's Consumer Friendliness Accolades

Credit Unions receive stars for meeting our consumer friendliness requirements.

Virginia Credit Union is 3 stars better than your typical bank:


Branches

No Int'l Fee

No Advance Fee

  • Branch Convenience - This credit union is a member of CU Service Centers, a nationwide cooperative that allows customers to bank at over 4,000 partner credit union branches.
  • No Foreign Transaction Fee - Most credit unions charge around 1%, whereas most banks charge around 3%. Very few credit unions earn a star here, which requires the credit union to eat the ~1% fee charged by Visa/MasterCard.
  • No Cash Advance Fee - Your typical bank charges around 3%, while many credit unions charge much less. We give out stars for 0% cash advance fees on credit cards.

Card Details
  • This credit union only discloses an "as low as" APR before you apply, which is also unusual and not consumer friendly
  • This rebate card doesn't give you a full 1% back until you spend $10,000 per year - it gives you 0.5% for the first $5,000 then 0.75% up to $10,000
  • Rewards are capped at $500 per year, which is also just silly, and you can only get rewards every anniversary which is inflexible
  • With so many great reward cards out there that give you back more than 1%, get a different one if you don't carry a balance
  • This credit union only discloses an "as low as" APR before you apply, whic h is also unusual and not consumer friendly
