  1. As always thanks Chrissy I appreciate all the hard work and taking care of this for me fear me always CME always does a good job I appreciate your service thanks

  2. Just lazy and a lack of customer service. Requested in writing that funds be sent out 2/1. A week later, still nothing. Called to find out they never sent them. They said they would send today VIA USPS. I still wont have them until next week.

  3. Just a fair warning, this bank has a terrible website/account management page and an even worse procedure/policy toward transactions. It is deliberately confusing. Their policies specifically seek to charge as many fees as possible and they …

  4. Been banking with Cme since 1984 and best bank I’ve had account w. Tellers are so informative like there a personal accountants for me some times I love it thank you all for your hard work….

  7. The folks at CME are amazing…I was on a tight timeframe and they couldn’t have been more helpful or responsive! I very highly recommend using CME for all your financial needs!

  8. This is the second time I have been helped by Lori at the downtown branch and once again she provided incredible service. Her knowledge and professionalism were outstanding and she was able to answer all my questions.

  9. Yes I got a good interest rate but they can’t seem to fix an issue with my payment date or even call me back like they say they will. So far they seem to be liars and can’t get their stuff right. I don’t think I will be doing any more business with them as soon as I can get this thing paid off

  10. I appreciate the great service provided by Kristi Ohler. She is true professional in every sense of the word. She is knowledgeable, responsive and attentive to details. Thanks for helping me out.

  11. Tried to refinance my car loan with them. They only wanted to pay for what the car was worth. Not for what my current loan is for. Which is like $1,500 more. I don’t think I’ll keep them for much longer.

  12. Regret getting my car loan here. CME used company resources to raise funds for Columbus officer Zachary Rosen who has a very public history of excessive use of force. They also have horrible customer service and an antiquated system with a terrible online platform. Should have gone with literally anyone else.

  13. This woman named Christy helped me out so much! Words cannot even explain the changes she made for me. So long story short I had recently lost my girlfriend at that time in a car accident. So now everything is in my name including rent. …

  14. I just started using the bill pay for my HOA fees since my new HOA owners want to charge a fee for making a convenient payment using their online portal. This is the second month and the payment is only going to Cincinnati OH from Columbus …

  15. I would like to thank Ryan hall for helping me with my loan and purchase of my car he was so patient and very helpful and came credit union are fare and always have their customers in their best interest thank you Mrs Cheryl Barnes-Turner

  16. Some say it is hard to see the smile behind the mask we’re all wearing. At CME this was not the case. She was warm and dispersed necessary information like a friend verses so many who do not understand the value of service. When you camouflage good service with being nice, everybody wins!

  17. Even though I was unable to meet the loan officer in person and do the paperwork, Kristi was in touch with me every step of the way and made the virtual loan application easy and helped me to understand.

  18. I had gotten a car, and it ended up being loaned through them. No problem, I got a better deal at the time (considering it was my first car and my credit had not been touched or anything yet, it was my first big thing) than most other …

  19. I was absolutely delighted with the courteous service, short time on task and remarkable Loan outcome. It was like I was their only customer all day. Many thanks to Kristi Ohler!!! She’s one of the best in the business.

  20. Ms. Denton was courteous, professional and kind. She listened to my concerns and offered suggestions that would help me immediately. She called back with updates as she promised and stayed in contact with me from start to finish. She …

  21. CME FCU had been our “life saver” many times throughout the years: at least 40 year member. From auto loans and re-financing CD’s, credit card accounts, Line of Credit, and signature loans. Professional associates, kind, listening, helpful. Pays well to become a SHARE member. Thank You, CME FCU!

  22. Went Christmas shopping on Friday with my debit card. CME took the money off right away… all of it. Then Monday came and a transaction I had forgotten was going to come out left my account negative. I planned to deposit the balance later …

  26. Absolutely terrible financial institution that I have had nothing but problems with. Put an inaccurate missed payment on my account that damaged my credit and took months to have removed. They also wasted hours of my time having me apply to …

  27. Just went in and waited and waited for the notary during the time of the covid-19 epidemic and once the person arrived, they refused to help us even when I offered to pay. You cant just be a credit union member but have to have had opened …

  28. They make it entirely impossible to make a loan payment. They didn’t even have record of my account, despite me having it in an email and providing it to them. Then, they can accept a late payment over the phone, but have no clue how to schedule payments. The left hand doesnt know what the right hand is doing. An absolute joke.

  29. Kristi was extremely helpful and efficient executing our auto loan. We purchased from an out of state dealer and she knew exactly how to handle this. Thanks for the great service!!

    Thanks for everything Kristi. …

  36. This bank definitely has your back. I started my own business and ended up needing some capitol for payroll. I never should have qualified for a loan, however, CME took into account my military background and gambled on me. Needless to say, …
