So, I'm a huge fan of credit unions. I used my employers CU until they started having financial issues and closed one of the two branches they had in Phoenix. And started issuing flimsy ATM cards that cracked easily with a 10 dollar replacement fee.
I opened a new account a desert schools. The service is great. Putting a hold on my cashiers check from a fellow shared branching network credit union was asinine and unnecessary. Lucky, they released just enough funds for me to get my bills payed until the hold lifted, so I give them credit, they do have a heart. But seriously, what's the point of cashiers checks if you put a hold on them? Calling them for fund verification is a pain or something?
I also just did a refinance of my mortgage with them, and that's where I give them an A++ on service. Regina Petty and Adam Martinez were awesome. Super quick to respond to my questions and confirming they received my documents. And they went at lightning speed to make the signing for closing convenient for me. I was super happy at how painless the process was.
