It would be nice if SCCU got more updates ATM's for their members. The ATM are old and are often broken when I got to a branch to use one. This takes the convenience out of using an ATM. Also, I wish their was a way that you could allow people with restrcted accts to make deposits via the ATM. Maybe make it so that the funds do not become available until the deposit is verifed, but still allow those of us with this type of acct to still make the deposit through an ATM. I find the ATM services a little resrtictive to members.

Once, I over withdrew my account in the amount of 39 cents. Of course, I automatically incurred a hefty fee. When I brought this up to one of SCCU's associates, she quickly opted to remove the fee because the overdrawn amount was so little. That really made a difference and it was clear she was very customer service oriented.

Please put a branch in Seminole County! We moved to the Lake Mary area and need to drive to Deltona to do any "in person" banking. Just put one on the other side of the St. John's for those of us who don't want to switch from SCCU! As for the personnel, they are always wonderful! Whether it be on the phone or in person the customer service is excellent. When my husband goes into the Deltona branch and the teller is working, he always greets my husband with a boisterous greeting by name. I know its an easy name to remember when it is your own, but its a nice touch.

I am very happy with the service at SCCU. The tellers are always friendly and helpful at every location I go. If a friend of mine complains about their bank I always recommend that they switch to SCCU! Thanks for doing a great job!

I have never encountered such personal attention and service. As a new customer, the people at SCCU have been attentive, helpful and genuinely kind. This was all in addition to the real reason we switched to SCCU - great rates!

My money in the bank is mine whether it is savings or checkings. I feel that if I overdrawn money in my Checkings that there should be no fees for transfering money from savings to checkings. If I had no money in my savings and overdrawn in checkings, then a fee should be provided. I've been a customer for over 20 yrs. and I have been happy with the service, just no the fees.

While it is understandable that someone like me with a poor credit rating would need a special account to re-start their credit. I do not understand why I should be charged should I decide to leave the bank before 6 months. What happens if I should move out of the service area for this particular financial institution? It is as if I am punished for leaving because either the products or services are not up to my standards or if I should need a different type of banking resource.
