- CCChanita CarsonSep 2, 20251.0Warning!! Do not bank with this company! I'm literally in a different country and they don't want to return money to me that was credited from another company. Even after sending the email and proof that the merchant returned the money on their end Patelco is trying to neglect following through on their end. I even called the merchant to double check and verify. This banking service is a scam. Go anywhere else, especially if traveling overseas. They're not reliable and there customer service isn't available internationally. Terrible. No wonder you all have pending lawsuits against your company. The worst.
- HCHoney CaliQueenMay 24, 20231.0No parking. It is only convenient for Berkeley residents who are walking distance to Patelco. Too congested and the street is blocked off. The location is nearly impossible to get to unless you live a few blocks away from Patelco.
- NRNari RheeMay 13, 20215.0A good credit union, great rates and low/no fees. All my customer service experiences with them have been positive. I love their updated mobile app, especially the mobile deposits.
- BCBrenda ChaoFeb 24, 20155.0Amazing! Everyone that works there were so nice to me and answered all my questions, they were patient with me and replied calmly even though i was a bit annoying. (I asked the same questions differently.) 😆 counted all my coins for me without giving me the 😒 hahaha love this place! 😊 all smiles there! And the main reason why i switched to this bank was because of the things i can do with this bank. EVERYTHING I DO IS FREE... for atm use, it's 6 transactions a month but if you go inside, it's Totally Free! Do anything inside, As many times as you wish. How awesome is that!? The wait isn't that long either!
- BIBryana IJul 25, 20141.0I found them VERY difficult to deal with. Good thing I didn't close the account at my old bank.
