Happy customer

Posted by: Steph1223 | Jan 11, 2015

I have been a happy customer of NASA federal credit union for years. Initially I was concerned with the fact that there are no locations nearby enough to go to, but I have not had any issues doing my banking online with them. When I have a check to deposit, it is easy enough to take a picture of it and deposit it using my phone without even having to travel anywhere. It has been quick and easy to make any transfers as well as authorizing larger purchases with my accounts. In every instance in which I've had to call customer service, they have been friendly, understanding, and I've hung up the phone being very pleased with the experience. I made an error with my checking account at one point, and after a quick phone call, they offered to refund a fee I was charged from my own error. Overall, I am very happy with this credit union.

Checking and saving accounts

Posted by: Camelia77 | Mar 3, 2015

I have been with NASA Federal Credit Union for more than 10 years. Compared to my experience with other banks, I really like that there is no monthly fees or other fees for my both checking and saving accounts. Another good thing is that I don't need to worry about the overdraft fees for my checking account. If there is not enough money in my checking account, the bank will automatically transfer money from my saving account, without any fees or penalty! That's very nice. I have a checking and a saving accounts with another bank. It didn't offer the same service, so I was charged a overdraft fee. Also, it is very convenient for me to withdraw cash from either the bank or the ATM machine, without fees, AGAIN!

NASA Credit Union Be Careful

If you open an account here they do a HARD credit pull which lowers your credit score.

Satisfied NASA FCU Customer

Posted by: Shawn | Nov 6, 2015

I have had a premier money market account with NASA Federal Credit Union for quite some time now. I really like banking with them because they are such a reputable company. Their web and mobile experience has been very good! I think both their mobile app and website are highly user friendly and they even allow you to deposit a check by taking a picture of both the front and back side of the check. That is very convenient and makes my life easier. They are very reasonable when it comes to fees as well. The only thing that is a bit annoying is that they require a minimum balance for certain accounts. In my case, I have to keep $10,000 in my money market account at all times. I deal with it, but it would be nice if I did not have to worry about that. NASA FCU's customer service has always been wonderful. Their staff are all consummate professionals who go out of their way to help me every time I call them. Overall I am very happy with this credit union and highly recommend them.
