SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union

Excellent customer service as always! From day one I started banking with them I’ve been extremely satisfied. Friendly staff! Would definitely recommend!

Love my bank. Not many locations, but the service is excellent.

I love my credit union, crazy to say that about a credit union, but I have already gotten treated so well here and they always take care of any issues I might have or have had! great customer service, been a member for almost 6 years now, and I do not bank with anyone else!

At the time I opened my account I was a school district employee. I don’t know why I waited so long to open an account. I had an account with Chase and it was just ok. Finally I wanted to purchase a car so I decided to open an account. I instantly qualified for a credit card, a descent APR on an auto loan and overdraft protection. They have a bunch of ATM locations, a change machine at the branch and a summer saver account that has a good interest rate. What really made me realize this credit union wasn’t like any other bank is when I signed up for direct deposit I had my check go to 2 bank accounts. For some reason my school district sends one amount electronically and they send the other with a paper check that takes 20 additional days. (PUSD sucks). After I finally figured everything out. I called the bank to let them know. I wish I knew the name of the lady that helped me so I could give her a shout out. She was so awesome she offered to put a credit in my account for the same amount (77% of my check) until they received my check. She understood how that could have been someone’s mortgage payment lucky for me it wasn’t that big of a deal but I still appreciated the fact she did that for me. The only problem I have is I wish they offered quick pay like Chase has other than that I’m really impressed.

It really doesn’t get better than this for Credit Unions. If you’re lucky enough to be a teacher or friend/​relative of a member, then you’re in luck. These guys are the best.

Let me start by saying that in my 20’s (when did my 30’s get here?) I started thinking about something decades away. Retirement. I’d been teaching for a year, and I couldn’t imagine teaching for another 35 years, but figured it would eventually come. After a short while with another investment group, I took my money to Schools First Federal Credit Union (formerly Orange County Teachers Credit Union).
While their former name might suggest they’re limited to Orange County, they actually serve both classified and unclassified employees, and their families, in 10 different counties.
They’ve got loads of investment options and a knowledgeable staff that explained, in detail, all of my choices. They recommended certain investments, based on my personal situation and preferences I had.
I’ve been with them for a while now, and I am happy with my investment performances. They also call me up to see how things are going and to review my investments to see if anything needs to be changed, updated, or anything of that sort.
