Dow Chemical Credit Union
Opened a new share account 12/16. All went very smoothly. Had to email copy of drivers licesnse, as we are out of state. took pic on camera and uploaded. Did pull from Marcus to open. Paid $35 to charity to become member. All in all a good experience. Plan to open a 100K 2 yr cd at 2.4%.
Member Give Back
DCECU has a member give back program for any members that have a loan, mortgage, credit card or interest bearing account. This used to be an industry norm that is no longer, with DCECU being one of the last credit unions to maintain the tradition. DCECU doesn't spend money on buildings they spend it on members.
Interest Rebates
I joined this credit union several years ago but have not used them. The account opening process is slow especially if you are not a Dow Employee. I joined as a stockholder. I joined because of this credit unions history of rebating back a portion of their earnings to their members. They really do this. The only problem is their rates on Savings are not that great and their loan rates are higher. So the rebate is a gimmick. I would rather have a higher savings and a lower loan rate than a rebate. So not for me. Obviously some people like this.
