I even feel more confident with employees like Vannesa Fine & Terry Mello I l8ve how this building made a beautiful turn around it looks beautiful!!! I'm so besides myself I almost just want to drive thru the parking lot just because I like it so much !!! BTW it's closer to me now so I'm so glad it's open now thank you all for making it possible to have put Safe 1 here!!

Besides the granite falls location I absolutely enjoy the staff here!…read more I don't think a lot of people know that they are open yet.

After much review and searching, trying to decide whether to go with a credit union and or bank. Finally I decided to pull the trigger and make the jump. Valley Republic has thus far met our needs and exceeded them. Right off the bat we felt welcomed and treated respectfully. The branch is clean and calm and quiet. At least quiet right now lol. But the employees (tellers too) were professional and not rushed or disrespectful. They really do care for you. I love that the business here is mutual. The online banking options are good as well and they're business banking is good as well.

They cannot handle Trusts. Spent three hours to set up a checking account for s trust. The bank…read moremanager had to take care of the situation. Had to call a lawyer to call their legal department which costs the trust money. All the money is going to a charity. The bankers are stupid. Don't go or ask for the Bank manager up front.

My daughter has her car loan through this bank. If it wasn't for coming in once in awhile for her,…read moreI'd probably never would have known this Bank. I LOVE the location of this bank. There isn't much parking around the entrance of the bank but the few times I've come here getting a parking spot is no problem. It is never busy when I have come. Inside is pretty spacious and so clean. The times I've gone, I've never seen a staff member at the front desk but regardless the staff in their offices have always greeted me and wished me a good day. I love the booths where we can make a payment with the staff member who pops up on the screen. And if you want privacy i think there is a sliding door. Its always been in and out for me.

The teller's are very nice and they always get through the line of customers as quickly as…read morepossible. I'm a frequent flyer and I can attest to all of the tellers being super kind. Cesar was the first to make polite conversation with me; but all the girls are always willing to participate in a chat while they process my request. I think it's very cool that they all always seem to be enjoying their work as well. Sometimes that's not true for banks and it creates an environment that kinda sucks. But, this quick so, I recommend plus there is an easy to access ATM right outside the teller line if that's what you're looking for.

Located in the Vons this little bank packs a big punch when it comes to customer service…read more The tellers smile and make conversation as they process the transactions knowing people have things to do. Not sure if it's a training center because they have a different rotation of tellers quite often. I've never had a problem cashing any checks and I love when the teller says "I'll cash it out and then deposit it" It's the small things that make a big difference

By far the worst bank ever to bank at! I've gone inside so many times and those times I've been…read moreinside they are super super slow. Been told to go in one line to another line just for a dispute on a ATM machine taking my money and eating it up! People should avoid going inside or go to another bank as a matter of fact. This bank in this location is so ass it makes the bank look bad already as it is! ATM machines here are so terrible compared to to other locations.

I always receive great customer service at this branch. The employees have often gone above and…read morebeyond to help me. I had two snafus here - my new ATM card never arrived in the mail and my replacement card expired & another time I had an appointment with a personal banker and he never came but I was attended by someone else - but I still like the people and the service. I usually never have to wait or wait long either so that is a huge plus. On another note, I really wish Wells Fargo had more stand alone ATMs or branches in Bakersfield, specifically on the westside. I feel like they are few and far between and they are all inside other stores so it's hard to find parking quickly to go get cash. Kind of defeats the purpose of the ATM.

Sergio Chavez is a Contact Center Supervisor and he gave me SUPERIOR customer service. Thank you so…read moremuch for helping me, Sergio! Credit unions are not-for-profit, member-owned, and offer lower fees and better interest rates on loans and savings accounts. I've banked with Strata before their rebranding. At that time they were known as Kern Federal Credit Union. I've always had a nice experience with them. I've moved out of Bakersfield but still choose to remain a customer of theirs based on my customer experience and perks in being part of a credit union. One perk people hardly think about is life-insurance, which Strata provides $2,000 for free (at least for me). People don't think about how helpful these perks are, but always do your homework. Banks are for profit organizations that make money off of us. I particularly commend Strata for their member perks they have and their customer service! You're working with PEOPLE, you get to talk to a live PERSON, and you don't have to deal with a robot for most of your coversation.
