Affinity Plus gets an A+ from me!

Posted by: |

I have been a member of Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union for 7 years. During that time, I've lived in 3 different states, and have never needed to change my primary account to another institution, because they make it SO EASY to stay connected! I can obviously use direct deposit for my paychecks, but the mobile app has really simplified my life. With it, I can deposit checks into my account, check my balance, find a no-fee ATM, and more. Speaking of fees... there virtually are NONE at Affinity Plus! I found an ATM at another credit union in my neighborhood, so I don't ever have to pay to get my own cash. If I can't find an ATM, there's always the cash-back option at a store using my chip-debit card. I LOVE my credit union, and will more than likely always be a member - no matter what state I live in!

Can Only Fund With Credit Card Or "Plaid"

Posted by: |

The website is nice and live chat is excellent. Tried to sign up for Superior Money Market paying 2%. Unfortunately I can only fund with credit card (via cash advance) or with an app called Plaid. Plaid wants the username and password of your bank. So they don't perform bank transfers in the normal way with only the account number and routing number.

Account Opening Denied

Posted by: |

I saw Affinity Plus listed as offering a 1% APY for a money market account, double what everyone is offering for high yield savings. I don't live in the area so I was going to join by donating to their foundation. When I applied online and submitted a driver's license and Social Security card, I received a notice a few hours later they could not approve me. I then went on video chat and the nice rep said the system just couldn't process my fraud alert but I could apply by paper form with a manual review. I did that but didn't hear back for five days. When I went back on chat I was told they could not approve me again and that they couldn't tell me more except with the letter that is coming in the mail. I've never been denied any bank account or credit card and have no black marks. It's a shame because their denial is keeping me from trying to keep up better with inflation. I'm sure they will ask me to come in person, which I might be able to do in about four months. I'm just going with someone else instead.

Application Declinded?

Posted by: |

I applied for a CD from out-of-state, something I've done many times with many different financial institutions.

I was stunned when I got an email saying "We regret we cannot open your account...We were unable to verify your identity or other personal information."

There was some glitch, and, short of traveling 3,000 miles to appear personally at the credit union, I was told that there was nothing they could do. Very frustrating.

Fortunately, there was something I could do. I opened a CD at Hiway Federal Credit Union where they were extremely helpful.
