If you leave enough money in your account to cover your outgoing checks, you will not have fees. Also, if you are friendly with them, they will be friendly with you. Think: mirror.

First Western Federal was my Self-directed IRA lender for a duplex I bought recently in Austin…read moreTexas. They made the lending process very easy to do and easy to understand. Roger St Pierre was super helpful and patient in explaining the process to me and was great at keeping me updated all along the way. Unlike other lenders, Roger asks most of the questions up front and, once he gives you the approval, you are good to go. Most other lenders offered a "provisional approval" right away but then wouldn't commit until much further in the process. Since I had a deal I really wanted to close, a short timeline, and Earnest money at stake, I was glad that I went with Roger. They got the closing instructions to the title company three days early and the loan documents to me to review two days early. Thus, by the time I got to closing, I already knew everything was good to go. I can attest that they run a great shop. PS. (They also suggested a couple of different attorney firms to draft my LLC documents. The one I selected, KKOS, also turned out to be fantastic and super speedy. My only tip is to make sure that everyone at the bank and the attorney office knows your time line and whether you value "cheap" or "quick". The attorney selected "send check" from my self directed IRA to fund the LLC bank account for closing and I luckily happened to catch that and changed it to "send wire" so that there would be no delays. The attorneys were saving me wire fees but I needed it to be fast so I changed the forms to make sure that each time things were sent via Fedex or wire for fastest results. I closed in less than 30 days from start to finish.)

A person should not be constantly lied to. Thanks Mark finance guy at 605 Auto PLaza. He consistently lied to me. They saw I had good credit and took advantage.

Paid off the loan and had planned to move…read moreall of my banking locally to BHFCU, as I always make an effort to keep my business local, including banking. Called to start the process, and they told me my account was closed due to being dormant, and that they had taken the $70.59 that was in the account to cover costs. No letter, no email, no text, no call. Admittedly, the amount was small, but I found the fact that they would close any account without making an effort to notify me was unbelievable and incredibly arrogant. Apparently, I was sorely mistaken to expect the hometown service I was looking for from BHFCU, and I certainly will not move my significant banking in terms of loans, savings accounts, credit cards, etc., to BHFCU. I would urge everyone to watch your accounts closely as they apparently have no problem with not only closing them without notice, but also with taking the balance.

I've been doing business with Med5 for many years, back when they used to be called Rapid City…read moreMedical Federal CU. Working with them is easy and with an amazingly personal approach and friendliness that certainly raises my expectations of customer service. I mean, they know me by name, despite the fact that I am primarily an online and ATM kind of guy and walk into the lobby maybe once every couple of years, or go through the drive through like 3 times a year. It's uncanny, I tell you. Highly recommended; A+

My wife knew his wife through teaching and we all became good friend socially following that. Jim convinced me to transfer all my accounts, stock market portfolio to his bank. It was probably the most financial beneficial decision I have ever made. Walking in their front door, you are always greeted and sked if you need any assistance. I'm not a very wealthy person, but your pocket book does not garner any more attention at this bank. Today I had to do a quick money xfer to our daughter in DC. This bank made the process so wonderfully personal and helpful. I attempted to do the xfer to a US Bank account and you absolutely find it next to impossible to talk to a human there, with good English, at US Bank. I never did accomplish anything with them. Pioneer Bank & Trust, however, was just so helpful, AND you can get a human simply calling them. In looking at reviews, I noticed one from a former employee who stated if was the best place they have ever worked. I truly believe that. It advertises that they are "local", and boy they are. A "AAA" rated bank, family owned and just damn nice to deal with. THIS IS AN UNSOLICITED REVIEW, prompted by today's assistance at this bank.
