I have a CD in E LOAN which is owned by Banco Popular, however with only a 2 star E Loan bank rating, I am growing concerned they might fail and thus take me long time to receive a refund from the F.D.I.C. Maybe it is time for me to head for safer waters (a 4 or 5 star rated bank) until this banking crisis is past, even if the interest rates offered by them is lower than E Loan’s. What do you think?

I opened this checking account and fulfilled all of the conditions of the promotion. I received the $25 for surrendering old bank materials; the $50 for direct deposit; but not the $50 for performing my electronic bill pay transactions. I have written a letter to the bank, and I have spoken with a bank rep on the phone about my last $50. I was promised an investigation and a callback, but this has not occurred. I may need to call again or visit the branch in person a few times before I can claim my $50 as promised.

I find that Banco Popular has difficulty honoring this promotion completely.

This offer is only for NJ and NY customers. I went into my CA branch today and I was denied.

BTW,
I just wanted to mention that although many of you may not have heard of Banco Popular before, they’re actually the owners of banking giant ELOAN.
