    I have been banking at this Credit Union for thirty four years and have always been satisfied with the customer service, loan rates and online banking, however they changed the online banking feature and took away many of the conveniences that were offered before making it much more difficult to do transactions between my business and personal account. The response from their technical officer is that "it must be my computer". To change the system and then blame the customer for internal system problems is less than professional and blame shifting for a poor transition to a new system. I will be banking elsewhere in the future!

    Response from the owner

    We are sorry to hear the new Online Banking has been giving you trouble. We certainly don't expect our employees to make you feel as you did when you called about the issues you experienced. Our VP of Operations will be reaching out shortly to discuss further.

    Mrs. Patti is always such a sweetheart. She always has a smile on her face & is personable & genuine when we come inside. She really cares about the customers. We just love her ❤. Thank you Mrs. Patti for always welcoming us & asking how our family is; you truly are amazing at what you do.

    Response from the owner

    Ms. Patti has been an icon at the Alvin branch for many years, and definitely an asset. She has a genuine smile, and always available to assist in customer service. The clerks at the counter are great, but Ms. Patti is the reason I would rather do walk in, instead of your convenient drive through service.

    Response from the owner

    We are happy to serve you, Mr. Dunn!

    Every time I go into Chocolate Bayou Credit Union, I am greeted by Patti. She is always so sweet and always has a smile on her face and always asks me how I am doing. Everyone is so professional and I feel at home in this Credit Union. I have been banking here for at least 18 years and have never had any complaints.

    Response from the owner

    Thank you for your kinds words, Ms. Bembry! We are happy to have you!

    The staff is always welcoming and friendly! I would like to see the mobile app updated. It is extremely behind the rest of the banking apps. Being that most people use online these days It would be a great benefit to CBCFCU to invest some money to update the mobile banking app.

    Response from the owner

    Thank you for sharing, Ms. Johnson. We actually have a new mobile app and home banking product coming this year! We hope you will like the upgrades.

    The first person I see is Patty, she loves her job and it really shows, always so pleasant and fashionable. I've always had an excellent experience with tellers and loan officers taking care of my needs in a professional and timely manner. Today Luisa Rodriguez was my loan officer and she did an expert job even convinced me to move my current auto loan to Chocolate Bayou saving me money on my current interest rate. Overall great experience today!

    Response from the owner

    Wonderful, Ms. Baker! We are so happy to hear you've had pleasant experiences and we're saving you money! Thank you for sharing!

    Most recently things have been awesome ! I have been treated with respect and shown courtesy by an employee that took the time to take her time ! She made sure to maintain my privacy by closing the door when I was on speaker phone and that gesture alone made me want to stand up and salute this woman ! That privacy issue had been trampled upon at a different date and I was not amused ! The first person you see or speak to usually is Patti and since she has been employed there it is like a breath of fresh air upon entering the facility !! She is awesome ! She is professional, pleasant, eager to help, and she is genuine ! You can rest assured that if she asks you how you are doing and or how one of your family members are doing you can know that she asked because SHE TRULY CARES ! She listens and pays attention ! She is truly a dedicated employee !!! She is a “home” girl and everyone knows her and her family and knows also how dedicated she is to family, as well as to her friends and her “work” family. She always has a smile and takes the time to make sure your reason for the visit is taken care of in a timely manner and keeps you abreast of your wait time . Patti exudes the type of receptionist skills and attitude that any employer would or at least should walk through the desert in order to give her a position in their workforce !

    Response from the owner

    Thank you for sharing! We are happy to provide a pleasant experience during your visits.

    I just recently opened an account and am looking forward to making them my primary bank. The staff is always kind and very accurate. Especially Mrs. Luisa Rodriguez and Mrs. Patti as well for going the extra mile to setting me up as well as before I was a member giving my mom stickers for my daughter just out of the kindness of her heart. And Mrs. Luisa put my mind at ease I. Regards to all my account questions. I highly recommend setting up with this branch in particular not just for convenience but with staff that actually treats someone like family and not a number. Ismael Mejia

    Response from the owner

    How wonderful! We love to hear this! Thank you, Mr. Mejia!

    Racist establishment. Watch the video with the terrible employee being extremely rude and racist. Since when do you have to verbalize your address? Get it together

    Response from the owner

    That video is from years ago, and that employee no longer works here. Please contact Stacie, our VP of Operations, with more details about this issue at (281) 331-3700.

