“Stanford FCU helped me numerous times as a college student when traveling for internships, research, and study abroad. Rather than having to (unsafely) take out large sums of money at the ATM to avoid fees and worry about the cash getting lost/stolen, I could travel safely knowing that SFCU would reimburse my international ATM fees. This allowed me to take out more reasonable sums of money at a time. Coupled with no international transaction fees, my travels were always seamless!” —Luke Miller
