“More than once, SFCU helped me on my financial journey when other banks and credit unions wouldn’t. Also, good interest rates, good customer service and convenience, benefits go to the members instead of just bank executives and the super wealthy.”

“Stanford FCU doesn’t have a lot of fees to reduce or waive, because we barely charge any fees. And we don’t usually offer special rates, because our everyday rates are already amazing.”
