Banking
First Community Bank
Formerly First State Bank, with branches throughout New Mexico, twelve in ABQ alone. They have checking options, from basic to interest-earning, each with different benefits and/or fees.
New Mexico Educators Federal Credit Union (NMEFCU)
When you’re a kid, coins and bills seem like a fun game you want to play more of. As an adult, you realize you ought to not let children play with your money, and you seek out a responsible credit institution to deposit the flimsy paper you receive for all your hard work.
Sandia Labs Federal Credit Union (SLFCU)
If your mom, dad, aunt, uncle, or best friend works at Sandia Labs, do your damnedest to get in. Members stay in for life, regardless of who works for the Labs. Free checking, amazing rates, impeccable customer service, and locations galore (since they’re part of the Federal Credit Union Co-op) make SLFCU the only bank you will ever need to finance your car, mortgage your house, and save for retirement, even if you move to, like, California.
US NM Federal Credit Union (USNMFCU)
Like SLFCU, ATMs and seamless banking abound. No deposit or withdrawal slips saves time and paper. Love on their unswerving and transparent commitment to our community, from easy account setup to credit-building accounts, payday loans with low interest rates.
