This was my first time using the online help IM from your website. The person (Casey) I spoke to was friendly, and extra helpful. My questions were answered in a timely manner.  I am so impressed by the service I am getting from FFCCU! So happy I opened an account.

I would like to give a huge ‘Kudos’ to Casey in the Customer Service area as she has always been such a wonderful help to me.  She has helped me out in many situations and is always polite, emphatic, and efficient… It is because of service like Casey’s that I won’t go anywhere else! Thanks Casey…..

From time to time things our minds causes a OOPS! and Marybeth (The Greatest!!!!) at the downtown location, gives us a courteous call because she knows we are usually on top of things. She fixes the problem and puts our mind at ease. We could not ask for a better place to handle our bank accounts and loans. Again, We Thank You from the bottom of our hearts.

I was introduced to a remarkable young gal by the name of Tonja Davis at the Broadview Heights, Ohio location.  At first blush, one can tell she is beautiful with a quiet, yet confident demeanor.  My Dad is in a nursing home; handled all of the finances for my Mom and Tonja “held my hand” to figure out details with regard to my Dad’s pension.  She was caring, professional and very sweet.  I indicated to her that a branch should be opened in Medina county; I would not have closed all of Dad’s accounts otherwise.  The amounts were substantial.  Tonja… Read more »

LeeAnn is AMAZING!!!   She always has a smile and greets me by name every time i come in, even if it’s been a few months since i have been in. She makes banking a pleasure! When my son opened his account she made a special effort to tell him about how great it was to start saving at a young age and that he can actually earn money by saving! that was over $1000 ago and he’ still saving!! Thanks LeeAnn!!

Kudos for Chris McManis ! After being on a 2 month search for the right bank institution as former bank professional myself I have been looking for an institution that would work for my goals rather than sell me goals that work for them , and Chris understood that . I know the credit union system was the way to go I went to 3 different credit unions and the experience had in the other two where no different than the bank system I am looking to move away from and this was my last attempt I almost didn’t go… Read more »

KUDOS to Sumintra at the North Ridgeville branch! It’s so nice to have someone remember your name and your spouse’s name,  even when you only see them maybe once a month. This is one of the most important reasons why we have continued over the years to be a part of a  credit union, because you are not just a number, you are an individual. Thank you to Sumintra and to all the others at the North Ridgeville branch for always making us feel welcomed! KUDOS! KUDOS! KUDOS!

We would like to thank Chris McManis for all of his hard work and determination while helping us secure a loan. Chris put 110% forth in helping to get both my husband and myself on the loan. It took some time but Chris worked diligently and answered all of our questions…even after we signed the paperwork there was a little confusion but Chris worked on the situation until it was correct. I can say that my husband and I were 125% satisfied with the dedication Chris has for his job and helping his customers. We really appreciate all of his… Read more »

I want to thank Tomesha at the LaGrange branch, for helping me to realize my potential. She was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. Not only did Tomesha help me with my goals and future plans she put me in touch with everyone I needed to make my dreams a reality. I appreciated that she did not sugar coat anything she gave the facts. Because of her honesty and knowledge I’m in the process of transferring all of my accounts to FireFighters Community Credit Union! Tomesha is a GEM!!

I should have done this three months ago. In September while in London, England you returned my call and within two minutes reset the password to my FFCCU ATM card. I did not set my password properly prior to leaving the USA. You really helped and saved our vacation. Thank You very much. Have a Merry Christmas.

We would like to thank Shawn at the Broadview Heights location for helping us with our auto loan.  We had an issue getting in contact with another agent, called Shawn and she was able to assist us immediately without setting an appointment! It was a Saturday morning, we arrived at noon and the closing time was 12:30pm.  Shawn continued to help us past normal business hours until everything was finalized.  Amazing service and that’s something companies cannot buy. Thanks Shawn!!!

I would like to give a very sincere thank you to Beth, who processed my name change. I am always hesitant in face-to-face dealings because I am gay, and don’t want to feel discriminated against for getting married. I was treated with BEYOND the utmost respect and professionalism. I am so pleased to be a member here, and because of Beth, we are considering moving our entire savings here. Thank you!
