Missing the personal touch

Posted by: |

What I miss most about being a long time customer at my bank is personal attention. I have been a member at the credit union since 2004 and it's irksome that I still have to present my ID every time I have a transaction. I do understand that there are precautions that must be taken in regards to theft identity, but after over a decade I feel like it would be nice to not have to do this every single time I go to the bank. Then to be told that I can't access my money regardless, even though they know me ... it's impersonal now.

Holder Beware

Posted by: |

I open two account here for the rates. Like I do with all of my accounts, I deposit some money and I withdraw some money monthly. Never checking the statement, because ever month is the same like clock work. A few months after opening the accounts with the max required for the special rate, the changed the terms. Thet withdrew $10 every month for months because of low balance. I asked to closed the account and that took about a week and a half. Lessons learned. Not going to say stay away but be careful.

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.

The Most Unprofessional Bank Ever

Posted by: |

This bank has the most unprofessional and incompetent staff. They've lied on numerous occasions, was not accountable for stole funds. More recently, my debit card replacement took and I kid you not...almost an entire month. The President never responded to a written letter and his management staff are just as incompetent. I had to open a backup account and will be transferring immediately over to my new credit union. Think twice! They only get the one star because there is no zero star option.

Inactivity Fee--$10

Posted by: |

I opened a savings account anticipating getting a share certificate soon afterwards. I got sick and couldn't follow through. My second quarterly statement was assessed a $1 paper statement fee and a $10 inactivity fee. I called to close the account, but couldn't. The call center doesn't accept those requests. I needed to be called by a "specialist in a day or two." A specialist called the same day and demanded I mail a formal cancellation letter. Good going, CUNJ. Stealing money from an ailing senior citizen. After all, "rules are rules."

Hidden Fees

Posted by: |

I opened this account for a pre approved car loan.  Was told only needed $100 balance.  After the dealer gave me a better interest rate I declined the loan.  Should have told me then that I would be charged $5 per month.  They didn't.  I didn't realize until my $100 shrunk to $75.  Crooks!
