Just joined last month. Great CD rates. Had to complete a paper application, but customer service has been strong so far.
Their process to open an account online is still a little cumbersome. After completing your application, they send you an email where you have to log into their secure email to get your account # and then use that to access your account. It's a small hassle. You also have to fund the account with a debit card for the $5 to open your share account. After that, you can open and fund a money market or CD account with money you ACH in from your other bank. It's nothing once you get the hand of it. CU are always a little different than banks because you are a shareholder, not just a customer.
I have been a member of the Advancial Credit Union for over 10 years. I have relied on this Credit Union for a variety of financial products. It all started with a small deposit into a money market account. I would occasionally deposit money into this account, and tried to keep up with it. Later, I began using their checking account and a CD. I love the people and the helpful service. They are a great credit union.
This is a primitive credit union. No online money transfers/ACH permitted until account has aged. If want to receive monthly CD interest, it is via mailed check only. Initial deposit for CD is via check or wire only; linking external accounts not available. Opening a savings account is mandatory for a CD. Will have to visit a bank location to open an account. Ask all your questions while at the branch; is a 10-15 minute wait on hold to speak with someone on the phone. Few consistent answers between branch and phone representatives.
