I have been a member at Elevations since i was five years old. I have always enjoyed banking here. There are no fees, it was easy to get set up, and they always give me a lolly pop at the drive through window. My only issue with Elevations Credit Union is that they have had trouble when I travel. One time they inputted the wrong country, and then kept shutting off my cards even though I continually called them to tell them it was me and not fraud. Everything except that is great, i would recommend.
A credit union for me
Elevations Credit Union was a positive change compared to what I had prior to moving to Colorado. It is the first credit union/bank that has not had unacceptable practices. For example, in the past I was charged to deposit coins. This kind of practice is unheard of at Elevations. I am pleased with the fact that I am given free checks. They also have pretty funny commercials - not that this is important to consider if a financial institution is qualified to handle my money. Their website and mobile app are both very nice. They also hold public events for their members (for example, a community barbecue). Every branch I have been to has friendly and helpful employees who are willing to have a real conversation, not just a terse business relationship. I would highly recommend this credit union to anyone who lives in the area.
Elevations Credit Experience
I went into elevations credit union because there were no local branches of my current bank within a reasonable distance. The local branch was a big building which was very attractive, and the staff was very accommodating. They asked me if I was a student and I told them yes. They set me up with a student account which was even a lot better that the current account I had with one of the big banks. I have not had a problem with weird fees or any other complaints with elevations like I used to have with my previous bank. I like the fact that they are a credit union and the fact that if I maintain a good banking relationship with them, I will have access to good rates on future money borrowed. When I go back east I find it hard to find an ATM where I am not charged fees. That is a bit annoying. Based on their relatively small reach, I don't know if I would bank with them exclusively.
Day trader
The experience for banks for me has been a rocky road. Least to say finding the write bank, is like finding the write song to play before working out. I drove by This bank on a early day after working out which was conveniently by the gym. The reps were very nice and patient which seems to be a forgettable word in today's society. The rep had me fill out a very small amount of paper work before working on my needs. The procedure to open an account was painless and took no longer than
Dumping Them After 25 Years
25 year credit union customer but I have recently dumped them entirely: Banking, Credit Cards, Loans, and Safe Deposit.
Recently (Nov 2011), they sold all customer personal financial data to Inuit without customer consent for their new online banking portal. Not only is the online banking even worse than before but Intuit owns your financial data and you get to look at ads for Intuit services in your online banking!
Final straw was a botched bill payment. When I called to ask about it they said bill pay is now handled by a third party but I couldn't talk to that third party and there was nothing they could do to resolve the situation.
When I pulled my money out the VP of online services called me to talk about it. I asked why the online banking was so much worse. Bottom line... they only test for and support for IE and one ancient version of FireFox. That was all I needed to hear. Run away as fast as you can.
