Public Service Credit Union - Would recommend!
Almost a decade ago, I decided to leave my former major bank (Wells Fargo) for a local credit union and I chose Public Service Credit Union. My only regret is that I didn't do so sooner. PSCU is the best bank I've ever worked with. I have both a checking and a savings account there. Anytime I go into a branch I am greeted by friendly and professional staff who make banking a pleasure. They have an automated phone system, but during business hours it's easy to reach a real human. I do the majority of my banking online, and it is a solid website. The only downside to that is the website will pop up a second site and redirect when you want to do online bill pay. The fees are fairly reasonable - as long as you make three transfers or payments through them you can avoid a monthly bill pay fee, and keeping a minimal amount of money in the account is fine (I generally keep $50-$100 in my checking account after I pay monthly bills). I also have overdraft protection of $300 free, so I never have to worry about overdraft fees. The ATM fee is steep: $2.50 on top of the machine fee, but they are part of a credit union network, so it's easy to find a free nearby ATM and avoid that fee. Overall, I'm pleased with PSCU and would highly recommend them.
Do Not Get A Auto Loan Through Them!
Do not use the for auto loans. I have never been late with a payment in over 2 years. I get covid and was 15 days late making a payment. 2 months later I get a letter in the mail saying they reported late payment over 33 days. Well it was a late charge that was from late payment they never sent me anything about nor put it on my account. I have made 4 payments since the late payment and it never showed a late charge. Which I would have paid because I was late but I did not MISS a payment. They said I should have known what it was. I have never been late so NO I do not know how much your late payment is to which the person I spoke with said it depended on the state I was in. That makes no sense. Also told me it would not be taken off my credit report even after I pay it!!! I will be changing loan companies!!
Maybe A Good Deal, Hurdles.
1.Consumers United Association

2. Hard Pull for Applicants. What's with all these credit unions dinging credit scores when some applicants just want a good place to park savings?
Awful Company When It Comes To Understanding COVID Situation
This is the worst company I have worked with on auto loans. They have not taken into consideration people struggling through covid and helping out their customers.
