Bad experience with a savings account promotional offer they talked me into. Met all the requirements but there was a small detail in the fine print that EverBand held their hat on and didn't honor the offer. The auto deposit requirement came from an annuity not an employer. So irritating...pulled my accounts and learned my lesson.

TIAA has offered some of the higher CD rates which is what I seek. One of my CDs matured over the weekend and they walked me through the transfer process. They added a couple of days accrued interest to the balance due to the weekend maturity and everything went smoothly. Their representatives have always been professional and thoroughly answer any questions. I hope to do more business with them soon.

As good as my experiences have been with TIAA, my initial exposure to TIAA BANK has me worried. They did offer a better IRA CD rate so i took a chance. Website is WEAK as when one looks up account status/activity, etc. BUT - my MAIN COMPLAINT IS - when i needed to speak to Customer Service 2x, they DEMANDED i tell them my "security code" VERBALLY and i had other people in the room, use this code elsewhere AND CANNOT BELIEVE IT CANNOT BE INPUTTED ON THE PHONE OR OTHER METHOD as every i bank i work with has as procedure.
