Terrible experience with this bank. I had fraudulent charges on my account and they refuse to do anything to help me even with proof of identity theft and a police report. They say I "authorized" $5,000 of charges and refuse to provide proof of how they were authorized. read more

The workers and manager are Awesome! I really enjoyed going to the Red Canoe. They were always spot on with my finances, and very helpful. God Bless you for your kindness. read more

I'm deeply disappointed by Red Canoe Credit Union's handling of my auto loan. After a year of on-time payments, I noticed unusual withdrawal activity and payment issues in April. I contacted them in early May to resolve what I believed was an internal technical error. Despite having sufficient funds and following the instructions I was given, my account was mishandled--and my vehicle was posted for repossession without any written notice or meaningful support. The problem stemmed from what appeared to be a system glitch, yet instead of helping me resolve it, Red Canoe escalated the situation with no accountability. I mailed and emailed a formal dispute, followed up multiple times, and filed complaints with both the CFPB and Washington State Attorney General. I've received no response at all one month later. It's unacceptable for a credit union to ignore a member in distress--especially when their own systems caused the issue. read more

I have been banking there for years no issue really and then today they very purposely messed with me and then we're horribly rude on the phone and even hung up on me. Already guessing they will reply with a blame the customer attitude read more

Mortgage Department is a joke. I cannot get anyone to follow up on a request. So far I have had three people handle the initial request and then it drops into a black hole. This is a loan that my deceased mother had, and is being paid off in big lump sums within 2 years, but regardless, they are not able to offer customer service at all. What do they do? Just process the initial loan? If my husband and I ever want an equity or new mortgage we will NEVER use these guys. Oh and the way, the "servicing" company" they use is in timbuktu, and the people in the Longview who you talk to cannot make any decisions without their approval (in the black hole). If Yelp had zero stars that's what they would get. I first requested a change on the loan back in June, and still haven't been able to get past the first person. Cathy Gawith read more

Very good people in the bank itself. Call center, most of them are nice. The few who ate not are more than nasty enough for everyone. I called up and asked how to do something, got a snotty lady. Asked for a supervisor, nope. Hangs up on me. I call back to ask my question and leave a complaint about the rude person. No one calls. Their systems are being updated and it is hard frustrating. Bank cards randomly don't work for a day. All this is normal and most credit unions offer pretty much the same menu. The only thing any of them can offer more of and better SERVICE. Theirs is becoming unreliable and unhelpful. read more

Always wonderful people and service. I'm always welcomed with a smile and they are super fast when you need a car loan!

Highly disappointed as I've been a member since 1994. I've had several loans and always paid them off early when I was working. Now that I'm retired they denied me a loan that would have consolidated my bills and I'm currently making the payments with no late payments. With the consolidation I'd save 200 bucks a month. But they wouldn't do a loan when I actually needed it. I'm considering switching to a different credit union as my previous history with Red Canoe means nothing to them. read more

I wish it were possible to give negative stars because that is what Red Canoe deserves. Shame On Red Canoe credit union for the lack of customer service your employees in the branch exhibit AND the employees answering your customer service phone in addition to the auto loan reps that reach out to customers. I personally worked for a financial institution for many years, I am very aware of policies & procedures & how to treat/not treat customers. I am shocked with the way this bank treats customers, its outrageous demands & the complete lack of cooperation in obtaining your demands. I will tell anyone & everyone to steer clear of this awful place every chance I get read more

Have appreciated the years of quality financial services provided by Red Canoe for my family. Any issues have always been resolved quickly. For example, was having difficulty activating a new debit card on a joint account. Wanda was upbeat, positive, cheerful, and determined to see the issue resolved and the card activated. Online banking, phone support, and in branch service have always met my expectations for customer service. Appreciate Red Canoe's commitment to customer satisfaction. read more

