Good, not great, Credit Union
I've banked with Carolina Collegiate for at least 18 years now. I'm considering making a change. It seems like every year their fees go up or they add a new weird fee. For instance, for years we would occasionally count on overdrafts from our checking account to come from our savings account. In the last few years, CCU has started charging fees for each transfer. I know I move money over to checking easily enough through the internet, but this is just an example of the nickel and diming that CCU now practices. They've closed one of their two locations, and the crew at the remaining location has turned over recently. New tellers who are not well trained yet. We've got some accounts at Palmetto Citizens, and we've been pleased with their service. It's just such a pain to transfer all our online payments. Grr.
Nice credit union
Carolina Collegiate Federal Credit Union is a typical local credit union in my opinion. I've banked with several credit unions over the years and this one is reasonably good but because of its size it doesn't offer all the services that a larger one would. They also don't pay very much in terms of interest. I've never had a loan with this institution but I've got several savings accounts and have for nearly twenty years. The customer service at the branch I use is very good. I get taken care of very well there and have for many years. However, the customer service at the main branch leaves a lot to be desired. I tried to contact them for help at one point and a week later I was still waiting. The major shortcoming is the lack of services though. What you can do online is limited, as is what you can do over the phone. All in all though, it's a reliable place to do business.
