Avoid This CU. Don't Fall For The High Rate.
They did a hard pull on my credit with no warning on the application and then denied my account opening. I had two phone calls with them, and it went nowhere.
Please carefully read the reviews here. Don't waste your time with this CU. The website looks nice and everything else about them is awful.
Cannot Open On-Line
Some people can open an account on-line but others (myself) cannot. No reason given!
Hard Credit Inquiry For Bank Account & 5% On $500 May Need To Be 2.5% On $1K
Like most banks, they disclose that they will pull your credit. What wasn't clear to me was that this bank does a hard credit inquiry, not a soft one.
Also if you're opening the account for the 5% on $500, the monthly fees can destroy any profits so that you're negative monthly unless you deposit $1k or more or jump through some other hoops that aren't worth it in my opinion.
