Everything Is Just Fine
Small bank, great rates, especially their high interest checking. Been with them for about one year.
Yeah I Don't Know
Rate seems among the better but between the chat and calling in to find out, I was told there are no external transfers out of your deposited money for 90 days, and that the only access would be through an ATM with a limit of $1,000/day. With a 6 transaction limit per month, that's a limit of $6,000 per month you could access of your money if you go to the ATM for 6 separate days. After 90 days, $25K per day limit, but it seems like your money would be tied up for the first month and a half just FYI.
Dodgy Mistakes
With the same thing occurring to a few of the folks who post here over a length of time this explanation of the 'mistaken' fee is suspicious.
Good afternoon Mr. _______,
Thank you for your recent inquiry regarding the $5.00 statement fee. We apologize for any inconvenience, and I have gladly refunded back the fee to your account today August 26,2020. The issue that occurred was that we noticed our system started charging customers for electronic statements. Once we notice this happening, we started going through each customers account and reversing the fee. Now that the issue is resolved this shouldn't happen again. You will see the reversal on your next statement. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
Thank you for banking with Quontic
Very Sneaky In My Opinion-Not Much Communication
Opened an account with them for the 1.01% interest rate. In VERY small print, which I must have missed, I did read the waiver and contract it says you have to make 10 transaction every month from this account as a POS to receive that rate. I never received a debit card from them. So I reached out and asked for a debit card. They said I never asked for one...? Um shouldn't they just send one if that is part of my requirement for the APR? Then I decided I was going to return my money back to my old account because I got a higher interest rate there compared to the .01 they are giving me. I have no access to my money! I asked why not and they said I had to send them my banking statement showing the money transferred, this was never told to me. I asked that their initial deposit should have shown that this was my account and be verification enough. They said no. Now it shows I have available funds but I cannot transfer them to an external account. I read from another person they hold it for 90 days. It all seems super sneaky. I will be transferring my money IMMEDIATELY at the 90 day mark. Also the customer service messages are hard to interpret
