I have ZERO bad to say about CFECU.. As a matter of fact, these folks and this Credit Union are straight rock stars! πͺπΌ If a different credit union or bank told me they'd give me free donuts and back rubs for a solid year if I'd just switch and join them, I'd tell em to kick rocks. It's a straight pleasure doing business with these kind folks. I can't even begin to give an explanation of what all this establishment has done for me or people would think I'm literally lying, and some may even get jealous... I can't thank Mark, Casey and Kim enough for what they have done for both me and my family..... Straight rock stars. God bless CFECU π«΅πΌπͺπΌ

Never had a bad experience after beeing a member 8+years until I applied for a loan which I got denied but they left a number for me to call if I had a concern after I was denied. No response No Call back. I hate that part. Very Confused

Ms. Kim is an absolute rockstar! She made BOTH of my vehicle purchases so easy, timely, and I am amazed at not only her attention to detail, but flexibility in completing my requests. The entire staff here is amazing, from the front line staff to the CEO, Mark Fraker. I could not be any more satisfied in doing business with this credit union, and I will choose them over any bank, any day, hands down! Thank you CFECU for everything you do for me!

Great little gem of a credit union in Chattanooga. Gave me a chance with financing when the larger lenders wouldn't. Actually sincerely care about customers. A year ago I gave a poor review in regards to an issue, but was corrected. I finally figured out how to change my review. I do highly recommend them. Give them a chance!

This is the absolute best credit union I have ever used!!! The rates are the absolute best in the area hands down!! They treat you like family and not just a number!! The employees really care about their members and you can tell. I really find it hard to believe that some of the reviews are bad about this credit union because they really do whatever they can to help people! Obviously, they can't help everyone, every time because they have their limits and guidelines they have to follow. I can assure you if they can they will!! I love this credit union. I can honestly say this is a credit union that looks at the whole picture and not just a number on a report. I will never use any other bank for a car loan, or home loan. If you have a bad experience ever then talk to someone there. Everyone there is willing to talk to you about your concerns and needs.
