      The fact there is only one branch in Central is a disadvantage but the online web banker is very good and I use this everyday. I think the loan component I use is very competitive. Though I intend to do my homework so I am getting best rate. The insurances through CUA I rate as expensive so don't use them. I don't go into the branch very often but when I do the service is good.

      The staff at the local branch are extremely helpful and considerate of their customers. There is nothing that is too much trouble for them. On top of that I have never walked into the branch without receiving smiles from all the staff - it makes one feel that your custom is wanted and appreciated.

      I have had a CUA account since I started working at 15 which was 12 years ago. This account has been the best ever. I have never been charged transaction fees, I have been able to understand every call i have ever had to make regarding my bank with staff speaking fluent english. I even recommended my partner to get his car loan through CUA. There were never any fees involved and the ladies in the Penrith branch were extremely helpful. The best customer service from any bank I have delt with. They are by far the friendliest and most understanding for what it is you require. I will never leave CUA for my bank account, it's just been so easy with them. No hassles what so ever.

      Although branches are not available in smaller townships, banking, both withdrawal and deposit can be done at any post office. I have been with Credit Union for decades and had car loans, house loans, debit cards and normal banking services. They were only small when I commenced banking with them, and was a post office employee but they have expanded and would recommend both the friendly staff and answers to any questions you have most hightly. I began using them when the NAB would not advance us $20,000 to finish building our house and insisted we go through Custom Credit with an horrendus interest rate in 1981. I would not bank anywhere else.

      I once used their "Ask the CEO a question" facility on the website, and received an answer from him the next morning. Amazing. No account keeping fees, just the normal EFTPOS fees - 60c for the Credit option. And if Woollies hadn't removed the Savings button choice, forcing me to use the Credit option, I wouldn't have any fees at all.

      CUA is by far the best bank I have ever experienced. The branches themselves are comfortable, you never have to wait in line, and you just get the impression they are not in the game solely for a huge profit - that they want to help their members too. Always friendly, good options for savings accounts and a distinct absence of fees! It almost sounds like I work for them, but I definitely don't! Friends got me onto them a few years ago and I have never looked back. I would never change banks now.

      Banks have become very choosy over who they give loans to and people like myself are somewhat discriminated against because we do not have a job, however still recieving an income (pension). I have been a loyal customer through this bank and have paid off a loan through them before and for the majority of the loan i was unemployed little to their knowledge and still managed to pay off this loan ahead of time. They do not ask enough questions and are not loyal to those loyal to them.

      This really is one of the most professional and friendly financial institutions i have ever had the pleasure to deal with .Been with for a number of years and have NEVER had any issues with them .Why is it so difficult for other banks to operate like, this and still maintain a healthy profit margin? Finding ATMs were a bit of an issue in the past ,but this ceased to be a problem once they aligned with the National Bank. Interesting how i rarely see an ad for CUA. Seems only the most disreputable ,keep telling us how wonderful they are!Highly recommend this institution and for veracity of my comments , i declare that neither i or my family have any connection to CUA ,other than to hold an account there.
