Recently needed to make some changes to my account - customer service was nonexistent. Waiting hours online - representatives do not know what they are doing, providing incorrect info continually, supposedly fixing mistakes but never do, - callbacks never come. Finally had to leave. Do not use this bank.

I've used CFCU for over 30 years. Paid two mortgages with them and a few car loans. They've made A…read moreLOT of money with my money. I paid a higher interest fee over national banks because I wanted to keep the money local, and get decent service. And it WAS. But it ISN'T anymore. They've gone from "OK" to lousy. Here's why: 1) they attached hidden fees to my car loan that amounted to $15 a month/per payment (not including interest), 2) paying bills online was easy. Now that they've changed the online pay to an app (CFCU+), it's very difficult. The app isn't intuitive, nor easy, and includes zero pop-ups of what an icon means. Searching for a biller is now a scroll fest, because the search bar will let you find the biller -if you spell it fully, correctly, as entered. Once you find it, you can't select it. So now, you have to scroll to select it anyway, 3) want to send a message to them online for good service? Well that option is temporarily disabled. Temporarily means for weeks. Give them a call?, prepare for a LONG wait. Customer service was their middle name, now it's their middle finger. If you are searching for a good local bank/CU, look further. That's what I'm doing now. In frustration.

My experiences with Alternatives Federal Credit Union have largely been very positive…read more Shortly after filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy ten years ago, I applied to several banks and credit unions for an auto loan, and Alternatives by far provided me with the best loan terms (3.9% interest, while everyone else offered me loans at 10%). So of course I went with Alternatives 3.9% loan and was able to pay it off in two years and two months. Their loan officer was very helpful and understanding regarding my financial situation. I also took their ten week Moneywise financial literacy course which was excellent and very helpful regarding developing a much better understanding of budgeting, investing, debt, credit card selection and management, etc. With their help, I went from being $53,000 in debt to almost $300,000. in savings and investments over the past ten years. Hence (like most things in life), Alternatives Federal Credit Union is largely what you make of it!...
