Problems with Midfirst Bank?

[meatGrinder]

Without going into detail me and my wife have experienced extremely poor service from Midfirst, a bank that we have been with for 10+ years. From what I understand, we aren't the only ones who have had issues with their business practices. When we pressed them, we mentioned our dedication to them and the fact that we have given them our business for so long, and they effectively shrugged their shoulders and said "Tough".
We told them today that we will be closing our account with them and joining a local credit union.
Anyone here recommend a local credit union over a bank?
Any advice, ideas?
Thanks.

I had a lot of issues with the bureaucracy way back in '04-'05. Haven't been back except when shopping for a mortgage in '07, at which point their rate and fees were both significantly higher than the next highest offer. Been with Legacy Bank since 2007 and haven't had a single issue.

I know people who've had issues with them, but I've had an account with them for 20 years with no issues of note--and they have branches all over the OKC metro area (including two in Norman, and one of them is on the east side of town!). I've also heard good things about Communications Credit Union, but I've not dealt with them myself.

Just make sure whichever CU you choose is an ATM Zone member--then you get free use of other CU's ATMs (as long as they're also ATM Zone members) in Oklahoma. http://www.atmzone.com/

There are actually two on the East side, Campus corner and one on Main St.

I use them. I've been very happy with them since I left Midfirst.

I used to work for MidFirst in the early days of my IT career. They have grown a lot since then. Personally, I would take a credit union any day over a bank.
