Good Experience
I have banked with American Heritage since 2010. Even when I moved cross country, I was able to make deposits and withdraws at a shared branch that was near by so we stayed with them. When our account was hacked, they were the ones who noticed and send me a text immediately. They were able to investigate and decline the charge before it even posted to our account- I was very happy with how that was handled. Their mobile app is great and not only allows me to check my balances in all of my accounts, but it also allows me to transfer money between my accounts, pay bills and even check my credit score. I have had nothing but good experiences with this bank.
Love my credit union
I have had a checking account with American Heritage for about 6 years. The account is free every month as long as I make 2 transactions during the month. I do most of my banking online, but have been satisfied with the environment and attitude of employees on the occasions I have visited a branch. Generally speaking the online experience is acceptable, although the website is a bit more difficult to navigate compared to other banks I have had accounts with. I have tried to access the online chat feature several times, but found it unavailable. Apparently it is available only during normal business hours.
360 Day EWP
A little surprised this was listed with its Easy Membership rating under 5 year CDs. Anyone offering a good rate with a full year's penalty is bad news, IMHO.
