Great To Work With!

Posted by: |

I've banked with them for 6 years, loved it. The folks at the branch are friendly and competent. No complaints about anything. Online banking with WebBranch works great, although I have not tried the mobile feature. No hidden fees, no overdraft charges.

Pretty good

Posted by: |

I have had zero problems when banking with the credit union. The online banking is far superior to my previous bank. Depositing check via mobile has saved me a lot of time and energy. They also have a much better web app. I have never had any user problems with it and constantly had problems with my old bank's app. It is very quick and easy to check my balance or do anything thing else through the app.

Would Never Use Them

Posted by: |

Wouldn't use them ever again. Got a HELOC in 2019. During the pandemic, I had 3 30 day Lates. I was completing an internship, was unable to work as I was a teacher, had to wait for over a year for my unemployment, and had COVID. When there collection people would call, I would explain to then what was going on and was told to pay when I could, which i did. Now I'm trying to get a debt consolidation loan and the 3 30 day lates are holding me up. My credit rating person told me to ask for them to be removed but they refused because they said they HAD to keep them on there. Talking to the people who are helping me build back up my credit, I Know they can do it, they just don't want to. Then when I explained about all of my circumstances, the man paused and said "Oh, no one wrote that down." This is the same company who will not send me a HELOC statement without jumping through hoops and continues to give me delays when I try to get online access in order to print them out myself. So, you can use them if you want but God help you if you have any kind of negative events in your life. Terrible, heartless, and pretty sure violating some kind of law somewhere. Go to them at your own risk.
