I feel my money is safe, the service has always been top-notch and we've found it easy to use even though I probably haven't set foot in one of the branches in five years. Joining the credit union is one of the smartest things I've done.

- John · Reston, VA

Every experience with USSFCU has been extremely good right from the start. Our main account with USSFCU is a HELOC with zero over prime rate, which is almost unheard of. The customer service has always been excellent. And when we asked for a temporary payment break to navigate and reorient professionally due to the sudden and temporary financial im...

- Adrienne · Wethersfield, CT

The credit union provides relatively good services and the security updates to the system are noticeable.

- Ophelia · Alexandria, VA

It took a matter of minutes to open the account and purchase a CD. The credit union that I have done business with for about 40 years took more than a week to close a joint account and transfer the funds to a new account when my husband died.

- Linda · Powder Springs, GA

- Charles · Alexandria

Always good service, especially when I telephone in. I have another credit union where, every time I call in, I have to wait a considerable amount of time before reaching a representative. When I worked on the Hill, it always was a pleasurable experience coming to the credit union office, whether to make a deposit or apply for a loan.

- Charles · Takoma Park, MD

Customer service via the phone is very helpful and easy to accomplish requests.

- Clarke · Alexandria, VA

Care about their clients and concerned about making sure they have the best rates and packages.
