ESL Is A Great Credit Union

ESL is a great credit union that is constantly adapting to keep up with the latest banking technologies.

Disappointed

Posted by: |

I filled a report due to being scammed. I had tons of proof verifying the company along with emails. ESL denied my claim. I was ripped off 250 dollars...I've been a customer for years and have never filed a single claim. I disagree when reviews claim they're for the people. I recommend finding a bank that will fight for your security and stand by their guarantee to protect your account up to a certain amount.
