So Far So Good. Minor Glitches And Complaint....

Posted by: |

I opened an Ascent account in September with a guarantee of 2.25% through June 30 of 2020 (minimum 25K deposit required). I had trouble opening the account online which would not allow me to choose the higher paying Ascent account. It took a conversation with an overseas rep to finally switch me to a rep in Pennsylvania who then opened the online account for me on her end. Both reps were courteous. However, though my balance was transferred into the account and I could view it online, I kept receiving automatic alerts on more then one occasion advising me to finalize the Ascent account and deposit cash into the account. I also received a letter from the bank informing me that the account was opened, but the actual opening date stated was wrong and lead me to think that I was not being credited fully for 2 weeks worth of interest. This kind of confusion caused me to keep calling the banks service reps to make sure all was well and my cash was actually earning interest. Well finally now, all seems to have been finalized and I can see that my cash is there and is earning the interest it's supposed to earn.

My only outstanding complaint is that I wish the bank would post the interest rate on my account page for me to see. Posting the current interest rate that I am being paid is a standard kind of confirmation that every other online bank account I have does provide, and Customer's Bank should do this too. EDITED TO ADD 11-7-19; After I don't know how many visits to my online account, I finally stumbled upon where I needed to click and see the current interest rate they posted to my balance.

Confusing Bank To Deal With

Posted by: |

The only reason to be with them is their good rate right now (August 2018). Every time I call their customer service with a question, I get an overseas person who I can barely understand. Why does a Pennsylvania bank have an overseas customer service department??
Also, why is the ACH policy so darn ridiculous. Would anyone deal with a local bank that had crazy limits (5k per day) on your deposits and withdrawals? NO!!!!

Amazing Customer Service...

Posted by: |

I created an account just to say the customer service at this bank has been top notch. Yes, you have to get past the call center to talk to actual bank employees, but then the service is outstanding.

I appreciate the reviews that mentioned the withdrawal limits, so I plan to initiating all transactions from an external account to get around the limits.

I'll update if I run into any issues, but so far... smooth sailing (and a great rate).

Thank you so much to the customer service team at Customers Bank for making this process easy!
