Eastman Credit Union

[Anonymous]

So I've read a few thousand posts on here, and hundreds about CUs, but I've never seen any mention of ECU. It's a small credit union, and you have to live/work in my area to gain membership, or work for Eastman Chemical.  Does anybody have any info as to who they pull, HPs, SPs, etc?  Credit pulls doesn't show any matches at all.  I'm thinking about starting a banking relationship with them, and a possible loan(s).

I do not have the info you are looking for but in the past I and others have had good luck just asking a small C/U who they pull. My sister works for a smaller C/U in Minneapolis/St Paul and I asked her a few things about their CC and she had some basic standards available to me like; They (the one she works for, not ECU) pull EQ - 675 min fico for best rate - They content of the file is important also though, 675 was not a blanket approval, obviously.

Eastman pulls EX almost exclusively and they will tell you that. Super nice CU.

Oh and it's always a HP for their loan products, not sure about banking though! Good luck!

Thanks.  I called and confirmed what you guys said, and she also told me no HP for membership.

@StruggleIsReal, have you personally done business with them?  Do you live in the area?

I do live in the area but they are not my CU. It was between them and Appalachian and I decided to go with ACFCU. They are both really good CU'S and I have spoke with Eastman many times but ultimately went with the other!

I was just looking at ACFCU earlier in the day. I figured no one at all had heard of it! There's a branch a mile from my office. Are they HP for everything?

My experience with ACFCU has been amazing. It was one HP for membership and a loan. Not sure if membership was SP only as I completed both on the same day but I only had one HP at the end of the day!
