I am one of the newest St. Louis Missouri residents to become a member of the Illinois based credit union, and I have to say hands down the best Finacial institution in our great state of Missouri, I have many Missouri Credit union memberships along with their auto loans and Platinum Credit Cards, the minute I switched to Scott Credit union I instantly seen my money grow from their high interest free checking account to their extremely low rated visa credit card, there’s no other bank or credit union out there even close to what Scott Credit Union offers, thank you Scott credit union for expanding to Missouri residents!
The customer service for the Credit Union goes beyond what you would normally find in today's competition. The drive through service is easy access and well maintained as well. They offer a friendly atmosphere for all your banking needs.
I've been a customer of Scott Credit Union since I moved to the metro east area in 1990. In that time they've financed 5 cars and a house for me and I've always been happy with their service.
Being a member of this bank for over 10 years and enjoyed their services until the several updates to the online banking.
Since their constant upgrades/downtime on weekends, it makes it nearly impossible to do any onlqine banking on the weekends. With that said, trying to find out your credit card balance is a game of "Chutes and Ladders." To ensure a payment is recieved you have to either pay over the phone or transfer from SCU website. Problem is if you transfer, good luck on knowing what your balance/payment is supposed to be. To find that out you have to go to the credit card site.
To top it off, they are always placing you on hold or sending you through some automated messaging system.
If you are using them for checking and savings, with out online banking non the weekends, they are okay but I woukdn't count on anything more then that
I urge anyone that is considering this credit union to go elsewhere. If you're already there then pull your money out. The customer service is horrible. The team members aren't knowledgeable. It takes them days longer to complete transactions that other banks can do immediately to 48 hours. SCU will hold your money as long as they can to earn interest for themselves before they release it to you. Someone else said it on this thread over a year ago, RUN DON'T WALK!
this bank and all their branches have absolutely horrible customer service they do not even know the definition of the word do yourself a favor and keep on shopping for a better Bank...
I finally got away from Scott Credit Union and will NEVER go back. Avoid them!!! Truly this is the worst credit union or financial institution I have ever had to deal with. I was with them for almost 15yrs and all they did was gouge me continuously for fees, fees and more fees. All you have to do is go onto the NCUA site and read their financial statement shows they made $4mil in fee income this year alone!!! They got me for $20K from 2011 to present and I am a twice widowed mother, have worked in finance, banking and the government my entire life!! If they are stupid enough to pull this on me, they will do it to anyone. One day they will have to answer to God for all they do!!
