A loyal customer for 7 years.

Posted by: mandychandler | Aug 9, 2014

Being a loyal customer of First South Financial credit union for almost seven years, Id have to say that I have really enjoyed my experiences with them. They have convenient online banking that's easy for me to access my account and great customer service over the phone. Upon visiting one of their local branches I'm always greeted with very friendly service and every person there is always willing to assist me. Another reason I've enjoyed banking with First South Financial Credit Union is that they are always finding ways to improve their customers banking needs and since they have been so great to me I cant help but to recommend them to all my friends and family.

A Great Credit Union

Posted by: RickSY | Dec 7, 2016

I love this credit union! I have been using it for about 5 years. In that time, I have only once been charged a fee. That is when I let my checking account balance dip below $200. Checking accounts are free if you maintain a balance of $200, which is very nice. I also have a savings account there. It has several branches in my city and the suburbs and it has ATM machines for 24 hour access. It offers easy transfers between accounts. The only strange thing I found was the lack of deposit slips. If I want to make a deposit, I can either do so at the ATM or at the teller's window. I just give them the money or the check and tell them which account it should go in. I have had no issues with this credit union whatsoever. Setting up my account was easy and the tellers are very friendly. It has great reviews and has been in business for a long time.

Just had the most rude lady ever “assisting” me with my account. I was totally insulted. She should NOT be working customer service. Not to mention I feel that this credit union has robbed me of $144!
After reading their Facebook reviews, I see that this is a systemic issue and common practice.
I will be changing my direct deposit IMMEDIATELY! MIlitary... don’t waste your time or business with this establishment! I will definitely be informing all of my junior troops troops that are newly reporting to this area. Beware. Seek a different banking establishment.
