Love This Place, Long Time Member

Posted by: erisha123 | Oct 4, 2012

I have been a member of RCU for roughly 10 years and I would absolutely recommend this credit union to ANYONE! I currently have multiple savings accounts, checking, HSA, overdraft protection, credit card, home equity loan, 1st mortgage, car loan, custodial accounts for my children and certificates. I have refinanced my home twice to lower the rate and have enjoyed my experiences with every lender I've worked with. Their rates are extremely competitive and they didn't charge me any points. I've worked with 3 of their investment reps for my kids college investment accounts as well, all fantastic.

I've never had a check held, paycheck delayed or loan application with any problems. I bought a car out of state and they even made that process easy. The branch office I use is open until 7 pm weekdays and also open on Saturday AND Sunday. Talk about convenient! Their ATMs are everywhere and I can use Kwik Trip too without getting charged fees. They've helped me buy savings bonds for my kids and redeem bonds for myself.

I LOVE their e-branch. My credit card has a rate less than 8% and I've gotten hundreds of dollars as well as a free airline ticket from my credit card rewards. There is a little "school site" branch at my son's elementary school. He brings in his money to deposit in his little RCU coin pouch. They give him stickers and suckers at the office AND they invite him to special kids functions likes free movies, a luau at the local pool and a halloween party.

Ignore those other two reviews if you are considering this place, they're junk. RCU is pretty darn awesome!

Application For Equity Line Of Credit

Posted by: Pidcock | Sep 2, 2011

Applied for equity line of credit with good credit and assets. Felt loan officer was inexperienced and not straight forward in handling the application. Officer never had a list of requirements for customer to bring to table. After all it is the business of the royal credit union to state requirements and not customer to know what was acceptable or needed. it should have been a clue when every time visited the store, place was deserted and not a hub of commerce. Maybe Wisconsin culture is different than that of Minnesota which would account for their lack of interest in doing business. Brought my business elsewhere.

RCU Doesn't Like Businesses

Posted by: Anonymous | Jun 28, 2012

I've been trying for 2 months to get what I think should be a simple change to my account done. I call business services every week and the receptionist says a manager will call me back but nothing. I have quit a bit of money in the account so it's not like I'm a small business. I'm so frustrated, I'm ready to find something else because they obviously don't care.

Hold Your Paycheck For SEVEN Days.

Posted by: alexccdo | Mar 14, 2012

I'm dusgusted with their greed and apathy. Checks clear instantly electronically. But they play games and HOLD your money for SEVEN days. Thanks, I'm sure my bills won't be late. Enjoy the interest you're earning on MY money. It'll be the last of my money you ever see. Account closed, money moved.
