Use another bank!
They're more of a headache than the national banks. Save your time. Abysmal customer service and the rules don't make any sense. Everytime I've had an issue, it cannot be resolved due to their system that wouldn't be an issue anywhere else. So what was the last straw? I got laid off and forgot to cancel a reoccurring subscription. Their rules are that if the account stays negative for 45 days, they "charge off" the account (read deactivate it.) No biggie, I thought, as my next job started quickly and I'd be paid before then. Fast forward to Thanksgiving when I should've had my paycheck (minus the overdraft) and nothing is in my account. I also started getting automated messages stating my account was about to be gone for the reasons previously stated. No one is there on Thanksgiving, so I just have to wait for the next day. Black Friday comes and the paycheck (ACH) is shown is shown but isn't factored into my account. Rage ensues. I call customer service and am told that they are rejecting it because my account is suspended. You mean to tell me that funds being sent directly to the account cannot pay off what is owed? Nope. But we'll send it back to my company the same day so I can try to send it to my savings account that for whatever reason, is still active. Frustrating but still manageable, I suppose, but leaves me without desperately needed funds. Fast forward to Monday and the deposit hasn't been kicked back. This time, customer service says it'll take 2-5 business days starting that same day. And of course my company cannot write a check until they've received the funds back. RBFCU isn't the friendly, local credit union you'd expect. I'm warning everyone I know in real life and online to strongly reconsider using another bank.
