Uses Savebetter Technology
Had some glitches with Chrome browser but customer service at Continental and SaveBetter helpful. Strange process - no vetting for security; no trial deposits with external bank. Uncertain if SaveBetter intermediate platform presents risks with FDIC insurance ?
Continental Bank (Surge)
I'm one not to normally write reviews but Surge really pushed my buttons. Having never missed a payment since being a card holder, I recently let my payment lapse by ONE day. Technically the payment wasn't late as Continetal subtracts 3 days off of their 30 day reporting period (so only 27 days) my payment came in on the 29th day not the 30th so it technically I wasn't late. Having utilized this card to rebuild my credit, I thought they would be more willing to assist with a small speed bump along my road to credit health. Instead there was zero supoort for those of us that made bad decions in the past but worked hard to rebuild a healthy credit lifestyle. They give you ONE unknown, to the customer, cushion day to get a payment in BUT do not contact the customer (as other companies do) to not only support good credit health but good customer service; instead they wait another day to give you a "this is an attempt to collect a debt" call. Not willing to review my payment history with them or (with my other creditors) to forgive a clear oversight on my part; they were more than willing to immediately hit you with a late fee and send the late payment to transunion and experian. Surge claims to help you repair your credit and work with you but that is a marketing lie..... live and learn. DO NOT USE SURGE! There are PLENTY of other more reliable credit building cards like SELF and Credit Karma. Bye Bye Surge
Did My Research
This was a sponsored bank on this website with a good 13 month CD rate in todays time. I decided to explore it. Found out that it was a bank in China. Hence did not start an account. Would not be wise to prematurely close a CD from a globalist bank- pay the penalty and fund a bank that was in China. If your research leads you to a different outcome, would be interested. Thanks community.
