I had better service at the bigger banks like capital One and Discover. They charge so many fees and interest charges and they arent lenient, especially when you miss one payment for the first time. I have banked with them for years but the fees are ridiculous. Other banks have better overdraft protections and they are more understanding to your situation. I would look at other banks before coming to this one. I plan on closing my accounts soon and transferring banks

Bay Area Credit Union is an amazing place to bank.The staff is very friendly and super helpful. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a new or better banking establishment. Brie is probably the best, most helpful and beautiful human I've ever met. I love her!

I needed a personal loan to pay off a few things and get my monthly expenses down. Sara was an amazing help in making sure that we tackled the most expensive ones that were going to cost the most in the long run. She was and still is very professional and very prompt with responses and information. I will definitely be going here for the future if I ever need a loan again. THANK YOU SARA FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP!

I've recently switched banks to Bay Area Credit Union. I was a bit hesitant but was ensured by Devin that BACU was the right choice when it came to customer service and products. He seemed the most knowledgeable out of everyone iv talked to. On top of that he didn't make me feel just like any old customer he made me feel important. That's hard to come by now a days. Thanks to him I don't regret my decision and don't see myself switching institutions anytime soon.

I've been a member of the Bay Area Credit Union family for over a decade. Never have I once thought of leaving. All of the staff are friendly and helpful but I would like too highlight two ladies that stand out to me. Christine Briones has been with BACU for many years and has always done a wonderful job. Sarah Derr is new to the team and is as professional as she is courteous. With good people like that there is little doubt in my mind that BACU IS #1!...
P.S. Call Mrs. Derr, Tri-Sarah-Tops... inside joke
