Uw Credit Union

Few things are as good as advertised, but as someone who has been using credit unions instead of banks since 1992, I can tell you that UWCU is.
The first thing my wife and I did when we moved to Milwaukee in 1998 was go to this location and set up checking, savings, and debit cards for us both. We’ve never regretted this.
Since then, they’ve helped us buy several cars, finance and refinance our first mortgate, set up a homeowners line of credit, protect our finances with overdraft protection, and consolidate and pay off other debts.
Every person we’ve dealt with at UWCU has been helpful and knowledgeable. We’ve put our trust in them and it’s been effortless to do so.
I am rather like an evangelist when it comes to UWCU. I’ve made countless converts from banks to their services, and each has thanked me profusely.
And if you’re worried about access to ATMs, etc. please know that credit unions in WI are all part of the Credit Union League whereby they grant no fee ATM access to all credit union members of any brand. Some allow deposits and some do not, but I used to keep a list with me when I was driving 35,000 miles a year around WI for work and never had a problem with finding access.
You just don’t have to pay fees with UWCU for things which banks tend to charge for as it it’s a rule, not an option.
We’ve also traveled overseas a few times, and UWCU has enabled us to use our ATM cards without problems while doing so.
The level of service is almost too good for five stars. I give them six out of five.

I’m not sure where to put this review. This location, which is in the UWM Student Union, is my original location of choice when I was a student. Since I’ve graduated though I probably use the one near Bayshore on Pt Washington Rd more often and I really like the location in Wauwatosa as well.
All of that aside, I love this bank! They have so many awesome features that make wonder why anyone would bank at an actual «bank» rather than here. The girl banks at Chase and it just seems like the most awful situation compared to what I get.
Totally free checking. I don’t even need a check-​book, they have an online check feature where they’ll send out your checks for to whomever you want.
They have a coin counter in the lobby. Do you have a jar of change? I have a jar of change. Do you like the Coinstar machine in the Pick n’ Save lobby? ME EITHER. This one is better ’cause it’s free.
They watch out for me. They’ve caught fraud for me before and even quickly voided charges that I didn’t make.
And no ATM fees. The girl gets charged like four dollars at No-​Fee ATMs.
Really, Chase, Really?
5 Stars from Me For The U-​Dub-​See-​You.

I’ve been a member for over 10 years despite the fact that I live out of the state and convenience is out the window. Fantastic customer service and great rates!
I question anyone that uses a bank over a credit union.
