Matt and Yelson did a great job!!! They helped me with my car purchase and trade.Thank you ! read more

My experience with this bank has been great the beginning but has got really bad recently.... This rep Francis horrible customer service. Jose and Evelyn was super helpful. I am still extremely upset with the bank in general because they keep linking my account with a scam and money keeps getting taken out, every day this week. Now I am wondering if my payroll check will go through so I can pay my rent.... Unbelievable how people in this bank want to push to back to the scam and not help. read more

I've been a loyal member of this credit union for over 20 years and have always received respectful and courteous service--until today. Unfortunately, my experience with a representative named Katey Campbell was deeply disappointing. She spoke to me in a condescending manner that made me feel disrespected and devalued. This was the first time in two decades that I've ever been treated so poorly by anyone at this bank. I expected better and hope this is addressed so no other long-standing member has to feel the way I did. read more

It's Certified Federal Credit Union now. They have great auto loan rates, if you have good credit. Fast loans and easy online signatures. Great way to buy a vehicle. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I like the San Diego branch best! There aren't very many locations, so you do everything online. They have a visa with pretty good "rewards" read more

I don't recommend to leave your money at this credit union. My partner has been a member for a long time and his business is not valued. We went to apply for a car loan and had a terrible experience. We applied and got approved and they were supposed to help us find the car. We never heard back from them. We kept calling and leaving voicemails and nothing! Finally we got a hold of someone but he said he would have to reapply since we were coming up on 30 days. We needed a car right away as we were currently sharing a car. Reluctantly we went back to reapply only this time we would go find a car right away. We got approved again and found a car we wanted. When I sent the order to the loan officer she let me know that since we bought an older model they wouldn't be able to finance us after all. It was not explained that if we bought an older model even though it's new with only 40 miles they would price it as a used car and what we paid for it didn't match the value they had it at. I asked to speak to someone about this and was told that they would send my info to management and I'm sure I won't hear back. read more

Matt & Katey are fabulous!! I was able to do my Entire car purchase ,trade, financing over the phone. I gave the details of what I wanted Both Matt & Katey did a great job. It took away my anxiety & worries of price haggling , they are easy to talk to . Thank you for my experience so easy !! read more

Received my new debit card since they finally got around to adding tap. Tried to activate it and recording told me I need to contact my lending institution. Called card services, they apologized and "activated" my card over the phone. Tried to use it at a gas station, declined. Tried to add it to Apple Pay, phone said to call my bank to verify. This bullshit is the reason I have multiple bank accounts so I can have access to my $$. If you can't handle something basic like a card activation, I can't trust you with my money. Going down on Monday to close this account and take my business to a bank that has their act together. read more

I would not recommend this bank this bank is the worst bank experience I ever had !! I was promised that if I deposit my check before 7:00pm it was promised to be approved I went to go deposit my check and waited for approval and then they hung up multiple times I finally got to them after a few times and they told me they were waiting on management to approve it and I called again after they hung up and they ended telling me the manager didn't approve it I explained that was my money to pay rent and food they did not care they said oh well call back on Monday today is Friday I have no money !! and after the girl hung up on me.... They don't care !! I will never be going back to this bank ever again. I have always cashed my checks here!! read more

I have been a member for 30 years and I have always been satisfied with their service. I requested the service of a car Specialist and it was Great! Matt was more than I expected, great communication, and He got me a great price for my older car, my car vas delivered here at my house , I couldn't believe it, Thank you so much to the Loan department, they made it easy to finish up all the paperwork, I definitely recommend to ask for Matt as your Car specialist read more

I was told for years as an employee of this Vons about the dishonest practices of this credit union but I banked here anyway - wish I would have listened. Now they are changing their name from Vons Employees Federal Credit Union to Certified Federal. Ask yourself what company with a GOOD reputation decides to rebrand and change their name? There are much better choices for a financial institution. You've been warned. read more

I have been a long time customer of VCU and have always gotten great service. Today I called the customer service line for some info and spoke to a wonderful rep. Her name was Marinda M. Marinda (hopefully the spelling is correct) was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and didn't rush me off the phone. I give Marinda 5 stars out of 5. VCU you have a wonderful employee. Debbie S. read more

What I love about this place are the people and their level of attention to their clients. They make we feel welcome from the start with a bank guard that always have a smile and positive energy to greet you and hod the door open. Every time I visit, there are at least 3 window tellers open. If there is a long line, you will see more windows open and people behind their desks are up and about directing traffic. Overall, they emit an "old country bank" feeling and a sense of security and family. read more

Worst bank ever!!!!! Been a member for over 20 years doesn't mean anything to them. A lot of new customer service representatives who are unprofessional your on hold forever. Curtesy pay not very friendly and in the loan department Milla and her boss are very strict about giving out loans. I use to love this bank but not anymore it's really disappointing. read more

Just started a new credit here in July and they have been nothing but the great with helping getting a new car on my own. I came in looking for a specific car and that's exactly the deal I wanted. Great people all around very helpful. read more

