I chose NSWFCU ( now Topside) for a personal account in 2012 as a school social worker in King George County.
I again chose NSWFCU for a business account in 2017 when I opened up a private practice to provide affordable mental health care in the community.
I did this to support local businesses. However, this credit union will not protect me as a customer and part of the community.
There was a death in our family this month, and I took time off to take care of the cremation, etc. My account was low and went into the negative due to electronic charges that I was unaware of. I was charged $32 for attempted charges as low as $5, and Topside continued to allow charges even though the account was negative.
I have over $400 in NSF fees this month from unauthorized electronic debits attempted multiple times.
I have not written bad checks that have bounced or taken advantage of Topside.
Topside ( formerly NSWFCU) has denied my request to stop charges and only allow deposits. I have only been told that there is nothing that they can do while my account is in the negative.
Like most Americans, $400 is a significant amount. This situation has led to other essential bills being unpaid.
I am disappointed that a credit union in our community will hang people out to dry in a difficult time only to make profits.
I would encourage community members and small business owners to reconsider their relationship with Topside FCU since they do not adhere to the values that keep our families safe and thriving.

The following ratios and data are available to help you better understand the financial condition of Topside. The data is provided by the NCUA. All credit unions on BestCashCow, except those specified as not NCUA-insured in the overview section above, are NCUA-insured. Depositors should be careful to remain within NCUA insurance limits.
Texas Ratio
| Topside | U.S. Average |
|---|---|

The Texas Ratio compares the amount of loans at risk and assets repossessed with the amount a credit union has on hand to cover any losses. The closer the Texas Ratio is to 1-to-1 or 100%, the less capital and reserves a credit union has to absorb its loan losses.

| Topside | U.S. Average |
|---|---|
| 7.65% | 13.93% |
Topside FCU has a net worth of 7.65% versus the BestCashCow average of 13.93. Net worth measures how much total assets exceed total liabilities. The higher the net worth number the more secure a credit union is considered.
