Disappointing Experience All Around

Posted by: MFleetwood | Dec 13, 2023

I had high hopes for First Entertainment Credit Union when I joined through work, but unfortunately, a lot of promises were left unanswered. Limited access to convenient ATMs and branches was an immediate problem for me. Most of the few branches are on studio lots that are inaccessible to the general public. Big disappointment. I found a big bank to be so much more convenient and was relieved when I switched back.
