Efficient, Friendly and Safe
Bay Fed is a great credit union that serves the county of Santa Cruz in California. It has no special requirements for membership, other than living in the area. It's a small outfit compared to the national banks, but has ATMs all over, so there's never an ATM fee, and it offers the same loans and accounts as the big banks.
Joining this credit union is a simple matter of opening a savings account with ten bucks. After that, a standard checking account is free with a balance over $1,000, or with electronic transfers, I believe. All accounts are insured, of course. Branches are small and friendly, the kind of places where tellers often remember your name. There's no need to go in the building though; online and telephone banking are cost-free and easy to use.
Bay Fed sends out a newsletter tucked in with the monthly statement. It keeps members in touch with local activities, charities, and good financial ideas. It's just one of the ways our credit union makes sure we feel like members, not just customers.
