DON’T sign up with this company, they are the WORST, they lie about no fees,as you will see once you sign up. Terrible customer service and the best part is they don’t care. They held my deposits for a month while they were “checking” on it,16 thousand dollars. Now i want to cancel because every month its another fee, even though i had switched to their cash discount program. So now the big jerk around is on, draqging out the cancellation so they can add more fees, they just charged me a yearly $95.00 fee on their no fee program.This company is a joke, don’t believe the good reviews ,they are phony!YOU WILL BE SORRY IF YOU SIGN UP !THEY ARE TOTAL LIARS! READ THE OTHER BAD REVIEWS ON HERE AND YOU WILL GET A REAL GLIMPSE OF THIS COMPANY<THEY WILL STICK IT TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT AND NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!
