"I applied for a credit card last week and was approved within a matter of days! The application was only pending for three days. The interest rate was so low and the reward program of 1% will be something I will cash in on every year!"

"San Francisco Federal Credit Union has a great employee who really exemplifies why customers patronize particular banks. Back in October of 2020, I ran across a Honda Accord that I wanted to purchase. I had shopped around at different banks but was unsatisfied with their service. I decided to give SFFCU a try and I ever so grateful! The Credit Union representative was the credit card agent who assisted me and was very effective in helping me with approval. He was very patient and efficient in explaining the terms of the credit card award program process. I felt comfortable and at ease working with him. Also, when looking at my credit, he saw that I had a Bank of America credit card that had a higher interest rate than what SFFCU had and recommended that I also use Online banking to pay with credit card payment.  This card and this credit card helped to boost my credit score. He has followed up with me to make sure that I was happy with the card program.  I am forever grateful for what the credit union representative did for me, and I look forward to doing business with SFFCU again."

"My husband and I recently applied for a San Francisco Federal Credit Union credit card through service representative. The branch Manager was an excellent service representative. They explained very clearly what we needed to do to achieve our goal. They were extremely responsive to our questions and to sending us appropriate forms and to taking care of their end of the transaction. I give them my highest praise for doing an excellent job."

"SFFedCU helped me out last week with a personal loan and [the representative] noticed that my credit card APR was 5.6%, which in my opinion I thought it was pretty good. But she went far beyond...and lowered my interest rate to a 3.2%. That is totally amazing. She also was able to increase my credit limit."
