April S., Member since 2011I became a member of the credit union when my husband and I joined accounts. I came from a large corporate bank, and the difference was a breath of fresh air! I’ve always felt welcomed and ‘a part of the family’ when I complete transactions at the credit union. They have helped us through everyday transactions, fraudulent transactions, auto loans and personal loan advice. I always advise people to go to Abilene Teachers!
