Weird Bank
- ts - Tuesday, August 31, 2010 - 3:49 PMThis bank operates in a weird way. A month and a half after I opened my account, they closed it without notice because I made a ACH transaction that made my balance zero (not overdraft). This was weird because the account was a 'no minimum balance account', and so a zero balance should be okay. I called them and explained that I never asked for a closure. So they reopened it, but after a week I get a call stating that they are closing it again because they don't see any big dollar transactions in the 1.5 months that it was open and apparently because I was 'verbal' on the phone when I had complained about my account being closed without notice. Very weird. Perhaps they want only rich customers. Well, I am doing okay with a 5 figure salary, its just that I decided to wait before entrusting my money to them. So they probably assumed that I am broke. Another possibility is that they might be racist -- looking for just white customers. I am saying this because the vice president seemed to habitually mispronounce and fumble my name a number of times without attempting to actually give it a try to read it right. Overall, a suspect bank, with a suspect management. Stay away.

Rewards Checking Rate Going To 3% Feb 1, 2011
Well, here is the lame attempt (below) at an explanation as to why these guys are lowering their rates - AGAIN. For some reason other banks continue to offer 4+% rewards checking......but the economy is apparently too sluggish for First Nebraska Bank to continue to offer this rate.
Time to move your money all....my recommendation is Bank of Nebraska. They currently offer over 4% and have the same account terms, except that you need to rack up 12 card swipes per month versus 10...
(Email I received from First Nebraska Bank):
I know that you are aware that deposit rates have been at historically low levels for quite some time. With the U.S. Economy continuing to be sluggish, it doesn't appear that these rates will change anytime soon. Unfortunately this means First Nebraska Bank needs to lower its "Real Checking" interest rate again. The interest rate on this account will change from 4% APY to 3% APY on February 1, 2011. We appreciate your understanding the need to lower this rate and thank-you for doing business with First Nebraska Bank.
(They appreciate my understanding? I'm glad to see that they'll understand why I'm closing this rewards checking account then...)
