BECU credit union - Renton (WA)

Oleksandr Liekhov Today I was at the bank, very good people work there. I had a delay and the staff very politely helped me solve my problem, thank you very much

Scott Thorkelson Mike was a pleasure to talk with. I set up an initial meeting, and he spent about 30 minutes going over my finances with me—where I’m at now and where I want to be. After our conversation, he explained that while he could provide some additional insights, I was already on a good path. What stood out most was his honesty: instead of pushing me toward his services, he encouraged me to continue saving on my own since that would benefit me more. It’s rare to find someone in this industry who prioritizes your best interest over a sale, and I truly appreciate that. I highly recommend reaching out to Mike if you’re looking for trustworthy financial guidance. Thank you for your time Mike!

Cynthia J Hurn I dropped into the office without an appointment on Tuesday at 9:30am seeking help to fill in my SS pension application. I brought all my paperwork and photo IDs, so I wouldnt waste anyones time, including my own. I also brought a book to read in case there was a long line ahead of me. The office was easy to find, had plenty of parking, appeared clean and well organised with about 10 chairs in the waiting space, 3 glassed-in mini offices providing sound privacy, and a simple system of checking in and getting a ticket. The restrooms were conveniently next to the reception desk and were clean and properly stocked. There were four people ahead of me and I waited only 10 or 15 minutes for my number to be called. Ginger, at window 3, gave me great service with genuine warmth and professionalism. I actually enjoyed the whole encounter as we shared several laughs while Ginger answered my questions and completed my form online. Before 15 minutes passed, she had my application all finished and an email awaited me when I got home, acknowledging that my application had been received and was in the system. Good job done! Before going to Port Angeles, I had read some dispiriting reviews for all Social Security offices within reasonable traveling distance of my home. None of the locations were rated any better than the others, so I chose the one closest to me, an hours drive away. Well, I couldnt fault a single thing about my visit - leaving me wondering if the people who leave negative reviews are those having a really bad day and who take it out on government staff. People who have a good experience like mine, probably arent so motivated to write a review. Unfortunately I believe many find its easier to criticize than to give praise when its earned. Honestly, the Port Angeles staff fully deserved a five-star rating and Im happy to recommend this office to anyone. If you go there, you will be assisted by friendly, helpful and efficient staff who really care about doing a good job for their customers. Come in with a book or screen game to entertain you if you have to wait; make sure you have all your necessary papers and IDs with you; and when youre called up to the window, tell them you just read a 5-star review about their great service. Youll have them smiling at once and will soon be walking out the door with all your SSI needs resolved.

Dennis D. Hull Being a recipient of government benefits had me concerned about my eligibility for a bad credit loan from a benefits direct lender. To my surprise, this company not only approved my application swiftly but also provided flexible repayment options. Now, I can manage my debts responsibly and embark on the journey to rebuild my credit.

Lara Hansen Helped me find health insurance in the Washington Health Plan Finder and assisted me finding Dental and Vision as well!
