Easy to use and online access to banking

Posted by: DanielM321 | Mar 12, 2015

Safe Credit Union offers many great solutions to everyday banking that are different from other big banks or local banks. First of all, signing in online is very safe and secure. If it is a different computer, the system will send you a text or email, this is an extra security step. When online, viewing your banking history is easy and provides instant history of your everyday transactions and bills payed online. On top of that, your transactions can be categorized into different groups to make it easier to see where one used their card. Transferring money is also super easy. Furthermore, applying for a credit card or loan is convenient and can be done real quick and with assistance if needed. Last, an app can be downloaded to your phone to utilize banking services and view your balance anytime and anywhere at your convenience, and even with the app, your security always comes first. Safe Credit Union is a great bank with super great online support and accessibility.

Safe Credit Union's Excellent Service

Posted by: DanielT | Aug 29, 2014

This is one of the best credit unions in the greater Sacramento area. After being a member for over 3 years, I have to say that this is the best bank and credit union by far. They offer free credit and savings account and offer superior customer service and online service. Their mobile service is excellent as well, very fast and efficient. You can transfer money easily and their savings account is very good as well. The best part about this credit Union is that they are fair when it comes to fees. I have not once been charged fees for going over limit, and if you do, you can pay make your account positive by the end of the day without being charged the fee.

Now To Charge For Coin Deposits

Posted by: carly | Dec 4, 2013

I've stayed with SAFE because they had a coin machine in the lobby that would automatically deposit the coins to your checking or savings. On the downside, they wouldn't accept a roll of coins at the tellers.

Starting January 1st, they will start charging a 3% fee to accept coins deposited to your account. They are actually already charging the fee at the coin machine but the teller will refund it until Jan 1st.

The Worst Ever

Posted by: dounome987 | Aug 22, 2011

I've been a SAFE credit union member since 1986. In that time they have repeatedly inspired me to take my serious banking business elsewhere - and by repeatedly inspired I mean horrific failures that cost me huge money and inconvenience and all I got was lame excuses and useless apologies. I use them for a few things that are handy; cheap wire transfers, free coin counter, backup ATM card. I won't trust them with more than the cost of a tank of gas ever again.
