Convenience. Have gotten a number of big loans through Altra federal credit Union in Tyler and Bank there. Everything has always went smooth and never had to even go in the door. Now thats convenience.

Helpful staff! I do most of my banking online. There have been several times when I needed help from one of the staff to complete a more complex banking issue. In each of those cases, I've found whoever I've dealt with to be very competent and very helpful to achieve my goal. That personal touch contrasts with the impersonal hands-off approach from national banks

It really bothers me that pay apps are nearly impossible to use with Altra. It really bothers me that there is a daily limit on transactions using a debit. Also, the fraud department can barely speak English even though it's India's primary language. Yep, they offshore their fraud group. This is scary as a lot of scams come from Indian call centers. Yet they are the ones keeping the fraudsters away? Good luck trying to use a pay app with your account. I can't get a simple Venmo to go thru even after talking to member services and the fraud group multiple times. Their service has a lot to be desired these days. As soon as possible, I'm moving to a different CU after 20+ years as this has gotten out of control. I had to scrap Google Pay as Altra kept flagging the transaction when I tried using it and bounced me back and forth between departments. Now it's the same with trying to use Venmo. Save yourself the headache and hours of wasted time and look for a different CU or bank to manage your funds. You'll be thankful!

Upon entering Altra FCU in clarksville… Upon entering Altra FCU in clarksville I was greeted by all the personnel. I opened an account for myself and 2 education accounts for my grandchildren. The ease and simplicity of doing so in the office made me feel confident about choosing Altra for local banking. Later that year I up graded one child's account and opened a savings and checking for my grandson who needed a bank in town. Altra has been most helpful and provide the tools I need to get my banking needs done. Thanks to the staff at Clarksville branch.

Altra is a customer friendly place… When going to the credit Union, and feeling my usual little anxieties at such times, or calling in for an agent (which I don’t want to do), I feel relieved by the warm and friendly way they try to fulfill the request even it’s something out of their range. I’ve been with Altra since about 2009. It’s a specially good place for banking.
