A Great Non-Profit Financial Institution!

Posted by: |

I have enjoyed my membership in America First CU! I have always been treated with curtesy and addressed as a member, not just an account number. If I have questions about CDs and Retirement instruments I can speak with the department that handles the different products offered. AFCU does offer competitive CD rates; I say this because I do the research nationally. No, their interest rates on checking and savings are non competitive with online savings institutions, that is because online account, such as Discover Bank, do not have the expense of brick and mortar Remember too that banks are for-profit entities, whereas, CUs are membership owned and can offer good rates to their members. Yes, it would be great to have the highest rates for all financial products in one financial institution, but competition is the way of healthy economic growth.

I love credit unions

Posted by: |

I've been with America First Credit Union for many years and have had nothing but positive experiences with them. I like the ease of use of their online bill pay. I lived out of the country for 3 years while with them, and never had any issues with my debit card or bills being paid on time. They have branch locations at convenient places, including grocery stores and Walmart. They are open longer hours than traditional banks. They have convenient ATM locations as well. There are no fees that I need to worry about and free checking. My one complaint is that they don't offer a higher interest rate on checking accounts with high balances. I keep over $20K in my checking, and it would be nice to earn some interest on that.

Run Like A National Bank, Not A Credit Union

Posted by: |

America First Credit Union is massive and growing, and certainly does not treat customers like a field of membership for a credit union. It offers its members 0.05% checking rates and 0.10% savings rates, which certainly make it profit driven, and competes with JP Morgan, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo deposit rates without paying any taxes on its profits. The savings rates have not moved, despite numerous Federal Reserve interest rate increases. I have moved my money from AFCU and am more interested in credit unions that view their role as part of a community and field of membership, rather than just seeing themselves as a competitor to Zions.

My experience with America First Credit Union

Posted by: |

My wife and I have used America First Credit Union for the past several years. We first approached them for a car loan in 2012 on 2011 Chevrolet impala. The response we received was impressive. The car-loan specialist was friendly and professional. We received approval for the loan within a couple of days. The interest rate was favorable and were ultimately very pleased with the experience.
Since that time, we have used America First for check cashing, and savings deposits. About a year ago, we bought another car, a 2014 Dodge Caravan. As we were impressed with the service we received on or previous car loan, we approached them about this new purchase. Again, we received the same excellent service, with a favorable repayment schedule and interest rate.
They are an excellent banking service and we recommend them highly.
