Been a member of GWCU for nearly 16 years with 9 of these years being outside of the USA. Have I ever had a problem with my account while traveling and living abroad...nope! Can I call any time and get my problems solved...yep! I talk to expats all the time about how horrible their bank is; but my CU gets it done every time! Amazing staff, products and services. From remote deposit, online banking, you name it! A+++
I've banked at Goldenwest Credit Union for over 13 years and have had a very positive experience. Their rates are extremely competitive and their mortgage department has delivered exceptional service on all three mortgages I've completed with GWCU.
I've been a member with Goldenwest for almost two years and I've never had any issues. Their interest rates are very competitive with other credit unions in my area and the customer service is always great! I would definitely recommend GWCU to a friend.
GWCU is the worst credit union I've ever worked with. Amongst many complaints, they took "inactive fees" EACH MONTH if I didn't use the account. What a JOKE of a company. Closed account and I am NEVER going back. Not to mention they have some of the HIGHEST interest rates. I wish I could give them a 0! When I asked about the fees, they said "sorry you were never informed, but it's already done and there's nothing we can do". What trash.
