Positve Experience Overall

Posted by: Spring | Jan 30, 2019

Just closed a cd and had to bank wire the funds to the other bank. No ACH transfer for that amount. Good customer service. 6 month early withdrawal penalty on a 5 year cd.
Overall satisfied with them except for the ACH transfer issues.

Waste Of Time....At Best

Posted by: Yua89 | Nov 19, 2018

And possibly deceptive at worst.

Not unlike the first poster above, I had a similar experience. Despite sending and providing all my information it took GSFCU a good 4-5 days to process my initial application.

I got a call from one of their reps to let me know i'd been approved only to then be informed the 4-year high rate CD promotion was no longer available.

I question whether it was ever really available or if it was just a bad combination of trolling for new money and/or attention.

I will not do business with this bank again and am frankly disinclined to waste much time in search of high yields when these practices are far from uncommon.

Total Waste Of Time!

Posted by: darnit44 | Nov 19, 2018

As soon as I found out about your 4.08% APY 4 year CD I have applied online on November 7th. Though I've forgot to attach my DL picture at first I had been informed of that and I had provided all the necessary information next day.
A few days later when I saw the $5 withdraw from my bank account I figured out that I became FCU member but then the high APY CD was gone already (after 7-10 days!). I've tried to find out via phone and e-mail from Jennifer Garcia (rep) if I still can have the 4.08% CD but no answer either 24 hours nor days later.
However a few days later I've got a link for funds verification process, When I went through that,on the last p age I've got informed that FCU will fund 5 year CD. It's not what I've applied for 10 days ago! At the time they had 4.08% 4 year CD and I wanted to have it,
Since it was not available anymore I had to request to cancel the transfer.
So I went through all the hassle for nothing, totally wasted my time!!!
I'm really disappointed in their application process and customer service.
Seems like if you are not a member don't even bother because until you get approved the high rate probably will be gone!
