I have been banking with Alta One Federal credit Union since 2011 in Bishop, CA. I bought a new car and they did the auto loan for me I have always been very happy with them! Well in 2021 I moved out of state and I still have my Alta account as I go back to California. I only wish they had a branch where I live now! Everyone is very nice I highly recommend them!🙂

Visited Alta 1 on Friday April 12th, out of 8 clerk desks only 2 were being used. Whoever runs this bank needs to reevaluate how they manage.

This is not a good place to do your banking. When cashing a check, the teller on 2 different times would not give me my change (coins) she only gave me the $ bills. When I requested my change, she still refused. I closed our account.

Yesterday I went to close my account with Alta one. The lady behind the desk stated that what ever issues they were having before , shouldn’t persist any more because they are under new management. I insisted that i just wanted to close my account and continue my services else where. The teller then purposely inconvenienced me by writing me a check instead of giving me cash to close out my account. I told her I would like the cash and her response was “well I don’t have any”. I can’t cash the check with Alta one because , you guessed it , I don’t have an account with them anymore. So now if I go somewhere else to cash this check, I will be charged a fee to cash it, the amount of money issued on the check will be less than what I would have left with If they gave me cash. This place has always given me the run around when it came to resolving different issues , wounding recommend anyone to bank here.

Just went through escrow and got funding pulled the day before a notice of not to perform. Complete joke of a credit union
