Wear Your Colors!

I've had my Student Checking since I started my first job back in 2006. Purdue Federal Credit Union's staff are always helpful if I have any questions about my Student Checking Account. It is great that I can do all of my banking needs either online or at a branch, so I know that my questions will always be answered. Finally, with the great service that Purdue Federal provides their members, you can't go wrong with a FREE Checking Account.

Couldn't be happier with my choice for PEFCU! Have never had a problem. My friends are always trying to get to a bank over in Lafayette or a credit union back at home. I can do everything I need online and on campus. Even when I'm off campus I can easily put more money in my account with UDeposit!

Purdue Federal's Student Checking has always been good to me.  

I love everything about my banking experience.

PEFCU has provided great service over the years and I plan to stay with them.        

Not bad, excellent customer service and no complaints.

I really love the cash rewards.

Excellent service.
 

Excellent.
 

It's alright.

The fraud system is so flawed. The whole point of a student account is to be flexible, but any out of state transactions shut down the card. I've even been frozen for a $4.XX purchase at my local Kroger, 4 blocks from my apartment. Then to make matters worse the help line is only open during business hours. If you're going to shut the account down for dumb reasons at least provide a 24 hour help line to verify purchases. Or add an additional way to disable the fraud system, email/text/etc.

I really like how the PFCU website and PFCU app has a format that is very easy to navigate.

Seamless integration with my Purdue University account. I can pay my tuition fees and receive my monthly stipend without any hassle!

I love this credit union. The free Student Account has been a blessing to me these past four years.
 

Good for just a debit card.  Due dates on credit card payments aren't very pronounced. Cash Rewards program doesn't show how far you have to go to earn your next payout which is pretty annoying.  Overall not a horrible decision.

Great product! Love Purdue Fed!

Awesome!
 

Free Checking and other services? Friendly staff just an email away? A branch two minutes from my apartment? An online portal that actually works? You have any idea how hard it's been to get all of those things at the same time?

I really enjoy the simplicity of Purdue Federal and that there are no fees. The perks are really awesome too!

Awesome electronic service.
 

Very good, I enjoy it a lot!
 

Good, friendly service. Ease of access.
 

No complaints. Just simple banking.

It's been really useful for me to have a Student Checking Account through PEFCU. My dad is easily able to transfer money or withdraw it from my account.

No problems thus far. Love the Mobile Deposit feature.

I like the Student Checking Account by PFCU as it gives flexibility of Online Banking. Convenient to use. The Manage Your Budget feature is a great way to help you keep on track for your savings goal!

All is well, but pending transactions should show up too.

Great! Love the bonus perks!
 

I am very satisfied with Purdue Fed's Student Checking.

I've had an account here since I got my first job, and I couldn't be happier. Whenever I go in I'm greeted by an incredibly friendly and helpful staff; and I love the perks and low rates. It's great for not only students but anyone.

Great bank for students! Really helpful and friendly staff members in both branches I have been to.

Perfect for Purdue students. There are ATMs on campus everywhere.
 

Not a lot of fees and it is really awesome how there are so many ATMs affiliated with this bank. Also, the people at the branches in Lafayette are great at being efficient as well as friendly.

It's nice to be able to switch my money between accounts at this bank quickly and easily, but account activity to and from outside this bank is really slow to show up on the account balances.

I prefer Purdue Fed to other products in town.
 

Absolutely everything you need--with no annoying hidden fees or small print! The folks at PFCU are always friendly and helpful. They have very competitive rates, and offer nationwide ATMs through the Shared Branch program. I don't even need to switch banks after graduation, because I can use any Shared Branch in the country! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a no-nonsense, high-quality experience!

Very good and easy banking, never had a problem.
 

Works good.

I have had nothing but praise for PFCU.

Worst. They are a student credit union and do not understand what we face when we are deducted a $30 fee for not having sufficient funds everytime. Piece of crap people.
 

Solid Checking Account; overdraft fees can be sort of a bummer; love the phone app; wish I had better financial counseling.

It does what it needs to, and that's enough.

PFCU has been invaluable to me. The ease of online access, as well as the number of ATMs on and off campus makes it extremely easy to get my banking done.
 

It's a great account for students. I only wish they had more branches outside of West Lafayette so that even if I go out of state, I can deposit money into my account if need be.

Amazing customer service and the account is perfect for students.

This is good.

I love having my bank so convenient to me. We have a PFCU in my school, so I can access my account whenever I need to. Plus, in all my interactions in all the branches I've been to in the surrounding areas, not one of them has been remotely negative. Everyone is super understanding and cool while explaining stuff I probably should've been able to figure out anyways. I love calling PFCU my bank.

I've had no problems with my Purdue Fed account since getting it. I love the services they provide and the support staff are always helpful. Would totally recommend them to anyone wanting to switch.
 

The incoming wire fee of $10 is too much for students. Should have some relaxed rules for students.

The banking services are great, but the after hours customer service options are not so great. I had to waste a whole lot of time to just speak to a customer agent, who finally told me to call back on a business day.

Everything is as you'd expect it to be.

I don't have any hidden fees, my account is free. I love the service you guys provide, especially after switching from Chase! Thank you for everything you guys do!

Since the usage requirements for a student account are so low, this really fits my low-income situation.  Any student who needs a bank account should highly consider opening one.
 

It helps me save and it's easy to do deposits with the pictures of the check in the app.

Solid service. Haven't had any problems. Thanks, Purdue Fed.

Really easy to apply online, help and assistance is available whenever you need it online or in person, over the phone or by email. The Student Checking Account is an amazing offer for High School students like me, the minimal fees and other perks made me choose Purdue Federal Credit Union over the rest and I'm glad I did, my peers have the same account as me and they enjoy it too, and I continue to recommend it to mature friends turning 18 needing a bank account for work, etc.

Good.

No problems whatsoever. Purdue Fed employees are wonderful, and my Student Checking has been flawless.

The student account makes it easy to keep track of my finances and makes banking one less thing to worry about as a college student.
 

Great services and an overall enjoyable experience.

Very good service.
 

I've always felt like you guys have cared about me when I come in with problems, and the problems that I've ran into have been minimal!

Easy and hassle free. Responsive too.
 

Love this bank!

Awesome.

The Checking Account works great, especially when combined with the Online Banking.

Easy to use, very user friendly online services.

Good product.

Excellent services.

Good.

Great bank.
