Re: Credit Unions Memberships with SP

I was Hp'd in March '19 for PenFed.

Though now that I think about it, I also applied for a cc. Only 1 hp, but it could have been for the cc app.

Re: Credit Unions Memberships with SP

A CC app is a HP basically everywhere with almost every lender but absolutely with every CU to my knowledge.

Many CU’a have finally started to code as soft, thankfully: DCU changed and I believe Penfed did too though as some are reporting.

That all said, inquiries don’t count for much and so I wouldn’t try to avoid them if it is for a quality CU that I would make use of... there are plenty of CU’s that don’t fit that definition unfortunately.

DCU has CO-OP branches thats why I joined them it was SP membership. Penfed is reputable CU but I read other threads they HP twice for membership and CC.

Penfed membership came with an HP for my wife about two months ago.

Interesting.

 

My only DP's are that our reports were frozen during application, and I did have to fax (to the best of my memory) DD214, copy of driver's license, and *maybe* a utility bill for address verification.

 

No CC app.

 

However, I have noticed that almost 7 months later, I still cannot add an external account. So my account just sits there with a $5 share. I basically just joined in case any of their CC's struck my fancy in the future.

A DD214 for Penfed? Really?

Yeah, they gave me a long list of acceptable verification docs. I just chose what I had easily available at the time.

Re: Credit Unions Memberships with SP

I suspect the fact your reports were frozen was why you had to jump through the additional verification steps.
