Rhode Island Credit Union
Rhode Island Credit Union has experienced many changes throughout our history. The Board and Management have continued to respond to industry changes in an effort to keep up with an ever changing financial and technological market. Our unique business model where credit union members are the owners of the institution proves to be as effective today as it was in 1946 when Rhode Island Credit Union was founded.

The idea of serving only the needs of credit union members, not distant shareholders is what guides our decision-making process. It is inevitable that changes will be made from time to time to keep the Credit Union viable and competitive. Like every other business, we adapt to the business realities of our time.

I have been a customer for more than 20 yrs and never had a problem….When I went in for debt consolidation they were more then helpful and help me achieve my goal and as a member there I got a terrific rate…..BUT CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE A APP OR A BETTER EXPERIENCE FOR ONLINE USE ITS ABSOLUTELY INFURIATING but all in all in use case they have been stellar and always helpful…I only use the providence branch though so speak for them specifically.

Worst bank ever. Their policies make no sense. No two branches follow the same rules. Tammy is rude and speaks to her customers like children. Their online banking is useless. They claim to have to do everything in person. Maybe of they updated their technology they wouldn't have a problem. The only bank where I can't access my account online and do anything. Closing my accounts so I never have to go there again.

Absolutely horrible place. Anytime I have to do ANYTHING other than deposit money, it's a hassle. They don't have their own app, their website is in the stone age. Don't bank with these people. Use a REAL bank.

Most difficult bank I have ever dealt with. Easy to open accounts and get loans. Horrible to try and pay off loans and close accounts. DO NOT RECOMMEND

The friendliest bank I’ve ever dealt with. Carmen and Danielle went above and beyond to make my experience seamless. I highly recommend the Pascoag branch!

I like the thoroughness, and the attention to detail displayed by the finance team at the Providence branch. They were so helpful in making sure I understood all the important terms. I am giving them an excellent rating. Many thanks to the manager Joann as well as Christian.

I have done 2 car loans with this credit union and both with Marilyn Meas. She worked hard for us, very professional, answered all our questions. And when we found a car she did her best to give us a quick closing. She's in the Cranston office. Great employee and thank you for working hard on our behalf.

Terrible bank to deal with, you cant even change your address using the portal. I was asked to send a letter, did that and still the address hasn't been updated. Its like dealing with an 18th century bank, terrible.

Don't discriminate against potential clients who can't wear face masks due to medical conditions. very rude. I'll be filing a complaint with the attorney general thankfully BofA was able to accommodate us for our mortgage.

I have had my checking and savings accounts at RICU for over 30 years. I have taken every car loan and several mortgages from them also. Rates are awesome, staff is wonderful and locations all work for me.

The absolute worst banking institution I have ever dealt with. None of the staff members ever smile. The online banking is very “clunky” to say the least. They aren’t open on Saturdays. You’re unable to transfer funds to other account holders (wife, children, friends). The monthly fees for having an account are also more expensive than other major banks which offer much more. Save yourself a headache and thank me later.

Provides outdated banking, online features are sparse at best. There is no banking app. Service is mediocre. To top it off there is not one bathroom available to members out of the entire building at the branch on Francis street in Providence. This bank just doesn't offer much if your looking to bank somewhere in Providence, keep looking is my recommendation.

Walked in to open an account and sat in the lobby for fifteen minutes without anyone saying a word to me. Two reps, one helping a customer and the other sitting at her computer looking busy. No acknowledgment. SonI am bringing my business somewhere else. Why Sprint partners with this credit union I’ll never understand.

I have had nothing but terrible experiences with the Providence branch. Their online banking is pretty much non existent, all you can do is check your balance and reorder checks. I’d recommend sticking with a well known bank, they offer much more.

Not a good experience so far. Communication has been suboptimal to say the least. Can't get a straight answer if your life depends on it. Keep you posted.

RICU is more than just banking. It is people helping people. You remember the staff because of the way they make you feel. RICU strives for quality products to simplify people's lives & offers highly competitive rates.
