Why all of you may want to reconsider this Credit Union: A check deposit was made into a checking account. That check was from an account that had been used for deposits for a least once a month ever since the account was opened and was usually posted to the account within 3 or 4 days. This time they decided to put a seven business day hold on the check. Why? What was so different this time from any other time? The check was under $5k and there had been other check that were higher than this one from that account. But here's the thing that raises eyebrows. Right before the deposit was made, 2 or 3 overdrafts were made at a cost of $35 each. With the money that was added automatically with the deposit there was enough to cover the fees and have a few dollar in the account to cover some automatic bill pays and living expenses until the deposit should of been post. That didn't happen! Now I have $.07 in my account and an -$10 monthly auto bill pay waiting to be posted to my account. W

Catrice is such a nice and friendly and caring person, she is great as well as the rest of the staff. I love BrightStar Credit Union better than any bank I ever used. I tell all my friends to join. I am teaching my son to save and the Cosmo Kids Club really gets him interested. He loves those little Cosmo stickers! And most people don't seem to know this credit union is community based--meaning anyone who lives in Broward or Palm Beach can join.
