Honestly this place seems to have new people all the time. I believe there are issues with management, and I no longer feel like a valued customer anymore. Something needs to be done fast at this location, before there arent anymore customers

I actually called and talked to a teller who explained I would be able to use this bank as a means to obtain a cashier check because they're a co-op with Navy Federal Credit Union. Well that wasn't true and now I can not pay pay a bill because of this misinformation. I can use the ATM ANYWHERE USA!!!

Every single time I have encountered an issue they have resolved it quickly and explained what went wrong in a way that was easy to understand. I have always felt like a valued customer and been treated as if my business was wanted. Cesar, Cameron, and Morgan, as well as any other employees, are always cheerful and helpful and make me happy to be a part of this credit union!!

I walked into Acclaim FCU, simply looking for a banking experience, less all the fees, extra charges and hassle of my then current bank accounts. What I discovered was a banking experience like Id remembered from years before the bank became just another institution. From my first introduction to Cameron, who is a professional extraordinaire, to the teller line, where they actually know my name, before they pull up my account, this experience has reimagined banking for me. I recently purchased a new vehicle through my credit, union and they worked for me like they had a vested interest; after

I have been with Acclaim since Oct. 2018 and there is no way that I am going to change Banks. The customer service is flawless and everyone treats you with respect and really makes you feel at home. When I first became a member Jewell Penn was so helpful in answering any questions and giving me advice on what would be the best for me to do. I would give Acclaim 10 Stars but they only let me give 5. I am so happy I found Acclaim Federal Credit Union no intention of ever leaving!
