★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If I could give 0 star I would.
Katy Holland doesn't answer calls or emails and never calls you back very poor service, I think I'm going to move banks because of such bad service. It's been 2 weeks and she said it would take a couple of buisness days still haven't heard from her. Despite my multiple messages left on her voicemail and with front desk people.
Never again will I step into first Calgary other then to switch banks!!!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My wife and I have been going through the home selling/buying process and we have been feeling the stress! Thanks to Miguel Venexen, after a one on one consultation with him, we felt like a ton of bricks had been lifted off our shoulders! Miguel actually proved he cared and worked in our best interest to figure out a solution that would work best for us! He introduced us to the branch manager who was also lovely and made us feel welcome and taken care of! The single best experience I have ever had at a financial institution! Highly reccomended!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I was looking to open up an account and was struggling to get an appointment at the large banks. Norah from Connect First was able to set me up quickly and walk me through the process. Great friendly service.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ When it comes to banking First Calgary is my first choice.
I have always enjoy not only doing online banking but actually going to their branches too, everybody is always friendly and caring and happy to help.
Special kudos to Miguel Venexen who has been our banking representative for a long time now, we can always count with his advise and prompt response, always happy to help in a personable and friendly manner, because of him and the rest of the team at First Calgary, when we are at the branch we are with friends, we are home.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Branch manager is a fraud. Called me for an interview and said he gave the job to his ex co worker and offered me to be an assistant for the position I applied for at half the wage. Stay away from KINDY. He needs to be investigated. He is using his power and influence to corrupt the system!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ All the same services and products of a major bank and more...
I moved many years ago to connect first and have saved thousands of dollars for doing so. From no fees account, mortages, investments etc this branch has been there to provide professional, courteous, sound financial products and service.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very cool concept of a free bank. It is true that they do not charge you any fees for day to banking and you can use your debit card as much as you want without fees. The only problem that I have had at this credit union is getting other bank product like an RDSP properly managed. I just lost quite a bit of money because a teller did not inform me of some technicalities during a transaction hence two stars. I am disappointed. Otherwise the credit union has been a godsend with their no fee structure.
