Great Service!
I had paused part way and saved my application for a CD. Once I had moved the funds to my hub bank, I called and got a CSR that finished my ap in ten minutes. Didn't lose a dime on the transfer. That CD was 3% for a year. Only lasted a couple of days.
BTW, the funds came from CIT Bank which transfers swiftly that evening....I had a CD with Alliance earlier and kept $1 in a savings account to save filling out forms the next time...The CSR transferred my beneficiaries on file in a second to my new CD..
Account Opening Was Very Time Consuming
Recently, I opened a new 12-month CD and member checking account at this very large credit union. I was told they have over 100,000 members and 2 separate customer service call centers in 2 different states. I opened these 2 accounts by phone all in one very long day, and during this long process talked to 9 different customer service representatives. They were all nice to work with, but they made several important mistakes and gave me incorrect information several times.
First, they entered my name and address incorrectly. I later caught these errors, but it was time consuming to go back and correct them in their various systems. Second, they needed to pull my credit report from one credit bureau. I have security freezes on all 3 credit bureaus, so I asked them which credit bureau they used. They said I could unfreeze any one of them, but after I chose one and unfroze it, they said they only use Experian, which was not the one I chose. So I had to spend more time and go through the unfreezing process again.
Third, they said I could use a credit card to make an initial small deposit into my new member checking account, and that there would be no charges or fees of any kind by the credit card company for this transaction. In actuality, the credit card company charges me for this transaction as a cash advance.
Fourth, I funded this new account by using an inbound wire transfer. USAlliance gave me a routing number and account number to do this, but the new account number they gave me was wrong and did not correspond to any account they currently have. So they said they did not receive any incoming wire transfer deposit, and they told me the wire transfer was rejected. However, when I called back 8 hours after my initial phone call to them, my account showed that the wire transfer did successfully go through, and I was able to finally open the CD that same day.
In short, if you open an account by phone, allow many hours to complete the process and check constantly for errors on their part. Why go through all of this? Because their promotional CD interest rates are among the highest offered at present.

Opening A Account Is Horrible - AVOID
So I liked the CD rate they were offering and called to open an account. The agents seemed fine but they provided conflicting information. My advise is this : if you have a credit freeze don't bother with this call center set up. They have no idea how to deal with it. One agent told me I had to provide them access to my credit through all 3 major credit bureaus. Seriously, I spent a few hours trying to open an account and finally gave up. If you don't live in the immediate area all you have to deal with is a call center. For a few hundredths of a point of interest it is not worth the head ache. AVOID
