It took so long to get my login that I was not able to make my first payment on time. The website is horrible and external bank transfers are very difficult. I paid the loan off and 12 months later it started withdrawing from my account into a loan that had been closed due to being paid off for a year. This bank is a scam.Review from Shane R

I don't think I've ever had such a terrible experience with a small credit union before. And I cannot recommend, under any circumstance that anyone ever take out an Auto loan. They simply refuse to give you the title to the vehicle after it's paid off and sold. It has been four months since I sold a vehicle, and had it paid off, and they still have not turned over the title. I'm someone who never leaves negative reviews, just not leave any, but these folks are morons. And no one should do business with them.Review from Caryn A

I cannot believe the level of difficulty everything has been since my auto loan was sent here. 1. It took over a month to get my required PIN to login to OLB and set up a payment. My loan was due within a few days of finally getting in. The information I received over the phone about easily connecting my FI for payment was false and it took another week to make a payment. 2. The *** process through OLB takes 4 business days to post which is double industry standard. Also had a difficult time finding how to cancel the *** later on and couldnt do it in the app, had to use a computer even though setup was through the app. 3. I decided to refinance for a lower rate. Tried to get a payoff statement. It was sent secure but the code needed expired within 30 minutes and took 45 to get. Finally got one faxed to me instead. Account number was truncated which is no help when mailing a payoff. 4. Called to put an authorization on my account for the new FI to collect the payoff and account number. After getting through their horrible call system, took 15 minutes to get through their insanely tedious verification and confirmed the authorization was good and was told yes. Big Surpise, they still would not confirm the information for the new FI and also will not do a conference call for me to authorize on the spot. And today their website and phone system are down so I cant get anything done. Nothing I have been told by them has been true. Nothing I have done is easy or convenient. I cannot wait to be finished with them and will never go back.Review from Jessie S

Theres a reason why this institution is ranked so low. RUN! Run far and fast away and use literally any other institution. Not only do they hold your $ hostage with the only option to access it to pay them money to wire it but their reps and supervisors are rude, disrespectful and entirely useless.America First Credit Union Response

If I could give zero stars, I would. Definitely not a safe or secure place to have a credit card. I was notified by the **************** of a charge I did not make. I texted (NO) and called them as well to tell them I did not make it, and I was told it would not post; but it posted, and now I'm being told that if it isn't removed before my credit card due date, I will be charged interest on it if not paid in full. Being that the charge is $1,400, it seems ridiculous, especially for a charge I did not make. I'm starting to question the security of this credit union and don't feel safe having my money in any account they manage. **************** and security have gone way downhill. Time to find a new bank.America First Credit Union Response

I bought my toy hauler and got a loan thru America credit union. Did all the paperwork required and got my trailer registered. Made all the payments early and over paid by $270 per month to get it paid off quicker.Sold the trailer and to my surprise American made me jump thru hoops to get my trailer tile in my name, which I did 1st time. Someone in there office never filed , but somehow I was getting my tags in my name? When I asked for help the staff blamed me and required the paperwork to be done again. So I did, had to call the person I bought from over a year and half ago, and we did it again.Did not get help, now on a third time, another credit union sent paid off amount in a cashiers check and set up a new loan for my buyer, and it has been a month and America credit union is holding check and not closing my account which is affecting my credit now. I will be contacting my attorney to handle as I feel they just dont care and staff is not qualified to do paperwork.America First Credit Union Response

Their website will not let you cancel reoccurring external transfers with filtering them. I was charged 1500$ in 2 weeks because they would not cancel my external transfersAmerica First Credit Union Response

All the reviews here are correct. I am another statistic of their poor and mediocre customer service, I am thinking about contacting a lawyer to see what my legal recourse is in them not accepting a $22K+ payment so I can pay off my vehicle and get the title. I will never again do business with them. After reading all the reviews here I am not sure how they stay in business...??!!America First Credit Union Response

I have an auto loan with America First Credit Union & was several months ahead of my current payment due date. I confirmed the payoff amount, gave it to the dealership. The dealership sent the payoff check to AFCU. I received a letter from AFCU that my payoff check was returned to the dealership because it wasn't enough to cover what they think is now the new balance due to added interest..etc. The negative payoff difference was very small under 100. so I can't figure out why AFCU didn't try to contact me to give me the opportunity to payoff the difference to complete this transaction. I'm not a happy customer as they are wasting time by not accepting a check that was over 99% of the payoff amount which now will give them leverage to try to collect more interest if the dealership cant cut another quick check to them.America First Credit Union Response
