I used to bank downtown next to the library at a different bank and after getting treated badly I changed banks and should have done it years sooner. I used to have to take time off work to get to my old bank on time but not this one. Not only are they open late but they are open on the weekends, both Saturday and Sunday. Boom. Done deal.

Westfield may not always give the highest rate but the perks it gives makes up for it. I love my ATM as I no longer have to pay fees. The bank automatically takes it off. I have no problems getting to the bank because of its tremendous hours and I'm always treated with the utmost respect. I would certainly recommend this bank. When my father passed away closing out the accounts were a nightmare in the other banks. Social Security #'s were on the wrong accounts and they even questioned the death certificates. This is mainly why I'm now at Westfield Bank.

Very difficult for business accounts. Even the new member application is for an individual; there…read moreis no separate form for a business account so the manager had to "fudge" several of the fields for us - that's not a big deal, but it felt awfully kludgy. It took more than a week (and two separate copies of a corp resolution) to get an account opened. The fee schedule is a bit out of hand; some of the fees are wild at best and extortionate at worst. Our biggest issue, however, is the length of time for a check to clear. If you deposit a check at this place, I hope you don't need it for a few days. It's 2015 and there is no excuse for a financial institution to take this long on processing checks. Sure, *some* (just some) of your money will be available the next day. But, unfortunately, that's just not competitive in business banking here in the real world, where most banks have ALL money available the next business day. The staff at my local branch has been helpful and always friendly, albeit relatively clueless when it comes to business accounts. But you can't blame them for that, I suppose they just aren't used to seeing this type of account all that often. But you would expect at least the managers to be trained for this sort of thing? This is probably a good CU for an individual, but it just doesn't compete with any (literally ANY) other CU or bank in the area for business accounts.

They've worked with me on cars that were a little too old to qualify for a loan "by the rules," and as long as it's a great car, they OK'd it. I didn't end up buying that car, but I was still impressed they didn't give me hassle and said "yes" in 10 minutes flat. Their rates are better than anything else I have seen, save maybe special manufacturer promos at 0.99%. Paperwork is kept to a minimum and fast. I've never spent longer than half an hour. I have no reason to go anywhere else. I'll keep financing cars through them for as long as I live in the Springfield area.
