Better Than Expected CD Opening Experience
I put in online app for the 4% CD but didn't lift my credit freeze. They contacted me, I lifted the freeze, but as another glitch they could not pull the money due to an error I made on my fidelity cash management account number character-to-numeric conversion. By then the 4% deal is off and I asked if my app will still be honored. They said yes as long as money arrives in a few days. I used Fidelity's free wire now available to everyone at Fidelity and got the 4% CD. Along the way I was able to chat 24x7 with someone knowledgeable, not just hired hands, email and talk over the phone with the reps. Based on my experience - the customer service is above and beyond my expectation.
Great Customer Service
I opened a jumbo CD online, and I was called by Sue at KS, who finished the process for me. The web opening is straightforward, except that it doesn't really open the CD. I chose the maturity while opening it, but I had to give that info to Sue, and she opened it. So, the web could be better.
But Sue was fantastic. She gave me her number for any questions I might have, and she helped me open another CD over the phone, which was great because the rates dropped by .5% a couple of days later.
Excellent Customer Service When Transferring IRA Acct
We wanted to take advantage of the 2 yr 3.2% CD for a maturing IRA that we were moving to Connexus from another credit union. We received exceptional help and followup from Choua in the IRA dept.
Watch Out! Actual CD Yields Missleading
While the CD rates look attractive, there are some big downsides here. Funds into and out of CDs get charged a $20 fee both ways or you have the choice of paper checks by snail mail or an ACH transfer policy akin to many South American countries monetary policies (money can come in, but not out) - unlimited ACH's in but only 5k a day and 25k a month out (and through an addtional separate account).
