Wonderful Service! I Went bank shopping for a place to open a new checking account and I loved the way there was a yound lady right there in front of the door to greet me and ask me "how can I help you". Right there, I knew SCCU was it! The other banks were too busy doing other things and another bank was trying to get the attention of new customers of new clients by putting muffins in the front door. Well that didnt work for me. SCCU is awesome!

All the associates at the Rockledge South Branch are great! They are the most helpful and friendly group of people. I enjoy going. They keep me coming back for more of my banking needs! Also I have had to use customer service via the phone and they have always offered great service too. I have been with SCCU since 1988 and have seen the company grow in the most postive ways. Thank you.

I did not like setting up my account via phone while in the credit union and, then, being passed on to an account rep to finish the set up. When my husband and I set up our original account several years ago we sat down with a representative who explained everything, etc. This time when I left the credit union I was confused about the whole experience. Your current method of opening accounts is very poor. If my husband and I weren't already members of the credit union, I would not have continued with my account after the above experience. I would have looked for some place where they cared enough to have one person handle the entire experience of opening an account.
