My daughter just paid off her previous car loan at ALTRA and has a very good credit score yet when the SUBARU dealership attempted to get the loan we were told she CANT 6.99 % that is advertised and would have to apply for a credit card to get the lower rate. We ended up financing with Subaru and she was hoping to finance with Altra.

Waiting on the phone takes forever and once it is answered they forward your call putting you back into the wait loop, emails go un answered and online chat no longer exists or can be found if it does exist yet. I’m simply trying to get a verification number to use Apple Wallet with my Altra cards and they have ignored every request. Their service is abhorrent and inexcusable.

Loan application was over the phone

Loan application was over the phone. Having had previous dealings with the credit union helped. Much personal attention and prompt service was expected, and they came through.

After 49 years with this institution

After 49 years with this institution, when it was Trane Credit Union, I have begun to lose confidence. The resent "event", which amounted to hacking, has upset me. I'm so upset with this institution for spending $$ on rock concerts, golf outings, etc. all in the name of marketing, when they can't even pay employees enough to staff some of their offices in La Crosse, WI. Tough luck if you need any services on a Saturday. But this last instance, with everyone needing to change their passwords, takes the cake. Spend the $$ on cybersecurity and attracting good employees.

Julie,

Thank you for your valued membership after all these years. Please know Altra was not hacked, and your account remains safe and secure with us. The multiple security measures we have in place did work against a recent credential stuffing attempt. We suggest our members update their usernames and passwords to include multiple characters and to be different from other logins you may have. This is crucial to combat any future cyber-attack attempts. Please give us a call at 608-787-4500 if you have any other additional questions. Thank you for choosing Altra!

I’ve been with Altra for over 30 years

I’ve been with Altra for over 30 years. They were called another CU when I started. We have had a few different loans through them and they’ve always been great to work with. My kids both have accounts now too with them. I don’t ever foresee changing. Never had any issues.

Great Customer Service where did it go?????

I came into the credit union today to get a cashier check. I walked in stopped at the sign that says wait someone will call you, right at the first desk. There were three young clerks one male/two females have a great laughing conversation. Ladies behind the desk young man on the outside, he turned and looked at me and I thought he was a customer. Lady number 1 was laughing looked at me and moved behind the desk so I could not see at face just her body. They carried on their conversations for about 5 more minutes. Why!!!! If all of them are employees on duty, why did they wait on their personal conversation before waiting on me. I taught customer services for years. When customer walk into your establishment you are to speak and help them immediately with great customer services. I didn't feel that today. We lose customer when we do not provide great custom services. That is one of the reasons I left Austin Bank terrible customer services.

The online banking is impossible

The online banking is impossible. I have tried to set up my account so that I dont have to pay the $10 every month. I finally just gave up.

Hi Lori,
Without knowing your full account information, I believe you're referring to our Make a Payment site where you can register as a user to avoid the $10 payment fee on a loan. We'd be happy to help you get this set up! Please give us a call at 1-800-755-0055, option 2 for Member Services, so we can walk you through setting up your account. Thanks for choosing Altra!

Unable to access my account

Unable to access my account. followed instructions but it did not work.
Altra's system is not user friendly, I struggle to sign on every time I want to review the status of my account. Instructions give on line don't seem to work. Never had such bad experience with other providers.

Im a new member and was having some issues, after trying via chat, Alex was kind enough to call me and actually walk me through the whole thing. Alex is awesome and A#1... So I hope he gets some kudos from Altra for not only doing his job but going above and beyond what he really had to do.. It was such a pleasure!!!!
