I have accounts with this bank and I’m very disappointed. No one at this particular branch on east Main Street is there to help you. In fact the teller even shared wrong info about my account. Will be moving my accounts very soon. Customer service is the worse I have ever experienced as far as a bank goes!!!!

Amazed by the fantastic experience every single visit. I should have made the switch years ago! All of the staff are great but Trista is my favorite. She should get extra gold stars! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

I've been with this credit union for well over 12 years and I enjoy how they are always friendly and readily available to offer any assistance I may need. Each time I come into the location, they tell me what new services or accounts may be available to me and anything else I can do to be approved for a particular type of loan in which I may be interested . The ladies here are friendly and, above all, courteous! I appreciate this from my financial institution.

After a year of having the account, a fraudulent charge appeared for a mere $20, but the bank could not do anything to rectify this. It's about principal. Turns out, Founders is not FDIC insured. I have removed my money from the account and closed it. I advise everyone stay away from Founders, and go to an FDIC insured bank. Founders cannot protect you from fraudulent activity or protect your investments. Don't take chances!
