Whoa - happened (luckily) to check the latest rca rates. I couldn't find Community West Bank (CWB) on the table, til I saw it waaaay down the list at .80%! Stunned, since my account confirmed 2.53% at the beginnning of the week/month.
It's not on their website, but on a branch visit, I learned they're promoting a 1.25% min. 10k balance MMS. Didn't get more details, but they require in-person application for their RCA. (Assume it's the same, but you know about assumptions.) I mentione
Community West Bank's GREAT customer service is demonstrated by getting a personal phone call from the bank notifying that the RCA cap would be lowered to 15k from 25k, so it wouldn't come as a shock. BUT the rate would maintain (for now) at 3.04%.
When you are opening a checking or savings account for its high interest rate, you are hoping that the rate will stay high or at least remain competitive for the long-term. With checking or savings ac ...

Interest Rate Is Steady - But Website Is A NIGHTMARE!
- albee - Friday, October 22, 2010 - 5:31 AMThis bank does have a better than average money market/savings rate in this economy where its hard to find a good deal. But considering when I log on to their site to check my account once every 30 days, there is always a website problem. When I phone for support the next day, the cs rep doesnt know how to trouble shoot.
Website & tech support are a joke. But its ok to bank there.

CWB - Great Personal Service
Just as its name says, it's a community bank with great individual personal service. Everyone I've encountered on the phone or in person is personable and service-oriented. Although I like the expediency of internet banking, I also like having at least one in-person bank that knows who I am. I can appreciate why they require a branch visit to open an account.
Webite is prone to bounce you out a lot, so you have to keep re-logging until you get a feel for where the glitches are. Double clicking seems to be a culprit on some links.
Service deserves 5+ stars, but I reluctantly docked one star for the bouncy online account. Hopefully, corporate will get that fixed soon. In the meantime, their branch's personal service tries to help offset that.
FYI -
--Multiple reward accounts are allowed per individual. (Easily added, since up to 3 of any account types per signature card. More than that probably just requires additional signature cards.)
--ChexSystems check only (no credit bureau hits).
