SMCU takes a great deal of pride in being a business where people can get the banking services they need without the headache and greed that comes with having an account at a big national bank. As a member-owned financial cooperative, SMCU strives to ensure that our members get the best deal available on financial services. Does that difference in philosophy really make a difference in how our members view their financial institution? We’ll let them tell you in their own words.
“I joined SMCU 2 years ago when I moved to Seattle, and I have only good things to say about my experience. You guys pay better interest than any savings account or even CD you can find these days for small amounts of money, and I love being able to interact with friendly people at your branches. I can also use ATMs from BECU and other co-op network locations with no fees. We were even able to get a cashier’s check from a co-op network partner in San Francisco last year! And you got us a great rate on a car loan that was way better than what the dealer had given us. I’ve never had any surprise fees or unpleasantness, and I love using your website to pay my bills and manage my accounts. Thanks for being so great! I’m proud to be a member.” – Julia D.S.
“I absolutely love Seattle Metropolitan Credit Union and always have. I moved to Seattle in 2003 and opened my account with them soon after. When I have made a mistake, Seattle Metropolitan has been so forgiving and the people who work in the downtown branch are honestly the nicest people. I really don’t understand why anyone would want to continue to hold any kind of an account with a bank and that includes CHASE.” –Kelly
