Southeastern Federal Credit Union
Southeastern Federal Credit Union is one of the best credit unions I have done business with. I have been with them for several years and I'm very satisfied with the credit union, how they handle my checking and savings accounts and how friendly and knowledgeable their employees are. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming.
Anytime I need assistance I am able to speak to a "live" person quickly. They have always been able to help with whatever the issue has been and rectified the issue in short order. I am very pleased with the online banking. It is very easy to use; easy to see my deposits and my transactions and also very easy to transfer funds.
I would recommend Southeastern to anyone looking for a credit union.
So So Bank
SEFCU is a so so bank. Have had an account with them 23 years. Up until a few years ago only Federal Employees could bank there, mostly were military. Now anyone within the state can open an account. They have grown, opened several branches and even built a new Main Bank. They have a hugh employee turn over, you never see the same staff working. There are a few upper level employees that have been around for a while. Not a friendly bank, you don't get that home town feel when you walk in.
They put a 10 day hold on the all checks deposit. I have a couple of other accounts with other banks in the area. I once made a deposit with check funds from one of my other bank accounts and they put a 10 hold on that check! They also posted an automatic draft to my account that was not mine. I could see that maybe a banking staff member might have posted the draft by mistake; but they did not want to fix the problem over the phone they wanted me to come down to the bank and fill out a form. I did get them to email me the form and allow me to fax it in. The form put the blame on everyone but them, that I was certifiying that it was a fraudulent transaction that either someone was using my banking information (stolen) or the merchant was scamming me. It was a small transaction and it was cleared up by the bank within 5 working days.
