AgFed Member Voices

I opened my only son first savings account with AgFed when he was 16 years old and today he is 31 years old and still uses the same account for his direct deposit and other financial needs. He has never even considered or asked about changing his banking with AFCU. I have been a member with AFCU for over 30 years, since my first Government job with Department of Agriculture. Even though I have moved on to other government agencies, I still keep my AFCU accounts. I have had personal loans, auto loans, credit cards and line of credit accounts. Currently I still have my direct deposit, credit card and line of credit account. AFCU has met all my financial needs with ease for all 3 decades. I'm sure to be a lifetime member.

My response to your invitation: "Member Voices Contest--We want to hear your story!" A.G.F.E.D.: Ah! Generations of Faces Emitting Delight is the graphic acronym I perceive in your promo invitation image. Visually, I see there are 40 faces: old and young; men and women; many nationalities; many ethnicities; many races, and all with smiles! Agreed: AgFed, you are A Gift For Every Day! Banks can be so daunting, but AgFed is so deliverable! Loan agents have been listening, gracious, non-threatening, reasoning and openminded, especially when it came to cases when I inadvertently overdrew in my accounts. Facing my shortcomings in such matters, AgFed agents professionally and politely guided me through "my dilemmas" encouragingly. There was a golden such one who counseled me through a tough financial strain I experienced ten years ago. And by her wise guidance, I have risen above that financial woe ever since. I have been a member for more than 30 years. Life can engulf one with much in such a period of time. For me: Moves, Auto purchases, Promotions, Loss of loved ones, Loss of home, Published works, Retirement. Expansion, mobility, sadness, and successes can describe, as well, in each of those cases. AgFed was there to support me, each time by lending a caring helping hand, keeping me moving forward, and rejoicing with me as i celebrated. Thank you, again, AGFED, for indeed, you are A Great Financial Entity with Doors!

I became a member when working for Dept. of Agriculture in 2012. When I applied for a second chance auto loan, Ms. Barbara was the manager. She was very professional and knowledge. The process was quick and painless. My experience at the branch located at 355 E St S.W. was unique from any other credit union that had encountered. The branch is bright and has an open door policy. Once you enter you are greeted and I always got a warm smile and a friendly hello. Since then, I have encountered some unfortunate life challenges and my account was sent to collections. Brad in Collections was also understanding and addressed my concerns with compassion. As of today my account is nearly back to good standing. Thanks to the kind and compassionate employees at the Agriculture Fed CU.

Agriculture Federal Credit Union has been a reliable source for many years to help me during good and hardship times. I've been a member for over forty years and am forever grateful. With your assistance, I was able to purchase my first new car back in 1969; was approved for a loan to purchase my home. 1st savings accounts were opened for my children to teach them about economics; and during hardship times, an equity loan was provided and paid off in 5 yrs. I am forever grateful for their service. Thanks AGFCU
