I was struggling due to losing a job i asked for a extension before they shut down our account was only given 1 day. Our tax money was going to be deposited soon to pay off the - balance but they wouldn't do it. No compassion or expression as I stood there crying from a bank teller. read more

Helping a relative pay her ECU credit card online (instead of mailing paper) became a time-waster. There's a $1500 daily limit on transactions INCLUDING paying off a credit card. Any amount over that, the customer has to come back a different day. First chat/call, rep insisted the $1500 limit was from the paying account & not from ECU. So had to call that institution & they told us no, it was on ECU end. Called ECU back & finally got them to admit the $1500 limit was on their end. Asked them to change it... no, they wouldn't change it. 'Why can't you just do it across multiple days?' Another issue. I have POA on the ECU accounts but they could not provide me with a separate login for the account. So I don't have access when they prompt me for 2FA. I had an account with them in the past but moved it when they messed up. Had to file with the IRS (recharacterize tax year) to get the problem corrected. Go elsewhere. read more

I have been a customer for MANY, MANY years having checking, savings and mortgage @ECU. I recently opened a biz account and I wish I hadn't. To give my customer good customer service (pay attention ECU) I offered them the option to pay via check. ECU held my initial check deposit for over 17 days before I had access. Now a month later, they need to hold the second check for 5 biz days. I'm sure the check cleared asap! Small biz needs cash flow! I have to take from my personal account to pay bills. When I opened my account, I wish they would have been more honest and let me know I would not have access to my funds for almost a month, and after that... they would be holding checks that I deposit. I am sure, in this age of technology that the check I deposited cleared immediately. Why then hold my funds. This is unacceptable read more

I thought i had a bunch of fraudulent transactions on my card but it turned out it was my husband. Lol I was helped by Karen in the customer service department and she was so patient and understanding with me. Thank you so much for your help! read more

Educator's Credit Union participates in account draining. Lack of accountability and customer support. ECU seemingly embezzles money by ghosting your transactions through digital banking e.g. when funds are held to ensure you have money in the account during a transaction process. Digital register will never match your purchase receipts and paper ledger. read more

I have been work ECU for years for personal banking and my Mortgage. They have always been wonderful.. but I had exceptional service from Tricia Gustin when I went in for help with setting up my Mortgage payments. She was patient, understanding, provides great tips and resolved all my issues. Thank you! read more

I have been a member with educators since the early 2000's. I have been impressed with my experience with them. They are always responsive and truly make me feel comfortable. I highly recommend Educators Credit Union :) Also, their online access to Bank Tellers is a game changer! Saves everyone the drive, time, and more. Thanks for all your help Educators. read more

There are other credit unions who are conducting business, using experienced people at the top of their game. This place unfortunately does not. You can call and leave messages and nobody responds, except with finally saying they are just too busy. Give your hard earned money to an institution who is more qualified to accept your hard earned money. read more

Very unpleasant experience with a refinance. They didn't respond. We ended up closing the account.

ECU is the best banking service that I have ever used. Friendly people who go out of there way to assist you. Excellent place to do business. Highly recommend read more

10 years ago I would call Educators C. U. and the President himself would answer his own phone (usually in 2 rings) Call today and you are hanging a slow ride on the Educators Phone robot merry-go-round. Call anytime of the day and you hear "we are experiencing larger than normal call volume - please hold". Why not stop lying to us and try some old fashioned customer service and put a few more employees on the phones? And why must I pay you $10.00 for the privilege of making a car payment on the telephone? When I got my loan you went out of your way to offer convenient phone payments - but never mentioned a $10.00 fee for a valued customer. read more

This is not my branch, but being a big fan of both YELP and Educators Credit Union, I felt I had to visit all the branches to see. Well this one also is very pleasant, sunny, friendly with great staff. And, free coffee. You know those evil big banks that tanked the world economy in 2008? These little credit unions had NOTHING to do with that. That alone is enough to get my business, but having been victimized most of my life by big evil banks it was refreshing to find the reasonable fees and policies practiced by Educators Credit Union. And don't forget the free coffee. read more

Just bought a second used car within the last year and a half. Both from large new car dealerships. Both tried to get us to finance through the dealership. Each time ECU was far and away the best rate. Friendly staff and close to home. read more

Having a car loan and try to apply for home equity loan, it's a complete fight. I try to use the online service but there is always an error when you try to get it done yourself, so I call and talk to a loan agent and after checking all income and credit, she promises to call back after having all paperwork approved. Well, all I get is a letter in the mail saying that unfortunately they cannot approve my request at this moment. What ever happened with the expected phone call? This woman named Vivian never called back or even sent me a direct email to let me know of the application status. So incompetent. Never have I made a late payment or have I been in negative balance. This place is not the same after their last manager passed. So sad. Will look for more options elsewhere. read more

Skilled staff in all areas. Easy to read transactions etc. on the internet. Always ready to respond to inquiries and solve the question in a timely fashion. Pleasant atmosphere. Wait time to teller not more than 4 min. read more

I have been a member for 25+ years. I have always praised Educators for their customer service. The experience has been second to none...until the past couple of years. There has been a slow, steady erosion of the overall customer experience. They are no longer standouts in any way. You're just a number, and they're a credit union in name only. They're like going to a bank. The customer-centric experience is gone. What a shame. read more

I was a client for several years and would have scored ECU 5 stars up until 3 years ago. Since that time I've been asked to change my account password at least 20 times for online banking and still routinely can not get into my own account. I've received one excuse after another but the problems are not corrected. read more

Long time member but can't say anything good about Educators Credit Union anymore. Fees are high, products are not competitive and you can't talk to tellers in person anymore. Tellers talk to you from remote locations on video screens. Credit unions are supposed to be better than banks in most ways and over the last few years they've managed to become worse than the big banks. read more

I've quite had it with this company. Tomorrow (Friday) will be the fourth time I've had to call because someone there can get it straight that I'm vacationing in Florida. Despite being told that everything will be straightened out, my card keeps sporadically being denied. In short someone needs to lose their job as they're completely incompetent. Good thing I'm not out of the country... read more

Literally the worst. Doing anything with this company is a hassle and a half; you can't even pay your loan payments online unless you want to transfer money to one of their savings or checking accounts first. If you want to refinance to a different company you're shit out of luck because they refuse to print full account numbers on ANY of their official documentation for security purposes. Completely paranoid, and backwards to boot. read more

Been a member for over 40 years. Good products, even better people. Always willing to help out and make helpful uggestions.

Very good credit union. We have been members a few years, and have been pleased with all their services. We especially love the new branch here in New Berlin. read more
