So Far So Good
I had a an old bond come reach final maturity. I wasn't ready to cash it in, but did not want to leave setting without earning anything. After looking at several options, I found this credit union and its money market account. At the time the interest rate was 3%. Now the rate is up to 4%, the same rate my bond was drawing. At least for small savings, up to $2,000, this is a great option and would recommend them.
The sign up process was a bit drug out and took about a week or longer to finalize. It took them a couple of days to get to my application, I then had to submit my several documents to them.
So far the signup process is the only down side for the amount of money I intend to keep here. Would recommend if you are only planning on depositing $2,000 or less.
Terrible Customer Service And App
Had been banking there for over a decade. Today was the day I finally left. Customer service was never good but put up with it. After several times of them not reaching back to me as they promised from simple account issues and info on HELOCs I decided it was time to leave. They’re always rude never helpful. Bye bye. Don’t bank there
Certified Check
Went to the Greenwood Village branch today with a certified check for $5900.00,was told they had to see how much money they had in vault,overheard there was plenty,told to take a seat while she waited for someone to go to vault with her,waited 15 minutes and was told they could only cash $1500.00 at a time,I drove 30 miles to get that,and they charged me $3.00 on top of that,don't think I would ever bank here.
