This Credit Union has convienent locations throughout the KCMO metro area.. It'd be even greater if the drive-thru was open till 6pm, like most other financial institutions. They have free coffee everyday & free donuts on Friday's, they used to even have free cheeseburgers on payday!! Along with the raffle for free handguns & rifles.. Overall this place has more events

Literally the worst credit union in the world. Fees for everything, ridiculous interest, and offer no support to their members whatsoever.
