Small Town Bank
My wife was working as a teacher at La Joya ISD. When she began her employment, the provided information about the arrangement they had with the local credit union. Because of her employment with the district, it was streamlined so we could have direct deposit to an account with the local credit union. Also, because of her employment, there were many options and incentives we were pre-qualified for. This was nice and made banking seamless. We opened and account and got everything setup. Anytime we visited the bank, the service was excellent. They even joked that were part of the "family". My wife and I both attended school at the district, and that must have added to the quality of service we received. We also have some family that lives in the city, so that really gave it the small town appeal. We recommended the credit union to most people because of the small town style service. The checking features were on par with other banks and they have kept up with technology as well.
