Everything Impressive -- But Bank May Catch You In A Rate Change
Everything about Quontic's customer service is great. BUT: the bank reserves the right to change your contracted deposit rate after you've completed your application. I went to fund my CD account the moment they put the small trial deposits into my ACH funding account -- only to be told that since the rate had dropped since i started the application, they would not honor the original higher rate. The customer (myself) was not the delaying factor here; I did not use snail mail to fund the account, and i did not wait a moment past the trial deposits appearing to complete the process. Changing rates after an application has been made is simply not customer friendly. Too bad, because customer service interactions were very good. .... Subsequently, I went back to customer service, and they DID promise to honor the original 12-month rate. See updated comments below. I am changing my original rating, to reflect management's willingness to hear their customer's requests that original application deposit rates be honored. Customer reps continue to be polite and professional, and the service is as quick as Ally bank, which has been my most efficient bank til now. Latest rates for cd's are no longer the highest as of today, but rates were very competitive up through last week. Hats off to Quontic management for reversing direction in favor of customers.
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.
Good Luck Getting Funds In Or Out Of This Bank
Quontic's ACH limits are $2000 inbound or outbound. I was told that if I wanted to move funds into my Quontic account, I should initiate it through another bank. Sorry, but I'll find a bank with realistic ACH limits. As a side note, one rep told me that if I initiate an incoming ACH transfer through Quontic that there is no limit. Another rep corrected that statement and told me $2000.

Don’t do it. It’s a NIGHTMARE. Once they get your money……they will make your life miserable trying to get it out. They’ll claim you’re not correctly following their “instructions & will NEVER communicate with you about ANYTHING. Biggest mistake of my life. Closed both accounts today.
