Besides their regular qualification, you have to be:
• A resident of New Mexico or California
• A member of National Museum of Nuclear Science & History for $30 at a local branch OR
• A member of the Albuquerque International Association $60 individual per year Jan to Dec
They do a soft pull with Experian, not Equifax as I was told initially. Fortunately I unfroze with all three.
During the process at a local branch, only to be told I had to unfreeze with ChexSystem also. Fortunately I had the pin number with me to unfreeze. Took additional 25 minutes.
When I first applied for an account at Sandia, I was very pleased to learn that I could bank with this credit union without paying banking fees. I am happy with the personalized service I received. I had some issues with my accounts while out of the country and my banker went above and beyond to assist me in resolving them. I would recommend Sandia to all whom fit the criteria to bank with them!
I really enjoy using this bank. I had a problem while traveling in a foreign country. They assisted me perfectly, and kept our vacation experience positive. The woman I spoke with on the phone was very understanding, nice and helpful. She made sure that my checking and savings were going to continue working on my trip. I guess that by spending so much time out of the country it flagged all of my accounts, and denied me usage on both of my checking, and savings accounts. Apparently someone that worked at one of the places that I went, copied my card number, and tried to use it to buy a boat. They stopped the purchase, and froze all my accounts. I didn't find out until I went to pay for gas, and my card wouldn't work. I would recommend this bank to anyone!
