Today my 16 year old needed to get a debit and credit card and piles of doumentation because she is preparing for an exchange year in Argentina.
I could not have received better support from the folks at the credit union. Steve and Chris were working as a tag team for us, finding us all the documents we needed, including a money link account so we can deposit money directly into our daughter's account, if she needs it abroad, at no cost. My daughter was pleased to be informed that this account is still individual for her with her own pin (which we can't use) and the added capacity to deposit her pay stubs with photos from her phone.
On the spot, she got her own debit card and pin, documents she needed for her VISA as well as notarization for many of them, and travel/money advice.
As we were leaving, Chris gave my 8-year-old Star Wars stickers, and talked (and really listened!) with him about a video game he is playing. My son was beaming! A potentially boring trip had a definite highlight. (He told me that the bank errand was long, but not boring.)
I recommend this credit union near the capitol. And I feel at ease that these guys! They know what they are doing, and I am sure we (especially my traveling daughter) will be in secure hands. read more
