Solid Overall Bank

Posted by: |

Overall, I'm very happy with having my money at CFG Bank. The rates are the best in the country and the customer service was very helpful when I called in to finish setting up my account.

I agree that the withdrawal limits could be better, but luckily for me I'm not moving large sums of money regularly in and out of the account.

As for the fact that they want a bunch of personal information, I didn't find it anything out of the norm. Banks have a TON of regulations they need to comply with they are doing what is required. If I had to choose between a bank that did MORE due diligence than less....well I'd always go with the more rigorous.

Just my two cents...

To open an account is somewhat onerous, but worth it. They just want to make sure all is on the up and up with a new account holder. Can't be too careful these days. I think this is a great bank.

Fine Customer Service And Good Rates

CD's were recently above the market -- but were dropped this week; are now equal to top-tier banks at 2.45 to 2.5 for 12 to 18 months. Excellent customer service.

CFG Bank Review

Posted by: |

Application response was an email request for "A valid copy of your driver’s license OR a copy of a utility bill from the address with your name on it
A copy of a phone bill with your name and phone number on it" The app required the amount and account # for initial funding of accout.
So I called and asked them what the problem was. I've dealt with numerous banks and never put out so much personal data for so little success. I told them to cancel the request after I asked them why they didn't just call me and why they didn't compare the DL data to the app.
Forget it; the APY is not worth it. Wish I had walked away when I was filling out the app.
