Neighborhood credit union
I have been banking with SECU since I was in community college, so approximately 15 years now. I find their website very user friendly. I have several accounts with SECU including savings, holiday savings and a money market account. I have never had a problem making a deposit or withdrawing funds with a physical teller, and opening the accounts were a breeze. I will say that the branch that I visit has just undergone major renovation and I am not happy with the new setup. There is now only one ATM which is frustrating, and often times I am unable to deposit funds into the ATM. Prior to renovation, there were 2 ATM's and I never had an issue depositing funds into the ATM. Overall for a credit union I feel the interest rates could be a little higher, but it is difficult to find a bank with competitive rates and I am happy here so I have not sought to move my money.
Mediocre Credit Union
I've been a member for about 7 years and I'd have to say it's been mostly a mediocre experience. I was never able to setup an online account with them. They kept promising that capability but it never materialized. When I lived in near to the local branch it was fairly easy to do business with them, but now that I've moved out of the area I have to do everything via snail mail. It's slow and frustrating to try to get things done. The rates on my loan were OK, but nothing great considering that I have an excellent credit rating. They recently changed their reporting to a system that better consolidates your accounts and they put all of that on a single statement, so that should help going forward. I would give them a solid 3/5 because some of the people in the branches are good.
