Brewery Credit Union

Alright so here's solutions for those who left horrible reviews. They're not intended to be rude per se, but they are intended to take the blame off of Brewery, because this credit union hasn't been anything but wonderful! No, I don't work for them, its just that with all they have done for me, I owe them this kind of review! Lynette, its called internet. Go online, login with your credentials, and it will show you your balance each and every time, without fail. Also, inconvenient is relative. They may be inconvenient for you, but other people, like myself, do not find the locations inconvenient. There's one smack in the center of the city (Northeast), and one on the south side of the city in Bay View (Southeast), a co-op center on 60th and Layton (Southwest side of the city) and one around 70th and Brown Deer Rd (Northwest side of the city), not to mention the other credit unions that are part of the co-op that I don't even know about. So I fail to see the inconvenience. There is literally a location to give you access of some or all sorts in each corner of the city? How are the locations inconvenient? Dan, don't go to MLK then if you know that you won't have success there. There's another location and 2 co-op centers. Go there...I've personally never had an issue at MLK or Bay View, but that's just me. Ace, I feel bad for you...if that happened, your pain is legitimate. Tia, just because people who are worse off than yourself bank there does not make this credit union, as you so professionally put it (sarcasm, obviously), "ghetto". Notice the irony? Google User, run your debit as credit and you won't have that issue. You don't need cash to buy groceries, that's why they provide you a Visa. Run it as credit instead of debit and you'll be fine. If you don't know how to do that, ask the cashier...in time, you'll know how to do it on your own, without help. Now, time for MY review. I absolutely LOVE Brewery. I have been with them for almost 3 years, started out with a checking account, at which, they worked with me, despite being in Chex Systems. 3 months later, they refinanced a high interest loan for me from Franklin Finance and saved me a good 12% or so, which translated to about $50 less per month, which gave me the flexibility to have that $50 extra go toward my actual loan instead of interest, if I chose. In addition, in this new payment, a protection plan was included that makes my payments for me in the event of involuntary unemployment, disability, or death. No other place offered me that kind of protection and/or peace of mind in such horrific events, as a means to make such horrific events a little less horrible. When I got laid off, that protection helped me immensely as I was getting back on my feet. I since paid that loan off in 3/2017. Two months later, they helped me with a new car loan when other lenders probably wouldn't have even considered helping me. That same protection is on this new loan. I'm so thankful to this credit union for how they have helped me along every step of the way! Never shop anywhere else without first checking to see if Brewery offers what you need. Also, I want to offer a special shout-out to Fatima; she is the absolute best! I never felt this valued anywhere else...not Wells Fargo, not US Bank, and not even Chase. Thank you Brewery! Thomas -
