Very Good Personal Service!

Posted by: |

I have used SECU for more than 20 years. They are not perfect, but they try, their staff are always courteous. My loan officer is great, financing several mortgages, and beating a new home builder (Winchester) when their loan interest increased 60 days before closing and I could not find another mortgage in time! SECU came through.

Website good but not great, and despite phone delays, and they ALL have delays, you can get through.

Unfortunately last refi 2 years ago, I had to get a private mortgagee, my loan officer complained they were changing things! After rescuing me on my new home financing, he couldn't help refi from 3.875 to 2.75.

Extremely convenient. Checking services very good, bill pay very good. I have belonged to several others, but SECU is still my main financial institute. I have a Bank of America account, and have closed several other banks and credit unions. Always have at least 2 credit unions, always better than banks.

Getting Worse And Worse

Posted by: |

SECU MD; As time goes on this credit union is getting worse & worse not only in it's customer service but also in it's website options. SARA is absolutely useless as is some of their customer agents.
They are becoming like alot of other big companies, upper management doesn't want to know or doesn't care how things below them are in real time or are not being given honest information about customer service.
BUT, on the flip side there are those employees who are performing as expected in the treatment of their customers and do resolve issues and problems.
