Patelco Credit Union

"Worked with Izabella here to get a personal loan for debt consolidation! She was extremely helpful on answering all my questions. My loan was submitted and approved within the hour and money in my bank account within 2 hours! Excellent service and would highly recommend Patelco. Also, a huge shout out to Kristine, who helped me set up my Patelco account earlier this year. Credit unions are the way to go, stop telling yourself they aren't. Head to the Campbell branch today!"

"Their customer service is horrible. On Friday at noon they had one teller working with three people standing in line while three "officers" sat looking at their computers. Wait time, four minutes. Apparently they can't be bothered to get up and open up another window. This isn't the first time this has happened. Next time will be the last time. I wouldn't recommend this financial institution to anyone."

"Love Patelco!! Been a customer since 1999. Super value and service!"

"There is always a line here and only one maybe two tellers working. Patelco has four teller stations but they never use all of them. According to there branch management that is the way they do things. Not customer friendly and ask too many personal questions and never smile. They don't make it easy to do business with. Bank somewhere else."

"I typically encounter enjoyable staff members here, but today I had to reset my online account (due to annoyingly difficult hours for their help line, but that's another story). I am accustomed to a lower level of customer courtesy and respect due to the large stamp on my forehead that reads "Millenial," (despite the fact that I am indeed a working professional), but only to a certain extent. First off, I waited approximately two minutes (with no line whatsoever) while the only clerk at the counter finished a personal phone call (I know so because she said "bye Mom." I'm all for family values, but there are lots of other times and places for that). The Filipino employee she referred me to was curt and hintingly condescending. She cut me off several times with unprofessional one-worded interjections. I asked for a printout of my statement, and she said to just print it out from my online account. I insisted she print it out then and there since I already had to make such an unpleasant trip. The only reason this is not a 1-star review is because I usually bank with a very friendly African-American gentleman at the counter. Unfortunately, today he was not working. Overall, nearly fed up with this FCU as a whole, but the experience at this branch was particularly irksome and review-worthy."
