I bought an RV and financed half of it. The dealer picked America First. I was skeptical because America First made me open an account with them to get the loan (with 1$ of which they reimbursed) My credit is excellent and anyone would have taken me. All the paperwork was done and I had been there for hours. I told the dealer I didn’t appreciate being made to open an account that I didn’t want opened. However, I continued and left with my RV. I was proud of myself, I worked hard as a nurse with Covid patients and after my la... read more

Well, The funds were withdrawn from my account and when I spoke to Dawn she said they should be back within 24 hours. I called today April 9 and now I am told the funds will not be returned til Monday. Thank you for ruining my weekend because I do not have my available money. I was told different stories by: Hannah Brenda, Amanda, Dawn, Daniel and Martha said they funds may still appear today ... read more

I've used this credit union for two purchases solely for the length of term and interest rate options they provide. That's where the good part ends. Both deals turned into nightmares and the company doesn't seem to care about the hell they're putting me through as a client. I am now on my 4th month of trying to register my RV after America First lost the title and then insisted on sending it to the DMV who lost it then found it and sent it back again. After constantly escalating my frustrations and asking for any level of ow... read more

First of all I have many accounts with America First CU (Truck, Car) great on that side, I have NEVER ever had a problem with customer service or my checking accounts EVER... however America First does NOT know their own products and requirements for their Mortgage department, they need to train their people better. First of all we got an FHA appraisal ($500) AFTER the processor Debbie overlooked a critical issue, of my wife being a full time "seasonal employee" for the IRS, I asked other places and because my wife didn't wo... read more

I have had account with America First for over 20 years, I recently applied for a line of credit only to find out they use appraisers that used very old comparative house values to lower the value of your house so they can push people into their higher interest rates. According to AF the value of my house is $100,000 less than what houses around my neighborhood are selling for. I think is fraud what they are doing but there is no way to prove it because an appraisal is just an opinion and customer don’t get to disagree with ... read more

If I could leave no stars I would. They are the worst EVER to have an auto loan. I cannot wait to refinance with a different company. My first payment was due during the months of when the Covid-19 pandemic started. At that point they did away with the $8 fee every time you make a payment via debit card or ach. I never once missed a payment. Just a couple months ago they resumed back to the $8 fee every payment you make. If you do the math, let’s say for a five year loan and you pay once a month. That is almost $500 in addit... read more

Stay away from trying to refinance a mortgage with this company. They will make it look easy online and offer low rates, however, they will have you send all paperwork needed and have you pay for an appraisal to be done ASAP to then ignore your calls and emails. I started the process 30+ days ago with no progress. They will blame delays on third party. I spoke with customer support who directed me to a lead. She told me they are overwhelmed with work and to expect to pay additional fees for not closing on time which regardle... read more

I have a RV loan through them because they were recommended by the RV dealership (probably lowest bidder). I have never been late on a payment for anything in my life but I received two letters from them saying I was past due and that creditors would be notified. I was mortified. They didn't call me, email me, or anything. Just a letter saying that I was delinquent. I called, waited for half an hour to talk to someone, and found out both times that even though I had set up autopayments, the money was going into a savings acc... read more

**Honest Review** I usually had good experience with AFCU when I was up on my luck. But during a global pandemic AFCU really let me down. I applied for a personal loan for $2,150. Just enough to cover two medical expenses as a result of an unforeseen illness during a really trying time. I was denied with the only explanation being that I didn't have the income to cover the loan. I have never missed a payment on my Auto loan with AFCU. My net income monthly is $3,000. My debt to income ratio is $3,000-(all expenses) which tot... read more
