              George H

              01/18/2024

              Opened a CD on their website. Clicked on the button/link that stated "9 Month CD - 5.60% APY". Went through the entire application process, providing all of my personal information, uploading an image of my driver's license, and authorizing the transfer of the funding amount from my checking account via PLAID. The next day I received an email from Mr. Charles S****, VP Online Branch Manager, stating that their rate just dropped: "9 month cd the rate is now 5.320 and the APY or annual percentage yield is 5.45". I replied to therefore cancel the application and that I would think I'd be locked in to the rate at the time I applied for the CD and what was stated on the button/link I selected on their official website at that time. I immediately called my checking account bank and instructed them to block any transactions from Forbright Bank and removed the PLAID link on that account. However, I still felt very uneasy that Forbright Bank now had all of my personal information and the authorization to transfer the funds from my checking account. This entire process was a total waste of my time! P.S. Should be ZERO stars for what I went through, but had to select 1.

              Thank you for sharing your experience with us, George. As with many banks, our CD rate is subject to change and confirmed once the application is completed. We apologize for your experience applying on what sounds like the day our rate changed. We will certainly pass along your feedback to the appropriate members of our team and hope to improve the experience going forward. Should have any additional concerns, please reach out to us by emailing ********************************* or by calling ************. We’re more than happy to help!
