Educational employee credit union
EECU is a great place to bank with. Friendly cashiers, free checking, and great rates on loans. What I really like about EECU is that no matter what branch you go to there is always a small bank setting that makes you feel right at home.
Educational Employees Credit Union
Despite the exclusive sounding name, this community bank is very easy to join. You don't have to actually be an educational employee, if you have a friend or relative who is, or even a friend of a friend, that will usually be enough to qualify you for membership. There are 3 branch offices in and around the Fresno area and more importantly plenty of EECU atm machines. You may worry with a smaller bank that you will be spending extra on fees by being forced to use other atm machines, but that is not the case here. I find the locations good and I am always able to easily find an EECU atm machine when out around town. The service is what you may expect from a small town bank, they are always very polite and have always been very helpful in assisting me. Their online banking feature is useful the website is easy to navigate. I've used loan services with this bank and it was a good experience, they were willing to work with me and get me a great rate on my auto loan. I've also met with their staff financial advisor for help in starting an investment portfolio , a great experience overall. I can highly recommend this bank, they are offer competitive rates and online banking, but if you prefer the 'human' factor over an online transaction you won't be disappointed. There are good, friendly people working there, they really will make you feel welcomed and like this is a place you can stay for the long-term.
EECU NO MORE
All I can say is this is the first of many platforms that I will tell you guys why not to bank at EECU anymore. I have a 780 score with 0 delinquent account on my credit. I have never had a bankruptcy or had a loan problem until now. I've been banking with EECU since I was a student and have done multiple car loans with them that have been paid off. Their mortgage department loan officers Trudy Brandon and Trisha are not all on the same page. Diane Morales, the supervisor, didn't want to take my calls after she knew Trudy messed up and had me pay off all my bills. And after all that, they still told me I didn't qualify due to the debt to income ratio. Mind you, I paid off $60,000 off my credit report. Trudy kept saying they follow Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae guidelines which have had government bailouts. The moral of the story is they are not an equal housing lender and after all they have put me through Trudy was still asking me to come up with $23,000 down. What a joke of a bank. If I didn't have a loan with EECU right now I would close all my accounts with them and never do business again. Do yourself a favor and do business with a bank that appreciates you and does make you feel like you have rat credit or you can't pay your bills.
