      Complaint Type:
      Customer Service Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      I opened a Laurel Road ******* **** ******** ********** account in June because I was told by the customer service representative that a balance transfer qualifies for a $500 cashback bonus that was being offered. The customer service agent opened the account and performed the balance transfer for me without noticing that it would not actually qualify for the cashback bonus. The transfer cost $300. Two months later I called to find out why I was not seeing the $500 bonus and was informed by a different agent that balance transfers do not qualify. I have made 3 phone calls with no response. Each time they say they are escalating it to a manager. Around this time I have also been blocked from entering my account, receiving an error message when I try to log in. I have received an email about that issue which says the problem is resolved (problem is not resolved). The minimum acceptable resolution is a refund of the $300 cost of transferring my ****** **** balance to Laurel Road.

      My account was suspended and closed without notification. I opened an account about 7 months ago because of a bonus offer promotion for a checking account. They rewarded $20 per month as long as you have a $2500 monthly direct deposit. The way they avoided paying the reward every month was by shifting the direct deposit date. For example, January pay would be deposited on 1 Jan, and February pay would be deposited on 30 Jan. They do this so they can avoid paying the bonus for February. This is a business practice that shows a lack of integrity with this institution. I also opened a saving account because they were offering 5% APY. I never had an issue with the savings account. When i attempted to login online to view my account balance before payday, i received an error message saying "my account is suspected pending investigation". When i called to inquire, no one would give me a reason. I was only told to call back in 10 days for an update. Keep in mind that I had an active $2500 direct deposit going to the checking account that i couldn't confirm. After 10 days, I called for a status update. I was told that my account was pending closure and I would receive an explanation in the mail along with a check for the amount of my balances. Since i don't have account access anymore, i can't confirm my account balances or access previous banking statements for accounting/taxes purposes. I recommend against using this bank as a primary banking institution. The $20 per month (sometimes) and 5% APY isn't worth the headache for me personally.
