Have used the same credit union for 13 years+
My wife and I have been members of this credit union for well over 13 years. We have a joint checking and savings account, along with a separate savings account. Direct deposit and online banking is over 90% of our usage. Never have we had a problem with deposits or withdrawals, whether at an ATM or done via a mobile device.
Customer service is excellent, and the wait time on the phone for an agent is minimal. Their online automated system is also quite useful and efficient if you do not need to speak to a real person.
We have moved to a couple of different cities in 13 years, neither of which has had a local branch. This did not deter us in any way from using this credit union. As mentioned before, most of our banking is done online or via a mobile device.
APR on savings is bit low, and the overdraft fees can be high. However, no higher than any other institution.
I would and have always given my credit union a solid 9.5/10 rating, and will continue to do business with them.
Best bank in NW Florida
Tyndal Federal Credit Union is one of the best banks around. When I used them, there was an incentive to open an account. They normally offer a free gift for opening an account. They were one of the 1st banks to waive ATM fees ,They reimbursed ATM fees .Their NSF fees are lower than the average bank. At the time, they also had the highest interest earning checking accounts around. I have never been wronged by TFCU, now both my children have accounts there.
Community Credit Union To Grow With
Since I was a child I have had an account with Tyndall Federal Credit Union. From using just a saving account and Certificate of Deposit account to adding in checking once I graduated high school. I have found it easy to set up the accounts, ask questions related to interest, fees and companies trying to debit my accounts without permission. In cases of people trying to empty my accounts, I found TFCU quickly able to lock the account and get my money returned in days without having to fight them over it. Even adding in a debit card was simple and replacing it once they added in chips was just as simple. I see myself continuing to use them as well as, once I have children, helping them set up accounts as well.
No Body Is Perfect.
I am 50 years old and have had an account with Tyndall since I was 14.They have been responsible for financing my home, many autos, all my big toys (Boats,motorcycles etc.).They have done exactly as promised on every occasion. You would have to prove to me that there is a better financial institution anywhere. My Family and myself are totally satisfied with every aspect of our relationship with Tyndall.
