SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union

I cannot say enough good things about this Credit Union!
I joined when I got married a year and a half ago and I have had nothing but good experiences here. I can’t even imagine banking with any other bank ever again.
They always have plenty of tellers and people ready to help when you step through the door. I’m amazed with how friendly the workers are here!

Amazing. Just one word. Amazing

This credit union is awesome! My husband has been a member for 29 years and has no plans of going anywhere else! I have been a member for 7 years. The tellers and personal bankers are always so friendly and they will do almost anything to help you out with a situation! I have only good things to say about this credit union. Thank you schools first for being there when we need you!

I went in today with my wife so she can open up a bank account, and we both walked out with not only a bank account which is fortunate to have with this credit union, but our auto loan, personal loan, and a credit card issued by them. Great experience. Great staff. Thank you.

I’ve been a member for years and I love this bank! My brother recently opened an account and it reminded me how much better SchoolsFirst is than other banks. The Euclid branch in Anaheim has outstanding customer service! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and handle transactions very quickly. Their online banking and mobile app are great. They also have really good offers for members. Open an account, you won’t be disappointed!

Very high level of customer service. The staff are well trained and very helpful.
Would be nice if they give more money away. We wish.

Awesome staff that is always friendly and willing to help in every way possible. They are truly there to help customers in the best way possible. I can never see myself banking anywhere else. They never take advantage. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

They did not have good parking and the structure is set-​up a bit weird. Manager seemed as though she was not confident in her staff and there weren’t enough windows open. Should consider hiring because this particular bank is limited on locations in comparison to others, Nice bank but a few tweaks will help the overall perception.

I have been a member of this illustrious banking institution for 15yrs. All the locations I have been to have always had a very high level of customer service and satisfaction. This location is no different. This spot is very close to my work, the 5 Freeway and is located in a big shopping center. This is a great franchise with my only complaint being that it is always packed to the rim around 2:30 — 4:00pm!!!Its understandable tho, School First is the champ of banks in the O.C. I highly recommend.

Service is amazing, and they have excellent offers.

Excelente Service.
i recently started working in the area and this is my bank to go to.
Fast and friendly.

Great experience opening a new account here. Extremely friendly staff that work here and were on top of every question and or concern I had. I banked with B of A for years and had poor experiences every time I visited their branches like I was just another customer they wanted to rush in and Rush out. Here I didn’t get that feeling at all and I look forward to my many years of business with this great team of bankers. Definitely recommend anyone who has been thinking of joining to do so if it’s possible for you or your family.

I cannot say enough good things about this Credit Union! My son told me for months to open an account here and finally I did just that and I’m staying. They will have to divorce me to get rid of me ;-) Their Customer Service is exceptional, and the service provided is outstanding. They take excellent care of their customers and, although, I no longer live in Southern Cali, I’m not changing to any other Credit Union and definitely will not be using banks.
Thank you Schoolsfirst Federal Credit Union for your excellent service!!!

Money, it’s a gas. Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
That’s right grab all your cash and stash it here for free. Well almost free. You need to keep 5 bucks in each account, but That’s it.
So for years my lovely sister in law and Fellow Unilocaler has told me to bank here but I never listened to her. On a Tuesday morning I sent her a urgent text that her brother needed to change banks ASAP so she met us there, and hooked him up. Then being my husband he hooked me up, with an account that is.
Funny thing is, my education is in education. I’m the teacher, but not on the list to join. See you need a blood line to join this credit union unless your in the education field and on the list.
So far so good and easy peasy to join. They even give you a break up letter so you can inform your employer of your direct deposit change.
Opening an account requires an ID card and 5 bucks. Then your good to go. Then you have free access to all credit unions.
Solid A report card here.
A plus And 5 gold stars for service

Awesome bank! They have lots of tellers to help you, they aren’t pushy sales people that will call you during dinner time and their rates on loans is amazing. I’ve never had an issue with my banking and my auto loan was about as painless as could be. I’ve since referred several friends and family here.

I don’t personally have an account with this bank but my boyfriend does and from the looks of it, they’re pretty honest. They don’t charge him any type of fees and they give out loans. You can also get an account even if you’re not a student. So that’s swell. The place looks pretty nice too. I’ve only seen three in the OC though so I’m guessing they aren’t very big like Bank of America or Chase.

I am so glad that I switched over to SchoolsFirst! Since I am a recent teacher, I just opened my card with this credit union and it has already been amazing! I can’t say much about it but going through customer service and talking to people who work here… it can’t get any better than that! When you want to talk to someone personally, they get your card and have you wait. The person who helps you out greets you and you can get started! Irma, the woman who helped me, went over thoroughly with the questions I had. I brought in the mail that I had questions about and she carefully explained everything to me. She made notes on the computer to input what we’ve talked about and I think that with just that, they definitely go the extra mile. She was so nice and I believe I will be with this credit union for a very long time!

Great customer service. They even walked me to my car… maybe that was just service for me ;)

Time for a positive 2012 review!
As detailed in my Buccaneer pizza review some jack-​ass stole my debit card info and cloned a card for their personal enjoyment. With my funds at their fingertips they decided to blow almost $ 700 at a Walmart in Florida. Wouldn’t of been my first choice but hey, made it easy for my bank to pick up that something wasn’t right and they quickly called me to make sure it was fraudulent. My card was immediately canceled and my info sent to whichever local branch I was closest to. I came here today and spent a few minutes filling out forms to report the activity and order a new card. Fast, friendly, and efficient.
When my dad passed away in 2010 I went to this branch to open a probate account. With probate lasting over a year I never had a single hiccup with the credit union. Finances were managed with ease thanks to Schools First.
I mentioned in my Cypress branch location that I’ve been a member since I was a kid and have always had great experiences. Services I’ve used are checking, savings, auto loans, personal loans, credit cards, mortgages, and equity loans. Each and every service has been flawless.
Thank you Schoolsfirst for decades of great service!
FYI… $ 5 bills dispensed at the ATM!

This is such a quality financial institution, I feel embarrassed that I have waited so long to review it.
We had the opportunity to open an account here several years ago when my wife was eligible through her job. Been with a few different banks over the years, pretty much all of them were a disappointment
in terms of customer service, high fees, higher interest loans, tons of paperwork for loans, etc.
SchoolsFirst has great customer service! They have easy online banking, no fee ATMs, easier loan applications, better rates on loans.
We switched all of our accounts to them once we found out how much BETTER they are than regular banks. Credit unions are superior, SchoolsFirst is superior to most credit unions.
We have savings, checking, mortgage with them and have refinanced home loans in the past with them, always saving money, and on car loans too.
If you are eligible for membership, you won’t be sorry you switched to a SchoolsFirst credit union.
