Great Experience - Quick & Fair
Moving everything away from my last bank to DR Bank since they have good rates, cover ATM fees and don't have nonsense online banking fees. And actually have a human available to speak to without being on hold for 2 hours. Would highly recommend.
AMAZING EXPERIENCE
The team at DR Bank are incredible. I have both my personal banking and my business banking at DR Bank and would highly recommend. The staff are always quick to get back to me when I need something. Savings rates are usually very high which helps, but I stick around because of the service.
Bait-And-Switch CD Rates – Stay Away
Opened a CD here and seriously regret it. I applied when the advertised rate was 4.65%, and while my funds were in transfer, that rate was still live. But once the money landed, they dropped the rate to 4.35% without warning—then declared the account “opened.” No heads-up, no chance to opt out. Just quietly took my money and gave me a worse rate the next day. That’s not just poor service, it’s unethical. At the very least, you warn the client and let them decide.
Lesson learned: never trust small banks with slow processing and shady practices. You can keep my peanuts—I’ll take my real money elsewhere.
Worst Bank! Don't Affilaite With DR!
You provide me TWO different loan options & I upload documents TWICE and have been told different "things" I needed to do and you deny the loan? You are doing this due to my age. I pay all my bills on time with a credit score of 732 (YOU SENT ME CREDIT REPORT).
You are crooks & I will never recommend Upstart or DR Bank to anyone. If I had the desire I could win a lawsuit based on your practices & deceit.
Shame on you and your company!

WORST BANK EVER
I tried to open up a joint account and their system would not allow it. They said they had a system problem and I should open individual account.
Tried to do that and system would not allow it. They have no idea why and there was no one that could help. They do not know how their system works and I would be very hesitant to open an account with them.
