Stopped into our local ICCU today to fix a problem on my husband's app and go withdraw some funds…read more We usually head to this branch to deposit and grab money but with the road construction going on on State, it's been a branch we unfortunately avoid. We were heading home so it was easy for us to get to the bank since we were heading west on State. Headed in, got my husband's app taken care of by Cheryl today. She was super helpful and patient with us. I know she was just as frustrated as we were since the app wasn't playing nice. After a couple phone calls, we finally got an extra account added to his app. I got some funds taken out for some walking around cash. Quick and easy visit. I have been heading to a few different locations to get my banking needs taken care of. I do look forward to when State St is finally complete and I can head back to my neighborhood branch to get all my banking needs taken care of. The staff is always nice and helpful.

We had an amazing experience with the Benchmark team for our home refinance!…read more From start to finish, the whole process took less than 21 days! (Two other banks quoted us 60 days MINIMUM to process our refinance.) Benchmark quoted us a 30 day or less timeframe and they kept that promise. We were given comparison documents less than 24 hours after providing our personal information and what we were hoping to accomplish with the refinance. The staff was vary transparent and kept us updated along the way. Their customer portal was very easy to use and navigate through when uploading and signing documents, as well as seeing exactly when documents were reviewed and accepted. We called the office several times with questions and they were always cheerful and helpful. We were never put on hold, and they always returned calls quickly. Through the whole process, it felt like we were their only clients because of how much attention they dedicated to us. I was honesty amazed by the level of customer service. Between their "family" like feel, the quality of ethics, and detail of service, Benchmark has been the best company we have ever worked with in the industry. I highly recommend them and will absolutely be using them again next time we purchase or refinance a home.

ICCU partners with Visa. Both institutions claim that their customer's purchases are protected…read more However, if a dispute takes too long, or the dishonest merchant draws out the process, both ICCU and Visa will deny the dispute, despite evidence, due to time. Both institutions will deny fault and blame the other to avoid accountability. This is a choice, not due to law. Mastercard does not do this. Other banks and credit unions don't all do this. Consumers are not protected banking and holding credit with ICCU. Poor customer service and a lack of honesty

Last week I contacted ICCU to see if I can suspend my truck loan and required insurance until my…read moretruck is released. It does not make sense to make payments or have insurance for a truck that has been impounded? Carly stated that the bank can only suspend 2 months of my required truck payments. Dakota stated that they can only allow me to carry comprehensive insurance but suspend my collision insurance. Neither employee was willing to escalate my request and really didn't care if I took my business elsewhere. (win the battle but lose the war mentality) My name is Matthew Gatlin, and I am reaching out in hopes that you may be able to assist me with a situation that has had a severe impact on my life. On Sunday, January 25, 2026, I loaned my 2023 Toyota Tundra to an individual named Jacob Street. While he had possession of my vehicle, he became involved in a road rage incident that tragically resulted in the shooting death of another individual. As a result, my truck was impounded by the Meridian Police Department as part of the investigation. I want to make it clear that I had no involvement in this incident beyond loaning my vehicle. Since then, I have been trying to recover my truck. From what I understand, all agencies involved have approved the release of my vehicle except for the Public Defender's Office, specifically Monica Grey and Scott Rowley. I have made multiple attempts to contact their office by both phone and email, but I have not received any response. This situation has created a serious hardship for me. I am a 100% disabled veteran currently battling prostate cancer, and my truck is essential for my daily life and my livelihood. Because I no longer have access to my vehicle, I have been forced to shut down my business, leaving me without income.

I'm lucky to be in my home finally but you need to be warned about their business practices and affiliations that ultimately leave a buyer at the mercy of the lender and builder. What a nightmare. Team Lane had to be taken off of my file toward the end because he could not help himself from himself. Team Mandi took over and they got me to the finish line. Not without a lot of unnecessary stress. Very disorganized and not interested in being an educator with their clients but rather condescending bullies. Not a company I would ever recommend to anyone in my lifetime.

The review of two Mortgage Companies (A cautionary tale and…read morewhy staying local is key) Sorry if this is a little long winded but I have to give high praise to Tina Burney of Premier Mortgage Resources here in the Treasure Valley. I don't write reviews on goods or services unless they are really bad or really good. And now The Rest of the Story.... I decided I wanted to go from a 30 yr fixed to a 15 yr fixed and pull some cash out. Having been a mortgage loan officer and California real estate licensee for 20 years, I know the business. And because of that I know that my situation with my finances, credit, stability, etc is what we used to refer to when I was in the business as a "slam dunk" deal. I decided to contact my current mortgage holder, Freedom Mortgage for this need because I had been with them for over 5 years. What a mistake that was! Long story short, Freedom Mortgage company was inept, unprofessional and non-communicative. After 3 months of playing with this company, I ended up e-mail blasting 15 top level executives to include the CEO to try to get some action. They still could not pull it together! A friend of mine told me his son had just had a great experience with Tina Burney at Premier Mortgage Resources so I called her. After talking with her, I decided to pull my application from Freedom and to reapply with Tina. I found her very professional, knowledgeable and fast! On May 6th she took my application. On May 8th she had an approval pending the title report. We signed our docs on May 22nd and the deal was funded, recorded and wire transfer in the bank was complete on May 28th. So what Freedom Mortgage couldn't get done in over 3 months, Tina Burney got done in 22 days start to finish! Bottom line is this. If you want your loan process to go smooth and fast, go to Tina. And no I do not get any kickbacks for this! She is just that good!

Review update January 2020. Melinda continues to be the lender I trust the most in the…read moreBoise/Treasure Valley market. Melinda is now the manager for the local Guaranteed Rate office. She has also had a name change to Melinda McCaslin. Melinda isn't necessarily a yelper. I think I actually ended up creating a profile when I first left a review for her years ago. She simply the best in our local market--I needed yelpers to know about her! I had a yelper reach out to me for her current contact information so I am updating the review to reflect that. Whether VA, local Idaho housing options that out of state buyers may not know about, conventional, or jumbo mortgages, Melinda is the most knowledgeable loan officer out there. She also gets things done 100% of the time and I trust her completely for my own mortgage needs and those of my clients. melindam@rate.com or 208-631-9194
