Had To Leave
I had been with Chartway for over 10 years.
I noticed that all of my calls to them for the last few weeks were on hold for over 20 minutes to get to CS. Not during busy periods, either.
I did tell management that their staffing for LONG HOLD TIMES is something they should be seeing with me having to complain and leave.
Please post problems about extended wait times on this web site. NOT EXCEPTIONS, but consistently occurring long hold times.
Maybe we can get some attention on this issue.

If you have a Chartway CD mature, be sure to check that you have the correct amount at maturity. I gave Chartway notice 3 days before maturity that I wanted the proceeds of the CD moved into my share account so I could take it out and move the money elsewhere since Chartway's rates at this time were not so good. Imagine my surprise when I found that only1/10 of the amount of the CD had been moved. When I questioned this, after a long wait on the phone, I was told that the rest of the money was being moved to my share acct. What a surprise - when I found that nearly $1000 had been taken out. I was short about $1000. When I inquired, I was told that both errors were "systems errors". It was finally resolved by a very good and attentive customer service rep, but the fact that it happened at all I found very disturbing. So keep a close watch on your account here.
Also, although when I first went on the online account I could see the history and how much money I should have had, after the transfer to the share account, all the history vanished - so print out your history!
Off Its Meds
Update: a few days later emailed me an invitation to apply for the promotion! Not fooling me again!
Prior week: Entered the start of basic membership fields. Not allowed to proceed to Chex Systems questions before being told I am not eligible for this promotion (still being advertised as open nationwide.) No reason given.
Have excellent financials and was accepted the day before into another CU using same identification. Retired bank/credit union regulator so I know how to apply to a financial institution!
