wonderful Personal Service
Velocity has been around Austin for more than 60 years. Love the friendly and knowledgable employees. You are treated like a VIP here, not a "number."
Not Competative These Days
I have been with Velocity Credit Union for more than 30 years. The employees are great with wonderful customer service. I wonder why Velocity is paying such low CD, share, money market rates to their members. They use to be very competitive. I liked the fact I could do all my business with them, but that has changed and I am looking for new opportunities.
