Our car loan was from CRCU in Texas, while we were in Portland, OR. We called CRCU, told them what we wanted, then gave the car dealer all the info. We had the loan in no time. We do believe in credit unions. I (Jerry) have been a credit union member since I was in high school, with a series of credit unions, depending on where we lived. I'll have to agree, though, that if your CU is giving you a hassle, it's time to move on.l Our experience with Community Resource has been nothing but successful.

There are many branches in the mid west and west. When we have a check to deposit and there are no wells fargos around we just send it to there lock box in Oregon. Our account is credited usually within 3 or 4 days of mailing. They bought Wacovia so we are hoping they will add Wacovia to their list of banks we can use. We have been using them for 7 years and their customer service is great. We use Wells Fargo for both our business and personal checking account. There are many branches in the mid west and west.

My dad had 41 years of service with Humble Oil, then Exxon, when he retired. The Exxon Baytown Credit Union was our family's credit union and located near the Exxon refinery in Baytown, Texas, where my dad worked for so long. My parents faithfully attended the credit union's annual meetings every year, too. I joined as a legacy member, through my dad's membership. Years later, to expand beyond just Exxon employees, EBCU reached out to other membership groups and changed its name to Community Resource Credit Union. My husband and I bought several vehicles through the loan dept. at EBCU/CRCU. After a long time, It became quite a hassle, from our Houston home, to continue to drive to Baytown to do this, but it was the family credit union, you know? The breaking point for me was getting a better deal at a neighborhood credit union just 10 minutes from my home with better service than returning to our old family credit union going back several decades. If a credit union isn't loyal to its membership, then there's no reason for a member to remain with it. Moving on....Now we use Pentagon Federal Credit Union. It is outstanding, and I recommend it highly. If you are active or retired military, or you have a close relative who fits that category, or if you meet some other standards for membership, or, even just pay a separate fee to join, it is a great credit union. My brother is active military, so I joined PenFed through his military service about a year ago. I love 'em. Beats the heck out of Community Resource Credit Union, too! So, the next time you look for a credit union, you might want to check out PenFed at www.penfed.org. I don't work for them, but I am a happy customer there! Hey, Nick.
