“I am not a School's member, but I am a Safe Credit Union member. Not only is this the most convenient drive-thru ATM, has great lighting at night which helps make me feel safe and because I am a member of a credit union I do not get those extra charges using a different bank.”
“This is the best credit union around Sacramento and I have had membership in many. I have now been with SchoolsFirst for over 20 years! Used to be Schools Federal Credit Union. Customer service is top notch. Always someone there to help you find answers to any of your questions. Employees always greet customers with a friendly smile and "hello". They even greet me by my first name which makes me feel really special. I recently encountered a situation where someone had hacked into my computer and I was concerned that the hacker may have gotten some of my financial information. SchoolsFirst customer service reps. worked and guided me through the steps needed to resolve that situation. The hacker, by the way, had not been able to get into my financial information. This branch goes out of their way to keep your account safe as well as walking you through most any financial issues you may be having. Thank you SFFCU for your great customer service!!”

“This credit union is so special. The staff are friendly and truly go out of their way to know you by name. I love the holiday festivities they do with staff and members like me and others get to vote. They are pet friendly and on my birthday, they gave me a chocolate bar with Happy Birthday on it. So many little things that make this branch so special. Most importantly, when I had a financial challenge, they were there for me. The partnership is one I truly value and cherish. Thank you Schools First for trusting me & building something for my generations to come. Ps Marissa is a God given blessing!”
“Thank you to Christian Rios and Mr Marcus the manager for helping me Christmas Eve 2025 really appreciate you both helping me with my account problems going to open my daughters bank account next month to teach her about money and saving and responsibility”
“Came in for a fairly simple issue needing resolution - handled it in the branch. Got a follow-up call a couple hours later from the rep who helped me making sure issue was resolved.”
“Had to go to this branch to handle a matter for my mother, who recently had a stroke. I was helped by Sue Wong, who had an abundance of professionalism and empathy in what was and still is an extremely stressful time for my family. I could tell what I needed was a tall ask for this particular bank but she did her absolute best to assist me.”
“I am absolutely amazed at the kindness, professionalism and customer service of Brenna and manager Sherri. Thank you for being awesome!! They accommodated my disabled husband. Thank you ladies. I really appreciate them😘”

“Went into safe credit union today and up one of the bankers named Amber very nice lady help me out. she was very knowledgeable about different products and services. This safe credit union offers.”
“Amazing staff I have three favorites that work they remember their customers and are fun to talk to the only downside is it has nothing to do with the staff is the ATMs put holds on your checks forever and sometimes the branch is not even open even though it's business hours”
“Thank you to Lovelace Taylor for making what seemed impossible - possible! I had to get a Girl Scout troop bank account established which isn’t an easy task. We went to Wells Fargo and had a terrible experience, walked out of there and called US bank on broadway. Lovelace got the job done and we are so grateful to him. He was also a very attentive host on top of his great banking skills. Bonus points that the building is a beautiful 100+ year old classic. Thank you, Lovelace!!!”
“Very helpful and courteous staff. Each one of you is amazing. They have 2 ATM machines that are located outside and are accessible 24/7.They do have small locker facility. The bank is business friendly and staff is very professional.”
“The best part of receiving good customer service is that you don’t know what the customer has been through in the day. When you go to a place of business you getting treated like an human being means a lot. The bank teller “TK” had awesome customer service and made me feel good by having patience and understanding. He took his time by waving the cost to cash a check to zero dollars. I know that i don’t have an account with this bank but me being treated so kindly makes me want to open an account with this bank. Thank you “TK” for the great experience of good customer service.”
“Open my account in 1980. They have always there when you need them. Polite, professional and confidential. Online access is wonderful when traveling. We have purchased 5 new cars and travel trailer and every purchase was efficient, no delays, easily accomplished with minutes.”
“Staff and security is amazing, I wish I recalled the gals name that was doing security, very kind.
Majida the loan officer made things extremely easy and was super accommodating. Wish this branch was closer to me!”
