Rate Drop To 1.24% 3/24/20 - 3/25/2020

Virtual Bank is no longer competitive in any respect. If you plan on keeping your account open I suggest maintaining only a minimal $100 balance.

Rate Drop To 1.39% 3/6/20 - 3/6/2020

Prior rate was 1.78%. I was about to send them funds from another bank that had slashed their rate. Oh well.

Great Rates!!

Posted by: |

I found out about VirtualBank by searching for CD rates. I decided to open an account since they offered me better rates than my main bank was offering.

Overall, I've had a great experience with them. Opening my account was pretty easy. I linked my primary bank account to make my initial deposit and the rest was taken care of. I really like the fact that I can quickly transfer funds between my VirtualBank account and my main bank without any issues.

I haven't really considered VirtualBank as a primary bank, but to earn a bit of extra cash, why not.

Top-Tier Rate, But ...

Posted by: |

Attractive promotional rate with one-year guarantee, but that's about it. Spartan website, not up to the competition, unpredictably inaccessible. Primitive e-messaging system accepts sent messages, but doesn't retain them. Doesn't matter actually since so far all ignored. CSR's willing, but information often unreliable. No weekend telephone support. Quick ACH, then annoying 3-day hold.

Uncomfortable, moving on.

Terrible Account Opening Process And Customer SVC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: |

The ordeal with VirtualBank continues! Yesterday I wrote that my application for the 2.01% money market account was denied due to a report issued by ChexSystems. Apparently, ChexSystems monitors the number of accounts an individual opens or applies for. I tried calling them but they don't talk to consumers. I had to file a complaint online.

I'd like to state here that being denied because I chase rates in this still ridiculously low interest rate environment is infuriating. We savers have had to bail out these banks for their criminal activities last decade, and we are still being screwed with these pathetic rates so these banks can repair their balance sheets and now simply exploit us.

Having said that, I reapplied for the account yesterday, and I was ACCEPTED this time.

However, in order to fund the account I had to verify the 2 test ACH payments into my linked external account. I assume you readers know what I'm talking about.

This is where the next problem arose. I tried to verify the test ACH's and their system would NOT verify the deposits. So, I called their CS, waited on hold for 20 minutes, had them reset the system and still could NOT verify the deposits.

They told me that they could not reset the system again and I would have to mail them the check to open the account!

Their incompetence is mind boggling. VirtualBank is the online subsidiary of Iberia Bank, a $25 billion bank. Although that is not a huge bank by assets, it is still a mid-sized bank that should be able to handle a simple account opening. Tiny credit unions are more competent that these idiots.

I am fed up with this bank. Beware, fellow savers!
