Great service and products!
I became a member of Fairwinds shortly after becoming a student at UCF, and I'm happy to be a member. Since setting up my checking and savings account, I've been able to access my funds through both my personal debit/credit card and my UCF ID, which makes it convenient when I forget one and not the other. I just left a big name bank that was gladly charging a fee every month for holding my money to go to FCU which offers the no-fee free student checking, which is amazing. Not only is it easy to set up, but it is also saving me money with no hidden fees!

Amazing Experience
Using the UCF student checking account of Fairwinds not only lets me show my pride for my university anywhere I go but I can also use it anywhere. It is amazing to have my money at hand all the time and being able to comunicate with a branch if I'm having a problem or just walk in to the branch when I'm on campus. Its amaizng the help i got when I decided to open the account and how in detail they explained everything to me. I'm very happy with my expirience with this account I havent had a problem since I've had it and I absolutely love it.

Amazing customer service!
At orientation, I loved how the reps were standing outside the door waiting and ready to help! There were so many tables inside so your rep could just take you to a less crowded place and ask for all your information in security and comfort. My rep was so friendly and answered my dad's many questions with no problem. Very fast and efficient; excited to be a member of their credit union!

New Account, Seems Fantastic
I just became a member a month ago and have yet to use my account because I'm not on campus yet. However, the staff were incredibly helpful setting up my account and credit card as well as answering any questions I had. The card came quickly and was easy to activate. So far, my experience has been all positive.

Wonderful and friendly
About one month ago, I opened a checking account at Fairwinds, and it has been the best banking experience that I have ever had. The website is user friendly, the staff at the site on campus are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend opening an account with them.

Great Experience
I became a member of Fairwinds two months ago and I sure am glad I did. I'm from out of state so I didn't have a bank to go to when I first came down here, but the people at Fairwinds have been nothing but sweet and friendly to me and have helped me with all of my banking needs.
