We are leaving Desert Financial Credit…
We are leaving Desert Financial Credit Union. DFCU has been with holding transactions going through my account for up to eleven day to charge over draft fees. I accidentally over pay a bill so it was going to leave us a little shorter than normal so we notified the bank and they could not help us stop the payment. We knew it would be tight but the bills are paid. I paid a bill for around $160 on 9/18/2025 and it showed it was pending on our account that day so I thought it had been paid. Every other previous month the payment took only 3 days to go through my account. This month it took 11 days and it didn’t go through our account until 9/30/2025. We also had a Walmart order on September 20th, showed up in our pending transaction immediately but then disappeared and didn’t go through our account until the 27th. My wife just called yesterday and they reversed 4 overdraft fees since the accidental payment caused us to be overdrawn $6, which created 4 overdraft fees. We got positive in our account and couldn’t even get gas before you put that $160 charge through now causing us to be overdrawn again. This seems very intentional. The way you are withholding transactions is now going to cost my family hundreds of dollars. if I could leave less stars I would. We’ve had accounts with several “big” banks like B of A and US bank and though the fees were higher they didn’t utilize these kind of tactics just to make a few dollars for a billion dollar bank that pretends to be a credit union.
