Excellent and Fast Service
2013-05-23 by Onine Shopper from Charlotte, NC
I have been wanting to create an account just for online activity but dreaded the idea of sitting in the waiting area of my bank so I logged on here and it was easier than I thought. The whole thing did not take 10 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised.

Best Bank on Earth
2013-05-20 by firefly9000 from Salt Lake City, Utah
I love Ally Bank. It has proven to be a completely pleasant experience dealing with them. I especially like the fact that they are available 24 hours a day. You won't go wrong working with this organization.

Impossible to get money into account for Withdraw
2013-05-17 by Jay NC from Raleigh, NC
They dazzle you with no fees, but heres the problem: how do you get money into your account? Sure they will take your money and "Post it" but it wont be available for withdraw until two to nine business days later. We live in a fast paced world two weeks can make or break the average person and the way they decide the length of the hold is completely arbitrary, For this reason and poor customer service I will be taking my business elsewhere after this failed experiment.

Opening my second account
2013-05-17 by bubbles from Kansas City, Mo
I have a money market account with Ally and have been very impressed with the speed of transfers, availibility of customer service and the ease of having all this at home. I recently had my third "bad business" encounter with the bank I have had Ally checking and had only one thought - "WHY DID I TAKE SO LONG TO MAKE THE SWITCH?" I will recommend Ally to anyone. Banking headaches are over! I love ALLY

In Ally's Interest only
2013-05-16 by Joez from Dallas, TX
Every phone call to Ally takes hours. The small % of interest that is offered does not out weight the aggravation caused by every aspect of doing business with them. Whether it is bill pay, making a deposit, or holding checks until the second coming, they refer to the "Deposit Agreement" you get when an account is opened. All this leads nowhere other than a huge waste of time. The only advantage is Ally Bank is employing people in America to answer the phone.
