If the account is closed within 6 months from the account opening date, the bonus may be forfeited or deducted at closing.


Sounds great!

They collected all my information. SSN, employer, DL, Etc. They sent me a 6-digit security code to my phone, which I correct entered into their website. After entering the correct 2FA code, it asked for it *again*, and an email came through rejecting my checking account application without explanation. Bizarre. Never turned away from an account in my life. Oh well. There goes my personal information into another database.

Chinese Lunar New Year.

In China...

Number 3 is associated with living
Number 8 is associated wealth

A grouping of 3 items is considered extremely lucky.

So, 388 means live wealthy x2 with luck.

Worked for a medsurg company that had a Chinese director of r&d. Our 888 camera was an incredible seller. He named it that, so found out what all the numbers meant in China.

Never heard of this bank. Are they trustworthy?
They're a Korean bank.. my mom used them for years for everything until I took over her finances. They're fine but they primarily cater to the Korean-American clientele.

I applied on 1/30 and received the deny email. I replied with photos of my DL and asked for the reason of denial. They finally replied today 2/5 with the following email:

Thank you for your interest to open a new account with Bank of Hope. The following are some reason(s) why we were unable to approve your request at this time. Our decision was based in whole or in part of information obtained from your background assessments.

Too many new account inquiries.
Too few sources corroborating with your provided information.
ChexSystems assessment (only applicable for a checking account).

Sounds like prostituting myself would be easier way to make money than this. Big Grin

No, I didn't. My info is probably already everywhere after all those data breaches.

Did the $25 pull from your external account show up on your Bank of Hope account yet?
Yes it did, the $25 pull reflected today. Took about 3 biz days

I just called them and they said this offer is branch only, so even if you signed up online I would not expect the bonus payout

I expect they canceled you!

What's most insane is I get 0 responses out of emailing my DL and the application line got shut off as it's certainly not a holiday and bounces me all day long.
