Bank Of Hope
Had Certificates with Bank of Hope when it was known as Wilshire Bank. ABSOLUTELY no problems. Very friendly and competent Korean staff. Sometimes difficult to understand their English. However, ask for emails and all was resolved.
Bank Of Hope ...Lets Hope
When I called in the branch to ask about HYSA they literally had no idea about that. The link is missing from website. It seems I need to call in a different dept and the branch doesnt deal with those accounts it seems. Thats a deal breaker if I need to access money thru branch.
Sketchy Website
This seems to be a great rate, but after checking out their website I don't get a warm and fuzzy feeling. The website didn't load properly several times and after scouring the site I can't find any reference to current rates or the HYSA. On the direct link works. Kinda weird!
Really Horrible Bank
It seems ihis bank caters only to a certain population and demographic. Really hard to do business and as others suggest avoid them.
