Behind the times
My experience with Atlanta Postal Credit Union has been very mixed, to say the least. The app and website are both rather cumbersome to use, and it's very frustrating to get a hold of customer service since they work regular hours and not much beyond that. When I had an issue with my account (my joint account owner took a large sum of money without informing me and I was trying to figure out what happened), APCU was very unresponsive to my questions. The savings account doesn't have that great of an interest rate, either. Since I have moved away from the Atlanta area, it has been very difficult to keep up with this account. I finally ended up closing my APCU account after several years of having a savings account with them. It just wasn't worth it anymore with how inconvenient it was. Keep your money somewhere where it's more convenient to bank online and get a hold of someone if there's an issue.
Slow Customer Service
It seems like no one knows whats going on. I simply wanted to change my pin number since a pin was pre assigned. No one could tell me the number. Then i was told i would have to wait 7 business days to get the pin mailed to me. After that luckily someone told me i could change the pin by calling 1866-297-3411. I called the number and the message asked for my 16 digit account number then said it was incorrect and "tried" to connect me to a person i waited 30 mins hung up called back 1 hour later waited another 30 mins hung up called back the next day waited 7 mins. And then the person who picked up told me to call the number i just called. I told her that number directed me to call. She says well your supposed to just follow the directions. I told her i did but it gave me a error. Then she said the other place im supposed to direct you to is closed but i can give you the number to call tommorow. Really.... Im thinking. I ask her is there anything she can do i need access to my money. Then she says im not sure why its giving you an error you gave me the correct card number. Then i tell her it adk me for my account number not card number. And of course that's the problem.
The Worst
The worst I've ever dealt with hands down. My cards been hacked over 4 times over the years. I cannot get any response from my tickets or messages. They have charged over 140.00 in fees. I'm closing my account and I will not recommend this place..All mail carriers warned me about getting an account here. Now I know why.
Would Not Recommend
My daughter has been trying to make a payment on her account for two days, Gets put in voicemail and never return the call. I thought I would help her out because of her hours and they won't let me make a payment on her acct. Online is useless! I wouldn't suggest this credit union unless you live in Atlanta.