Shelly was AMAZING!!!!!! Can't say much while waiting for her assistance.............. MINUS 5 STARS Sitting here in the lobby waiting for a banker, and watching an older female employee wearing a shield at the front desk. Has the customer service personality of a badger. Oh my goodness I can't wait to get back to the Kelso branch. For one an elderly lady can in to get her change counted, and wasn't able to fine the counter. This employee was so furt with her and actually argued with this poor elderly lady that the machine did move. WOW then she'd left her area for some sort delivery another customer came in yelling if they needed a cashier or what. Personally this employee should not be the wrlcoming representative of the main branch of Red Canoe. read more

I have to close the account due to a very poor customer service. Somehow in 10 years I was not able to establish a good relationship and trust. Manager and staff on Allen street branch should have a proper coaching in communication and customer relations. Somehow they have no clue how to provide a quality customer service and establish positive customer relationship. I should not be facing unprofessionalism and treated with disrespect in a bank facility. read more

Just because I don't use my account a lot they charge you $10.00 this is BS so I will close my account they don't like my money I have had my account there for many years when they were Weyco credit union since 1975 ,they sure got a lot of bad reviews that should tell you something go somewhere else. read more

Despite being a member for over 35 years and always paying off my loans months and sometimes years ahead of time, now that I'm retired they won't give me a loan. One way street with them. read more

This is my go to bank for all my financial needs. I've had the pleasure of working with several tellers, bankers, and the management once and they all genuinely want to be as helpful as they can. At times they can get very busy and have a large line but they have enough tellers to get through everyone quickly and effectively. This is one of the few banks open on weekend too which is helpful. They offer a great deal doing balance transfers for credit cards to help people get out of debt too which I used and found to be immeasurably helpful. If your in the market for a new bank I suggest coming over here for a visit! read more

Red Canoe Credit Union - Banks & Credit Unions Near Me - Longview, Washington

So was banking here since 2021. Opened an Account everything seemed fine. Then I ran into some issues with my Pay dates changing. No worries...right? No...Red Canoe charges you a Courtesy Fee of $30 to over draw your account even if you don't want that to happen. So if a bill comes in as an Reoccurring fee, and they don't deny the charge, they pay it...then charge you a $30 "Courtesy Fee" I went from 2 dollars, to Negative $500+ Event after I went in and demanded that be stopped. Nope it went through again and again. Even after I told them, Stop all charges. Nope, said it was my fault. I have never had a bank or Credit union do this ever. I am the kind of person that lives paycheck to paycheck, sometimes a bill doesn't get paid right on time. Well, with Red Canoe, you will always be in the behind...and it is your fault Don't forget that. read more

Avoid this credit union at all costs! Their loan collection processes are questionable at best and their business practices are seriously flawed. Think twice before doing business with this establishment, then think about it again, and for your own good find another banking solution. read more

I'm going to talk to a lawyer. These guys tried to collect a dept after 20 years ( I didn't even know I did owe them) . I don't think that is legal after 7 years when they do a tax write off on it. Keep your eyes open with this bank... read more

Service is as slow as ever. Stop playing chatty kathy with members in the drive thru so the rest of us can go about our day. Don't let customers be chatty either. Its just rude. Stop holding people's deposites hostage over debt during the pandemic. Its extremely tone deaf and rude. read more

Honestly the worst banking experience I have EVER had in my life. I sent my car loan payment via bill pay (with documentation showing that the money was withdrawn from my account -before my due date), and due to either a system error on my primary bank's end, or a postal service delay, the payment arrived to Red Canoe late. They immediately reported this to all three credit bureaus (which is how I found out about the "late" payment in the first place), and my score dropped 117 points - I have never missed a car payment in my life. I am in the middle of buying a house. I called the bank multiple times to explain what happened, and there is "nothing they can do" and obviously could not care less. I absolutely cannot refinance this loan with another lender fast enough. Please, please, please AVOID THIS BANK. I will for sure be telling everyone I know (including the finance manager at the dealership who works with this place) to avoid at all costs. read more

