  I have been a long time member with ORNL and have held numerous loans with this small branch with no issues. The convinces of biweekly payments, transfers and bill pay made banking easy when the pandemic hit. I have had several fraud transactions over the years and instead of panicking I knew ORNL would have it resolved in less than 72 hours. I now take advantage of there text alerts for withdrawals as well as round up transfers!! Loose your card no problem walk into the branch and for a small fee you’ll have a new card. My 16 year old loves the scan check deposit simplicity! The staff even makes it a point to know me by my first name before I even give my account number which amazes me every time as I’m just a local nobody ! Most recently Alex Minton not only worked with me on one spur of the moment small loan but a second in less than a month. The process was completely seamless for what I was looking to do to. He explained my best options for the type of loan I was wanting even checked out both vehicles I was looking to buy and the businesses I was looking to buy from. Even though almost quitting time both times he was able to secure all the necessary documents and provide a check in less that 24 hours all the while being professional, courteous and being mindful of my time. If your wondering if this small branch will meet your needs the answer is “YES”!!

  Horrible customer service all the way around. Purchased a vehicle and obtained the loan through ORNL. Attempted to use the banking app, and have since been locked out of my entire account for 2 months. After attempting to contact the customer care line during different times of day/evening/mornings, I've been on hold for at LEAST 30 minutes each time without ever speaking to a representative. The autmoatic hold voice says that my call is important to them, but clearly it is not. Horrible system ran so poorly, I have intention on finding another bank to transfer my loan to.

  Great bank (credit union) for auto loans! Decisions are made locally in Oak Ridge. Very helpful staff.

  Online banking has been problematic since I began banking at ORNL so I needed to sit down with someone to help me. I intentionally chose a small branch in my community so I could have a personal relationship with the people who work there. That has not been my experience. After Covid service became more challenging. Now the Chapman Highway Branch has unvaccinated employees in tight spaces who also seem uninformed about the medical crisis our communities are facing. Covid has created so many. Immunize-compromised customers may not be safe. I did not feel safe nor heard. I will say I got very upset. I left the lobby, went through drive through and withdrew my money from my accounts. Thankful to live in America where I have choices.

  Response from the owner

  Hey Ellen, we are very sorry to hear that you felt unsafe while visiting one of our branch locations. It is definitely not our intention to do so. I will report this to our management staff. Please feel free to send us your contact information to [email protected] so we can right this wrong. Thank you!

  One word, CLICKISH. if your not in their click they are gonna do everything they can to make it hard on you...they can't punish me with late fees, so they try to charge me $15 to come into branch and pay loan payment. I have never been charged a fee, but according to the rude male child in the front, he is allowed to charge me the $15. I have always paid on time, a car note, signature loan, credit card, checking and savings account. I am finished with ORNL, me and my excellent credit. Like he told me, I would have to come in the branch and wait while he request the form to close my credit card from somewhere, someone.... that this is the only way. I thought banking was suppose to be for the community members not pick and choose who to charge outrageous fees to and make wait long periods for things that probably has other more convenient ways to complete. I didnt get his name, but he's the young blondish male sitting at the counter at the south knoxville branch. He needs to work on his customer service. At the end of the day, its the attitude that you use with others that truly count, his attitude has cost his employer a very good customer.
