Rebecca Reyes is AMAZING!
What should have been a very simple transaction at an ATM machine turned into a huge fiasco!
I deposited a check in a large amount into my UncleCU checking account via a co-op ATM in NV. After several minutes of the ATM screen showing transaction in process the check popped back out of the machine. Because my car decided to have mechanical issues, this became my priority versus the check popping out so I didn't go inside of the Greater NV CU to inquire why this happened.
Now it's the next day - my on-line bank statement shows the check did indeed deposit, only to be retracted, thus, resulting in a zero checking balance and a $5 transfer fee from my savings in order to cover an outstanding check that my supposedly deposited check was going to cover.
After talking with customer service reps at both UncleCU in CA and Greater NV CU, my problem was neither resolved, nor was there a hint of interest. In fact, Tony, at Uncle in Livermore did put me on hold to go ask for advice; he came back on the line suggesting that I go to another CU in NV and make the deposit because the ATM machine much have malfunctioned. Evidently, he wasn't listening when I told him this happened yesterday, also, I had drawn money out of the same ATM minutes prior to making the deposit so it wasn't malfunctioning, and besides all that, I'm currently without a car which I had mentioned several times. Plus, both reps said it was the other institution's responsibility. One might say, the buck was being passed!
In trying, thru google, to locate Uncle's Tracy, CA phone number, I noticed "yelp" for UncleCU. I "just happened" to spot several rave reviews about "Rebecca Reyes." I contacted her and to my surprise she immediately picked up the phone - no answering machine or out-of-the office, or on vacation, yada yada.
Rebecca was sweet, compassionate and understanding, and she truly listened! She actually stayed on the phone with me and guided me on how to install my Uncle app, and directed me on how to make at least a partial deposit via my phone in order to get some now much need funds into my account.
Since Uncle only accepts a max amount thru the app system, Rebecca is going to see if she can get the remainder of my failed deposit from yesterday, expedited. She also "kept in mind" that I had car issues and said, I imagine you'll need some money fast to cover car expenses. This just goes to show her thoughtful heart. She was right-on as my car was towed to an auto mechanic and the dx is still pending. She also guided me with transfers from one institution to another via my on-line Uncle account. She said she is going to call me back later today with an update on any success she may have had for an expedited deposit and I believe she will do what she said.
It's truly refreshing, these days, to have someone representing the company they work for - actually, the public - not only be helpful, and kind, but also the unexpected service of going above and beyond the call of duty for the customer. i.e., staying on the phone, "patiently," walking me thru the process of my app install and! Never once, did she make me feel like I was annoying her or that she needed to hang-up! She was totally with me all the way!
Rebecca is a remarkable employee! I just wanted UncleCU to know how our encounter affected me.
Thank you, Rebecca! read more
