I was approved for a loan a few months ago. I received a phone call yesterday stating that my 1st payment was passed due and if I did not make a payment before 5 o'clock additional charges would be added. They stressed how this report would be sent to the credit bureau etc. I felt so embarrassed. I have always paid my bills and i do not pay bills late. I have a high credit score for that reason. I was so appreciative that I was approved for the loan and for you to think that i was not going to keep my share of the commitment was hurtful. I was waiting for a billing statement, email or something letting me know that my payment was due on the 25 of every month beginning April. I promise you that I will pay you before time and more than double my monthly payments. I always pay my debts!

SFCU lacks the ability to transfer money to my other credit union I also deal with.

Credit unions are often recognized for providing more personalized and accessible customer service. However, after being denied a personal loan, I was unable to receive any additional information regarding the reason for the denial, steps I could take to improve my chances in the future, or recommendations for reliable next steps. Effective communication goes a long way, especially in situations where members are seeking clarity and guidance on important financial matters.I also requested information regarding a previously closed account and was referred to the credit bureaus, which had no record of the alleged debt.What is especially disappointing is that only 30 minutes later, I contacted a different credit union and was approved for the same type of loan using the same credit bureau information.This raises the question of why I would continue recommending or suggesting this credit union, one I have been with for years; over another institution I have only been with for one year, but which has consistently provided excellent customer service, more convenient locations, and a much more personal and detailed experience.

The type of account that is associated with a fee. When I first opened an account with SFCU there was no fee. Now, if I don't use my debit card at least 20 times a month, I get charged a fee. I feel that is a penalty.

I am really disappointed with smart financial credit union since you enrolled me in a life insurance without my knowledge. I am still trying to figure it how was the process done. You tried to blame the insurance company but they didn’t enrolled me. You did.