Vons Credit Union - 2013 Honda Accord :) - Banks & Credit Unions Near Me - El Monte, California

My husband and I visited this branch on 4/26 and where helped by Lorena. She made our day since we were traveling in LA and looking for a shared branch to get quarter rolls for meters for our next trip to Little Tokyo. We where not sure if this branch did share branching since it was not in our Patelco site as a shared branch location. She not only confirmed we could process our transaction, she provided us great service with a smile. My husband and I have been in the banking industry for many yrs and she exceeded our expectations. She kept us engaged in the conversation while multi-tasking and focusing on the task at hand. The branch was very clean and designed beautifully. We will definitely visit this branch on our next trip to LA. THANK YOU Lorena for the great service and for making our day! read more

Literally the worst bank I've ever had! They never have anyone available to help you unless its during their business hours and its totally inconvenient. The bank personals are extremely rude and so unhelpful and I will provide proff of that as I've sent multiple emails to the company because I want the account closed. Well they took all my information over email and never closed the account I'm still getting mail from them. read more

I have been with Vons Credit Union (now Certified Federal Credit Union) for almost 25 years now. They have been great to me over the years, but now what really makes me want to stay with this Credit Union for another 25 years is how they took care of me and my family during this pandemic. Debbie Hatley in the mortgage department was so kind and empathetic to us when my wife and I were not working. She was able to prorate our mortgage payments and reassured us that we will be ok. She is even helping us with a refinance to lower our payments. Thank you Debbie for all your help in such an unprecedented time. read more

My experience with Auto Expert (Matt) and Vons Cedit Union (Luis) has made my life a lot easier. They have helped me through some rough patches...they are people that will put in time and effort to help you find the right car and get you unbeatable prices. Highly recommend their services and consideration they offer. Recently bought a jeep from Auto Expert they took care of everything for me. Overall these guys should be commended for what they do for customers like me. I rate them a 10 and some! read more

Nayely Fernandez is a loan officer with the Vons Credit Union! (626-444-1972 ext. 275.) She went above and beyond to help me with my car loan. I was under pressure to get a car quickly because mine was totaled. She was so friendly and knowledgeable and set me up with a pre approved loan so fast! Then when I decided on a lease, she was kind enough to tell me about the Auto Expert, a free service they offer to do all the leg work to get you the best deal and deliver it to the closest credit union or right to your front door(as in my case!) Great experience! I am so grateful for Nayely's efforts!! She took a lot of stress off my plate! Thank you! Patty Moran read more

So glad to finally get my money out of this credit union. Been waiting 10+ days for my account to be closed. Fax a form and your ID they say. No call and account still open. It's like they are waiting for something to post to the account to charge fees. Vons Credit Union needs to close down. Shitty service, long waits on hold. Managers and supervisors are in a lot of meetings and it's still ran like shit. read more

This past year I've been wanting to get a new car. And after several months of being indecisive, I was unfortunately coerced into the prospect when I got into an accident with my current vehicle. 10 years ago, I financed my Nissan Frontier with Vons Credit Union so I thought it only natural to do the same this time around. I went to the branch in El Monte and met with Tina Ramirez to work out the details of the loan. Once it was approved, she connected me with Matt Fong who went right to work at searching for cars that were in my price range and specifications. Both of them were incredibly helpful. And when Matt found the car I wanted, I immediately jumped on it. He arranged to have the car delivered to the branch and the following day I went in to pick it. All the paperwork was laid out for me and I drove off with my Subaru Outback that same day. The whole process was incredibly simple and I appreciate the work that Matt did in finding the vehicle for me. Once again, I would like to emphasize the whole car buying process was super easy. No haggling with dealers. No going to multiple dealerships to find the best pricing. Autoexpert has the best pricing. I would totally recommend buying a new vehicle through Vons Credit Union to anyone. read more

Vons Credit Union - Banks & Credit Unions Near Me - El Monte, California

If you have any decent options, avoid this bank. Most unprofessional bank staff I've ever dealt with. Terrible attitudes.

I had one of the best experiences with this Credit Union. In the past I have worked with other banks regarding my real estate inquiries and have never received the type of service this department gave, hands down the best. I was taken care of from start to finish and they made me feel so comfortable with all the questions I had. Most definitely will continue to use them and recommend them to others! Huge shout out to Koko, Angie Saldana, Marilyn Morrison and Ruby Chacon. You all are such a great team and helped me out so much! This establishment is so lucky to have you all working for them! read more

Just save yourself the time even thinking about VECU. Go to Mission Federal instead. I bank at both and just dont know why I havent closed my account there. Mission Federal offers so much more. I lost a debit card with Mission Fed. --They printed a new one at the branch and were apologetic for my circumstances. Done in 15 min. Debit card stolen with VECU. --They said they were sorry and told me there was a six dollar replacement fee. The small gestures add up folks. read more
