13 Month CD Special - Opening Issues
ACH transfers initiated from FRFCU are limited to $100,000 so if you plan to fund a CD in excess of this amount best that you do so from your External Bank account.
A Regular Savings account requires $10 minimum opening which can be funded via credit/debit card for new customers. Funding a 13 Month CD Special (5.64% APY as of today 1-31-2024) is cumbersome. Even when logged into your online account their system limits you to $10,000 maximum funding (but their system doesn't tell you this) so if you wish to open a CD in excess of $10,000 you first have to transfer the 10k AND you have to call them and they transfer the rest while you are on the phone but the transfer to fund the CD doesn't show up immediately- taking up to 2 hours for their system to update. Their online banking system requires you to delete "$" AND the comma (,) when keying in the dollar amount you wish to fund. For instance $10,000.00 must be entered as 10000.00 or it will simply reset with you pondering what to do. I gave up trying to figure out that there was a limit and how I was "expected" to key in the number. Pretty amateur online portal. Their staff are cordial and helpful which I appreciate but their digital platform is rudimentary, cumbersome and a pain. In this day and age these are not just inconveniences- they are totally unacceptable.
Hellllloooo?? Anyone There?? Yoo Hoo!
Now I see a Health rating of C - I would not have applied if I knew that. They asked for all kinds of personal & financial info to apply, then nothing. It's been weeks. Not even an acknowledgement. I called and was told to wait longer--really? Well, if my identity is stolen, Financial Resources CU is the first place I'll hunt down. Whatever their procedures are, they are ineffective and inefficient. Luckily I had not given them any money yet.
