The website is constantly down. I'll move all my accounts to a less recognized name with a better rate as that gives me fewer surprises like this.

updated review - The bank managed to finally provide the requested document listing the beneficiary after a number of calls. So will add a few stars. The website still needs some work to be more descriptive of the transfer information. It is pretty useless as all it has is generic info with no bank information listed under the source of the transfer. Pretty mediocre for a bank listed as having over 160 billion in assets.

I'm only comfortable with banks whose names I recognize and among those 4 or 5 I have found Citizens consistently has the best rate in 2022. Also outstanding service. I will stick with this one over anything else on this site.

I had high hopes that this account would work out. No problems with opening and funding it with 5K deposit. However trying to get to a printable beneficiary document attached to the online account is a real hassle. They say 2 to3 days to do this which is a bogus claim. I figured why keep even 5K in this bank if they cannot fulfill this basic task? So I submitted a transfer out leaving only one dollar in the account. On the plus side, this bank has a very quick ACH transfer out as the 5K showed up in the external account the next day. The plan was to keep 250K in this account to earn some interest. However, if they fail on the beneficiary document will just end up closing it. Not going to deal with this crap and will leave the money in Marcus and make less interest but at least there is a beneficiary showing on the account. Because I think the ease of managing the beneficiary is the most important criteria they deserve no stars. However, with the ACH transfer speed they still get a 1/2 a star.

It is a recognized name with a reliable brand that I knew before ever looking for an online bank. + great rates + great service = no reason to look anywhere else. It does not disappont.
