EagleBank is headquartered in BETHESDA and is the 2nd largest bank in the state of Maryland. It is also the 147th largest bank in the nation. EagleBank is a community bank with 13 offices in Maryland, Northern Virginia, and Washington, DC. EagleBank also offers a complete line of competitive personal banking products and services.
Normally I don't bother with local banks in my area (Maryland) because the rates generally are poor in comparison with national on-line banks.
But I happened across EagleBank who was offering 5.44% APY on a 12 month CD. One of their branches was only a few miles away, so I drove over there and opened a CD. The 5.44% APY was available in my choice of terms from 12 months to 17 months (I chose 17 months), which was not at all obvious from their online rate sheet (12 month @ 5.44 and 18 month @ 5.08).
No hassle to open, took five minutes.
I too was denied by CHEX in December '24. I couldn't
figure out why with a CR of 798 and all the info they want. So, I applied under my wife's info, no problem. I stayed with it b/c of the rates. The one inconvenience
is I need my wife's phone around during authentication when banking. Their Deposit Growth is rated "F" on DA . So, I will not put more than 250K in.
Yep, they exposed your data to the bad guys.
Not a good look for EagleBank.
I too was just declined for a new CD (large balance) due to CHEX. I wonder how much business this bank is losing due to CHEX! I have CDs at a number of financial institutions and routinely open new ones. This is my first CHEX decline. Makes me wonder exactly what info CHEX is providing to cause the decline. It can’t be credit score as mine is very high (and who needs a high credit score to open a CD….i am depositing money, not borrowing money). You have to provide a drivers license to prove identity so it makes me wonder what exactly they are using CHEX for as it seems based on all the posts about CHEX that they are providing bad information to the bank but seems bank doesn’t care. Don’t waste your time with applying (btw, they take your bank account info as part of the application process to fund the account…..so they have your info for the account you plan to use to fund the CD for declined applications). Maybe they should stick to in-branch only CDs!
