Consolidated Community Credit Union

I’ve had an account here for 14 years. They are friendly and helpful every time. The staff has helped me get loans and work out many financial issues.

We worked with Brent at CCCU to fund our first home mortgage. His assistance was incredibly thorough, timely, and informed, and we always felt like he had our best interests in mind throughout the entire process. Even a month after closing we were able to contact him with a few questions we had and he has continued to promptly help us with the same same quality of service that he exhibited during the buying process.
The one thing we learned from our incredibly stressful and complicated homebuying experience is that there is no substitute for experienced and confident representation, and in that department Brent takes the cake. We’re looking forward to working with him again in the future.

OK: I banked with Wells Fargo since I was a teen. Then I opened an account at CCCU. What a huge change! Consolidated is great in several ways.
First, they are good at what they do. I have complicated banking needs, and CCCU is always able to deal with my issues. (Contrast with Wells Fargo, where anything out of the ordinary stumps the banker.)
Next, they are nice to me in banking ways. By which I mean I often have overdrafts, and they often forgive the overdraft fee. (That certainly never happened at Wells.)
Finally, they are SUPER nice in person. They know me by name, they ask after my family, and I look forward to going in the bank. It’s rad.
I recommend them without hesitation.

I absolutely love CCCU! I recently moved to Portland from Arizona where I had been with the same credit union since age 16, that’s 17 years! I was worried I could never find a credit union I trusted as much as my old one. I checked out a few credit unions, which I didn’t qualify for because my job wasn’t in their network. I was referred to CCCU because I live in the neighborhood and I am SO happy I was! They are so helpful and friendly! When I come in, they already know who I am and pull up my account without me having to give them any information. They know me by name and remember tid-​bits of info about me (i.e. «Hi there MacKenzie! How’s the job hunt here in Portland going?»). It’s a comfortable feeling and I have always received excellent, friendly service. Sarah and David definitely stand out as super helpful staff members. Great job CCCU!

I wish I was enthusiastic about CFCU.
CFCU is now called consolidated community credit union.
Ive been banking with another credit union for about 3 or 4 years and I absolutely LOVE them. So when I moved to Oregon I was super hopeful of what credit union I might join up here. That to say, I was really disappointed with CCCU.
The facility itself is drab and depressing. It feels super sterile inside and I honestly hate going into the bank now which is sad because my CU in California was AWESOME I really loved going there.
When we signed up for an account our banker was soooo slow we were literally in there for over 2 hours!!! It was ridiculous. She was sweet but incompetent and 2 hours later I couldn’t care less about sweet. She didn’t seem to know much about what the bank had to offer and was really vague. Another thing that I found annoying was that if we ever went in the morning and needed something printed or copied, we had to wait for their machines to warm up. I’m sorry, are we living in 1995? It felt unprofessional and lax.
Overall I’m not pleased with CCCU and will probably switch banks soon.

Great people, and friendly service. Who can ask for a better credit union? :)

You will never truly experience banking until you have banked with a credit union!!!
Most Credit Unions require you to ‘join’ the bank either through family, work, or club association. In a way, although it took years to find one I qualified for… it was so worth it! CFCU has been delightful to deal with; I use their super classic olde’ school Christmas Club Account to save for the Holidays & I also have a CFCU issued C/​C with a super low rate that I negotiated with them & where the heck else could you do that?!
Now for the best part… I live in Chicago, I don’t even live in Oregon, but when I called their loan department and asked if they could do the work to re-​fi my Chicago home — They said «Sure!!!» and proceeded to blow my mind with the most detailed and quick service I have ever received! In fact if you call ask for Jared Kuehn, I can’t say enough nice things about this loan officer.
So folks banking at regular big box banks, give your local Credit Union a try & call CFCU if you can get in with them, they are crazy awesome.
