Best Credit Union Around!
I have banked with Tyndall for close to 6 years. I have 2 car loans and a credit card with them and wouldn't wish to bank anywhere else. They have the best rates and their staff is knowledgeable and kind!
Tyndall Federal Credit Union Saved Me A Ton Of Money By Refinancing My Home!
Refinanced my Mortgage with Tyndall Federal Credit Union and saved over 2% on my rate, which saved me over $100,000 in interest!!! The representative was so awesome to work with. I started the process on a Monday and 3 weeks to the day, I was in the closing office and finished refinancing my home. It's so nice having everything all at 1 financial institution and having a 'Local' person that I can speak with. Tyndall truly does care about their members and saving us money.
Community Credit Union To Grow With
Since I was a child I have had an account with Tyndall Federal Credit Union. From using just a saving account and Certificate of Deposit account to adding in checking once I graduated high school. I have found it easy to set up the accounts, ask questions related to interest, fees and companies trying to debit my accounts without permission. In cases of people trying to empty my accounts, I found TFCU quickly able to lock the account and get my money returned in days without having to fight them over it. Even adding in a debit card was simple and replacing it once they added in chips was just as simple. I see myself continuing to use them as well as, once I have children, helping them set up accounts as well.
Tyndall Federal Credit Union - A Word Of Caution
I recent wrote a Google review to point out that Tyndall Federal Credit Union pulled a hard credit report as part of their selective scrutiny to protect their customers' assets from the increasingly sophisticated internet criminal element. I suppose that statement by Tyndall in response to my review was a misdirected shot across my bow since I am in no way associated with criminal organizations and my attempt to merely open a membership account was performed entirely within the parameters of legal conduct. I have been a member of excellence with two credit unions and an esteemed local banking institution for more than 10 years and hold an excellent credit rating.
Tyndall also explained in their response that pulling a hard credit report in my instance was a "mistake," that it should have instead been a soft inquiry only, and was actually the fault of their "new credit bureau partner," an action that was entirely unknown to Tyndall until reading my Google review. But you see, Tyndall's new partner only pulls the credit reports and forwards them to Tyndall Federal Credit Union. How else could Tyndall form an opinion regarding my membership in the absence of any direct inspection of my credit report?
While Tyndall cites an increasingly ominous presence of internet criminal elements that calls for vigilance in member selection, there is also an equally increasing prevalence of plausible denial being instrumented by organizations who find themselves the subject of exposure. "It wasn't our fault but rather the fault of our new partner."
In the real world, whenever any organization forms a partnership with anyone they own responsibility for the actions of all such partners. There is no separation of culpability. Partnership itself denotes a union, a binding protocol between two or more parties, in this instance Tyndall Federal Credit Union and their new credit bureau partner. If Tyndall forms a partnership and a problem arises from anywhere within, it is Tyndall Federal Credit Union's unswerving responsibility to step forward and shoulder both the incident and the outcome. As consumers, we are all too weathered by institutions who in the face of exposure quickly step aside to explain how a problem is anywhere but firmly in their grasp.
I will never apply for membership with Tyndall Federal Credit Union or any other organization who seeks protection rather than embraces full responsibility. This is particularly true where my assets are concerned. Tyndall claimed in their review that the protection of their customers' assets is first and foremost. Yet in their own words, Tyndall isn't even aware of the illegal actions by their own new partner. How could they possibly protect my assets within the same sphere of absence of knowledge regarding the actions of their own partner?
