Report
They wouldn't accept a Sarcan cheque with their name on it as Sarcan's banking institution. Their excuse, you need to be a member here. I tried another credit union and they said, you need to two pieces of id and a $10.00 fee. Sometimes when your own bank is not available, there should be an alternative. This one wasn't. Now I can see why the credit union is not the best place to do your banking.
