Friendly local credit union

Posted by: ej2014 | Jun 18, 2014

Over the past decade banking with this credit union they have always been polite and service oriented. The facilities are clean, organized and well staffed so that there are not long lines.

The car loan rates are competitive as are the home equity loan rates. Additionally they offer HSA accounts and CDs. The 'free checking' account is genuinely free, with no charges (except overdraft, if your associated savings account doesn't have sufficient funds). Check them out it is worth your time.

Great Credit Union!

Posted by: LewsTherin | Apr 25, 2014

Centra credit union is a great place to do business. They have trustworthy workers, and they work hard to make their clients happy. Their customer service is second to none. Their fees are competitive and they do not gouge you for more money. No complaints here.

Rewards Checking

Posted by: shantelconley1 | Mar 21, 2017

I signed up for rewards checking over 5 years ago with the understanding that I would earn points like a credit card. But within that time I have received not even 1000 points total. First you register your card and use it, but the fine print reads using the card with a pin does not reward points. I was paying $4.00 a month for something that had no reward. On top of that they do not inform you that if you get a new card you have to go back and register all over again. Unless you plan to use your account without entering a pin number for transactions it will do you very little good. I have also had direct deposit paychecks not show up until 10-11am on multiple occasions. Normally funds were available at 5am and have to wait many more hours sometimes meant not having money when it was needed.

Centra Credit Union

Posted by: rres | Jan 27, 2015

I have been a member of Centra Credit Union for over eight years. Overall, this is an average bank. While their customer service at the Edinburgh branch is great, their main branch's service leaves much to be desired. They are also very quick to act if your debit card as been compromised. One of my biggest complaints about this bank is that it's their policy to charge $0.50 to transfer money from savings to checking accounts when the checking account has been overdrawn. When I first opened my accounts, the bank did not charge anything to transfer between connected accounts. Centra also does not have a feature on it's iPhone app to let you know if you've overdrawn your account. I would be much happier with my mobile experience if this feature was added seeing as a $26.00 fee is charged if you overdraw your account.

Horrible Business!!!!

Posted by: Joanie Evans | Jun 6, 2017

DO NOT DO BUSINESS with this bank. They will rob you blind to line their pockets! They sneak in hidden fees and are completely unreasonable and crooked! Customer service is awful and they will not help. If you get a loan, make sure you pick a different bank! This bank is nothing but crooks!

Online Services

Posted by: Jim Brown | Dec 28, 2016

If you need to use online services stay as far away from this credit union as you can. I think banks in third world countries have a better IT system. You will experience frequent outages and it will lock you out of your account and not recognize your account number. Banking with Centra is a headache you may want to avoid

Run From Centra Credit Union

Centra is an example of why people keep their money in mattresses. Never again will I use this bank.
