This is an example of a bad bank. Their online process for purchasing a CD is horrible. You fill it out and it rejects it after all of your private information is disclosed. They there customer service is bottom of the barrel they contact you will an automated email unacceptable and 29 days late. That same day they took my information and rejected application. I opened a new CD with Forbright Bank the process was smooth and it took about 12 minutes. I would not recommend anyone to give out their information or try to process anything through northern bank, direct as their service is unacceptable and junk.

Northern Bank Direct Makes Its Savings Rate Disappear
Sep 2, 2019

There is a risk in opening an online savings account with a bank you've never heard of, even if you it is offering 2.50% APY.  You could just wake up one Labor Day morning and find that the offer and the account has entirely disappeared from that bank's website!

    Thanks FP, I have done some research and your correct.
    1. "If you initiate the electronic transfer from your other financial institution, Northern Bank Direct does not impose a limit on the amount of the transfer. However, you should check with your other financial institution to see what their limits are." 2. "There is no limit on the number of financial institutions located in the US that you may link to your Northern Bank Direct account" its all in the FAQ, the rate blows everyone away
