Boeing Employees Credit Union

Going The Extra Mile
- patrick51 - Sunday, March 13, 2011 - 11:12 AM

The tellers and management at BECU have always gone the extra mile for me and my friends i have referred to them. A friend of mine purchased a vehicle from Oregon the loan included the tax and licensing fee's. The car dealer kept the fees and refused to turn them over to to Washington state like they were suppose to. BECU loan department payed the tax and licensing for the vehicle and they went and recovered the money from the car dealer. Two thumbs up for the employees of BECU. thanks Patrick

One Of The Best Credit Unions
- jdb - Wednesday, May 9, 2012 - 6:58 AM

I have to say that BECU is one of the best credit unions. I live in Cincinnati, Ohio and do all my business with BECU via the web. The on-line access is great and you can do pretty much everything via the Internet. If I have to go to a branch, I have a shared branch close to me. I can do electronic deposits by scanning a check on my home scanner and even do a deposit on-line. If I need help, I make a phone call and they are always very helpful.

Recently I set-up savings accounts for each of my grandchildren and I can move funds from my accounts to the grandkids accounts on-line, simply and easily.

I wish more credit unions were like BECU.

Great Place To Do Buisness

Boeing Emplyees Credit Union is great credit union.  I have banked through multiple other banks before I finally found a place that I was happy with and realized that a credit union is way better then any bank. They have some of the best rates on checkings and savings accounts.  The tellers are always freindlly and they respect your time by getting out of there as soon as possible.  Another great benefit is there atm's do not cost you anything, that is rare.  One drawback of this is there is not enough of the atms around, but if you know where they are ahead of time you will be fine.  I have also done two car loans through them and was extremly satisfied with the entire process.  All in all Boeing Employees Credit Union is a great place to leave your money, you will be happy and you don't even need to work for Boeing to bank there.

BECU Is The Best!
- javagoddess - Thursday, May 26, 2011 - 12:40 AM

I was lucky enough to be able to bank with BECU before they went public, since my father retired from Boeing after many years. I had previously had very negative experiences with banks, from simple incompetence to greed all the way to having bank managers actually lie to me regarding my account. When I switched to BECU, I was shocked and pleased at how efficient, well trained, friendly and eager to help all the employees are and have continued to be. I won't bank with a regular "bank" ever again.

BECU HOME RENOVATION LOAN
- MIKELEE - Tuesday, April 30, 2013 - 7:17 PM

Terrible customer support.  Takes a long time for them to return your calls or E-mails.  The management team that approves your loan.  Does not believe anything you say.  Totally unsatisfied with their services. 

The $9 Billion Stalker

I guess the first time you are violated is always the worst. I will avoid the dark alleys where the creeps of BECU stalk their victims. The very sage advice I got from the last BECU guy I spoke to (Bigwig) is don't have both your checking account and credit card with BECU. I will follow this and get a checking account elsewhere.

Maybe credit unions shouldn't hire long time bankers for high positions. It appears that at least one Bigwig is bringing Bank of America and Seafirst practices to directly bear on their work at BECU. Credit Unions are supposed to more about the members than the money, as BECU's motto claims. Maybe you should hire people who are not typical greedy bankers, who only do typical greedy banker things like stalking somebody's checking account to grab whatever measly amount happens to be deposited in there. That money was a gift to me to help me through a rough period. It is despicable to stalk somebody until you see they have a little bit of money and then mug them and take every last dime. 


BECU needs to bring in some compassionate financial personnel, if such people exist, and set up strong guidelines for when you go into someone's checking account. Taking a person's survival money will do nothing but generate pain extreme animosity. I used to love BECU until I saw their dark malevolent side.   

Is all this worth the 270 bucks you stole, creeps? I even pointed out to Bigwig that BECU has already spent way more than this just in his time on the phone with me, which he confirmed.  I was greatly insulted when he told me he could appreciate what I was going through...what a load of crap. I am sure that, as the privileged person he is, he has never been close to being able to appreciate this. Doesn't BECU have any bean counters to determine that although you have the "right" to do certain ugly things to your account holders, it is not in your PR or financial interest to do so? Also, do you not smell what's cooking all over the world in regards to large financial institutions, post-recession?

The only BECU person who has displayed an ounce of common sense and integrity, is the front line person dealing with my vitriol for BECU. I apologize for the possibly true but perhaps unwarranted insults my first email contained. This person correctly understood from the start that my anger was not with them and responded appropriately each time. Perhaps empathy had something to do with it.

BEWARE OF THEIR MASTER APPLICATION- IT NEVER CLOSES!
- Anonymous - Wednesday, February 1, 2012 - 5:36 PM

My husband signed a master business application when he cosigned a car loan when our kid was a teen. We were not told that a master application gave him access to our credit line and lasts for seven years! We found that out the hard way; which neither our son nor we were told. That was paid off and 2 years later he applies for a credit card online. OF COURSE THEY GAVE HIM A CARD with $5K LIMIT! BECU they sent him a card with out our knowledge, and our name on the account but not the card! Even when the bill came it did not have my husband's name on it!!!! It was tied to our credit line without us knowing that every thing our son requested as far as loans and credit cards was tied to our credit EVEN after the original loan was paid off!!!! Once we realized it we went to BECU and demanded to be removed and destroy the master app, which they said they did. They canceled the application but not the account, which I said I wanted both done-whatever it took!!!!! After I was perfectly clear we in no way were to be tied to our sons credit and vice-versa. They told me is was taken care of. However they continued his credit card with my husbands name on it. They never shut it down or transferred the balance as we all requested! Even when the card was a zero balance!!! My son had gone with me to BECU, KIRKLAND to change his card and we were told it was done, then 2 years later I receive a collection notice!!!!!!!!, when the card was paid off, they did not closed it. They just sent him a new card!!!!! He assumed it was a different account since the account number was changed, wouldn't you? but NO it was the same account!!!!!! NOW we can not get a good rate on our mortgage!!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE HAVE BEEN VIOLATED IN THIS CREDIT CRUNCH BY BECU KIRKALND BRANCH- WITH THE SAME MANAGER... BEWARE WHAT THEY TELL YOU MAY NOT BE TRUE THEY WILL NEVER OWN UP TO THEIR MISTAKES
