WIRE TRANSFER DIFFICULTIES
Ally Bank
(4 stars)I'd always been happy with Ally -- until I had some complicated wires to send out. All I can say is, What a mess! I suggest that if you anticipate needing a wire, get in touch with them at least a week in advance and then make sure you get their security call within the next 48 hours; if you don't receive the call, start agitating. Understand that it may take them 24 hours or more AFTER they call you to get the wire going. I wish that, instead of depending on wiring, I'd written checks and had them overnighted to the receiving institution. Not only would I have saved fees and hours of my time, but the sending institution would have received the funds the day I designated, not two days later.
