Have not been staffed in 18 months. Come on !!! This is essentially an internet bank without the 0.50% interest on your savings. Cash machines have always only handed out 20 or 100's. Try to pay for a bus ride with a $20 With no staff and near zero interest they should really be profitable Moved most of my Monet to ALLY BANK. Bill payer program is good but chase also has that and staff to give you coins and 1's and 5's etc

I kept getting emails promoting RV loans. RV's that gobble fossil fuels and have horrific MPG ratings. Well I had to acknowledge that I belonged to a credit union devoted to the airline industry. (Not anymore!) The people that have been polluting the atmosphere for decades. Catering to the self serving recreational wants of those who refuse to alter their selfish lifestyles for the common good. Was it 80%(?) ;  recent data stated as unnecessary air travel?  In all honesty BECU wasn't very thorough and a bit archaic with regards to in person everything requirements. I once received a correspondence that contained  the wrong year. It's very similar to the equity greed phenomenon and skyrocketing housing prices. Didn't happen without thousands of people choosing to participate in it.

In an effort to simply do a friend who is a BECU member a favor, I went in to this branch to deposit a business check written out to them. After checking-in and waiting for all of 20 seconds, I was greeted by an employee. After letting them know my only business there was to deposit the check into my friend's account, they informed me that isn't possible but that they could mail it to another facility and they could take care of it. Okay, that makes little sense technically and pragmatically to both do that and tell me about it... just take care of the deposit, no one cares how it happens really. Assuming I don't really need to do much else at this point, I follow them to a little counter near the entrance/exit and we pause for a moment as the employee fills out what I assumed was a deposit slip. "Is this their account number?" they ask me, pointing to the bottom of the check. Shocked and a little confused, I let them know that, no, that's the account number of the check writer, the business. How does this employee not know this fact about checks? "Do you have their account number?" they then ask. No, and why would I need that, I think to myself, you've got it under her name. "We can't access anyone's account info unless they're here in person." I'm sorry what? I'm simply trying to deposit a business check into their account. Does BECU even want their member's money? I took the check and left... what just happened? Are all credit unions like this? You used to be able to walk into a bank and deposit a check written out to one of that bank's customers/members. Why in the world would that ever be an issue?
