A Community Bank
Philadelphia Federal Credit Union membership is open to anyone who lives, works, or goes to school in Philadelphia. Their services range from saving accounts, to mortgages, to auto loans. I go to physical branch locations roughly once every other month, and their weekend hours make it easy to get to the bank when I need it.
PFCU has competitive rates, friendly customer service, and pretty decent online banking. Their branches have convenient locations throughout the city, and with the account I have, I am not charged surcharges when I use ATMs, which is very useful. I have never had a problem with PFCU or any of their services. Right now, I have a checking account and a money market account with them, and after comparing their rates to other institutions, I am sure I'm getting the best deal. I am planning on taking out an auto loan soon, and have a lot of confidence in what they can offer me. Of course, because they are a smaller institution, their online banking isn't quite as user-friendly as bigger banks, but overall I am still very happy with it.
Philadelphia Federal credit union.
I love the Philadelphia credit union, especially the Roosevelt boulevard branch. The employees are always so friendly, and eager and willing to help. I can honestly say I've never had a bad experience. I recommend PFCU to anyone.
Credit union rating
The customer service is either average or bad. The fees are non existent. The good thing about a credit unioin is that I do not have to maintain a certain amount of money. I can have a zero balance and not be charged fifteen dollars per month or have my account closed. There are not enough branches around although I live in the center of the city and there are only two branches not close by. The down side is that to withdraw money you go to a convenience store and only one branch has an atm that allows you to make deposits.
PFCU is a Credit Union That Should be Investigated
I had high expectations for being a member of Philadelphia Federal Credit Union. I knew credit unions were better for the community that national banks, but I found this not to be the case with PFCU. They had only one ATM machine to do deposits and it was broken every weekend for 2 years. No matter how many times others and I complained they failed to maintain the machine. Therefore we bounced many transactions and were charged a ton of fees by PFCU because we could not deposit money into our account in time to cover auto deductions from utility bills that were on auto-pay. I also found that they nickle and dimed members every chance they got. Complaints went unanswered. I contacted a consumer group and PFCU lied and said that their ATM was only broken 3% of the time. That was very much not the case.
