great credit union

Posted by: lvwrangler | Jun 16, 2014

They have great services and very good customer service. The products are plentiful and fees are great compared to some of the local banks. The only negative I have encountered is the shortage of branches, however, what makes up for that is the amount of free atm transactions one can have per month. They have reliable customer service and the website is very serviceable. I have never had a problem getting things sorted if there are any issues with the account. They pay a minimal percentage on the savings account, with no minimum in the account. Most other banks have a minimum amount to have in the account before they charge a monthly service fee.

Good Bank Gone Bad

Posted by: Jille Glassbrook | Jan 1, 2016

I have been with West Star for five years now. I use the Valley View branch. The first four years they were great. The tellers and the management always very friendly and helpful. I loved it there. No longer. In past year or so they renovated and had a change in management and now it is the WORST bank to deal with. The new management is unfriendly and unhelpful and actually act like they resent having to deal with their customers. Twice now they have cheated me out of money by charging false NSF FEES. They reorganize the dates of payments to suit themselves just so they can charge you fees. I feel like this bank is stealing from me. They withheld large payment submitted on the 30th, paid out smaller payments that were made on the first. Then charged NSF fees on the big payments even after I transferred money. My statement clearly shows the right balance to cover payments on the 30th but they claim NSF for items pending on the 1st then bang me $38.50 which reduced the balance to NOT cover the payments made on the 30th. When I made the payment online on the 30th there was more than enough money to cover it. The website when I made the payment before five said it would be processed the next morning. But the monthly that was submitted on thw firat they processed first then claimed insufficient funds for the one on the 30th. Then on the 1st I had one montly come out and I had to go to home depot. So I transferred another $100. This is fraudulent. Twice I have called the bank and the girl was rude. I have been in to see the bank manager but is conveniently never there and never calls back. Disputes go unrecognized and no one follows up or communicates. STAY AWAY FROM THIS BANK IF YOU VALUE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY. I'll be closing ALL my accounts and credit cards first thing in the morning. Disgusted!!!
