"Anna the Manager for the [Glendale] Branch, was very helpful when we spoke with her last week. We waited only a few minutes before she came to the reception area to speak with my sister and me, and she listened intently as we shared with her the situation we came to discuss. Even though it was near closing time she never appeared distracted or unconcerned, and she helped as much as she could with the issue at hand. Thank you for having a [branch] manager of her caliber and conscientious attitude. She made us feel valued and respected."

"I'd like to pass on a great customer service person who helped me today...Emily. I had a problem with transferring funds from my 401k to my AFCU checking account as my broker had place a temp hold on a rollover check. As I had already written checks for various first of the month bills my overdraft account would not be sufficient to pay all the checks. Emily worked a temporary increase in my overdraft personal loan to cover these checks until the rollover check was cleared. Emily was excellent and very professional as well as courteous in her assistance and did an outstanding job in solving my problem immediately. She was excellent in all aspects of the transaction...and a pleasure to speak with. As the Navy would say, Bravo Zulu to Emily."

"I was having a really hard time getting financed for a new auto loan. I had applied for numerous auto loans and got denied every time. I have been with AZ Federal for the past 5 years and love them. So after trying for a few weeks I decided to call the Members Auto Center to see if they could help me. I spoke with a gentleman by the name of Toby, from the Gilbert, AZ branch. Toby was a God send, he was able to help me trade in my car for a newer car and get a great interest rate. I just wanted to say thank you and that I would recommend AZ Federal to anyone."

" My wife had been banking at wells fargo for over ten years. We tried to refinance our car with them, and they turned us down for no clear reason. When we called to get the reasons why, they too had nothing to say. I told her about AZFCU where I had been a member. We transferred all our accounts here, and after two months, we applied for refinance and were approved, saving 5-8,000 on interest over the maturity of the loan! The person who wrote us up was very friendly, and also let us know that if our credit offers us a lower interest rate at any time, they will adjust the payments accordingly. We are both extremely happy with AZFCU and plan to do all our business there. "

"When I first opened my account with AZ Federal, all of the materials were in tiny print. The only thing I really had a problem with was the Touch Tone 24 Instructions. The card was so hard to read. A teller at my local branch who's name also happens to be Cindy, went above and beyond. She took the little card I showed her and she blew it up on the copy machine to something I could see! I really appreciate that and they've always been kind and patient in explaining the things on the reciepts I cannot see."

- C. Hill from Phoenix, AZ

"I just want to thank you for giving me a fresh start financially. I was divorced in the year 2000 and moved to Arizona to make a new start, and shortly after moving to the city I discovered someone had put over $3,000.00 of fraud items in my name. I worked with the credit bureaus for several years to get my report cleared and some items I was still fighting to have taken off of my credit report along with health challenges as well. A friend told me to try joining the Arizona Federal Credit Union that would probably give me the help I needed, so I did join, and I've been more than satisfied with the gracious service I've received from the AZFCU, and I pray you will have an abundance of shareholders and over the top financial return in 2008. God Bless You All!"

"Staff at AZFCU has been very friendly every time I had made a payment or simply had a question about my account. In addition I would like to thank everyone for making business run much more faster and smoothly. I plan on staying with AFCU and will also recommend friends and family to join this amazing credit union. Thank you for making everything much easier!"

"Summer of 2007 AFCU came through for me [and] for my home renovation. The manager gave me an advance, as I was in Home Depot, with limited time off from work and just one week for our 4th of July vacation to San Francisco. When we returned from vacation our home was brand new. Thanks AFCU over and Over!!!!"

