Excellent Experience
I have an auto loan through AAFCU and received a promo offer by email for a personal loan. The process was lightning fast, the terms excellent. It was trouble free. I had the funds in 15 minutes. I have never had such a great experience with a banking entity. Dallas was wonderful
Darold Kern At AAFCU Was Extremely Informed And Helpful
We have done several loans through Darold Kern at AAFCU and have always appreciated his professionalism and courtesy. He kept us informed in a timely manner and helped us in looking at several options until we found the best product for our unique situation. His understanding of the loan industry allowed us to get financing for our home when we had been told by other institutions that it wouldn't work. We will happily continue to do business with Darold Kern and AAFCU
Accounts with AAFCU going on 15 years
We have had our checking and savings account with Air Academy for over 15 years now. We have been very happy with the credit union. Our checking and savings account do not have any fees on them. We do have to use their ATM's or we do get charged and they do not refund ATM fees. This isn't a big deal most of the time as we live near a branch but is kind of a headache when traveling. I love Air Academy's online banking as it allows me to do 99% of my banking online. It is very easy to use, very easy to send checks to company's or individuals. I also use their mobile banking application which is great for depositing checks without leaving the house and having to the drive to the branch. Over the years, we have been very happy with Air Academy as we have paid very little, if any fees and any time we go into the branch the staff is very helpful and efficient. I would recommend AAFCU to anyone.
In My Opinion..
In my opinion after a recent auto loan and a refinance I wouldn't suggest AAFCU to anyone that I know. Several small billing issues, such as overcharges, built up and caused a lot of problems for me. When attempting to address the issues with a manager before it was out of hand, that manager chose not to investigate the matter(s). I feel that was against the information provided to me in my member's monthly statements. This among other problems is why I would not recommend this bank or it's services.
