Was ready to move the remainder of my balance out as this bank was lagging way behind when I discovered they upped their rate to 5.00 %. They charge $7. for a next day ACH(wasn't the case when I opened the acct. a year ago) and standard is free(3 days). I'm already with them so I'll stay rather than go thru the hassle and wait to go with Newtek

Unreasonable Holds On ACH Deposits 2

Posted by: |

Just like Chipcollector indicated, same boat of holding funds hostage for 10 business days. Although interest will be earned the organization could manager prospective customer's expectations better. Spoke to a supervisor and conveyed, awaiting word. Please be advised.

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.

Don't Believe The Advertised Interest Rate!

Posted by: |

They should be honest about their interest rate and advertise the true rate you get after they sit on your inbound deposits for several days during which you earn nothing, and they have a nice float at your expense. It's ridiculous. They use ACH, but if you schedule a transfer on a Monday, it will be deducted from the external bank acct that day, but not be credited to the My Banking Direct acct until Thursday. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency should not allow this. I'm sure they will be last bank in line to register for FedNow.
