Seems Good To Me!
I was really surprised to read all the bad reviews for iGo Bank and thought I'd post a positive one. I read that the website is awful, but I found it really easy to navigate and it took very little time to complete all the necessary steps to open a new account - far shorter time than I have had with some of the other on-line banks. Perhaps they have updated the website recently, but it seems good to me and very clear.
The messages back to me on completing everything seem concise and detailed, and I have the account # and all the other information such as contact telephone numbers and e-mails (again, you don't always get that with some of the other banks). I know I need to wait for a PIN # to arrive before I can access the website, but that's OK, and I was advised to actually open and acknowledge all the terms for the account.
It all seems very clear and easy to me, so I am posting 5 stars for ease of access, good rate (best as of today for the CD I was opening), and clear and concise messaging. If I have problems with any customer service in the future, I can always come back and revise this review, but for the moment it's all good so far.
Gifts For Banking
I opened two $25k gifts for banking CD's, I did receive the promotional rate. I have another CD at IgoBanking, yet they are asking for my proof of address to be mailed to bank? CSR stated don't worry, but I sent it anyway to make sure that nothing holds up the process.
Initially, I was told by CSR that a few days afte the account was funded, would receive an email to select gift, and gift would take up to 3 weeks for delivery. Today, I called, since it's been 4 days since funded, I was told that the email to first select the gift will take 3 weeks and then up to 3 weeks after ordering, for delivery.
I was hoping to have these gifts for Christmas, but does not look like that is going to be a possibility, if in fact, it's 3 weeks to first receive the email to select a gift! The CSR advised this is stated on the website. I've looked thru the FAQ and do not find a 'timeframe' of when the email will be sent, it merely states, after the account is funded you will receive an email. It should be clarified on the website that it will be up to a 6 week process to select and receive the gift.
Customer Service
If you are used to dealing with Ally Bank or American Express bank or Discover bank etc, do not expect same service from IGo bank. Customer service is non existent and reps not knowledgeable. Customer service hours- Few, Wait time very long.It is a regular brick and mortar bank which wants to dabble into on line banking. Good rates bad service. Very bad service. Reps have no knowledge of on-line banking side.
Read All Fine Print
The set-up is easy. The rate very good. BUT your withdrawals are limited. I noticed there was a limit to the number of withdrawals in a month but not a limit on the amount.
I asked for a waiver and am still waiting on a response (2 weeks). Finally asked them to close the account at the end of November. Now December 17th and no communication, no money and they have locked my online access.
Revising to a 2 star, simply because of the rate. There are other banks with similar rates and much easier access of YOUR money.
