Correction To Review Re: Posting Order
5 stars - CLN - Monday, May 2, 2011 - 11:23 AM

The previous review is not correct. Altra posts credit before debits. All ACH credits are posted first, then debits. Checks that come in for a particular day are cleared in numeric order at the end of that business day. We do everything possible to give the member most advantageous posting order.

The only exception is Debit card PIN purchases or ATM withdrawals are posted as they occur and a check cashed at one of our branches will clear immediately.

If the member would like to discuss, please stop in or call our Member Service center. We'd be happy to discuss further.

P.S. The comment system would not let me reply to the previous review or post this without a star rating - I am not trying to skew the ratings!
