TechCU saved my ass last year.  And saved my bank account roughly $1500.  

I'm on my way home from visiting a friend in San Jose and need gas.  I go to the pump, swipe my ATM card and it's declined.  It's midnight.  I need gas.  I go to another station across the street.  Try again...no dice.  So I pay cash and I'm on my merry way.  I get home, crash out and decide to call my bank the next day.

Get to work and call my bank.  They say my account has a security hold put on it because of purchases I made.  I look at my account online and there's three purchases made in COMPTON, CA.  

You heard that right.  Compton.  

Did I mention I live in the Bay Area?  

Not only were there purcahses made in Compton, but they were at Best Buy.   For the amount of about $500 each.  

Obviously I didn't make these purchases.  I go to the TechCU branch in Fremont and tell them I need to file a fraud claim.  They were awesome about this.  Fill out a form, sign it and they had the money back in my account the same day.   Same freaking day.  Kickass.

I didn't even have to cross my heart and hope to die.

Out of curiousity, I called the Best Buy store and asked them what "I" had purchased.  

Three Playstation 3 consoles.

The least they could have done is bought some Wii's.  

Their staff is always friendly and their web resources are great.  I can do anything that the big banks can do online; transfer funds, arrange online bill pay, order checks etc.  

Minus one star for still requiring an envelope for deposits though.
