No longer my first choice

Posted by: |

My family banked exclusively with Northland growing up, so it was only natural that I open my first account there and expected my experience to be as positive as my families was. Unfortunately it wasn't so. Instead of guiding me in the process I was made to feel like I was an uneducated inconvenience.
At one time I wanted to add a checking account with a debit card to my new account and I was asked, "Do you really feel responsible enough for that?" Which, to be honest, was quite a blow to me. I already had my own apartment, car, and had been at my current job for over a year. In spite of all of this I stayed with the credit union for five years, as all their advertisements state that they are there for the community. After five years I switched to a bank, and I've had no complaints so far.

Love them

Posted by: |

This CU serves my local fairly rural community in Northern Michigan. What I like best about it is the small town feel and that I am generally recognized when I go in. The employees there are genuinely friendly and helpful... without feeling manipulative. We often engage in local related conversation while doing business. I have had a few typical problems (not getting ATM card in mail, etc) and my problems have always been satisfactorily addressed. The website is user friendly without being excessively busy. I have had no security concerns, and almost always do not have a lengthy wait in line. I have never experienced any banking errors at this credit union, and the services they offer work just fine for me. I also have a better interest rate on my savings account than at a downstate bank with which I also maintain an account.

Disgruntled

Posted by: |

This CU is the worst financial institute I have ever had to deal with. I have been a member of NAFCU since they merged with Ogemaw County Credit Union in 1995. I was a member of OCCU since 1989. With this said, I have never been approved for a loan without a co-signer. Every loan I have had here has been paid in full and never late. The employees do not treat me with the respect I have become used to at the other 3 banks I deal with, on a personal and professional level. So save your time and energy, go to a bank.
