I'm a new member, and everyone I've come in contact with has been so nice and helpful. I appreciate all the support I've received since joining. The young lady whose office is to the left, as you enter, is always willing to help and has a super pleasant attitude.

I would give 5 stars, financial department is the best , it's paying the notes / loan payments every month that's difficult. It's the most inconvenient loan payments I've ever dealt with . If you are not able to walk in and pay it's a 10 to 15 minute wait on the phone and a 10 dollar convenient fee . Every thing else I have payments on is a few clicks in the app and a submit push with my debit card and done.
