I have been a member for about a decade, one of the best financial decisions I made was electing to be a Member of MFCU, the staff are friendly, helpful and do their best to see your experience goes smoothly (with what is in their abilities) choosing MFCU is more than just opening a bank account. It has been a pleasure watching MFCU grow over the years and exciting to whatch the on going transformations with it's members in mind. Thank you to the team an staff at MFCU also (hey neighbor thanks for being a member too because all of us together is what makes MFCU possible) MFCU: A Credit Union worth mentioning!
