They Will Alert You Via Email For External Transfer

Posted by: |

You must call them to verify the external transfer of large amount for the first time. Save all the security questions' answers so that you can authenticate yourself when you call. They will also ask you several questions about your residential history similar to the inquiry for a credit score report. An external transfer from NYCB takes about 3 business days to complete on average.

Low External Transfers

Posted by: |

The daily external transfer rate is only 50k. And, monthly is 200K. While that may be fine for some, that is a deal-breaker for me. This is especially true as most of the good online banks are significantly higher.

Has Anyone Received Checks From This Bank?

Posted by: |

I opened this account in the second week of July and at that time ordered checks. Have gone online several times to check status of my check order.
Each time I check the date gets pushed forward.
I am getting the idea that this bank does not want you to have checks. Has anyone received checks from this bank?
