Emery Federal Credit Union Review: Live Chat
As mentioned at the start of this review and ranking of the leading Cincinnati credit unions and Columbus credit unions, one of the biggest misconceptions among non-members is that credit unions aren’t as convenient or accessible as conventional banks.
This is untrue at Emery; they aim to provide as many varied ways for members to reach them and perform transactions as possible.
One of those methods is through Live Chat. With Live Chat, members can connect with a local team of support representatives who can answer any number of questions relating to accounts, deposits, and loans.
