Overall, a great local credit union. I would recommend them. Customer service in our local branch has always been exceptional.
Legacy Community Federal Credit Union in Birmingham, Alabama has been my credit union for over 25 years. I have had my paychecks direct deposited there since I graduated college in 1992. Legacy offers local banking with very reasonable fees, and the atmosphere inside the main branch is welcoming and is a very relaxing environment in which to do my business.
The one drawback that I have with Legacy is the terrible rate of return on deposit accounts (Savings, Checking, Money Market, CDs, IRAs). That is why I do not save large sums of money at Legacy Federal Credit Union, preferring, instead, to utilize online banking opportunities. In other words, I just use Legacy for clearing my checks and paying my bills. All other savings are then funneled to my online savings accounts.
Good rewards system (2% interest checking). The staff are friendly. Been using this for about a year. ATM rewards have happened without a hitch. I use ACH from a different bank which quals for direct deposit. I do a bunch of $1 payments for my internet payment which counts as my required transactions. Overall, good stuff and I'm happy. No issues and convenient locations for me in Birmingham, AL.
I was a checking and savings account member for 7 years.
I wish I never joined this credit union because of the inexplicable overdraft fees, no alert system for low balance, mysterious automatic account payments, and the poor customer service.
Do yourself a favor and consider a different credit union.
