Iv'e had certificates and cd's at many other banks and savings and loans. Never have I been told to jump through so many hoops to have the money that was mine be mailed to me at maturity. This place has the poorest, most ridiculous excuse for customer service and I will never work with them again.

We recently worked with Miss. Veronica Adams at Johns Auto Sales. She was so friendly and made the deal between the customer and the bank so easy. It was a pleasure doing this deal with you, I recommend Excite Credit Union for everyone. Very nice, professional and personable.

Staff is always nice and ready to answer any questions I have about my account. The one thing I will say and I dont know if they have any control over it, is the ATM is very difficult to use. Sometimes I have to try 5 times for it to take my cash and the text and background clash making it almost impossible to read the screen. I believe its green background with light purple text.

When my husband's credit union closed, our accounts were sent to this credit union. These people are amazing! The transition went smoothly and they have treated us like family. They always welcome us and have taken every precaution necessary during this last several months. There is never a long line. Most times, I'm in and out within minutes.
