Great service and fees
They've always been generous in their rates and their flexibility. I really have enjoyed my experience with them. I got my first car with them and would do it again.
Publix Employees Federal Credit Union Checking and Savings
I have been a customer of the Publix Employees Federal Credit Union for over seven years. I find that their customer service and ease of access to my accounts through mobile platforms and conventional internet access has been the main reason that I have stuck with them. Their checking and savings accounts incur fees only when my balance drops below $50 which is unheard of in a lot of larger banks. Because they are smaller, I have been caught in a few compromising situations where I needed to reach someone outside of business hours and was not able to speak with anyone. This was a major inconvenience at the time because I was not able to access my money in my checking or savings accounts. However, when I am in town and doing business with them in person or over the phone, I am always treated with the utmost respect and accommodation. Though I do now keep an additional account for emergencies, the bulk of my money for my everyday spending will stay with PEFCU.
