I have had savings accounts and CD's with them since they were GMAC. No problems whatsoever.

I've had three accounts (one joint with husband and two joint with adult children) and a savings account with them for close to ten years. I've never had a problem. One negative... Their debit card charges a fee for overseas usage, over and above the currency exchange rate. Even American Express has stopped doing this. So I don't use their debit card outside of the US.

Been using them for a very long time for MM and CDs. No complaints. Good service. Rates are very competitive. On CDs they give a CD renewal bump.

Sorry, but even if the complaints were only about the cleanliness of the restrooms it would put me off.
When negatives outway positives, whatever the cause, I will look elsewhere.

Many posters are more than happy with their service, so maybe/probably I am wrong. I would still pass though. JMO.

Actually I’ve never heard of them. The thing I would be concerned with would be will they protect me if any of my accounts got compromised & how they protect you. Personally I would do my banking at a bank that’s been around & nationally known. I use CHASE & so far in 15 yrs. they’ve done a great job! Sorry I can’t tell you anything about ALLY Banks!

Nearly two years with Ally and am 100% satisfied. Saving's rate was 2%, now Annual Percentage Yield is 1.70%. Occasionally, their system would be down when I tried depositing a paper check using their iPhone app. No bother, simply tried again in a few hours. I needed a few more checks, Ally sent them promptly.

I haven't had to order checks in over a year, so my information may not be current, but their checks have always been free.


Ally has been around for some time. We had a car loan through them in 2005. That's what led to my opening the joint bank accounts with my kids. Our main bank is Schwab, but my husband and I also have a joint account with ally that we have SS checks deposited into and pay bills from. So three checking accounts and a savings account, and no problems in the last 8 years.

Thanks for the input. I have opened an account.

I have had no problems with Ally. You might also consider online CIT Bank. It is not CITI Bank.
