I've never had to wait on hold for more than a minute when I've called them with an account question. When you call them, you talk to a real person at the bank, not someone in a call center overseas, or a robot. Their rates are very competitive; they're better than any other bank I've seen, and they're not out to nickel and dime you like most big banks are. Of course, you're going to get better savings rates with an online, high yield account, but their mortgage and car loan rates are much lower than what you'll find at a stealership, or a commercial mortgage lender. They've only got one branch, but you can use any of Commonwealth Credit Union's ATMs around town, as well as any AllianceOne network ATM. There's also a handful of shared branches across the country and state that you can use to get to your money. Did I mention they've got free online banking and billpay? I've been tempted to switch to Commonwealth Credit Union since they've got 4 branches in Frankfort and one in Lexington, but the folks at KECU just treat me right each time I come in.

After completing an application and a few emails back and forth with the loan officer, I was approved in no time and able to replace my furnace before the next freeze. The staff at KECU was very helpful and VERY patient with a loan newbie. I will definitely continue to bank with the friendly folks at KECU.

For me the latest experience with the web site has just about done me in. It is the most user unfriendly site I use. It seems to me that the site is now basically an advertising site for selling insurance and loans. I realize that these items are a revenue for the CCU but the customer still needs to be able to conduct business without spending time wading through this stuff. I am involved with a serious situation that to date has not been handled well I am going to be open minded and see how well the branch responds

Early in the day January 18th I had received a text message from CCU regarding a possible fraud alert. It stated the name of the business/company and amount that was attempting to charge my account. I had the option to YES accept the charge or NO report as fraud. I immediately responsed as NO and someone from VISA services called me. They verified all of my information and that I didn't authorize the charges. An immediate block was placed on my card and was told to go to my local branch to get a new debit card. I go right after work to get a replacement. Becky the receptionist when I walked took my information and relayed it to the next available service represent. I sat in the waiting center for May 3 minutes max when Keegan came out to take care of me. Keegan was very courteous and helpful. He made sure all charges were in fact rejected from my account, created a replacement and I was out within about 5 minutes with spending power again. I highly recommend CCU for all of your banking and financial needs.

Commonwealth Credit Union Thinks New Members are Fraudulent…read more Need some help finding a good bank, below here is my issue. Being a new to town I wanted to find a local place to put money. I had heard that Commonwealth Credit Union was amazing. Last Friday, the 7th about 11am I open up a checking and savings. I deposited cash and also about $300 in a personal check from a Lexington bank. I found out today, even though my personal check had cleared on Monday, July 10th from my bank in Lexington. So today, they tell me I can't have my money from a check that they cashed on Monday until July,18th. That's like 8 days for them to use MY money that I cannot have. They say, every check that I deposit will have a 8 day hold because they just can't trust new members for 30 days. But they did run my credit score when I signed up and it's around 750 to 790 and still no trust in new members for 30 days. WOW! How can you have a relationship with a company that does crap like this and I am so glad I did not put a bunch of money in this account. I have never heard of this insanity, usually it's like a 3 day hold. I even offered to print out a copy of the cleared check and bing it to them and they still said they don't trust customers for 30 days. . Once my check clears on Tuesday I will be closing my account. I am new to credit unions so this non-trust might be the norm, but on the phone they acted like I was a common criminal.. if you know of a good local bank let me know this was just the star of a vacation fund.
