WORST BANKING EXPERIENCE POSSIBLE!!!
i can't say they outright lie to you, they just don't tell you the whole story. Example: They bragged about their new mobile app and how you can make deposits directly from your phone. What they DIDN'T say was they would be placing a 9 day HOLD on those deposits! Gee, don't you think that would've been helpful information for me to know before I used it? Or, although they seem happy to have you as a new customer, they don't tell you that since you're a new customer your account will be flagged for 30 days, meaning any checks you deposit will receive an automatic 9 day HOLD placed on them regardless of whom they are drawn on!!! CROOKED ASSSHOLES!!!!
Need A 0 Star Rating
Been with ornl for 17 years and the past 4 to 5 years it has gone down hill, I’ve had the worst time with debit cards and changing address! First my debit card expired while I was on vacation and they never sent me a new one so I went to the bank to ask about that and they avoided the question and just made me a new card and told me to have a nice day. And now they have changed the cards and just asked about it and they said we sent one in November, and they sent it to my old address and told me I will have to report it lost or stolen like what!! I’ve told you all my new address multiple times and they can’t get nothing right. That’s just a small amount of problems I’ve had with them.
I WILL BE CLOSING MY ACCOUNT after 17 years with them