This place time and time again oh my gosh..I dont know how they stay in business..the customer service deplorable. They wont cash a check signed to my wife for 15$ if I dont get forced to open a account when we have a 300,000 loan with them! Got a 10,000 credit card only for emergencies go to use it as a emergency it was declined for 1200.00 .. 3 times before letting a CEO have it about the one job a c.c is suppose to do is make a purchase. Almost everything about this bank sucks!! And we let go of a long standing wells Fargo account after 20 years for this all in 5 months.. I regret this small town bank with small minded mentality and its abilities to act big but show just how small and worthless they really are!!! read more

Staff are always friendly and help in a timely manner. The fact you are unable to use Apple Pay is kind of rinky dink.

I have a small business account here. I just got charged fees that I did not know about for depositing and withdrawing money that apparently went over some amount not disclosed. Called 4 different times and no one could outline the exact rules for why I was getting fees. Not once did anyone offer to reverse the fees. Finally got an answer 3 days later. read more

I LOVE Red Canoe! Formerly/still known as WECU, Weyerhauser Employees Credit Union, a few years ago they got a name and branding update since they are open to everyone with an affiliation with the whole state of Washington or certain counties in Oregon. They are headquartered in Longview where I grew up, but all the branches I've been to have equally great service. The people are friendly, they have bowls of candy, they make you feel welcome, it's easy to get your banking needs taken care of. And they really care about contributing to the community. But here's the reason they get an unequivocal five stars... drumroll.... in my about ten years as a member, transitioning from a teen to a student to an adult, using different service types, they have NEVER charged me a fee. EVER. For anything. Not one cent. I have lived in Longview, and on the east coast, and in another country, and now in SF.. and I will never give up my Red Canoe account. If you are even slightly considering doing business with any financial institution, go here! You won't regret it!!! read more

I live 30 miles from the closest RC so as a business I have to do mobile deposits. They do NOT release funds until my edt or checks go through and therefore I have had numerous $30 charges against my account. Way to go for supporting small businesses RC. I would NOT recommend them and have heard the same from others. I will be moving my account which is quite a deal for a business, but am frankly discouraged and very tired of their lack of support. read more

A great bank! After years of dealing with the unethical and uncaring Wells Fargo and Bank of America, I'm so very glad I found Red Canoe when I moved to Longview. They actually seem to care about their members. Any time I have some type of issue or problem, I've called and spoke with a polite and helpful banker that fixes my problems. My most recent incident serves as a great example: I have a VISA credit card through Red Canoe CU. My payment was due on the 16th (a Wednesday) and I didn't make the payment until I received my next paycheck on the 18th (a Friday). On Monday the 21st, I noticed that VISA had charged me a $25 late fee for the payment and it hadn't processed yet. I called the main RCCU branch, waited a minute or two on hold, and then explained my situation to the friendly woman (Hallie) who was helping me out. I told her I was under the impression that I had a 5 day grace period on my payment. She put me on hold for a few minutes to look into the situation. She explained that Visa has a delay at times when payments come through on a weekend. She said the late charge shouldn't be on there and should go away when the payment (within the 5 day grace period) is processed. She went above and beyond and gave me her direct line and the hours she would be available the next day to call her back if the late charge wasn't removed. Thankfully, the late charge was removed on Tue the 22nd and I didn't have to call the bank back. I am completely confident that if I still had an issue, they would have handled it. read more

This is a wonderful credit union. I've had people be so rude at other places, but people have always been super kind and helpful at Red Canoe. They've helped me and my family a lot over the years and we've trusted them for a long time. :) read more

Not customer oriented at all, so concerned off constantly asking if people are on accounts even just to make a deposit for someone else(which is perfectly legal) that they forgot how to treat people. Watch how many people close accounts here really soon:) read more

