Not Concerned With Member Financial Health
We've been with SCU for many years now, but ultimately we are planning to switch to another institution. We are not satisfied with many of their practices, including withdrawal & deposit ordering, overdrafting, credit card policy, auto-pay systems, bill pay, and lack of technological advances including mobile wallet and fraud detection. Really in almost every area we've had an issue at some point.
Many of their policies seem fee-focused, and actually perpetuate debt instead of helping members out of it. We can't recommend SCU to anybody at this point.
Stay Away, Unless You Want A Bank That's Doing YOU The Favor By Banking There
These guys are awful! I've been with them over 12 years now. They and the bank act like their doing YOU a favor by banking there. I received several NSF Fees, asked them to waive (Can't remember the last time I had one) They waived one. The others weren't because "Your account isn't set up for that." They are the only bank out of 4 that I have that sends you an email "Approving" your deposit. Even the way they phrase things on their website, We're doing YOU a favor.
One of my banks has a no NSF fee and actually gives you a personal line for thirty days, they offered, I didn't ask.
I had another issue with SMCU, their old name and I remember I had to push and escalate the situation to be treated fairly.
Go somewhere else, I am.
Avoid This Credit Union
terrible--have great credit yet they treat me like I have terrible credit---they signed me up for overdraft protection and still charged me for NSF! On top of that they keep changing policies without notice.Closed acct and am happy with BECU
