I love banking with the UKFCU! Employees are always friendly and have the information I need quickly. Stopped in last weekend for a certified check and I appreciated the care that went into the transaction. Can't say enough nice things about my banking experiences with them!

I have always been a fan of UKFCU, which is why I still bank there after 30 years. Their staff is friendly and well-trained; they try to do what you need or suggest ideas; they have enough branches that I can go to one without much extra driving; their loan rates are low; their mobile app is easy to use.

I came in when UKFCU was about to close, but they were still very kind and diligent! It was my first time ever opening a bank account so I really appreciated how quickly and smoothly everything went. I even got to learn a little bit about credit! Most of all, I was anxious about creating a bank account because I kept telling myself it means I’m growing up and there’s no going back. However, the staff at UKFCU were kind and VERY friendly and helpful in every way. All my worries were gone in seconds (not kidding)! So, thank you very much for making my presumed scary experience wonderful!
