    Be aware, when cd comes due, they mail a check to your home which takes 7-10 business days. That is a long time to have money not drawing any interest.

    Be a good idea if they state ONLY IN BOSTON AREA first before ppl sign up only to be rejected.

    The excess withdrawal fee is an important one to be aware of. It's not the only fee that EBSB Direct can charge, however.

    You’ll also pay additional fees for wire transfers and statement copies.

    This bank should not be classified as an online bank by BestCash Cow. Come on!

    I entered all of my information after which they indicated they do not open accounts in my state. Incompetence.

    Had to enter all of my information to learn that they didnt open up accounts in my state. Why cant that be the first question they ask?

    This has been a solid account from a bank that feels like dealing with my neighborhood bank even though I live on the other side of the country. However, I am disappointed that they have not raised their rates as rates have gone up. It is no longer competitive.

    Helpful people, great rates, super-quick transfers, etc. The high minimums are the only thing to keep you away.

    I think it is really lousy that they dropped their rates. Had good experiences but now I need to move my money again.

    Really nice and helpful people but only available during normal biz hours.

  • Oct 29, 2016 |

    The rate is good. The people are helpful. Glad they opened it up to all states now.

  • Oct 11, 2016 |

    Nice people and all that, but I really don't know what my rate is and every time that it goes up, it doesn't seem to apply to me.

  • Aug 1, 2016 |

    People very nice and the service on the phone was very friendly. I live on the West Coast and have never been to Boston, but I feel like I am banking with my neighbors with these guys.

    What is "new money"? If I had an account with EBSB years ago, am I new money? Is this rate guaranteed for some period?

  • May 24, 2016

    EBSB is honest and fair and the service is good, but I too am troubled by the "New Money only". At what point is money no longer new and what rate is it earning then?

  • May 2, 2016

    I didn't like promotional offers being extended to new account holders all the time. Reminded me of the Ally commercials. I can go to NEverBank for that!
