Pants On Fire
They really ought to mix things upwhen they write their own reviews. Why are the only positive reviews a) from folks who lwant to talk how theyve been with the bank since they were kids b) babble about how "seamless" on-line bankins is and c) think we care that their tellers recognize some kid by name.
Clearly one person writing multiple reviews. What a job description that one must have.
The Worst!
I wish I could pick no stars...they financed our car OK great..told my husband to take a loan to fix our credit..OK did that. Being military I lost my job during a pcs move so I held off on the loan and only made car payments But I guess the bank can decide where my payment went. They only put it on the loan So one morning 0400 some one knocked on my door and took my car. The bank after Talking to me for 2 years about accounts that were only in my husbands name finally Said nope we can't talk to you sorry, but they did for 2 years? They would help me they wouldn't do anything I sent them a poa that was done in military attorneys office stamped sealed the whole 9 yards , and the lady Amy Stevens said his signature didn't match..so they still wouldnt talk to me.what a way to treat a customer of 9 years a family a militray soldier. This bank and the people stand for nothing in my mind . Soldiers stay away from this bank
Great Bank With No Fees!
I have been a member of Service Credit Union since I became an adult 15 years ago. Since the 1990s I have been nothing but thrilled with this bank. Their fees are minimal. I don’t pay any type of checking account or savings account fees at all and I have free use of all SCU ATMs. If I use another ATM, I do pay a $2.00 fee which is minimal as I rarely have the need to do that. I have been very happy with my debit card and have had very few issues other than forgetting my PIN. Any time I have visited a branch the tellers have been very warm and welcoming. Most of them seem to recognize you after a few times of going there. I have also called to inquire at various times about services and the phone number always allows you to reach a person who can help. Internet banking is smooth. I am a very satisfied customer!
UNPROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEE
I have recently moved up here to NH and started an account with Service Credit Union. I mostly do my banking online but when I need to go to the bank I go to the location in Walmart. I have NEVER experienced the unprofessionalism in a bank like there is here. There is an emplyee named that has the worst mouth and such a poor attitude about other Service Credit Union branch employees. For one she gets too personal with account holders. She has given out information on other peoples accounts to other account holders. This type of service has reflected my opinion on going with another bank, as I DO NOT want my information shared or talked about with other people. That is nobody else's business but MINE!!
