Lowered Rates Twice In Eight Months
- twinbee - Tuesday, February 21, 2012 - 10:12 PMJust got a letter in the mail saying that starting March 22, 2011 the max deposit for interest in velocity checking will be lowered from $30k to $20k, and the rate will be lowered from 3.01% APY to 2.25% APY.
Given the general uncertainty in the banking sector right now due to the debt crisis in Europe, it is understandable that they might change their rate. However I got hit with a rate change a few days after I opened my account, so I am considering other banks that offer a better deal on rewards checking.
Other than this flux, the customer service has been great.

Northstar Bank Of Texas
- pearlbrown - Monday, December 20, 2010 - 11:33 AMI like doing business with this bank. The people are friendly, helpful and professional. I also like that, as one might expect from a small-town bank, they are actively involved in the communities in which they are located. For example, the bank has for the last 7 years been a generous supporter of a local group which holds an annual event open to the county.
The online system is old technology and has the look and feel of something out of the late 1980's but it works reliably and consistently. Your login ID is your account number but it can be changed through a call to the Customer Service number. There is a separate signon for Estatements, which is cumbersome and that can likely be changed as well. I believe the odd-cycle issue that the previous reviewer mentioned is common to many Reward Checking accounts although some institutions offering them do have more "conventional" qualification periods coinciding with month end.
However, the Velocity Checking rate is terrific, the $50K cap is outstanding, and the required number of debit transactions is very manageable. The Bill Pay interface works well (I requested a transfer at 0700 on a Monday and it was available in the target account Wednesday at 0700).
To me, all those pluses more than offset a less-than-stellar interface and odd cycle closes and I would definitely recommend them.

Wonderful People
- Anonymous - Friday, May 14, 2010 - 12:58 PMWonderful people. Beautiful bank. Hated to leave them but did not like the cycle date beginning 3rd Wednesday of month. When found a little better deal with cycle date 1st day of month, went to it. Northstar was very cooperative in getting my money (over $100k) back and I apprediate that. If they chenge the cycle date, I'll be back.

Horrid Service
- FunMom - Monday, April 9, 2012 - 1:55 PMWorst service around. After waiting 15 min. to get the check I was depositing verifired... And the check was verified by the other bank. I was told they would go into my acct immediately. I left happy but then was called on the phone 30 min later after making a few payments telling me I would "now" have to wait 2 days without an explanation!! Really?!

NORTHSTAR's CUSTOMER SERVICE REPUTATION IS A JOKE
Several weeks ago my wife & I visited Northstar's Colleyville,TX branch and inquired re opening Velocity checking accounts for ourselves and for our respective elderly mothers for whom we have legal Powers of Attorney. Both my wife and I manage the financial affairs for our Moms who are in senior citizens centers and rely on us for financial and other assistance. We were told that could open accounts with the POA's (which we didn't have with us at the time) and left our information to open the joint account for ourselves and told them we would return with the POA's for the Mom's accounts.We returned a few days later to complete the paperwork for all three accounts only to be told that Northstar would not honor the Powers of Attorney and that our Mothers would have to come in in person, citing the Patriot Act protections to guard against terrorism.
WOW!! As mentioned both Mothers are in senior citizen centers, making personal appearances next to impossible and clearly highly impractical. Next their elderly status is the very reason we had Powers of Attorneys executed in the first place. We have used the POA's at other banks and business for several years without issue and find Northstar's position absurd, without logic or common sense and perhaps even illegal and/or discriminatory. Maybe they just don't like to do business with senior citizens, including ourselves.
This was one of the worst customer service experiences I have been a part of and heve shared our experience with everyone we know. TRY ANOTHER BANK - THERE'S PLENTY OF GOOD ONES OUT THERE.
