I EXPLAINED TO GIAN THAT I DIDN'T WANT A HARD INQUIRY IF I DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR THE CREDIT BUILDER LOAN. AFTER TELLING ME THAT MY SCORE WAS GOOD ENOUGH TO GET THE LOAN, I WAS STILL DENIED. THAT'S VERY FRUSTRATING, SINCE THE CREDIT BUILDER LOAN WOULD HAVE HELPED ME PAY OFF MY CREDIT CARDS TO REDUCE MY DEBT TO INCOME RATIO.

Do not use their Atm machine i have a instant pay card and and I had 40 left from my employer on the card I tried to use their atm by requesting fast cash 40 it did NOT give me the money but only the receipt that I withdrew 40 In which was incorrect This machine is faulty, Old and not working properly the tellers will not help you if.you do not have an account with them, I have to call instant pay to dispute the transaction in which could take up to 90days for a response. This machine steals your money and the tellers won't even put a out of order sign on it, the guy in front of me tried also using fast cash and it.took 60 from him and never gave him the money and he was told by the teller if he didn't leave they would call the police when actually they are the thefts, do not use Buckeye credit union atm machine or you may.have.an issue too with them stealing your money.

The level of professionalism, expertise, and genuine care shown by the manager and staff at this location is truly exceptional. Bryan went above and beyond to assist me with my banking needs, & also explained my options; making the process seamless and stress-free. I now recommend this location to my family and friends because of how I was treated by the tellers & staff.

Excellent experience here. Branch manager took my personal situation into account and did everything he could to help get me approved. More of personal experience than a big name bank, Everyone there is always extremely friendly and and the (branch manager Brandon) and (Deshawn financial consultant) got me in and out as fast as possible with my paperwork highly recommend this place.

The auto loan department manager helped me refinance my car at a much lower rate. She was very knowledgeable and prompt with every question I had. It was an easy process. Wonderful service.
