1 starIm so dissatisfied with Becu. I had a serious stroke in January which they were aware of I always kept in contact, because as of recent my insurance lapse, I cant pass a physical until numbness is gone so I can drive semi trucks again and my business is suffering and I have all the proof they still put out a repossession on my vehicle I pleaded and begged them to help me I have had serious health issues and absolutely not they said. I feel like this is a discrimination from new disability from the stroke they dont care and she thought this was not a big deal. Im a marine corps veteran and own a business and drive long haul semi trucks I am just trying to get healed and Becu has been horrible with trying to help me out with my medical issues. Im so dissatisfiedB E C U

1 starAn absolutely terrible financial institution. I used to bank there for many years, but moved out of their service area and thus requested my accounts be closed. Their response: complete an account closure request, mail/fax/or in-person ************ request to them, and then they will close my accounts.Are you kidding me? When a customer requests that you close their accounts, you close the accounts - period. You do no require extra work of the customer.Go elsewhere to bank. As many other former customers have reviewed, BECU has gone steadily downhill with respect to customer service. You can do a lot better elsewhere.B E C U

Hi ****. We are sorry that you are unhappy with our closure process. We must comply with compliance and regulatory guidelines for certain account transactions. Closing an account is one of them. BECU offers a variety of ways to access your accounts, withdraw money and talk with BECU even if you move out of ****************. You can find out more about how BECU allows you to bank anywhere online at: *******************************************************************Review fromSeth V

1 starBecu is a trash company and a trash bank. They are literally so behind the times it blows my mind. If you have the option to bank somewhere else I highly recomend it.B E C U

1 starThe BECU from 5 years ago is NOT the BECU of today. This is a horrible banking institution with atrocious customer service! I used to recommend this bank to everyone... now I'm researching what bank I'm going to take my business to! I recently had a phone call with one of their customer service reps...it was hands down the worst experience I've ever had with a financial institution! Not only was the employee not helpful, she was downright rude and basically hung up on me. I have a credit score of 800+ and take my financial dealings seriously... clearly this bank does not! If they want to make things right THEY CAN CALL ME FOR A CHANGE! I'm sick of being bounced around from department to department with zero resolution. Worst bank ever!B E C U

1 starI went to a ************ station and was charged $175 for $14 worth of gas. I disputed the fraudulent charge with BECU but they did not refund the money. In this time with so much credit card fraud going on, I need a bank that will look out for me! BECU will not!B E C U

1 starI first called BECU mortgage department 4/26 regarding my deceased loved ones mortgage account. After being offered no condolences and asked what right we had to information, I explained we are the successor trustees for the trust which is the legal owner of mortgaged property. I was told to send in a full copy of the trust, photo ID, and death certificate and I would be mailed documents to sign. The full copy of the trust should not be legally needed but I faxed requested documents 4/27. They had no alternative to email an electronic copy and we live ************************************************************************ We had also established a trust account with ********************** banking office and provided a copy of the death certificate to them but was told the BECU mortgage department was a different entity and could not verify information from banking side. After verifying documents were received, I was told they would review and I would be contacted if anything further was needed. I received no call or mail so called 5/15 and was told they were still reviewing and someone would get back to me. I received no call again so called on 5/22 and was told they mailed a letter requesting additional documents on 5/2. The previous rep did not mention this and no mail was received. I was told an additional letter was mailed 5/22 requesting proof of relationship or court filing. Neither of those are legally required in this situation. The deed for the property shows the trust is the legal property owner and is easily verifiable through the Snohomish County Property Information site. I requested speak to legal department and was told someone would call by Wednesday. I am still awaiting that call. I feel BECU is either incompetent in interpreting trust documentation, acting in a punitive nature and unwilling to grant ******* or acting in a discriminatory manner by withholding information we are legally entitled to in order to fufill our fiduciary duties as successor trustees.Review fromskyward n

1 starI will say, that having been a BECU customer for nearly a decade (as well as having many business accounts with them), they have taken a turn that is not enjoyable as a customer. While they strive to be the local credit union, they have turned into the **** of America of credit unions. As an example, here is my most recent situation. I got an email in the middle of the night to their updated Terms and Conditions, stating that arbitration is the new way forward for customers with financial disputes with the organization. I called BECU customer service to see how this would affect my business. The person on the phone said "I am not sure what you are speaking about, let me speak with my manager". I waited on hold and was told they don't have answers, but that I could schedule an appointment at the bank. I asked them if there is someone in corporate that I could speak with. The individual on the phone said there is no phone number for corporate (odd when organizations won't let you contact them). So, I scheduled an appointment with the notes, and had to wait a week to be seen. I showed up, waited 45 minutes and the branch manager stated that he didn't know how to help but would have someone reach out to me. I sent an email stating that I had never heard back. No response. I sent another email this morning (after another week of waiting) and finally got a call back from another staff member. I asked if the legal team would speak with my lawyer for clarity, and he said no. He stated that the updated terms mean that all forward disputes would go through a mediator, not the courts. I asked who chooses the mediator and he said "BECU". When I asked him if that felt like a conflict of interest, he asked if there was anything else he could do for me before he hung up. So freaking unprofessional after waiting 2 weeks. Sad, but after seeing a 1 star rating on the BBB, it appears that it is not me alone feeling this.Review fromLuther C
