F & A Federal Credit Union

I used to go to the main branch in Monterey Park, but ever since this branch opened up I have been coming here for most of my transactions. I have been to this branch I believe three times. It’s nice to have a branch close to where I live and work.
For the most part, I usually come here to make some quick transactions. Whenever I’m here I don’t feel very welcomed comparing to other banks that I’ve been to. Maybe it’s a credit union thing.
This branch is a lot smaller than the one in Monterey Park and the times that I’ve been here there was only one teller available. It was a good thing that it wasn’t that busy. It would be nice to have more than just one teller because even though it wasn’t busy I was still waiting in line.
My most recent visit was yesterday. I came in to get some tickets to Magic Mountain and I was a little disappointed leaving this branch. I needed to purchase eight tickets for this weekend and there were only three left. The person who was helping me at that time gave me some options: either pick up the rest of the tickets at their main location (Monterey Park) or come back another day when they get more. Well I was not too happy with either option. It was three something in the afternoon and the other branch closes at four and from Whittier to Monterey Park was not that close. In addition, yesterday was my only day where I got off of work at 2:30. I had no choice but to speed my way to the branch in Monterey Park. Luckily, I made it in time and no speeding ticket. I should’ve just driven straight to the MP branch because they always have everything in stock.
However, I didn’t have a hard time finding a parking space at this branch as they have their own parking lot. It’s a small one, though.
Lesson for the day: come to this branch for just some quick transactions and anything else to save myself from all the trouble just drive to the main branch in Monterey Park.

thank god this credit union got closer to me! I would have to normally drive to the Monterey park location. the building is really cute and the people are nice inside as well. I never have any problems with how slow it is. there’s usually never a line. and every time I have gone, I deal with someone nice. no complaints yet and hopefully I never have to! I’ve been with this credit union since i turned 18. even longer if my parents making me a savings account even counts but I got my first debit card at 18. I love the discounted tickets they have. I always purchase AMC tickets and I love how I never have any problems with my account here. I hear horrible stories about my friends bank but my bank is awesome! I feel like I’m in a private club cause you can’t get an account here unless your the son or daughter of a parent that works for the police, fire dept. etc. or if that is what you do for a living. plus they have an appreciation day every year for their customers with free in n out! how awesome is that!!! plus they have occasional partys for the bank members. but you have to buy tickets for those! but their not pricey! I mean not a lot of banks do what they do here :)
