Penfed

Ok guys not impressed so far let me tell u about the journey ok joined May 16th it clearly stated on website u can fund account with credit or debit card credit of course i want the rewards. Ok enter my credit card information twice thats all u get is 2 times it wouldn't take it i'm like WTH i have plenty of available credit. Ok i contact memeber services i didn't want to chance it so i used debit card over the phone this is where the Rep dropped the ball again didn't find this out though until June 9 he left off my apartment number so come to find out the Post Office sent the Card Back funny thing is i got 3 other pieces of mail from Pended. Ok so Friday June 9 when we got my apartment number added to my address i said lets bypass the PO all together just Fedex overnight i will pay the 15 bucks. Sure card will go out Monday u will get Tuesday i didn't feel today confident in that so i just got off phone with another Rep she said she don't see nothing of that conversation  ok i said i would still like Fedex overnight she comes back telling me postal service express is faster than Fedex overnight  i said when will it arrive u should have it by monday of nextweek how is that faster than over night? There reps could use some training

Re: Penfed

Honestly, I have never been overly impressed with Penfed. I have a high limit Promise, I keep 2k in the checking and $500 in the savings with them. My DW has a Promise and a Power Cash Rewards both her limits are 25k. 

 

Everytime I have called its never been outstanding service. NFCU is nothing but outstanding IMHO.

Re: Penfed

I question why I even bothered to join Penfed. The customer service is dry and lacking. At NFCU they are pleasant and willing to research even at 3am in the morning.

NFCU is far superior, but I am sorry to hear you had a bad experience with PenFed.

Re: Penfed

I've never had a problem with PenFed but I will echo others' sentiments that NFCU is just better. PenFed used to be better, but lately I am not as impressed. The one thing I do like about PenFed though are my quarterly pre-approvals that do not require a HP to be approved for. Otherwise, Navy all the way.

Re: Penfed

Penfed service is dry and the reps could less about if you don't bank 100K and make 200K a year. I have fund there and they will charge me 10 service charge if the checking drops below 500. 😑

I agree 100% with both aspects of your comment, donny. Excellent assessment.

They are still a good credit union, you should be happy with them.
