Banking with UVa Credit Union
UVa Credit Union was a good bank overall. I used a debit card with them and had a savings and checking account. When I traveled to Italy they made it very easy for me to access my money without any problems. They had good online banking, however I think they were late in the game for getting the online check deposit and whenever I went to the ATM window at the bank to deposit checks that way it was always broken which was frustrating so I would have to go in with my checks until they eventually got the app and could deposit checks with your phone. I also did not like how it was difficult to transfer money to people with different banks. I have Wells Fargo now and it is a lot easier to transfer people money that do not have the same bank as me. I really enjoyed having a checking and savings account with them. There were never hidden fees, they had a small minimum amount for each account and I could transfer money between the two accounts very easily and at any time. This made balancing my money a lot easier. I would have kept an account with them if I had stayed in that area but when I moved there were no Credit Unions so I got a Wells Fargo account. They workers at UVa Credit Union were also always polite and ready to help me with any problems.
UVA Community Credit Union is great
I've been a customer of the UVA community credit union for over 10 years. I think it's a great local bank and I love the ease of doing business with them. I have a savings and checking account through the UVA credit union. My paycheck is directly deposited into my account. I have never encountered any errors with my money. The website is easy to navigate and I use the bill pay option, which is easy and convenient. Their mobile app makes it easy for me to deposit checks, so I rarely have to visit a branch. Speaking of branches, there are plenty in my area. There is one within a 5 minute drive of my work, as well as one of their atm's inside my work building. There is also one within a 10 minute drive of my home, as well as several other branches scattered throughout my home town. So finding a local atm is easy and helps prevent having to pay atm fees.
I've only had one incident with them, which was my fault and demonstrates how strong their security is. I traveled out of the country and forget to alert them to my travels. So when I tried to pull cash out of an atm, the transaction was denied. I was able to email them and explain that I was out of the country, so they lifted the block on my account and I was able to use the atm. While inconvenient at the time, I realize that they were protecting my account since it was unusual for my atm card to be used in another country.
I've had a great experience with the UVA community credit union and plan to be their customer for a long time.
