Great local bank!

The MIT Federal Credit Union is fantastic. Even though they don't have too many ATM's outside of Cambridge, they reimburse up to $5/month in ATM fees, which is helpful! It's very easy to transfer funds and set up electronic deposit with this bank. They have a great "Money Management" tool on their website that helps with tracking spending, creating and sticking to a personal financial budget. They also offer customers the ability to take pictures of checks using smartphones and deposit them into the account. The customer service is very personal and highly efficient. They are always friendly, helpful and patient. The only downside with this credit union is that you need to have an affiliation to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (student, alumni, staff, family of staff, etc.) in order to open up an account with this bank. So, if you're lucky enough to open an account with MIT FCU, you definitely should take advantage of the opportunity!!

MITFCU Review

Posted by: |

The MIT Federal Credit Union is a good but not great banking institution. They do offer mobile banking but it takes a while to get used to. Basically it works but it's not that good. The mobile app is horrible and barely-functioning. In person they are friendly enough but not super nice. They'll answer your questions but don't seem too happy. I've been at banks that have been far more pleasant. Fees are decent and they refund like $8 a month of ATM fees. I wish this was unlimited though and there marketing material implies it is, which is very deceptive.
