Why our members choose us
We need more credit unions like this. Big or small these folks help all. I have been a member a long time and I think we need to remember local markets and local companies don't always have the resources as the big guys. Sometimes its helpful if we take into consideration the mission of credit unions like this and the people they help. Not all times is going to be super easy but I know that its helping My people right here in Rochester NY not helping some equity position far, far away. Thank you for having us as members.

I turn to Genesee Co-op anytime I need financial help. What I love is that they helped me understand the lending process and educated me on financial tools that allow me to secure financing. They helped me get an affordable car loan, open my business, and recently helped with a Paycheck Protection Program loan.

The credit union looks at the things happening in your life and works with you. They know that people don't fail because they are not working on their life. Sometimes things just happen. I would like to get my next mortgage through them. I love them, they just fit my needs.

This little bank is amazing. They treat you like family and genuinely care about your financial help. Best bank I've used.

When I first came to the credit union and talked to one gentleman, he was so amicable and welcomed me with a warm reception. I have stayed solely because of the employees. All of them, without any discrimination are welcoming, friendly, amicable people.

It's important to me to know that my money supports a non-profit, community-based, socially-responsible saving and lending institution. Now more than ever, we need alternatives to the mega-banks that have made such a mess of our economy.

When we moved to Rochester, we heard about Genesee Co-op from friends. We were so happy to find a credit union that shared our values and could help us buy our first home.

As a small business owner I know how important relationships are - unlike other financial institutions Genesee Co-op feels like a community. In 2021 I was able to buy a home with their help.

I had a wonderful experience with this credit union. Everyone from the tellers to the loan officers and even management have been super kind and receptive to my needs. The process itself was incredibly easy and the rates can't be beat.

I joined the credit union because my bank was starting to charge fees for different transactions and setting a minimum amount on how much you had to have in your account. People at the credit union don't wear suits and they're down to earth. When I go there, it's friendly and welcoming.

Genesee gets deep with anyone they’re going to lend to. They listen and support people who are desperate. They have successes that other credit unions are stunned by – but it’s because they take a lot of time to get to know their members. There are no barriers. Genesee creates opportunities for everyone, regardless of who you are.
