A Consumer Oriented bank

Posted by: kenyattarollins77 | Apr 24, 2018

My experiences with Mountain America Credit Union have been superb. The fees are low, the customer service is excellent, and they seem to enjoy taking care of their customers. Having dealt with big and semi-big regional banks in the past,, MACU keeps their fees and rates low by comparison. For someone with my limited income, this is a welcome change from the past. They also offer a very reasonable overdraft fee in case you overdraw your account. In the past, if my account was overdrawn by only a few cents, I'd be hit with a large penalty. That's not the case today, and in addition to the lower penalty,, you're not hit with the fee until the next day, in case all you needed to do was transfer money from your savings into your checking account. Again, this is another BIG plus for me. All in all, I'm VERY satisfied with MACU, and I'm happy I switched to them over a year ago. I would'nt hesitate to recommend this credit union to my friends.

I'm happy with MACU

Posted by: lloydberry | Mar 1, 2018

In fact, I'm MORE than pleased with the credit union I currently belong to. My paycheck from my part time job is direct deposited into my account, and even though payday is technically Thursday, the money is always deposited into my account on Wednesday evening. It makes a big deal to me as I usually do my grocery shopping on Thursday mornings.

In addition, this credit union offers a "perk" to members that does not penalize you too severely if you should overdraw your account. The fee is $20 per transaction that you overdraw, and the daily amount you are charged is capped at $100. I have not had to use this feature yet, but it is comforting to know it's available to me if an emergency should arise. Plus, you are given 30 days to pay it back, which I imagine would be a great relief if you suddenly found yourself unemployed.

Finally, the credit union is open until 7PM, which is a great feature if you work during the day. And, I have never had a bad or uncomfortable experience while dealing face to face with one of their employees...

My Favorite

Posted by: Pochield | Apr 9, 2018

Mountain America Credit Union has been one of my favored banking institutions for over 25 years. When I first opened an account with this credit union it was called Smith's Federal Credit Union and was linked to a previous employer of mine. The branches were small, the experience personable, and the transactions felt like you were dealing with a trusted friend rather than an aloof business. Eventually, as the business expanded, the credit union was absorbed by another local institution...Mountain America. The personal style of dealing business has remained. I have a checking and savings account with Mountain America. I have also held personal loans with them and at one time a savings account for my now grown son. Whenever I need help any employee is professional, friendly, and provides very prompt and accurate service. I am very happy with this company.

Be Patient: Ask Many Questions

The 5 year cd rate for out of staters is worth the trouble: Do not deposit into your local credit union share account and transfer it to them as they recommend to fund your cd. Because the IRS considers it a cash transaction. The reps think they can do an ACH transaction (no can do) its only for bill pay. Have a supervisor produce a deposit slip email it to you and mail a check to them with it and wait like I am. We shall see!
