This demonstrates their quality of service.

unless you have a valid proof for this, don't blame firefox. i used firefox and there's no any problem.

Which page? I didn't apply but the link is apparently fine in my Firefox under Linux.

Surprised at how easy it was to open an account. Took no more than 5 minutes.

i hope it's okay that i ask.. but how many banks do you all bank with? (or how many banks do you have accounts opened with?) i'm trying to convince my husband that it's not bad to have several accounts opened. any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks for the quick response! any others want to share?? so far my husband and i have only three banks that we are currently banking with. he says that it is getting ridiculous as i am 'rate-chasing' (as you guys would put it). i don't see any harm.


btw, does anyone know about amboy's closing of accounts policy? is there any charge or certain timeframe? i couldn't find it on the page.

Does your husband still use Windows 3.1 ?

I found out the same thing. The page is short of detail information on this new program.

Should I get in or not? May be I will wait a few days before i get into this.
Those who have already done it, how is the experience? Never heard of this bank before!!
Any Information appreciated..

Very easy to open. Only problem is that your account can be linked to just one checking account. No ACH

IAmStingRay said:So, you can link one checking account to draw money from, can you also push money back to that checking account FREE using Amboy?

Also, any more feedback from those who took the plunge?
From the thread about the other account Amboy is offering (MM Maximizer), people have been reporting good experiences with this bank. The MMM has the same rule of only linking one checking account, and from personal experience, it's bidirectional: you can push money back to that checking account FREE using Amboy.

sorry, wrong, no pushing to other than checking account

FWgunn said:CornHusker said:It will hold like ING

Electronic deposits made to your account will begin to accrue interest 2 business days after the deposit is made and will be available for withdrawal after 5 business days. Every day is a business day, except Saturdays, Sundays and Federal Holidays.
Electronic transfers to your non Amboy checking will generally be at your bank within 2-3 business days.

Wow. 2-3 days is pretty long (almost as bad as HSBC Online Savings). Does anyone know if this is because they use a third party ACH transfer company like CashEDGE (like HSBC)?

A clear indicator of this would be if they require you to log in a second time to access the bank transfer section of their site.

No idea about what system they use (I'm still waiting for my < $1.00 deposits to appear to finish signing up), but I belive the wait could be circumvented by ACH pulling from another bank. I use USAA and they allow you to link any account and push and pull money as you please.
