Today was extremely different per the service that I've received over the past 3 or so years. I don't know if the lady was afraid, intimidated or what. But, she appeared startled of my presence. I won't indulge in any possibilities as everyone have such days. She was really nervous like while asking questions and instructing me to sit in the lobby as titles are kept else where and shared that the bank was slow with people (short staffed) and she was just there to help fill in. Let's not assume for the sake of, but she was extremely different per other friendly approaches. On the other hand,I had already received information that my car title would be in the teller lobby. The young man was cool calm and collected per others when I come in the credit union. He politely went and got my title and gave it to my as she hearingly enough in the small area indicated he would need proper I. D. Oh well strange experience somewhat. But in my view no harm no foul. But very different to say the least.Dwayne

I have been a member of this credit union for over 25 years and I am generally happy with it. However, in the past year I have had trouble getting into my account online, especially after I have changed my password. Since I do almost all of my banking online, this is not only inconvenient, it is annoying! I am about to give up and take my business elsewhere. Please make the necessary changes to have password updates automatic. I am pretty sure that is the problem. I make the changes and I think I can use them immediately but I cannot.

I secured a loan through Caro Federal Credit Union back in August for my wife's car. Then, just today I closed on a loan to replace my car. In both cases I worked with Monica Bligen. She is very thorough and professional in every way. It was a pleasure meeting and doing business with her. I've been a credit union member for over 40 years, and I've received consistently good service during that time. My association with Ms. Bligen was no exception. It was among the best experiences I've had with Caro.

HORROR STORYWill be switching banks…All of my money is in my account here and I only have one card. I am 2 hours away from the nearest bank and my car is in the shop with little gas so I have no way to go there to withdraw money of get a new card. Today is Friday and my card had declined twice, I went to pick up my only vehicle from the shop and it declined a third time. I also have all of my bills including my electric and water bill coming in today. Caro has not been able to tell me what is wrong with my account. I was told I could wait until Monday or Tuesday for a call back from a specialist. So essentially I have no way to spend my hard earned money, no truck, and my water and electricity will most likely be shut off once the card declines for them. I am also low on groceries and have no way to buy more without my card working. There seems to be nothing they can do for me and I just have to accept that all of my essential services will be shut off because my car is locked.

Ever since Lorie left, the place has gone downhill.Phone is never answered. It’s impossible to speak to someone on the phone.I needed a new debit card, she said sure. Then proceeded to help the other customers in line. Been here for 25 minutes. New debit card took 5 min in the past.Horrible training of employees, they don’t hold them accountable. They also fleece you if your account goes negative by $35 every two days it stays negative. The only way this bank can make money is by literally stealing from you, instead of by providing an actual service.Gonna switch to First Citizens. At least they’re organized, act professionally, don’t close at 2:00 (Pulaski st location), and their employees are actually at work to work.

I have been banking here since I arrived in Columbia from Canada in 1995. Big banks would not give me a credit card or cash cheques in American dollars drawn on Canadian Banks (as a foreigner, I was considered to have no financial history even though my previous credit card was with Citibank and my pay was being directly deposited). Carolina Collegiate, as it was then known did all that for me and were so wonderful that I have been their loyal customer ever since. I don't know who suggested the goofy new name or the ostentatious, pillared new building (with the most grindingly depressing, generic interior) and all the policy changes, but I have to agree with the other reviewers that they now have the inconveniences of a small bank plus the obliviousness and rapaciousness of a big one. The ATMs cannot read most of the cheques I try to deposit, but the only branch with actual people at it is not convenient. Even simple questions go through an annoying automated screening process and if you are lucky enough to get an actual human being on the phone they rarely know what they are doing. It takes forever to get problems resolved because the people at the bank do not return calls. I will only be here for a couple more years so I will stick it out, but is so disappointing to see this delightful, small and friendly bank turn into what appears to be an undergraduate marketing project gone wrong.

I have been a member of Caro since it was Carolina Federal. I joined in the 90's, and never regretted my choice. The people are always willing to assist, and passionate about the members needs. I have financed cars, homes, personal loans; and have a business account with them. They did not always say yes to my loan request, but I always felt like family not just a member.Thank you directors and hiring authorities for placing such tenacious and professional people on the front lines.

This is a great place to bank with. The staff is always friendly and are extremely efficient. Monica Bligen was especially helpful in walking me through the process of being a first time car buyer. She made the process quick and painless. I would highly recommend her and this credit union.

Absolutely all the good news and all the positive reviews about Mrs Kelly an expert, skilled, and trustworthy Forex/Binary broker is 100% factual and true as I invested part of my hard-earned salary of $1,000 where Kelly Traded on my account effectively to be able to earned a huge profit of $13,000 after just 7 days trade on her extremely profitable Forex/Binary company/platform. "Opportunities don't happen, you create them." Now I’m persuaded, convinced and totally believed on Forex/Binary Trades thanks to Kelly. Contact her @

I have used Caro since I was a little kid and they have taken great care of me. Highly recommend. I even kept my account after moving out of state because they’re the best.