    This is an ok place to use for small banking. This is NOT the place to use for Business Banking. This is NOT the place to use for loans. This is NOT the place to use for reliable services. If you venture OUTSIDE of Alvin Texas, you will find that there is a banking world full of MUCH BETTER opportunities. This a very frustrating bank to use. The best part about this bank was Patti, the greeter. This bank scams its members and runs shady loan practices. I have banked with them for over 15 years and I constantly regret it. I have held a cc with them and for longevity purposes, chose to keep it open. I have decided to cut my losses and lose the headache. If your goal in life is to slowly fade away in Alvin Texas, then, this is the bank for you. If you plan on going places in life with your business, I would suggest looking elsewhere. They treat you as if they are constantly doing you a favor by existing. when really, they're more of headache than they are worth their weight in gold. They make transaction incredibly difficult. This is an ugly place to do business and they will treat you just like a number. Not a member. The business development of this bank is similar to the business development of Alvin Texas. Your money interest rate will grow at the same rate of growth as the city of Alvin. One gas station and one chilis every 20 years...

    Response from the owner

    We are sorry our service was not up to your satisfaction. Our VP Operations will try to contact you at your number on file, so we can get further details from you. Thank you.

    Receptionist Patti is wonderful! She always has a smile and greets you by name. That means a lot in this age of technology. We have always had great experiences dealing with Chocolate Bayou, including Gayleen, Rachel J., Tiffany and the cashier staff. Everyone there does a fantastic job!

    We appreciate you leaving such a nice review! We hope to continue providing you great experiences!

    Well, to begin with, Chocolate is incredibly convenient! Also, the staff is always pleasant and helpful. (Even when I forget my account number!) With the exception of how they do their antique car loans, they have met all of my needs. A great place to "bank!"

    Response from the owner

    Thank you for the kind words and feedback! We are happy to call you a member!

    We have been members of CBCFCU for I believe 20+ years, the staff have always been professional and courteous. I do most of my banking online or through the drive-thru however, when I do get to or need to go into the Alvin Branch it is always a pleasure to be greeted by Patti with her warm smile and genuine desire to help and make you feel welcome. She is a true asset to the Credit Union.

    Response from the owner

    Thank you, Ms. Hoover! We appreciate your kind words, and we are so happy to assist you with your financial needs!

    I have been a member of Chocolate Bayou Credit Union for approximately 35yrs. We have been very pleased with the customer service with all the employees and of course saving money be it with low interest loans or interest on our savings. But the best thing and our favorite thing about the credit union is Patti, that happy and sweet smile that meets me every time I walk into the bank. Southern charm and friendliness. Don't ever let her go!

    Response from the owner

    Thank you for sharing! This was awesome to read. We are happy you are a member with us!

    Staff was professional, helpful, and extremely efficient when I went to open a savings account and apply for a credit card. Especially Patti, she had the best attitude and maintained a high level of professionalism when she was giving me direction and information. She is probably the sweetest lady I have ever met, give that woman a raise!

    Response from the owner

    Thank you for sharing! Patti is a wonderful asset to the Credit Union, and we know it!

    When you first walk in, there is Patti with a smile and greeting. She seems to know everyone's name! The loan officers are friendly and very helpful. The only reason I didn't give five stars, because almost everytime I come in there are new tellers. They don't seem to stay very long. Other then this, I trust them with my business

    Response from the owner

    We hope we are providing you great service, even if you don't recognize the tellers. We prefer to promote from within, so unfortunately, some of the best tellers leave the teller department. We are happy to hear you trust us. Thank you for sharing!

    What can I say, you always leave with a smile. Patti is the kindest most thoughtful person I have ever had the pleasure to meet. She always asks about the entire family and the grand kids. Chocolate Bayou Bank is blessed to have someone like Patti . I think she needs the title and pay as manager the bank would not be what it is.

    Response from the owner

    Thank you for sharing! We are very proud of Patti and all that she brings to the Credit Union!

    I absolutely love this place. The staff is amazing. I've had several bad experiences with banks throughout my life. But once I switched to this credit union, not one bad experience. My account has been hacked before and had 0 issues resolving it as opposed the the same thing happening at the banks I use to bank at. I have never been treated bad here. Truly an amazing place. Would recommend them to anyone and everyone!!

    Thank you very much for leaving such a wonderful review. We appreciate the time you took to share! We are very pleased to have you a part of our family. We hope to continue meeting these high expectations we've set for many years to come!

    There is nothing like walking in and being greeted by Patti, she brightens my day every time I go in. Also loved the Shared Branching capabilities! I live outside of College Station but still keep my account at Chocolate Bayou and can do everything at my Shared Branch location without driving to Alvin! Great Option!

    There is a sweet beautiful lady at the front entrance of the Alvin Branch who address everyone coming and exiting the bank by name. This makes me feel important and the bank like our business. You might ask who am I talking about? Her name is Patty it is a pleasure to see her and sometimes I make a point to stop by the bank to see how she is doing. She break the ice when customers come to the tellers for help. We do appreciate all of your bank staff for all of our needs at this location. Also thank you for the updates to the bank. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

    Response from the owner

    This was very sweet, and we will certainly share with Patti! Thank you for sharing! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
