Remind me never to deal with these skunks again:
– After 2 weeks of waiting for a reply to my secure message asking to close the account, I tried chatting;
– Chat rep gave me the option of visiting a branch or sending them a letter by snail mail with a copy of my D/L;
– The day after I mailed my letter, they finally replied to my secure message, saying the account would be closed in 24-48 hours. So I wasted a stamp and my time. Morons.

No bonus yet. Application was approved before the 1/31 deadline (they pulled Chex TWICE for some reason), but due to snafus (their fault) funding took a few days and account shows as opened 2/6/23. I’ve sent an inquiry today. made 2 regular DDs $500+ in Feb and Mar…but we’ll see.

Hoping to avoid CFPB complaint…

Update: no answer from email, did online chat yesterday, they forwarded to online accounts dep’t which said my DDs didn’t qualify (they are regular payroll DDs from my employer). I attached the two paystubs to a reply and today they are crediting me with the $250 bonus. (First time ANY bank gave me ANY problem with my true payroll DDs!).

Has anyone successfully zeroed out and closed the account? I messaged them August 3 asking to close the account, still waiting for a reply.

Late DP, thought I already posted it; used real DDs:

01/11/2023 Opened/Funded account 100.00
02/15/2023 [Employer]/Payroll 500.00
03/01/2023 [Employer]/Payroll 500.00
03/15/2023 [Employer]/Payroll 500.00
06/29/2023 OC250 Promotional Deposit 250.00

Looking in their bonus fine print for a timeline on future bonuses

Closed my account today. Attempted to do it all via chat, but they wanted to talk to me to confirm info. Pretty painless.

Thanks for this info. Did you zero it out first?

Jeff G Did you zero out the account before you talked with them? I tried to zero it out with an external transfer, and it sat there spinning until I finally gave up.

Eureka! Bonus posted late yesterday, after they called to ask for proof that my DDs were from a government pension. Skunks.

I called them 3 times and today got a phone call from them to show them my paystub to prove I qualified for the bonus. At least they’re trying….(and another good reminder that you should always try to use real DDs as much as possible)

I’d sent them a message inquiring, today they called me. Same thing, they wanted my paystub. They didn’t like that it said “State of ID” as the source. I don’t know why, they should be able to tell if it’s a direct deposit, and that is the name of my employer. I sent them the paystub, they said they’ll send it soon.

I got the same phone call 7/5/23 requesting pay stubs. I emailed my pay stubs to their banking rep who verified that he received them He said he will forward my information for review.

I just received mine the other day. I did not reach out – happy to see they paid out without me getting on them about it.

I searched and could not find anything, so I am going with no ETF. Many banks are 6 months or 1 year. I think many of us are over 6 months, I am going to cancel soon after I withdraw all of my money.
