I actually spoke with a supervisor, and she told me there was nothing she could do for me, that I "had to go through the automated system". I explained to her that I actually had my card number, expiration date, and security code, my SS#, birthdate and everything she needed to validate me, but she said she could do anything for me. It is difficult when you lose something that is valuable and just want to turn off the ability to use the card, but are continually told there is nothing they can do. I had been very pleased with everything that Eastman had done for us previously, but this lack of customer service has me second guessing my decisions.

We've had good experiences with East Texas Professional Credit Union in the past -- great car loan…read morerates and friendly in-person service. Unfortunately, our recent experiences have been very disappointing. First, we were told we had to drive five hours to a branch in person to initiate a rollover. When we got there, we learned that wasn't true at all. All we needed to do was initiate it through our brokerage account directly. We weren't given that information up front, so the trip was a complete waste of time. Second, when we did proceed with the rollover check, it was mishandled. The check was sent without the account number, got rejected, and then was deposited into our regular account with a stop payment fee charged to us. It took more than two weeks and multiple inquiries to get that fee refunded. And when the refund finally came through, it wasn't even deposited into the correct account. Throughout this whole process, there was no communication, no explanation, and no apology. Finally, when we tried to make a principal-only payment on our vehicle loan, the service was just as poor. We were told it couldn't be done until the following week because of ACH, even though the funds were clearly available in our account. The representative promised to call us back multiple times but never followed through. We always had to chase her down, and every time we did, we were just given another excuse. Between being given misinformation, wasting time and travel, mishandling our money, refunding fees incorrectly, and failing to communicate, we've lost a lot of trust in this credit union. This whole experience has made us consider leaving ETPCU altogether. I hope they take accountability and improve, because this level of service is unacceptable.

Instead of providing solutions, I was met with "red tape" and outdated procedures that felt more like gatekeeping than banking. There was a significant lack of clear communication regarding requirements, leading to a "runaround" that wasted valuable time during my business transition. No one really seems to know what's what and what's going on in this institution. In an era where efficiency and digital integration are standard, this institution feels stuck in a "manual" mindset that is not conducive to growth or modern entrepreneurship. I have since moved my business and personal accounts to a different institution that actually values my time and understands the needs of a scaling professional. they also nickel and dime you on everything. Since I am moving out of their Service area, they waived the fee of closing my account within a month. Bottom line: If you are a business owner looking for a streamlined, supportive banking partner, look elsewhere. They are more focused on finding reasons why they "can't" help you than finding ways they can.

I've never experienced this with a bank and frankly it's the worst business practice i've ever dealt with, considering they won't give me my FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ISSUED CHECK. I'm more excited to close my account and never put another penny in than I am to get the money that i've been waiting for that made all of my bills late. The ladies are very nice though, i've never had any problems with kindness from the staff. The company procedures is where my issues lie, and whoever has been in charge for the past two years is possibly the most out of touch individual in east texas.

The final loan amount was higher than the actual principal amount to be financed. I had notified the bank, of this error prior to closing. They agreed to fixed this. Unfortunately, I did not catch the error at closing. And the bank refused to change the documents after I had already signed them. Shame on the bank. I would not recommend this bank.

Now closing maybe 7/21 and not even cleared on that or even gotten any update back. Now I'm in such a jam, because closing delayed once again. I get this process is not simple.

If I could rate Community Bank lower, I would. My father-in-law passed away on November 9th, and…read morealmost immediately, the bank returned his October Social Security payment. Social Security confirmed that, because he was alive in October, the bank had no legal grounds to withhold or return that payment. However, Community Bank insisted that they had received a notification from the SSA--yet the SSA hadn't even been informed of his passing at that point. After considerable effort, we spoke with Ty Gibson, who provided no help and merely cited "bank policy" as the reason. Even our local Social Security office admitted they frequently see this exact issue with Community Bank. The same thing happened when my mother-in-law passed eight years ago, and eventually, they had to issue us a check after much back and forth. This situation raises serious concerns: 1) How did the bank find out before the SSA? 2) Why was the payment returned for a period when my father-in-law was still alive? 3) Why does Community Bank persist with this practice when they know it's wrong? In short: AVOID Community Bank. Their handling of sensitive matters is unprofessional and unacceptable.
