About this business

In 1955, we started in a one-room barrack at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base with the mission to help Tucson’s airmen and their families. Back then, known as DMAFB Federal Credit Union we served a little under 600 Members and had less than $60,000 in assets. By the end of the '60s, we had grown to nearly 14 thousand Members, sowing the seeds for the rapid growth we would see in future decades. Vantage West got its current name in August of 2006, when we converted from a federal to a state charter. In 2010 and again in 201... read more

I had a pretty neutral/leaning on not satisfactory situation initially when some fraudulent charges started showing up on my account. HOWEVER, that being said, I have incurred further issues with my account, and the representative, ***** ******, that I spoke with today was extremely knowledgeable and great at her job! She listened to everything I said was going on (multiple issues) and then she calmly and methodically took care of all of my issues with the account and ABSOLUTELY MADE MY DAY!!! Keep hiring people like ****** ... read more

I've been with them since 2005. I've had 3 auto loans and a checking account with them. In the past their only location was ****** or ************* (40 min for me to get to a branch). But they offered a good rate, were friendly and helped me when I needed, usually the same day. In the last year they opened and immediately closed a branch closer to me. And their service is lacking. I'm trying to buy a new car and applied for a loan on Tuesday. I sent them all my paperwork and all the dealerships paperwork on Wednesday. It is ... read more

************************* I did open business account online with $100 deposit. I waited for 2 days until someone contacted me. When the representative called me, I was with my client so I could not talked then I told representative to call me back in 15 minutes.. Noone called me back. I had to call them back, another representative couldn't find who handles my account, so I told representative to note in the system that I will be available at 4 pm. Again nobody called me back. I called again to let them know i will withdraw... read more

Their services are actually UNUSABLE. We've been struggling with them for years in every respect. Our account manager takes weeks to get simple tasks done and requires multiple reminder emails, they changed our account number without letting us know and that caused a bunch of issues that were compounded by the fact that their bank statements don't include account numbers - only a worthless member number so no other financial institution knows what to do with it. Wires are ridiculously difficult to use - you have a 3 hour win... read more

My wife wanted to cash in a check that was written out to her. It was a vantage west check. The only problem was that my wife does not have a vantage west account, but I do. When I asked what needed to happen in order to cash her check, they stated she just needed to be there with 2 forms of identification that can confirm that the check is hers and also that I be there since I have the vantage west account . I picked up my wife from work keep in mind she works in a hospital and for one does not have much time to begin with.... read more

We apologize for the experience you encountered, but we are grateful you took the time to make us aware. In reviewing your description, it appears that what we did from a procedural perspective was correct, but it is also apparent that our delivery could have been much better through communication and anticipation of your needs. There is a fee for cashing checks for a non-Member of Vantage West, however we could add your wife to your Membership or we could also enroll her as a primary Member with a refundable $5 deposit (pro... read more

This credit union is a joke. In these times they continue to assess charges without warrant for things that are not even legal. I'm am over Vantage West, all they are is thieves who don't want to support local or assist during COVID. I would never bank here again and would shy anyone away who wants to do business here.

As a community based Member-owned non-profit organization, Vantage West works tirelessly to support the people and businesses in the communities we serve especially during these challenging times.

I don't understand this credit union's tactics. They say they are offering "COVID-19" relief and help but then they won't let you skip a payment or waive late fees when you don't have the money to pay. I missed a credit card payment and they locked my entire account. They wouldn't let me use my debit card or transfer money out of my account. This led to me having my phone and utilities shut off and all they had to say (in regards to "COVID relief") was "when you pay the past due balance, we can unlock the account." This is E... read more
