Application Denied After Costly Membership Requirement
I applied for membership in the RiverLand Credit Union because it has the highest money market rates for IRAs and HSAs. It is possible to become a member by contributing to the Arts Council of New Orleans. I made a $10 contribution to the Arts Council and submitted my application to RiverLand. I received a response from RiverLand that they would have to have proof of my membership in the Arts Council. That turned out to cost $60. I became a member because the additional interest income would have exceeded that amount. Within days, I received a denial from RiverLand. Couldn't they have let me know in the first letter that they were not intending to approve my application rather than putting me through this costly charade?
