Loyal customer Bank First - give it a try

I have been with Bank first for many years, signed up when I was teaching, now retired. I use it purely now as a savings account for special things like Christmas, holidays etc. Always go online and as an older person who is sometimes technologically challenged, I find this bank online system very easy to navigate ( especially for depositing funds and transferring to other accounts).

Longevity can have its advantages.

I have been a member of Bank First, " when it was the Victoria teachers Credit Union ", since I was 18 yrs old ( I'm now 60 ). How's that for client/member longevity. Though I haven't received the greatest " whiz-bang, you beauty " interest rate on any of my accounts, only a few there-in; it's the personalised, friendly service I receive every time I email or call them about an issue, regardless of what that issue may be. Shopping around for the best interest deals / banking service is a good concept & should be used occasionally to see what is out there. But doing it on a daily, weekly or monthly basis can be a pain, & you could often find the bank you just switched from, might've offered a deal that would've beaten all others " hands down ", had you just enquired with them first. Time saved, can often be, money saved too.

Worth a try

We have been with them for the last 30 years...travelling and working overseas. They never missed a bit in arranging loans and paper works for us. The only thing is the bank charges for Visa Card doing a foreign transaction. Apart from that all is good with them.

Banking, ancillary & customer services are great!

Been with Bank First for 40+ years, I’ve used many of their accounts/products as well as their ancillary products (travel/insurance) The service has been exemplary in all banking type products as well as the ancillary products that I have used. I appreciate the relationship established by staff and the customer service they provide. The staff follow up when needed has been excellent While travelling overseas as well as having a son living in Northern America for the last 15years, their convenient services and adaptability with such matters has certainly made life easier.
