Great Credit Union in Western Massachusetts

I used this credit union from 2011-2016 when I was in the pioneer river valley. The in-person service was always great. The website at the time was tolerable but pretty lacking compared to my other bank, but I am lead to believe that they have since upgraded their online banking service. The checking account product was amazing, I earned 2% interest on my funds in the account. My savings account received better rates than a big box bank, but worse ones than the checking account. Additionally, I received numerous bonus points that I could use to pump up the interest rate on CDs. There were no fees associated with SUM ATMs which was a fairly extensive network in the area. If I was in the area I would absolutely use that credit union again.

Solid Local Credit Union

Posted by: |

Don't use UMassFive as my primary bank, but do use them for the local branch access.  Solid small CU, good customer service and friendly employees.  Decent rewards checking.  Main reason I don't use them as my main bank is the fairly primitive web presence -- no direct connect for transaction downloads (have to manually log in), ugly website, and no mobile check deposit, although ACH transfers post pretty quickly.  No complaints for in-person transactions, though.

Faulty App, Checking Transactions Entered For Incorrect Amount

Posted by: |

A word of warning. The app and online banking system are faulty. I am routinely unable to login and their is no way to regain access without calling their call center which only operates between 9ish and 5ish. I have been locked out on business trips.

Additionally, their branches have a "down home" feel and don't ask for deposit slips and don't provide a receipt unless you ask. I had two checks entered for up to 200.00 to low which caused a serious embarassment for me having to ask the person to write another check. The bank offered nothing more than an apology...it was their fault.

Finally, when I closed the account, the bank clerk wrote a cashiers check for the leftover balance but forgot to actually close the account. As a result they cleared two online transactions creating a negative balance and a MAJOR hastle with their customer service functions.

I wanted to do business with a local bank but this is NOT the one.
