Santa Barbara Teachers Federal Credit Union La Colina Rd, Santa Barbara

I've been banking here for a few years and love it in every way. SBTCU delivers customer-focused small town banking in Santa Barbara... no it's not Kansas, but it could be! Even though it is not open on weekends, it is not an issue for me, and I'm glad to know all the employees can have a weekend. Loan rates are indeed excellent and extends to all services and fees which are far cheaper than the mega-banks. ***Since the big banks continue to exploit all of us, I choose to go with a local credit union.

This credit union runs in my family. My mother through county schools library qualified her, later when I worked at SBCC library I qualified. The best banking experience of my life. Hands down. Low employee turnover, personalized service. Their fees for services such as notarized signatures and cashiers checks. They utilize Union Bank for their own personal electronic teller so you have a wide range of locations to bank without incurring fees.

I've had my account here for about 25 years and even though the technology is not like what the big banks have, I love this little bank! They are personable, have great loan rates, have helped me prevent fraud and theft from my account and I'm proud to use them for most of my banking needs. Only negatives are That there is no atm or weekend access since SBBT sold out to Union Bank. I would love to see them establish a new relationship that allows for that.

This credit union is a down-to-earth locals place. They recognize you when you come in, are very friendly, and have extremely good terms for first mortgages, their credit card etc. Highly recommend if you qualify for membership.

This place is awesome! Friendly and helpful staff. They are on top of everything that has to do with your money. Their fraud division goes the "extra-extra" mile. They are small and mighty.

Fast friendly service with great rates...
