Not a fan. I never understood the slogan of Alpine Bank, "A bank you can actually like," until I…read morewas a member of Bank of Carbondale. It never occurred to me that I wouldn't like my bank, until I was a member of Bank of Carbondale. There was a limit on how much I could remove from my debit card that caused me several problems. I asked to remove it numerous times and they refused. Finally, one person did remove it and said that it could have been removed all along, but there was no reason for me to be upset because it would be removed going forward. I had also signed up for a student account (which offers free checking) and was given a different type which of course wasn't free. I was told this was an accident. I didn't catch it for about 2 months and wasn't reimbursed because I didn't notify them of the problem fast enough. That was just the tip of the iceberg, really. Long story short, bad bank, rude employees, don't do it. I will admit, I banked here a lot longer than I should have. I was only living in the town for about 2 years and had automatic withdrawal for a few different accounts and was too busy to look into another bank. That was my fault.

After being a costumer of this bank for several years and paying THEM a monthly service fee so they…read morecan use my money to lend to others to make more money for THEM, they charged me $60 for a single insufficient fund. This was the first time I was ever insufficient, and I live a few hours away from my nearest branch, so the day I reachieved notice I literally immediately mailed a check to them. But this meant nothing to them, and as most recent graduates know, $60 for nothing can mean a lot. Needless to say I'm closing my account with them TODAY!... something I should have done a long time ago. Carbondale has many banking institutions and i advise everyone, especially students, to BANK ELSEWHERE!

The bank updated its banking app, and now it is the worst thing ever…read more First Southern Bank was a 5-star bank in my opinion; then The Bank of Marion and The Bank of Carbondale merged with them, and they have become the worst bank in southern Illinois. The "New Improved" app will remove pending purchases for no reason and then slam them back in, leaving you overdrawn so they can charge you an overdraft fee per day till you pay them back. When you overdraw, the app doesn't even alert you, unlike the old one did. It now also takes 24 hours for a deposit to register in the app; it used to be seconds. No, in my opinion, the new First Southern is in the business of screwing over its customers to increase profits.

I still have another credit union for over 20 years, and it's NOT this one. just because you have SIU as your name doesn't mean squat. Look at the other reviews who give low ratings. One example is receiving funds from an external source & posting "pending"... which is B.S. they even do that with Social Security direct deposits. Many other C.U.'s will offer " Early paycheck".. SIU does not. The ATM is the only thing I use. I use nothing else. I am still shopping for a better option, and better options are not available in the town of mayberry.
