A Borrower's Bank
Banked here since I was 16. Customer serivce is poor on the whole. Accounts are totally fee-free, you basically have to bounce a check to pay for anything. Deposit rates are absolutely miserable.
This is a great bank to get loans from. I got my first credit card here as well as a small unsecured loan. Even though I had virtually no credit history, my APR on the card was %9 and %7.5 on the loan. They lend to anyone at very low rates.
Since I finished college and started making money I've pulled my funds from this bank and into places where I can earn interest. Still considering them for a mortgage though as their rates are competitive across the board.
Suggestions for HRCU: Everyone who lives in Dover/Rochester works in Portsmouth. You should have a branch there. Also, your website is really outdated.
Customer Service Nightmare
First, I want to start with the good. I opened a joint checking account with my parents when I was 16. When I ran out of money for school and was going to get kicked out, they gave me a $8000 loan even though I didn't have credit. I paid every dollar back and graduated.
At this point, I'm really, really frustrated with them. I do all my checking with another bank that gives me 4% rewards interest (compared to Holy Rosary's
s .2%). But every once in a while, I need to call them for something and its a nightmare. When I had to get a cash advance from their credit card, they gave me the wrong payoff amount and I ended up getting a collection notice for $2.75 . They made me pay a $3 fee to pay it off over the phone. When I asked for a credit limit increase, they ran a hard inquiry without my permission. I tried to get it reversed but I could only talk to this one person who was never there when I called. Finally I stopped using the card for a few years. I figured I should just run it once to keep it active, so I bought a 75 cent candy bar.
They flagged the transaction for fraud.
This Credit Union has been such a hassle that I will be closing my account, nostalgia aside. They just don't have the size, staff or technology to offer the service level that other banks do.
