What do you like about this bank / credit union?: Nothing anymore.
What could be improved about this bank / credit union?: Customer service is horrible. Like everyone else hear has said, they need more staff and better training for their staff. I had to wait THREE weeks to get an appointment for an estate account. Contact other banks and credit jnions as part of that same estate and had appointments in 1-3 days.
General comments: As soon as all my investment terms end - I’m pulling everything out. As soon as probate is granted on the estate I’m working on - I’m pulling that out to and moving to an estate account set up at another financial institute.

Why do you bank with them?: High interest acct
What do you like about this bank / credit union?: NOTHING
What could be improved about this bank / credit union?: 0
General comments: I opened High interest acct (Online only acct) about 6-7 years ago. I could not access my acct anymore. I called and they said acct was closed due to inactivity. Charged me $20 dormant fee. Apparently they sent a letter advising my account was inactive, but I never received this (my addr is good, AND I have kept every piece of paper they've ever sent me). BUT they don't send an email Warning. Just a letter via Canada post mail. Remember this is Online only High interest acct. EVERYTHING is done online: transfers, withdraw, invest.... But SCU does not bother sending email to warn clients about this. Yet SCU sends regular Marketing emails (mortgage, contest, new banking...) but Nothing when it comes to Warning clients? So SCU cares more about you buying products and making $$ from their clients, rather than sending an important notice. Also, this is an Online High interest acct - the point is to put $$ in this account so it earns high-interest. Like putting $$ in a 3-yr or 5-yr GIC. So why must there be "regular" activity? Its not a chequing acct. Anyhow, Extremely disappointed with Steinbach. All interest earned over they years were "wiped out" by their fee (for which I never received a warning), A total BS credit union....

General comments: This credit union used to be about the members, but now I feel it's about the numbers. They have gotten so big that they lost sight of the Customer Service factor.

How long have you banked with them?: I've had accounts with SCU for almost 1 year. I can't wait to move away from them as soon as my GIC matures
Why do you bank with them?: They seemed to have good rates and acceptable customer service when I signed up as a new customer. I've had nothing but problems ever since.
What do you like about this bank / credit union?: Nothing now. They just don't answer their phone or return emails.
What could be improved about this bank / credit union?: I have tried to reach someone in their Customer Service Dept for more that 10 days. I've called about 15 times, I've been on 'hold' for over 2 hours (combined). NO ONE EVER ANSWERS THE PHONE. Unfortunately they have lost our business as a result of this. We even tried to contact them using their 'contact form' on their website. No one ever replied. Sorry SCU you need to update your customer service contact center or you will continue to lose more customers.
General comments: SCU needs to up date their phone system. We held on the phone for assistance day after day after day. Their phone message says 'someone will be with you in a moment' - yet the calls are never answered. (1) They should indicate what the 'wait time' will be. (2) They should indicate where you are in their phone queue - OR- (3) they should let you leave your name and number to have your call returned when someone is free.
