"After being a member of the credit union for over 30 years I kept my membership after recently retiring from NextEra Energy and moving to Texas. I was concerned that I needed to move on from the credit union but it is not the case. The shared branch concept works well; the electronic mobile deposit is very convenient and I still keep in contact with some of the super star advisors for banking services, including Melody, Dymphna and Sheri. I am very pleased with my on-going relationship with Power Financial…all the way out here in Texas! Thanks team, you’re awesome."
