Finance Center Federal Credit Union

This place is SO SLOW! It’s takes them 5 minutes to deposit a check! It’s ridiculous!!!

Admit it, shopping around for a financial institution is rather confusing. Having grown up near a military base and joined myself, I’d become familiar with the benefits of credit unions. Lower rates, better benefits. I remember when you had to be a member of a certain organization to join, these days I’m not so sure. So when I made my way to Indianapolis back in ’95, Fort Harrison still resembled a base and I went with what I knew — the base credit union.
I must say, this Credit Union has a lot fewer branches than I was used to, but they’re spread out across town and you can also use Forum Credit Union when you can’t find one. There are several account options to select from, and like most other banks, they offer FREE checking, affordable loan options, a Christmas Account, and they even cover your ATM transactions at other institutions so long as you maintain a certain level of activity.
With the rampant corruption and downfall of the United States banking institutions, I guess I feel like credit unions are more trust worthy. FCFCU is a local establishment and has been named Best Places to Work in Indiana, which also helps me determine that my money is in the right spot.
I don’t know about you, but all the bank takeovers are wearing me out a bit (National City to PNC) and all the new names popping up and unknowns (what the heck is Stock Yard?) just tell me that you don’t know what accessibility and fees will be hitting your money, whatever amount you have. I prefer the tried and true and will keep my checks routed to Finance Center Federal.
