Have been with them since they were downtown in the Tribune Towers. Over 25 years. Always received excellent customer service. Now they are closer to me on Wolcott. One bus there and back. They just have a low interest rate. Very satisfied with the service.

I am posting this review on the basis of the excellent & attentive service that I received from your teller, Robin @ the Credit Union 1 located on 828 S. Wolcott Ave. in Chicago. She was very professional, friendly & extremely helpful. She also went above & beyond with helping me sort out a Zelle issue on my app. She helped me with this issue in less than 5 mins. & I couldn’t even get that help from your support team which I’m still waiting on their call which was roughly 5 months ago. Robin was a delight, joy & refreshing. You guys should strive to hire people like that going forward. 5 star review for a 5 star teller, thanks Robin
