Would not recommend because money frequently missing, debiting wrong accounts, Multiple blocks on savings account.Money taken from disability account etc. Must count your money at the window due to history of withdrawal amount being transposed.(example instead of 73 given 37).Request that Auditors name be posted inside for customer request due to requested audit no information given and no audit performed.
Would you recommend 1st Choice Credit Union to others? No
