Long-term increases in deposits shows a bank's ability to raise funds to grow its loans and assets. Loan and asset growth may rise or fall depending on a bank's strategy for growth.

Sallie Mae is going to absolutely be the right bank for you if you enjoy calling during normal business hours and speaking with a automated voice response system that gives you no information and refuses to pass you to a human.

I've been with Sallie since 2013. I've had as much as $210,000 in their MM. They have always floated your deposit/withdrawals to their advantage (late deposits to the SM account, but early withdrawals from SM but several days before transfers show up to the nonSM account.) Recently though, the dividend rates have nose dived without notice (from 2.25% (Jan) down to 1.35% today). So much so, that even this site can't keep track of the current untimely rate change. Makes you wonder if they are going under too. The website is a mess. Recent changes makes it difficult for you to find your transaction history. Whoever deisigned it should have consulted a user/layman before deploying the new design. I am steadily moving funds out, so do your due diligence before jumping on board. As is, this is not the account to open. Five thumbs down

Competitive rate, poor transfer time to and from account, and the worst online access screen. Difficult to find your history transactions. However, Sallie Mae clutters the initial screen with fund transfer screens that never displays incoming or outgoing transactions.

I've been an account holder since 2011. The original website was ok, but it worked. The current one does not. Now they have gone from immediate external transfers to five days. I will wrap this up when my CDs mature.
