Pros: Customer Service
Online banking is a snap
Cons: No walk in branches or drive throughs in Tacoma- ATMs only
Summary: I have banked with many banks over the years and my experience ranged from no opinion to pure hatred. The hidden fees, approving debits when you are already overdrafted, then charging exhorbitant rates- All unbelievable. Then trying to talk to an actual ... read more

Cons: small company with too many customers, extremely poor response to issues

Pros: Still has true free checking...for now. Lots of small branches, but limited functionality.
Cons: Don't give the great rates advertised. Rising Fees. No longer competitive. Turning into for-profit bank.
Summary: I have used BECU for loans, checking, savings, etc. for years. But recently I have found that regular banks are easily outdoing Boeing with regards to financing. Chase Manhattan, Bank of America, Washington Mutual, etc. have offered much better ... read more

Pros: Easy to apply, quick response time, and otherwise entirely hassle-free!
Cons: I couldn't pay for the car in cash.
Summary: I'm a financial rookie. When I began the dreaded search for a new car several weeks ago (dreaded only because of the requisite search; I'm not complaining about the car), I cringed at the thought of having to finance it. I'm probably about as ... read more

Pros: For banking...you can't ask for much more!
Cons: only available to Boeing Employees/Relatives
Summary: I used to switch from bank to bank. At least once a year i'd be on the prowl for a bank that wouldn't charge me to be a valued customer. My mother (who is a boeing employee) kept telling me "get an account at BECU...it's so much better" well ... read more

Pros: Great interest, service, and perks.
