Police Credit Union bank accounts

Do like I feel I can trust them, there are minimal to no frees and the customer service is always very helpful

The family has been with this bank for decades. Recently however obviously to recoup economic losses, it changed its fee structure and 'penalty' fees without warning. This is a frustration but if you are good with finances, manageable. BUT the last straw for me was removing public access ATMS from customer convenience in the second largest city in South Australia. Consequently, if a mall or supermarket isnt open, especially when the union is closed, you will be paying over $3 each time to access your money from a nonaffiliated ATM. If you want after-hours cash you have to do it by eftpos or use the pay wave feature. Thats right. There are no credit union reditellers for police credit union customers in Mount Gambier if you need money in an emergency after hours or without punishing withdrawl fees from the 2 only available ATMS in the city located at inconvenient non credit union affiliated places. ON TOP OF THIS their apps are always crashing and failing so if there is an after-hours emergency if you dont have funds with another bank, you won't be able to access your money. At all. (Except if you go to one of the 2 available non affiliated ATMS available) Also if you have banked up a few online purchases or paywaves, the system clogs itself, freezes your cash flow until it unclogs, and that can take days to sort itself out, so if you like online shopping, ebay or using paywave for everything, this credit union is definately not for you. Lastly, this credit union has been having a few - too many lately - dramas with their overnight processing system. Often you can tell they did maintenance on their servers etc because your account comes back scrambled, reset to old structure, the passwords are wiped and you need to go into the branch AGAIN every time to have the staff fix it all back to how it was, and reset your passwords and pins. The staff is friendly and helpful in Mount Gambier, but everything else about convenience and user friendliness with the actual services it provides is quite frankly, beyond disappointing, but disgusting. I would class this credit union as an investment credit union and not a transaction credit union. So if you want everyday banking and trust in a reliable electronic presence, you need to go elsewhere.

Withdrawal fees are ridiculous.

Great app for banking and checking out products. Always feel secure banking with Police Credit Union. Easy to sort things over the phone. Competitive rates and fees. Professional friendly staff that don’t keep you waiting in line. Other services within the branch always easy to access e.g. insurance, conveyancing.
