And yeah, if you have more than $250k in an account, you might want to break that up and have a few accounts to keep your balances under that threshold…But I bet you already knew that if you have that much cash sitting around.

I am current using UFB, but I have used CIT Bank in the past. CIT Bank is part of First Citizens. First Citizens also acquired SVB assets, which now makes First Citizens assets jump to $219 billion.
Side note - Marcus blocked all of my attempts to transfer (ACH and wire) to UFB. They immediately locked my account and wanted me to be on the phone with them while they attempted to verify the account by calling UFB. I spent 10+ hours on the phone with Marcus trying to unlock my account and hold with them while UFB picked up. UFB never answered or Marcus failed to actually call them, resulting in Marcus locking my account and funds for over a week. My Marcus account was finally unlocked, but all ACH and wire transfers were then blocked for a few more days due to a "technical issue that had to be resolved on the backend". Even their phone agents could not initiate a transfer to a verified account (Capital One and Citi) due to the issue. After the issue was resolved, I had to transfer to Capital One, wait for the funds to become available there, and then wire to UFB. I blame the entire experience on Marcus trying to keep me as a customer and think their actions were contrary to our deposit agreement. I filed a CFPB complaint against Marcus and closed all of my Marcus accounts (savings, joint investment, and trust investment).

I just opened an account with Marcus last week and am testing them out with a small $5k account for a month or so. I'm going to the transfer a bunch of that out to my other account and make sure it goes smoothly before putting a much more significant amount into it.
I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly my money transferred into their account compared to other alternatives and they immediately made the new funds interest-earning. So far so good for me, but we'll see again in a month.

Once you click on add manually, you can just provide the routing number, account number etc. I just put in my Bank of America info and it worked.
No need to go through Yodlee at all!
They will do $1 deposit to your BoA right? How long it took for you to see those deposit? Thanks

I opened on this week on Monday and haven't heard anything back yet.

I recently opened accounts with a few different online banks but haven't really funded any of them yet and am now concerned due to their withdrawal limits. It shouldn't take months to get all of your money back from savings accounts.
