This credit union has become an intergral part of my life!
I've had several banks and one other credit union in the past and I've never felt as if I've mattered to any of them. But at SSFCU I know that I'm not just some other random person! The employees at this credit union have gone out of the way not only to help us get the best loans but to help us when we recently moved out of state and ran into some problem with getting our new direct deposit set up! The person who attended us stayed 2 hours after her shift ended to ensure our documents were received and recorded so our loan payment would not be late!! I don't know of any other bank establishment caring so much as to even stay open for another 5 minutes to help someone in need!!
Security Service Federal Credit Union
I have a been member at Security Service Federal Credit Union for well over a year. In my time with the credit union, I have had absolutely no issues. My checking and savings accounts have no fees associated with them, due to my have having direct deposit and maintaining a minimum balance.
Too Many Fees
My mother has been apart of the credit union for over twenty years, so when I turned 18, and got my first job I opened an account with them. Basically milked me dry with overdraft fees, and their customer service was absolutely awful to boot. I ended up eventually just canceling my account and taking my business to another bank.
Stay Far Away From This CU!!!
I been with this credit union for about 7 years. Over those years I have sent more than 6 letters of instructions for Certificates pertaining to non-renewal. Each of these letters have never been followed or acted upon by Security Service. Each and every time I've had to called and fight with them to get them to process my request and return my funds.
I'm finally down to my last two CDs which they just renewed dispite my written instructions to transfer to savings. I Do Not Recommend this C.U. for anyone.
