Does Not Offer ACH

Posted by: |

Does not offer ACH - you must wire in money and they charge $3 for incoming wires.  Outgoing wires are $12.  Reduces their APY somewhat.  Not great service in my opinion.

Identity Protection Offered By Credit Union

Posted by: |

Recently I was informed by credit union provider of identity protection my coverage had been cancelled. When I ask the representative with Identity Secure who authorized the cancellation I was told to contact the financial institution where I purchased the service. I contacted the credit union and spoke to a representative regarding the cancellation without my authorization and why the fee for service was still being deducted from my account. The representative would not provide the information I requested. I commend the credit union for refunding the fees, however I believe there is a communication problem between the credit union and identity protection provider.

Worst Company I Have Ever Dealt With

Posted by: |

My ex-wife transferred one of our car loans here to save a few bucks on our car payment. When it came time to pay the car off, they just kept charging us and would not send us the title. I had to make many many phone calls and fight with them for months to get it taken care of. I don't know how this company stays in business with such horrible service. They are rude and don't like to get anything done.