I have used red canoe for the last 5 years and of course once my loan is about over they find ways to fee you to death. I sent in my truck payment like normal and went on with life. 3 months later they send me a late notice. They said they never got my payment.... No big deal made the extra payment. Now I owe them 75 dollars in late fees because my payment is 3 months late. The whole time this went on they were hitting my credit with 30 day lates. Even though I settled up with them now they won't fix my credit... They have terrible customer service. read more

I have been a customer for over 30 years now and been very happy. I am getting frustrated with the site having so many issues lately and very important information unavailable. I am in the middle of my taxes, sale of my home and NEED my account access! read more

Been a customer of Red Canoe for over 4 years now. Never had a problem and would definitely recommend.

Horrible customer service. I've had an account for years, paid of multiple cars and ran a business account with this credit union. Regularly found the staff unreliable yet I just passed it off as "small town" and let it go. When I closed my business, a check to another business came in after the fact in error. They refused the check, no money lost to them, then assessed nearly $100 in fees to a closed business account. All this happened without my knowledge. As the business had been closed for months. The next time I deposited in my personal Red Canoe account they took the money from my separate, unconnected personal account. When called on it they refused to remove fees even though for YEARS all the accounts had been kept in perfect standing. After years of being an excellent customer, paying off multiple auto loans and running tens of thousands of dollars through their business this is the great treatment of the little guy by our LOCAL credit union. No thanks...My account is being closed and I'm going back to the "cold impersonal large bank" . read more

Thank goodness for Red Canoe. I have been having major issues with a car that was totaled, that GAP claim was supposed to pay off (see my review for Stirling Honda - horrific experience with them) but Red Canoe has been fantastic about the whole thing. Michelle Mortensen especially. read more

Been banking here literally my entire life! I couldn't imagine going anywhere else. Great service!

Very disappointed they only list an 800 number for all of your branches and then when you call that you can't get transfer to a live person you have to leave a message. I can understand someone being busy and not being able to get through right away but I would think if your calling into and 800 number you would be able to get a hold of someone. read more

If I could give Red Canoe Credit Union a negative rating, I would. First of all, we live out of state so we have to go to a sister branch to make payments. We went in to make a payment and there was some sort of block on the account. So we had to leave and try to get it figured out with someone at the Longview, WA branch. BTW, the worst people to work with are Donna Yonker, Jessica Rutlidge, and Tim Amato. This incident happened on a Friday and we were unable to go to make the payment on Saturday because we were going to be out of town. So, we missed out payment and my husband flew into Seattle for business that Monday and went straight to the branch to make a payment. They refused to take our money for the payment. Came back and said that we would now have to pay the car IN FULL!!! The note on the care was around 8k and the car is probably worth MAYBE 3k. After a lot of back and for with the above mentioned individuals, they decided that not only would we have to pay the car loan in FULL, now they wanted us to pay off our Visa IN FULL (10k). So this 3k car had turned into a nearly $20k nightmare!!! They refuse to email you back and try to work something out. They put you between a hard place and say their way is the only way or the highway. So, here we are with a repossession order out for this 14 year old Mercedes!! And on top of this, they hire a repossession company that harasses your friends and family. It's complete nightmare that could've been avoided had they just let us make a payment on a Monday. I've never had another bank treat me the way that they do. I'll be keeping my business with WSECU from here on out! read more

Red Canoe has either lost focus or abandoned much of the 'small town' service it may have offered at one time. A lot of waiting and very slow service when we opened an acct, and they had just one person working a multiple lane drive thru yesterday. It took ten minutes to help the one lady who was there first, and while I was in a different Lane, my deposit sat for so long that my wife finally asked me to hit the call button to see if it had been forgotten. I'm not an impatient person, and I had time to wait. However, they leave a lot of questions about what their business model might be. read more

Good customer service? HA HA HA HA HA. Right. Terrible customer service always have an attitude never helpful, they are completely inconsistent in every thing they do. I've been with this bank since before they were red canoe. Years I've been with them. read more
