Every time I need help with my account
Every time I need help with my account, it is always fair, fast and friendly!
Look elsewhere
I have been their client over 15 years and recently they completely blocked my accounts because I couldn’t verify my address.in the states. I explained I am a US diplomat living abroad and therefore do not have a utility bill in the states. Despite sending evidence I am a diplomat. My account is still blockes after almost a week. The issue is still unresolved. Furthermore, they want to add a Mexican address as my home address which can flag my account and make it worse. I can’t believe they don’t know how to handle the situation with government employees stationed overseas.
The Fraud Dept thought I was frudulent!
Terrible Fraud Department Agent who did not listen to me. This person should be fired. I called to have them unlock my account. Agent seemed inexperienced, and insecure, and she had to ask someone higher what she should do. They stated they would keep my account open, and that it would remain locked forever. What is the point if I cannot use it? Thank you!
They are pros.
Again, the Pentagon Federal Credit union rep was so helpful. Could not have been more attentive, helpful or professional. Great reps from PFCU are getting to be expected. So glad they are looking after my life savings.
Customer Service worst in the business.
Geez, 20 minutes to speak to a human!! Then finally I got connected to somebody in the Philippines who couldn’t do squat for me!!!! Do not join this credit union you will be sorry. Customer Service is the worst in the business.

PenFed is an excellent financial company
I have been a member of PenFed Credit Union for about 20 years. I have always found the people at PenFed who I have interacted with when I had a question or problem to be very helpful. They are really customer focused company.
Best credit union
Very friendly and professional. Answered all questions and made me feel important . The best credit union I have ever had the pleasure to deal with. Great rates on products. Highly recommend.
Very gentle people
Took my money despite fulfilling request.
PenFed sent me a notice to login to my account in order to keep it active, because I hadn't visited it in a while. I did so as requested. About a month later it took my money out of my account as unclaimed property. Customer service refused to reinstate it, and provided me with a website to search for my money (who in turn had no idea I ever existed).