“This branch of Sacramento, credit union, have the greatest employees. They're nice. They're friendly. They're not phony, they smile when you come in, and they're always willing to help you. It's a great place. That's why I make the 5 mile drive all the way to Rancho Cordova.”
“Came in to deposit some coins only to realize I don’t have an actual checking account with Chase (only a CC). Despite this, the teller was both patient and courteous and helped exchange my coins without any issues. Excellent service and professionalism.”
“The Customer Service at Sacramento Credit Union is Excellent! I have been on the receiving end several times. The care taken along with very thorough corrections have been an absolute Blessing to me personally!!! The outstanding support, the immediate response, to some serious sensitive matters, provided much me with the needed peace of mind! Each employee, well advised in their department! I’ve held accounts with other banking institutions…only one other credit union held similar standards of Sacramento Credit Union. Keep up the GREAT SERVICE! You truly outshine the so-called popular credit unions! And Thank All of You, Again.”
“I went there to get money from the ATM and ended up going to the teller, as it was she told me where to find it for my next visit if I wanted it next time. I sat in a huge entry way with a soft couch where I can use the USB port outlet to charge my phone or work on my laptop maybe.”
“Love this branch!!! My first time visiting a branch since I live so far away. Was welcomed with open arms. The staff was super nice and attentive and knowledgeable about the products and services they offer. Greeter was attentive in directing me to the appropriate place and service rep offered me services I did not know about that would help me save and earn money. Awesome branch, Awesome staff, Awesome credit union. Just WOW!!!”
“Manny has been very helpful, whether it be a personal loan or Fraud protection. Manny has been there to help me with my banking needs.I'm glad he is on staff to help out.We have choices, I will be staying with Yri County bank”
“Jorje Macias "MADE" time for me from day 1 .. Even though he was busy, he has always called me back and put time aside for me to help me with all my small needs.. He has become the branch manager lately but still makes time to serve me as a personal banker..When all other banks that I went to pushed me into a long wait with rude service, F&M was there for me and helped me on the spot.. They gave me free checking and helped me build my credit at a very low rate.. F & M bank on Florin road is the best in the business”
“I’d like to thank Ms. Besma for her help on setting up my account, walking me through my digital wallet and ensuring that I have the new account opening incentive.”
“Thank you to Bruce for being so patient and very kind. When cashing my check I had a few issues. But that didn’t stop him from getting the job done. I was satisfied with his ability to provide extraordinary service. I appreciate you Bruce?
BTW! The downtown location is no longer there for those who didn’t know bc I didn’t.”
“I've been with first northern about 10 years now,since 7th and jst. Location.These people have outstanding customer service,they always know my name even when I call,I get an actual human being! And I've never even felt like it's a bank,just a really friendly and comfortable place i go.”
“I rarely post reviews but this time I genuinely want to give a shoutout to the staff at this surprisingly small semi-hidden location inside a Safeway. I was having kind of a rough day but the cashier (whose name I did not get) and Angela M. —branch manager— were helpful. Angela was very transparent and resourceful. Although my issue could not be resolved right then and there, Angela offered me her contact information to follow up on my request next week. Great customer service. Thank you, girls!”
“I like the location of this bank and the fact that I get to practice my Russian with the friendly ladies inside. They also have a coffee machine & always a smile”
“Great service. Met with an officer who paatiently and kindly walked me through the consequences of a scam. I was not rushed. He didn't "talk down" to me; he explained everything I wanted and needed to know and then pointed out other ways that I could maximize my experience with Patelco. My meeting with him re-confirmed my satisfaction with Patelco. Thanks so much.”
“I LOVE this Bank ! They are extremely joyful & they greet you the moment you walk in they make you feel like KINGS & QUEENS. I'm proud that I gave up on Chase & Wells Fargo Bank to have Schools First Federal Credit Union Bank as my one & only. They can do just as those two Banks & more. Best place to Bank with.They get 10⭐ not 5⭐!!”
