COLUMBIA CU RATES MISTAKEN ON THIS WEBSITE

I called columbia credit union. their cd rates are nowhere near what they seem to be on this website. The website must have old data for them.

Confused Policy, Technologically Backwards

Posted by: |

Made an account just to review this bank in the hopes of helping others avoid the hassles of dealing with them. In short form:

-They change the policy with every phone call. Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, I have called them multiple times to check on their policies on wire transfers, and every conversation results in a new or altered policy. They may require something this time that they didn't last time (e.g., you can request to transfer your money out only on the day of the maturity date).

-Their processes are well behind the times. For example, their website has no way for one to send a secure message within the site. Instead, they will communicate only on the phone, meaning that one has to spend a considerable amount of time waiting on the phone (wait times can be over 1 hour!) to ask a simple questions.

-Their fees are much higher than for other banks. I recommend that anyone considering their products thoroughly look over each and every fee that they can (and therefore will) levy at every possible opportunity.

-Their customer service is overall awful. Long wait times on hold, poor coordination within their various teams on policies, poor adoption of technology to triage customer communications, and so forth.

To save from the frustration of dealing with this bank (and the accompanying waste of time and energy), I would take up to a 0.5% interest rate hit on a 6-figure deposit and do my business elsewhere.

Hope this review helps at least one other person in the future avoid doing business with these people.

Hope this helps
