By far the most professional and courteous banking establishment I’ve ever been inside of !!!.. the employees have been amazing and the loan officers were very friendly as well!!.. I can’t say enough about how happy I am to have switched majority of my personal business finances over to GBCU accounts as of February 2025 !! Wish I would have done it decades ago !!.. thank you!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The service representatives are very respectful and helpful. Great Basin Federal Credit Union offers great benefits, and hassle free banking. Would recommend anyone looking for a great bank, to give Great Basin a try.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The entire process of transition from the Reno City Employees Credit Union (RCEFCU) has been easy to navigate. All employees have been outstanding to work with.
Additionally, I am currently worki
ng abroad. Staff at the Sparks branch were able to solve a unique situation for me in an effort to make funds secure during my work abroad.
Lastly, my only criticism of GBFCU is the on again / off again availability of the bill pay system. Sometimes it works well, most of the time it does not. Perhaps that is because I am logging in from abroad, but it is problematic.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I like doing business with real people rather than working through a menu on the phone or a chat bot online. Whether at the ATM or going into the Credit Union, the people have always been able to solve my issue and are very knowledgeable and pleasant to work with.

Eneida Parra was the worst

Eneida Parra was the worst, 3rd visit to get things straightened out… she stood at counter and said that we didnt understand banking, and told us to return in 1 hour to talk to someone, that someone was her, she then wanted us to fill out paperwork and we would have to wait another hour … we got mad and left …. It was their mistake AND INSTEAD OF SAYING SO OR EVEN CALLING SHE SENT … email… showing corrections of where they took $ out of savings to pay car payment
It’s ok to make mistakes BUT not to own up to it after telling us we don’t understand is Wrong 😑 Roy and Cindy Callahan

Poor customer service and horrible loan rates.

In November I bought a new truck. Your loan rates were worse than the big banks. I asked for a loan specialist to call me, your employee said someone would, it never happened. The rate and the customer service would not have happened when I was with reno Employees FCU and I was a member there for more than 30 years. So disappointing and due to lack of follow up, I will probably close my account, and recommend my family members do the same.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Joe. We did fall short in our follow-up with you and I'd be disappointed too. I do understand you were able to talk with our loan manager today, but if you would like additional follow-up, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at 775-789-3109. Thank you for your membership and for the opportunity to look into this further for you.
