Excellent Experience.
TIAA has offered some of the higher CD rates which is what I seek. One of my CDs matured over the weekend and they walked me through the transfer process. They added a couple of days accrued interest to the balance due to the weekend maturity and everything went smoothly. Their representatives have always been professional and thoroughly answer any questions. I hope to do more business with them soon.
Uh Oh...Warning Signs
As good as my experiences have been with TIAA, my initial exposure to TIAA BANK has me worried. They did offer a better IRA CD rate so i took a chance. Website is WEAK as when one looks up account status/activity, etc. BUT - my MAIN COMPLAINT IS - when i needed to speak to Customer Service 2x, they DEMANDED i tell them my "security code" VERBALLY and i had other people in the room, use this code elsewhere AND CANNOT BELIEVE IT CANNOT BE INPUTTED ON THE PHONE OR OTHER METHOD as every i bank i work with has as procedure.
Bank Has Really Declined Since TIAA Bought It
This bank just ok when it was Everbank but I put up with it for the great interest rates. Ever since TIAA bought it the web interface has only gotten worse. The past few months the bill pay options have stopped working correctly and now I don't even have the option of paying a bunch of my credit cards automatically. The missed payments led to late fees because TIAA never notified me that they wouldn't be making these payments any more.
Customer Service acts like there's nothing wrong and they've been completely useless.
Also, their wire transfer service is terrible and expensive. TIAA is driving this place into the ground.
Troubling Practices
Most institutions allow you to withdraw money for medical reasons without delay or penalty, that was not the case of TIAA. In addition to some of the longest phone hold times in the industry, the phone experience is an automated nightmare. They make it very difficult to get your money. Representatives were not knowledgeable and tell you what's convenient so they can end the call. Absolute worst experience with a bank ever. AVOID! High rates and better service available elsewhere.
