Fraud - Lack of accountability and assistance Some impersonated Altra Federal Credit Union, called me from Altra's number, and proceeded to steal money from my account. Drained every cent. Altra was not able to do anything for me. Shouldn't there already be a procedure for cases like this? I'm sure it's happened to Altra members before. I called many different department's and was transferred to many different departments but absolutely no one was able to give me a direct answer or anything that could help me and my situation.

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.

Fees at ATM Kwik Trip doesn't charge a fee to use its ATM, but Altra has to tack on a fee. That stinks. First of all, Altra's Onalaska location is terrible. Tricky to enter the lot and tricky to exit the lot because of traffic and the crazy way so many people drive. I asked for an ATM location at the Oak Forest location, but my request was ignored. So to circumvent Altra's lack of concern for me, I simply get $500 of 20s so I have a supply of change on hand. There are numerous financial institutions in the area and I'm shopping.

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!

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.