- L. Neztsosie from Sanders, AZ

"I would like to thank the AZFCU Tucson staff for always being friendly and remembering me when I come in, even for a small deposit. I would also like to thank Corinna and Yohanna at the Broadway branch for always finding a solution when I want to borrow money. I recently found a unique vehicle I wanted to purchase, I negotiated a price and went into the branch. I explained the situation to Corinna and that the car's price was firm, but it was in Florida and I had 3 days to get the money and pick up the car. My career choice doesn't allow many holidays or vacations so we all found a solution and started putting things together. This was Tuesday, and I was leaving Friday morning. I really was in a pinch for time but Corinna and Yohanna stayed in communication with the buyer in Florida and I, all the way through. It wasn't easy making something like this happen, but I am grateful to meet such professional people that know all aspects of their job and perform to the top of their abilities. By, Thursday afternoon I had a cashier's check in hand, and my wife and I were on our way Friday morning to Florida to pick up the car. Thank you Corinna and Yohanna for making it happen. We now own our London Taxi and are happy as clams."

"I was an 18 y/o wanting to build credit. The representative gave me a guideline with timeframes. I was able to purchase my first vehicle WITHOUT a cosigner, because I was educated. I couldn't have asked for a better credit union, and I've referred most if not all of my serious friends to join. "

- A. Moran from Laveen, AZ

"Arizona Federal is the best bank I have ever dealt with. [Their] customer service is wonderful. Whenever I have had a problem they are right off the bat apologetic no matter who is the one that messed up. I have been with them for almost 2 years and have only had 1 problem and it was addressed in the upmost professional manner. My fiance and I had fraud on our account, and they did everything they could to figure out what was going on [with] the account and returned all money that was taken. "

- R. Ludwig from Mesa, AZ

"My most favorite experience with [Arizona Federal] was the purchase of our vehicles thru [Members'] Auto Center. I HATE dealing with the salesmen at the lots. I told Chuck what I wanted, he found it, brought it in for me to drive, gave me the payments I needed. Signed the papers and it was delievered to my doorstep. SO PAINLESS. My husband bought his new truck the same way, NO HASSLES--NO DEALERS! Completely painless. Thanks guys ! I will never buy another vehicle except thru you!! "

- T. Batson from Mesa, AZ

"Ms. Dy Shockman at AZFCU Fiesta Mall was A+ customer service and reached the extra inch to secure my loan for me. I am very grateful for her help and will continue my banking for years and years to come. So next up should be a Home loan!"

- T. Rodriguez from Mesa, AZ

"I've opened several accounts with the credit union, and I have found the staff very efficient, friendly and very helpful. I would not bank anywhere else. "

- L. Craven from Buckeye, AZ

"I first started banking at AZ Federal at the branch in Dobson Ranch. One time my husband was suppose to deposit his paycheck, but he put in the wrong checking account. We had over $200 in bank charges in the days before you could bank online. I told the story to the teller, and she forgave all of the charges because she knew me. Well, our family has been loyal to AZ Federal since that one act of kindness."

- C. McCarthy from Mesa, AZ

"I have never had a bad experience at Arizona Federal. I receive special treatment each time I visit, but obtaining a auto loan was refreshing. My husband and I had traded in his truck in June of 2006. We spent almost 7 hours at the dealership obtaining the financing and completing the paperwork.... Later that same year in October, I purchased my very first new car. We went to the credit union to obtain the financing. An hour later we were heading to the dealership with a check. About 2 hours after arriving at the dealership, I was driving away in my brand new Honda. I love driving my new car and everything about it. I feel I am paying a reasonable interest rate, [have] affordable monthly payments, and have the option of paying the loan off early without any penalties. I would never go through a dealership again for auto financing when I am a member of the greatest credit union in the state. "

- B. vonMoses from Glendale, AZ

"I purchased a vehicle through your [Members' Auto Center] and this was the best car purchase experience we ever had. I never went to a dealer and your representative followed through with everything he told me he would do. I highly recommend your service. He even called to check how everything was going! Thanks! "

"The credit union has been my main form of investment, checking, loans etc. since the 1970s. Not only for myself [but for] my family, sister, kids, aunts etc. My Glendale Branch has always been there for us during, deaths, weddings, [and] births. "
