Difficulty discharging loan for over a month as the lender stalls and charges the interest that I should no longer be payIng. Not sure how long this will ever take or how this can occur. This is not really acceptable in a cost of living crisis. Been a loyal customer since mid 90’s with present lender on different products i finally realise i am paying way too much here and provider seems happy to keep it that way. Now I seem not to be able to change providers and get a better deal. Help! I am Questioning what “community “ based “banking” actually means So hard to get any action, answers or resolutions. I do not know this organisation anymore. In all fairness They were very good once with wonderful counter staff especially, but that time has passed. Ive referred matter to regulators.
Worst ever bank I have ever dealt with. To much to go through but just be aware people that what they tell you is not always true and is defiantly misleading. The Morgage Broker I have gone through is outstanding however i will be going back to them to refinance away from Southern Cross Emoney is terrific to deal with and I am sure that they can get me what I need and that wont be staying with Southern Cross credit union
I had a sizeable home loan (over $500k) with Southern Cross Credit Union. When I queried why they were not matching market rates and passing on the full rate reductions, I was told to shop around and get something in writing from another provider to then provide to them and they would consider it! I did and moved on. Don't go there.
They encouraged me to swap from Westpac because their rates were "so much better". They have passed on less than 35 percent of the reserve bank interest cuts and I had to beg for those. Don' t make the same mistake.
When we first moved to SCCU, I negotiated a very good rate and they promised us good rates and that they would look after us. Since then SCCU has absorbed for themselves well over 50 percent of the reserve bank interest rate reductions instead of passing them on to us. They don't seem to have any system whereby the rates are passed directly on to the customer. You have go call the BBC bank a week after the reserve bank cut to ask why your rate hasnt dropped. On one recent Reserve bank cut they passed on 0 percent of the cut to me. I would not recommend SCCU.
The management and staff are very helpful and understanding. They all seem to go the extra yard to make sure we can continue business with them. I highly recommend them.
For me this product is perfect. The service at teh credit union is very friendly and personal so you can speak directly to the bank manager (an actual person) whenever you need to and they are very informed and competitive.
very good service friendly people very helpful in all things i have nothing bad to say about them
