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.
Avoid Security Service Federal Credit Union
Having obtained a loan back in 2012 for an Acura MDX which was paid off this past August we never received the title or release of lien documents. I just called them to find out that they sent the title/lien release to our former address where we haven't lived for over 3 years even though we updated our account information with them the same month we moved in December 2014. They had no problems sending the bills to the updated address for the last 3 years or hounding us for updated insurance information every 6 months when our insurance policies were being update so I cannot image why they would have sent anything to our old address. Now we have to apply for a replacement title which involves going to the DMV where I'll no likely have to stand in line for hours, paying for the duplicate title and wasting valuable work time. Complete incompetence. Avoid them if you can.
