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.

I have visited the location on Thomasville Road, several times and Ms. Krystal Sutton has always provided excellent customer service. Each time she has greeted me with a smile and politeness. I am so grateful to be a member of a credit union that employs professional staff with amazing customer service.

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!

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!!

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!

Five stars for Liz in the Panama City branch is such an amazingly friendly person. When you bank at this branch you get so much more than a banker…Thanks Liz for always being awesome!

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!

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’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.


Kristi at the Crawfordville location was very helpful and was able to help me navigate the process of buying a vehicle from out of town without a problem. She made sure I had everything I needed and was prepared days in advance.

Ryan B.


Wonderful team at College Town/Campus Branch. Sherika is a fantastic teller. She was so patient with my grandson cashing his first check.

Donna C.


I just wanted to say that Jessica Houston is absolutely amazing! I have put her through the ringer the past few weeks with her assistance in refinancing all of my autos and toys and on top of that trying to get a small back and forth car. She has been helpful and fast through the full process. Thank you thank you thank you for helping me so much! You guys are amazing!

Shaina J.


I certainly appreciate all the help that Kristina provided in setting up my accounts with Champions First CU.  I’m looking forward to using my new accounts, and I’m glad I have such a nice beginning.

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!

Janessa S.


My husband & I recently received an auto loan through Champions First CU in Crawfordville. Kaycee was an angel from day one! She is very knowledgeable & was a tremendous help through the entire process, even after. Will definitely be reaching out to her for any & all of our loan needs. Thanks so much Kaycee!!

Callie B.


Kristi was such a great help today. She made my payment processing experience with Champions First Credit Union so easy and honestly around the holidays customer service like what she gave it much needed and appreciated. THANKS KRISTI!

Kaycee at Champions First CU in Crawfordville was great to work with on a loan. She and Jordan had my application submitted and we were ready to close all on the same day! They made this so easy! 🙂

Kaitlyn S.


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!!!

Gina M.


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!

It’s always a great experience walking in. The staff is always very polite and helpful. A special shout out to Josh and Heather for helping me today. What I thought would take at least a half-hour was done in no time. I certainly appreciate the experience.

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.

Had everything, and more, I needed.  Much less expensive than a bank & far more personal. Plus, I love Champions First!

Sissy R.


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++!

Liz is always so pleasant and helpful. Often I go in for one type of service, yet they have so many other great services, that I come out with my money well invested (and sometimes I even come away with swag).

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!!!

Bruce M.


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.


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.

James R.


Superior Customer Service!  They know you by name! Clean and welcoming atmosphere.  Tiffany and her team members go above and beyond to help with all your banking needs!  This is a great go-to place for loans.  Give them a call or stop by for a wonderful customer service experience.
