ACU Works For You!
#1) I talk to real people. Smart people. People to whom I can relate.
#2) My valuable time is not wasted by inefficient IVR and impersonal call center processes. When I call, I am immediately routed to someone who can help. And if they can't, they transfer me - quickly - to someone who can.
#3) Decisions are made quickly, logically, and contextually.
#4) Creative financial services options - far superior to any I've seen with a big bank.
#5) They play fair. Rates are reasonable, and I feel like we're in a proper business relationship - they're of course profiting from me, but they're not bleeding me dry.
pleased customer
I have been pleased so far with the service that I have received from America's Credit Union. I opened a checking account with them because they had a very enticing promotion. They give you $100 for opening a checking account if you set up direct deposit. I thought this was great deal because my employer offers direct deposit. The account has been very convenient for me in accessing my money with 24 hour access to my account. When I first opened the account I called customer service to ask some questions. They were very pleasant and were able to answer all of my questions. I have not had any random fees show up on my account. They also have a service called "the christmas club". This is a clever way to save money for the holidays. It is an account that is set up to help you save and when the holiday season comes around they mail you a check so that you are able to do your holiday shopping. Overall great financial institution.
America's Credit Union - Gets the job done.
I have overall had a very positive experience with America's Credit Union. That being said I never really gave America's Credit Union any issues either. Their fees (when there were any) were reasonable as I know banks are a business too and need to make money to pay employees and make a profit. I had to call customer service a couple of times to remove random charges from account but they were extremely helpful and never once gave me any more trouble than is to be expected. To go into more detail about this experience, I randomly had a $50.00 charge to my checking account (not a lot I know but still, money I didn't spend) so I called their call center and of course had to get through the automation and whatnot at the beginning. But eventually I got on with a real person and told them the situation. They saw that the charge came from a service I do not use regularly and then removed the charge and even said that in the event it happened again they'd both replace my money and refund me the amount charged on top of that. So to finish, I don't have any complaints and will continue my service.
A look at America's Credit Union
What can I really say about ACU? I haven't had any major negative issues with ACU in my experience, but something about the bank just feels a bit cold. Most of my experiences with their employees have been kind of bland and very boring. Their customer service over the phone is kind of aloof and off putting, almost like talking to a computer most of the time. Other than that though, the bank is quite efficient and I have had no problems with it from a technical standpoint. Their website functions almost perfectly, and I have had no issues with my account in terms of security or convenience. If you're looking for a bank that does what it's suppose to do, but no much else, then this bank is perfect. Their rates and fees are pretty standard and reasonable. Although their customer service is lacking in soul, I do feel a sense of security and ease with this bank which is why I continue to use it. I feel safe and I can trust this bank.
