I Usually Don’T Give 5 Star Review, But I Had Really Good Experience With This Bank.

Posted by: |

I try not to give five or one star bank reviews because I do not want to be bias.

This time it is an exception. I had to break a CD due to emergency. Even though my circumstances were very unusual, the bank had all legal rights to charge me penalty per agreement I had signed.

The bank was kind enough to waive all the penalties, released funds in a timely manner and wire transferred funds the same day!

Previously, I had no problems opening accounts with Northpointe Bank and I had no problems working with the bank while accounts were opened.

I would use this bank again for my financial needs.

No Good Review Goes Unpunished.

Northpointe raised the MMA rate again, to 2.15 but this time there was no email and the new rate did not apparently apply to existing customers as my account continued to show the 1.85 rate. I emailed them and asked that my account be converted to the new rate. I received this email response (in part):
"Yes, I’m happy to assist and good news – the 2.15% APY top rate has been made active on your account and will be effective retroactive back to the new promotion start date of 08/17/22."
So, if you have one of these accounts, you are going top have to ask...and keep a sharp eye on your account in the future!

Opening the Ultimate Money Market Account was easy.

Setting up the bill pay was swift.

Interest rate is relatively high.

The ACH fund transfer speed between banks originating with Northpointe is slow – three days when many banks routinely carry it out in one day.

Customer Service is poor – once logged-in it’s impossible to find a method to contact it. On the bank’s home page there’s a ‘contact your expert’ link – used it to send an email which was never acknowledged or answered.

Account Opening Process Is ARCHAIC!

Posted by: |

I opened the 2.05% APY Ultimate Savings account yesterday at which time the maximum initial funding limit via an ACH pull into Northpointe is $1,000 I believe. I assumed that once the account was opened I could pull additional funds into the account by setting up the funding account as an "external account" with Northpointe.

Well, you know what happens when you assume! Northpointe does not provide that functionality. The only options are sending in a check, wire the money to Northpointe or ACH the money from the funding account. I bank with Wells Fargo and like all other banks I can think of they have very LOW $ limits on what they allow their customers to ACH OUT of their accounts.

The bottom line is I just closed the Northpointe account the day after I opened it because of their antiquated policies.

Since the 2.05% rate is only available on balances over $25k and they restrict the opening deposit that they do fund via ACH, the customer is forced to either fund by check or wire transfer. An ACH push out of Wells is not an option due to Wells' low $ limits.
