We have had such an amazing experience with the Panama City location! It is such a pleasure to even walk in the door. You walk in like you are family and they remember names and faces! We have had issues with banks in the area and I am so glad that Champions First Credit Union worked out for my family!

Ms. Mallorie was incredible. She was dealing with the drive-through as well as the desk when I came in and still with a smile. She took awesome care of my needs.

Deja is the best associate I’ve had the pleasure of working with at the CollegeTown branch of Champions First Credit Union! She is incredibly personable and was extremely helpful while handling my account investigation behind an unauthorized withdrawal. She is truly dedicated to helping others and deserves recognition for the work she does each day for members.

I love this place! I have an auto loan through Champions First CU and they are just wonderful. Kristi at the  Crawfordville location is who I’m usually connected with and she is helpful, and very friendly. She always answers my questions in a professional manner and treats me like a person not just a payment. I HIGHLY recommend Champions First Credit Union!

Ms. Sheree Walker provided amazing assistance to my daughter and I in purchasing an automobile! She  displayed a commendable disposition, and was expeditious in all of her efforts.  She went above and beyond our expectations and provided SUPERB customer service!!!  Matter-of-fact, because of this experience, we will always recommend others to do business with Champions First Credit Union!!!?

Chelsey Logan of Champions First is your outstanding employee who patiently helped me to improve my credit score enough to qualify for a consolidation loan. She gave me clear answers both when I emailed her and made unannounced visits to your North Monroe Street Branch.

3 weeks ago my wife and I found the perfect truck for us 4 hours away. I called Kaycee and sent the info to her immediately. To my surprise she called me just a few short hours later telling me we can go get the truck! The next morning we hit the road and went and got our new truck and has been in love with it ever since! Kaycee made the entire process so entirely easy! She made it all about us, and it showed! Thank you Kaycee!!!

She made the loan process extremely quick, easy, and painless. I would highly recommend Champions First CU, especially if you speak to someone like Sharon!

Checked with Kaycee at the Crawfordville Branch about possibly refinancing my auto loan. Kaycee was great in not only getting that done but also made me aware of many other financial products available through Champions First CU and I am now a very happy Champions First CU member utilizing several of their services. The rates for loans, credit cards, savings accounts etc. are the best I have come across to date. The customer service is absolutely unparalleled!

My family has used Champions First CU for about 5 years now and the Crawfordville location is the one we visit the most. They are by far the best and easiest to work with! General banking and help, as well as cars loans etc. It’s all been completely painless. These folks are great.

Kristi Mckenzie was extremely helpful in resolving my questions today! Another great example of why Champions First Credit Union is a wonderful financial institution, your people treat every situation with care, even over the phone. A++!

Brogdon C.

Sheree Walker is awesome! When we were purchasing a vehicle recently, the deal was secured quickly, the interest rate was very low, and we happily drove away in our new vehicle. We were not members of the credit union, we didn’t know Sheree, but she treated us like family and took great care of us. We refer everyone to Sheree now, because she knows how to treat customers. Thanks Sheree!!!

My mother and I recently refinanced our car with the courteous and helpful assistance of Miss Kaycee Britt at the Champions First CU branch in Crawfordville. Kaycee provided us with quality customer service, information on the great rates available and the convenience to complete the entire process from our home! Thank you, Kaycee and the Champions First CU team, for assisting us and answering all our questions in a timely manner. We appreciate you and Go Noles!

Erica H.

I want to take the time out to thank Tanya and Shanice getting my car refinanced. They made it so easy. Thank you guys.

Sophia Evans

Amazing customer service! And, super quick loan approval! 2 days ago found car online at local dealership. Called Champions First CU during lunch break to get pre-approved (current loan promo is best rate we could find). Selected loans in automated phone system and Sheree picked up right away. She took info over phone and submitted request before my 30 minute lunch was over. We were pre-approved by the time I got off work, went to dealership, bought car, and drove it home. Yesterday morning emailed buyer order to Sheree. She had loan approved same day. Signed loan docs using cell phones…very easy. We wanted to hand deliver check to dealership. Sheree made it happen. CU actually stayed opened a few minutes after 5pm for us. Highly recommend Sheree and Champions First CU. Thank you so much!!

Ruth K.

I just wanted to let y’all know the Kimberly Lutz went above and beyond with what she was working with us on!!! When we have any questions she will be our go-to person!!! Thank you Kimberly you ARE the BEST!!!

I am truly happy with my decision to bank with Champions First Credit Union. It is really a pleasure working with the staff at the Campus branch!!! They are always so helpful and I will refer ALL of my family and friends to Champions First Credit Union. Thank you specifically to Kiona, Ashlee, Camilla, Melissa, and Joey for always being professional and an aid to me with my personal finances!

Sandra G.

These guys at Champions First CU are the best! I have got multiple loans with them, and each time I have been so happy with the service! The best banking option every FSU student must try!

Mehran L.

Words cannot express the service I received from Champions First CU. Mainly Kiona Tyler.  From the loan application, to the payment process it was truly a one of a kind experience. The funny thing is I was referred to Kiona( Champions First CU) from my current bank SunTrust.  They said Champions First CU can help you more than we can. In all honestly they truly leaned in and made sure I was taken care of and NOW I am saving thousands on my auto refinance. I will not go anywhere else for an auto loan ever again. I with Champions First CU for LIFE!

Matt P.

I’ve been a member of Champions First CU since the late 80’s. I had such an amazing experience with my loan officer that I had to share. Bought out my vehicle lease and had the pleasure of collaborating with Sheree Walker as my loan officer. Wow, she was amazing from our first conversation until the completion of my refinance loan. I originally reached out to her 3 months prior to my vehicle lease ending to discuss my options and interest rates. Shortly after we spoke, I decided to move forward with the purchase of my vehicle. She guided me through the process while keeping the lines of communications open every step of the way. Even after my refinance was complete with Champions First Credit Union Sheree reached out to let me know that she received the title and other documents from prior leasing institution. Now, that is a remarkable customer service experience that I had to share. If you ever need to refinance, purchase or any banking needs. I would highly recommend Sheree Walker!

Tina S.

My wife and I refinanced our car with Kaycee and we couldn’t be happier. It was by far the easiest and smoothest loan transaction that I have ever been a part of and Kaycee was able to save us thousands of dollars by refinancing at much better rates than we had gotten through a dealership. The entire experience was so pleasant that I have opened checking and savings here and will be changing all of our banking to this branch. Thanks Kaycee!

Kenneth E.

Sheree was the greatest!! She was so helpful with walking me through all the steps of getting an auto loan and making sure all of the paperwork was taken care of. She made it so easy and fast. Thank you, Sheree. I was happy to do business with you again! You’re the best!

Megan N.

We applied for an auto loan and got the pleasure of working with Kaycee….. It was such an easy and quick process! We now plan on moving our other auto loan over to Champions First CU. Their rates are awesome and their staff is even better!
