Great Credit Union
I love Nasa FCU. They have always had competitive rates and they actually answer the phone within reasonable amount of time. I have been with them for about 3 years and just renewed a Jumbo CD, a process which went smoothly and efficiently. I would recommend Nasa to anyone wanting a strong financial institution and top-notch customer service.
CD Opening
I opened a CD account online. I don't recall it being that much of a hassle, and I wanted that great 49 month CD rate. Once it was opened, I had 30 days to fund it. I did the trial deposit thing and ACH'd the money from my bank to the savings account. Their limits don't apply when you initiate from your bank. Also, it is true that you cannot then switch the money to the CD, however, they are very responsive to the message function. They replied within a couple of hours and moved the money immediately. I did not have to call.
A Little Frustration
Application was completed followed by form emails needing Drivers license (provided) proof of residency (Drivers license doesn't count) and copy of SOCIAL SECURITY CARD! Haven't had to do this since the 1960's & draft registration. Happy to report NASA CU reached out and we'll do business going forward.
Difficult To Join--Poor Communication And Unreasonable Requests For Info
First, thank you to everyone who has shared their experience. I wish I'd read this before I attempted to join.
Their CD rates are good, so I decided to join. Yikes. I had few questions, so I called first, a solid 20+ minutes wait, though the person I spoke to was professional. I applied online. It took 4 days for them to look at my application, though their auto-robot kept emailing me and asking me to upload requested document that I'd already uploaded. Then, like others here, they started asking for more and different documentation, including access to my credit report. I have a credit freeze, so lifting it is kind of a pain. Why do they need a credit report for me to give them money? I've never needed to do this to open a CD anywhere. Also, I'm opening it in the name of my trust. Initially they asked for one part of the trust doc, then they wanted more. At a minimum, their requirements are not clear. When I had called, I'd asked the person for a list of the docs I needed to provide, so I could have them ready. She said, "It depends " and that they'd email me after I applied. Their auto-robot had sent a list, but it was not complete. Anyway, this all seems like a bad sign. In theory, businesses are on their best behavior before they have your money, so I wonder what it will be like when I try to get the money out when the CDs mature. Not worth the headache. Hope others have a better experience.
