How long have you banked with them?: Only a couple of months. I moved my retirement savings from a big bank cause they never seemed able to give me a break, despite 20+ years of banking there. The big banks are in the news with a lot of rate fixing scandals lately. Lately they are screwing us majorly by not passing on the Bank of Canada rate reductions.
Why do you bank with them?: They came out first in a Financial Post interest rate comparison. I live in BC and was a little bit worried to send my $$ so far, but I could be realistic and consider them a credit union like all the ones we have and besides I'm comfortable with virtual banking. I'd been wanting to move to a credit union for a while. Every $ you spend is a vote for the kind of world you want to live in.
What do you like about this bank / credit union?: They are very prompt, friendly and personable.
What could be improved about this bank / credit union?: I would like to see them get more customers and take all the big banks' customers away.
General comments: Time for change!

What do you like about this bank / credit union?: Fantastic customer service. They answer the phone quickly and always answer my questions. Fairly easy to setup electronic transfers through other banks, wish AF had a way to do this from their end.
What could be improved about this bank / credit union?: Lower fees, they charge $1 per transfer out after 1 free. You must send a connected account agreement for joint holders to see each others accounts which seems a little strange.
