Connexus Credit Union
Very well designed website for applying for a money market account. Very fast response to application. Excellent rates on money market accounts. Also great talking to their customer service representatives.
Stay Away! My Experience Was They Need Big Improvements
Their online system doesn't show you renewal setting status of your CDs.
Their system doesn't allow you to change renewal setting status of your CDs.
To change renewal status of your CDs you must call the service center and prove your identity by answering public available information questions as if you were applying for a credit card online.
Then I found they didn't enter my responses properly and I was not validated.
So then they make me send a secure message while logged in.
Then they ignored my secure message for a month. They did not reply to my secure message at all.
I wasted a lot of time due to their system and processes and it was very stressful.
Many other financial institutions treat you much better for the above situations.
Maybe Used To Good, But No Longer
I have dealt with many financial institutions, and in fact work with a lot of financial institutions on a day-to-day basis. I have to say that Connexus Credit Union is the most disorganized and unprofessional financial institution that I have ever dealt with. I attempted to purchase a large amount of CDs and was quickly approved. However, I soon afterwards received an additional message asking for a utility bill and a copy of my social security card (the latter which has never been requested of me before). After providing this, I did not hear from them for over a week, at which I logged back into the secure messaging portal and saw that they had silently rejected my application without comment. Unprofessional and terrible organization here. Stay away.
