Favorite Credit Union!

Posted by: |

I’ve been banking with GFA for nearly 10 years. I’ve honestly never had a problem. The people there are great. Even through Covid and lobbies closing, they have done their best to make things run normally. They offer everything I need including car insurance. Great local place for banking.

Rates And Service

Posted by: |

Great rates, both deposits and loans, including a 3.51% rewards checking account, and the highest regular savings rate in its market area.  Combine that with pleasant, personal service, plus investments and insurance, and you have a one-stop financial services organization... onlt criticism, they aren't everywhere.

Lack Of Common Courtesy

Posted by: |

I had my car loan through GFA apparently a passbook was opened and I was Never made aware of this. After 8 months they started charging me a fee for no transactions, 3 months worth. I signed up for a life insurance policy through GFA, under the assumption I would be billed the same as my auto loan, NO, they charged me for $80. for insufficient funds without ever once notifying me of any problem or of a passbook. Their lack of professionalism and courtesy speaks for itself, I highly recommend anyone to stay away from them.

Horrible Bank

Posted by: |

I opened a savings account at GFA credit union - Ashburnham, MA. When I moved a couple of years ago I forgot to change my mailing address. I went into the bank a couple of days ago to close the account and the bank had taken out over $400 because they couldn't send me my statements. BECAUSE they DID NOT send my statements. So they had less work to do and charged me for it. Many phone calls to various managers and they insist this is legal. REALLY???!!!

Discriminatory Practices

Posted by: |

Twice I have been rejected for an auto loan with GFA. My credit score is nearly 800 and I have an annual income of over $175,000 with equity in my home. It must be a matter of someone there not liking me or maybe its my Latino heritage. Stay away from this organization and its discriminatory practices
