Change In Terms Of Add-On Cds
1st United CU had Add-On CDs allowing for unlimited add-ons during the term of the CD. Then suddenly, without warning and in my case, without any notice, when an earlier CD came due and we sought to transfer funds to a later maturing 3% CD we were informed that as of October 2, 2020, Add-Ons would be limited to $10,000. Interestingly as late as July 2, 2020, we had all received notices that unlimited Add-Ons up to $250,000 were permitted to all CDs with the Add-On feature. But no similar email or written notice was sent until a request was made 30 days before maturity of the CD to transfer funds on maturity to the CD with the next longest maturity. This appears to be a tactic that is used more and more by credit unions. I am currently in a dispute with them.
They Don’T Take Care Of Customers
They didn’t return money I lost due to unauthorized use of my atm card because I filed the claim too late
I never received a new atm card in the mail and they never informed me I could get one made the same day at a branch
They take forever to release holds on money I deposited which has left me in a bind more than once including while traveling
I’ll be taking my business elsewhere for numerous other reasons but as someone living paycheck to paycheck I simply cannot count on this credit union
