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.
WORST EVER
Wanda approved me for a credit card and said just submit your documents. So I ran around to submit every document she requested just for her to turn around and decline me once I submitted everything she asked proving everything I put on my application AFTER APPROVING ME for $5000 there are much better credit unions out there such as RBFCU or Navy Federal. This is by the worst experience with a credit union I have had. Going to close my account tomorrow steer clear they suck.
