GBLocked out of my own account. Long story short, the fraud department is ridiculous and does not understand large wire transfers. I was attempting to purchase a rare car out of state, got it fully inspected and was satisfied with the results and submitted the transfer for a wire purchase for about $20k. The fraud department called me, which is fine of course, and I walked them through the transaction, and we hung up, I assumed everything was good. About 15 minutes later, they called back and refused the transaction, calling it fraud despite just talking to me. Fine, I'll figure out transferring cash to another bank account and do it that way. Lo and behold, RBFCU locked me out of my own accounts as well, including any electronic payments. I call them back, and they refuse to give an explanation other than "Your access will be returned once our investigation is complete which takes about 10 business days." Utterly ridiculous. I ended up having to physically go to the bank, and pull money out to put in another bank account just to pay my normal bills. Needless to say, they have permanently lost my business.

GBThis is the worst bank ever This is the worst bank ever it used to be an excellent bank now it is just trash. I have been trying to transfer some money out of my account and it always goes back to the fraud department even though my account has been open for many years and I've never had one problem with this stupid bank. I am absolutely disappointed. Disgusted and I regret being a customer of RBFCU. Don't you ever open an account here it is a financial trap.
Long standing customer
GBHorrible credit card service I am a long-standing customer both having my mortgage and auto loan earlier this year. My credit card was transferred to world card. There was a technical issue and my auto pay did not go through. I called multiple times and in frustration ended up paying off my card. Two months later I received an additional bill and when I asked for a review, they refused to work with me and had me pay $68 more after I had already been told what my payoff was two months previously. I don’t recommend their new credit card services credit card services at all.

GBDisappointment My name is Silvino Pires, I’ve been a member of RBFCU for more than 10 years, and I currently have 4 accounts at this bank. I USUALLY keep a MINIMUM balance of $10k among my accounts. I also have a master credit card from this bank and a personal line of credit. I also move over $330k a year thru my business. Well, I want to say that my rates with either the credit card and credit line are the worst possible going from 11% and up. I’ve tried loans with RBFCU and have been declined a few times. When I was approved, the rate was a rip off. Some of these loans have been approved by other institutions such as Capital One, Ally, GM Financial, and Credit Human for a much lower rate than my own bank. A couple of times RBFCU have put me in very inconvenient and embarrassing situations. This time was the worst: a former partner, which I had a joint account in this bank in the past, made a transfer of $7k to my account (same bank transfer) on Saturday April 20th, and the RBFCU put a hold on the money for a few days. On April 22nd I realized they also froze all my accounts and cards that I and my employees use to run my business. I had to stop all operations because my employees had no way to run without the money. I went to the branch and I also called the fraud department unsuccessfully because there was nothing they could do about it. They told me that my friend who made the transfer had to call in and release the deposit he made. This took him another extra couple of hours on hold (terrible and inefficient fraude department service). Most of my business day was compromised. Finally after my ex-partner talked to them they released my accounts but guess what? They pulled the money ($7000) back to my friends account. This morning I called my friend, and told him I didn’t get the money. He transferred the money again to my account, and the bank put another hold on my money. For me, This seems like a joke. They must be playing a game with me. I find it extremely ridiculous to put a hold on a legit transaction between two members in the same bank, and freezing all my account and cards is way out of boundaries. There’s no reasonable explanation for a bank to do that. It’s irresponsible, offensive, insulting, financially harmful, and injurious. I have called the bank fraud department today, and requested that the person in charge calls me and give me an explanation of how The bank is protecting me freezing all my accounts. Explain to me what freezing all my accounts and cards, have to do with a “suspicious“ deposit. I’ll definitely post here their reasonable response if It’s a reasonable one.

GBNO ASSISTANCE IF EXPERIENCING HARDSHIP I have an auto loan with RBFCU. I had fallen chronically ill that lasted about a year. During this time I was able to keep up with my payments for sometime, but eventually fell behind 6 months. During the 6 months I would call every month to get some kind of assistance. Short and simple they advised under no circumstances do they offer payment deferments, reduced payment amounts, nothing. If you’re someone who could ever end up in a similar situation, I strongly advise to not do business with RBFCU as far as auto loans. Currently they’re attempting to repo my vehicle and have advised I need to pay a lump sum of all the past due amount or they would not except any type of payments. Thanks for reading.
