Quote from SlickDanTheDealer :
First time hearing about banks?
They are all crooked but they didn't all start out with the initials "FIB" which really should have been a hint to potential investors before they became known as a more crooked than normal bank.

Quote from MaxwellJ :
In Beanie Babies? What stable investment do you see today that is much above 4.5% or so you get from a regular savings account today?
Stable investment? You're doing investing wrong if you think there is such a thing as a stable investment. You might as well just invest in known ponzi schemes at least the short term returns are good just don't stay in them too long.

All the 8% 12% interest calculations are good untill tax filing where they take another 30% on top of it which makes bonus to be reduced from 525$ to 367.5$ thats why i always prefer creditcard bonus where nobody touches that.

properties is probably the only stable investment. other than a successful business.
best investment is putting in work yourself. multiple side business.

I am getting 4.75% now with my online savings account.

With this I am making roughly $100 for years of Wells Fargo harassment plus the time to open and close the account and chase after this supposed bonus as the regular interest rate at Wells is embarrassingly low at .015%
what is th bank that you are getting 4.75 on savings account? I would like to open rather this

Like other people said, they limit how much money you can move between accounts. Chase doesn't do that. Neither does my credit union. I won't ever use them again for banking

But how do they want someone to deposit new 25k with limit of 5k?
Is it only by transferring from another bank with a fee? Lol, this would be another type of happiness to take my money out from that bank

Annoying it has to be done in a branch in person.

Hard get the money out!

Try to transfer 25.5xk to other bank from app, was told that the maximum is 5K.

Next day, try to transfer another 5K, was told that
The transfer amount exceeds your 30-day bank-to-bank
transfer limit. The maximum amount you can enter is $1000.00, ...

Now I know what the first few comments about hard to get the money out. I am not close to a branch.

Update:
There is a $6000 bank-to-bank transfer limit on Wells Fargo side PER MONTH. Once you hit the limit, you can't even transfer money in.

However, you can setup a bank-to-bank link from other bank and pull money from Wells Fargo account. This could take several days (>5).

It may be possible to download "Account Closing Letter" from Wells Fargo, complete the form and specify fund forward address, scan and submit the letter from online account.

My account was opened on 6/20 and funded on 6/29.
Anyone getting delayed on the bonus? or how long it took for the bonus to show up.
I called customer service and they said i had to go into a branch to check.
