Who wants my $$$?
Permalink  
 


Actually, the question should be: Who deserves it?

I decided to close an account that I've had for about 20 years with Finance Center Federal Credit Union. It's not a large account, but I'm frustrated with their online banking service, plus the fact that there are very few actual branches in the city.

When I finally had time to talk to someone in person, it was obvious that she could NOT have cared less. There are no longer any "managers" present, or so I was told. There was, however, an office.

Most of our money is in Chase. I've been with them since high school, believe it or not.

I would, however, like to keep some money in an account (my name only). I just have to decide where.

If you like Chase, open an 2nd account at Chase in your name.

 No, I want a totally different bank.

But thanks.

Is there a "local" bank where you live? Still quite a few of these in the Midwest. Usually give good service..

 That's what I used to get at the credit union. I'll ask at work, as well.

I vote a credit union. They are so much more personable and human.

 Unfortunately, I've now had bad experiences with 2 credit unions: FCFCU and Teacher's.

I may check others.

I personally don't find a credit union any better than a bank. I use the local bank and they seem very nice and helpful most of the time.

My regular bank is a local one. But I have my savings account with Edward Jones still. A few more restrictions on how you can get your money (they don't handle cash, and they have to mail checks for distributions. But you can set up to electronically move money between your "regular" account at the bank). I like it for a savings account. It's harder to get to, so I'm less likely to spend it on a whim.

I would look for another nearby credit union, then sit in their lobby for an hour or two talking to customers about their experience with them.

We've been very happy with NEFCU (Nassau Educators Federal Credit Union),

DS1 has been happy with our branches of TFCU (Teachers Federal Credit Union).

 

Don't know if that's the SAME Teachers you didn't like.

I've been totally happy with Wells Fargo - hope you have a branch near you. There is very little employee turn-over, so they get to know their customers well.

Once I was having trouble transferring money from a saving account to a checking account on line. I called my local branch, and they immediately took care of the transfer, just because they recognized my voice. Customer Service is their middle name!

I have most of my joint savings in a bank but a personal account in a credit union. I like to keep my eggs in different baskets.
