“I never understood the difference in what a CU was when I was younger but finally I left banks and made the switch years ago. The difference has been night and day. I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else. They’ve been awesome every time I’ve needed help and they do nice members events from time to time. Absolutely check them out.”
