I recently had an urgent banking matter involving a check deposit that needed to be credited to my…read moreaccount as quickly as possible and required additional approval. After not having the experience I had hoped for at another location, I visited the Kinecta Federal Credit Union branch on Sepulveda Boulevard in Manhattan Beach,(closest to my house). I'm so glad I did. The Manhattan Beach branch has consistently provided outstanding service over the years, and this experience reinforced why I continue to bank with Kinecta Federal Credit Union. Mekila Nevens provided truly exceptional customer service. She not only ensured my deposit was handled promptly, but she also followed through on every detail to make sure everything was completed correctly. She took ownership of the situation, kept me informed throughout the process, and went above and beyond to ensure my account was taken care of. I knew I was in great hands from the moment Mekila began helping me. While I was there, I noticed several customers go out of their way to compliment her. It was clear that she has earned the trust, respect, and appreciation of the members she serves. Watching those interactions reinforced that the outstanding service I received is simply the standard she sets for everyone. I would also like to recognize Sandro, another outstanding representative at the Manhattan Beach branch. Every interaction I have had with him has been professional, friendly, and helpful. Employees like Mekila and Sandro demonstrate the high level of customer service that makes this branch such a pleasure to work with. That level of professionalism, attention to detail, is rare and deserves recognition. Employees like Mekila and Sandro are tremendous assets to Kinecta Federal Credit Union and are a big reason I continue to value my membership. Thank you, Mekila and Sandro, for your outstanding service and for making what could have been a stressful situation so much easier. Your dedication, professionalism, and kindness are truly appreciated.

Update: Orlando Gonzalez, the regional manager, called me last week to personally apologize for my…read morebad experience at this branch. I'm assured that the staff are receiving the appropriate training to deal with customers and business clients. The business checking bonus incentive is being honored by F&M without further incident and the branch is making an effort to accommodate me. Review: I was a previous personal checking account holder and decided to come in for a new business checking account. F&M was running a $500 new business checking bonus offer. Since I never had business products/services from F&M, and wasn't an account holder, I was eligible. The banker I met with to open the account confirmed I qualified and asked for my standard business documentation including articles of incorporation, EIN, etc ... Things appeared to be going well. An hour later I was informed that I couldn't receive the bonus because I was a client of F&M! I explained that this decision was inconsistent with the advertised terms and conditions and I wasn't a client because I didn't have any accounts. I made a last ditch attempt to reason with them but was told I couldn't receive the checking bonus because I would be a signer on the account. The Rolling Hills Estates branch was unwilling to honor their advertised special and unprofessional in their business dealings.

Excellent, excellent service by Christianne. My family members have accounts here and my son took…read moreme in one day to open an account under him. I have a few accounts with a couple other banks, including another credit union, but I wanted the ease of being able to transfer money quickly to and from my son and of course it's easier with the same banking institution. We came in, signed in, and waited for our turn. It didn't take long at all, but we have been in at other times and it did take a little while. Opening the new account was quick and painless. In fact, it seemed like it was faster than opening up an account elsewhere. Christianne also educated my son on the app, which is very user friendly. This location has two ATM machines that you can deposit, withdraw, and check your balances from. Beware, sometimes it can be slow to count cash and process when you are making deposits, so just be aware of your surroundings. There is also another ILWU location in Wilmington and they are affiliated with a network of other credit unions throughout the country, if you find yourself elsewhere and need access to your accounts.

I had a very disappointing experience with one of the employees named destiny at this branch. I…read morecame in with what should have been a simple banking matter that banks handle every day, but instead of receiving assistance, I was met with an unprofessional attitude. The employee was rude, raised her voice during our conversation, and spoke to me in a disrespectful manner. Rather than listening and trying to help resolve the issue, she made the situation unnecessarily stressful. As a customer, I expect to be treated with courtesy and professionalism, regardless of the circumstances. I hope management addresses this employee's customer service skills, as no customer should feel disrespected or spoken to this way when seeking routine assistance

Great rates and the Branch Manager Matthew is extremely professional and so very personable and helpful.

The only thing negative I would say is that they are rebranding and changing the name which I don't love but small price to pay for the EXCELLENT service!

Hi guys, I'm back so I wanted to tell you about this bank. This is one of the worst banks ever…read morefirst of all they route to people of a certain color and then second of all they act like they're a small bank they're rude. They're disrespectful and you kind of wonder if they're still in your money you know they kinda do underhanded things and when you call corporate, they act like they don't know what's going on, but they know so again do your due diligence, but thanks like These, definitely stay away from. I'm here to tell you one of the worst banks ever until next time. See ya thank you.

Some of the bs you should expect from TCCU, will be: - The laziest, slowest, most incompetent "auto loan specialists" you've ever experienced. If you'd like to waste an hour, on something that should take 15mins, come to TCCU. - No one EVER answers the phone... NEVER. You'll know the answering service reps by first name while you never reach anyone at the TCCU Branch. - If you decide to walk in to the branch, (because they obnoxiously -never- answer the phone) the person you actually need will -never- be available, and "no one else can help you." - If you then ask them to have said person call you back... They may or may not call you back. If they do, you likely won't be available...And then you'll be right back in the cycle of never reaching anyone. - If you want an online portal that doesn't keep record of your account activity/ history, you'll love their crap portal. - I could actually go on and on, but I don't give a sh*t to, anymore... This joke of an establishment is dead to me, now. I'll be pulling my money and taking it elsewhere... You'd be smart to never waste your time.
