The credit union movement began more than 150 years ago with a simple idea - that people could achieve a better standard of living for themselves and others by pooling their savings and making loans to neighbors and co-workers. The credit union movement began in the United States in 1909 when the first credit union was formed in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Credit unions serve many people left unserved by traditional banking institutions and provide an alternative to the oppressive loan rates charged by predatory lenders. Today's credit unions remain unique financial institutions with a "not for profit but for service" operating philosophy. Annual polls show that credit unions lead the financial community year after year by providing top quality personal service to millions of Americans.

I have only been banking here for the past three years since moving from California. The customer service is great. For a small local bank on a small city, it works for me. There's mobile deposits through their mobile app. Good protection when I am traveling. Option to lock your card of purchases are made outside the state. Wish they had more of a return rate on savings accounts. But again for a bank out here, I love it. Definitely recommend.

Whatever you financing needs are, go and talk to the guys from Cochise Credit Union first. If they can, they make it happen. Fast and Professional. Nancy and Lisa worked on my car loan and in no time I was approved for a car loan. Now I am enjoying 10 % less interest than with other loan providers. Awesome Customer Service!
