Customer Reviews for American Express Bank, FSB.


  • November 8, 2023 |

    I see nothing exciting about AmEx Bank. Sign on is a hassle and the rates are adequate. Multiple accounts are not summarized. To cancel maturing CDs require phoning in or snail mail. Above average service does not equate to added dividends. Being an AmEx member today is not the honor it was in the 1980’s or 90’s. Better bank brands with higher dividends are recommended.
