Great Credit Union
I've been a member of my local Credit Union for many years, and my experience with them can only be described as excellent. I never even remotely consider changing banks. Now, I don't have a lot of money to rate them on money investments or anything like that, but I know that I can have only $5.00 dollars there for years on my savings or checking and they won't charge me any penalties or fees for that. They offer coin machines for members, which motivates me to keep a piggy bank that I deposit on my savings every year, and I think that's great. In addition, they offer free notary for members and I needed to use their notary services at least twice last year.`Honestly, though, what amazed me the most about my local Credit Union was how simple it was to manage my account and have access to my money while I was overseas. I informed my manager that I would be travelling all over Europe for 6 months and I NEVER had a problem with that. I could transfer money from my savings account to my checking account online and use my debit (not credit) card to access my money pretty much anywhere; even in Poland! I thought it was funny that basically all my friends had trouble with their fancy banks, and I never had one ounce of a problem with my local Credit Union, so I intent to remain a faithful customer.
Keesler is great!
I have been banking with Keesler Federal Credit Union for nearly five years now, and I would highly recommend this bank to anyone in the area who finds themselves unsatisfied with their current banking situation. Both the checking and savings accounts are free of charge with no hidden fees of any sort. I actually make a little interest off of what is in my savings account, so if you think about it, my credit union is actually paying me to bank with them, very minimally of course, but it's still profit. ((90))I also must commend Keesler Federal on the fact that they tend to be open and available on more holidays than any other local banks. Just this past Veteran's Day they were open all day on Friday the 10th of November when every other banking institution in the area was closed for the entire day. My experiences with this Credit Union are all very positive. I honestly cannot think of a single complaint.
Keesler Federal Credit Union is my bank of choice.
If anyone were to ask me my opinion on which bank is the best, my answer is Keesler Federal Credit Union. If you live in south Mississippi and some parts of south Louisiana you are in luck because you have the option to bank with Keesler Federal Credit Union. I have been banking with them, both a checking and savings account, for over five years. I have never encountered any sort of problems in any way with my bank. I do not have to pay a fee of any kind to maintain my account and I even gain a tad of interest in my savings account each month. I have never had to worry about overdrafting because I signed up for a service Keesler offers to protect me from that. If I do end up in a situation where I overdraft, the bank would take the necessary funds from my savings account to cover the difference. The customer service is fantastic. Everyone is always so kind and willing to help. I would highly recommend anyone to bank with Keesler Federal Credit Union if they live in the area.
5 stars for KFCU!
I would not change banks if someone paid me money to do it. I love Keesler Federal Credit Union. Their customer service is amazing and always friendly and ready to assist you in any way they can. I have taken out a loan with KFCU in the past, and I have a savings/checking account with them. I have never had a problem with my account other than one time when I had fraudulent charges on my checking account. When I reported it, KFCU took action quickly and refunded my account within 2 business days. They have waived late fees and overdraft fees for me, as a courtesy, as long as I do not abuse the privilege. They even have a kids club that my kids love because KFCU makes it fun and gives them prizes when they deposit money into their bank accounts!
Wonderful staff
My husband and i have a joint checking and savings account with with Kessler Federal Credit Union. We wanted to start saving for our children's college. We really had no clue were to start so we just walked in and asked a teller. She pointed us in the right direction and a representative explained all our options and the pros and cons. She made the experience so much easier and now we understand exactly what we're doing plus on our way to a great savings for our children. The employees at this bank are friendly, knowledgeable, and understanding. I'm so thankful we have them.
KFCU is the best!
I use Keesler Federal Credit Union (KFCU) as my bank, and I absolutely love them. Not only are they people working there ALWAYS kind, but they are more than happy to work with you and answer any questions you may have. You gain interest on your savings account and there are ZERO fees to set up a checking account. They even waive 2 NSF fee's per year at no charge (most people don't know that!). I would recommend this bank to anyone!
Trustworthy Credit Union
I have been a member of Keesler Federal Credit Union for over a decade. I have both an account with the Credit Union and a big bank, and I deal with Keesler whenever I can. Keesler is willing to give me loans and assistance that Big banks are not. Their rates are more reasonable. I find the receptionists much more friendly, too. Occasionally, their log-in web service goes down, but does not seem to stay down long. This glitch is why I rated them a 4 instead of a 5. Once logged in, I have no issues with the banking website. I plan on staying with Keesler for a long, long time.
