Do not open an account with this bank. Just like larger banking institutions they rip-off consumers. I just lost my Merrick Bank card due to no fault of my own. As I had an emergency in a community car garage as I was going to a new job interview. I happened to have the said card on my lap when I proceeded to go into an underground parking facility my skiing equipment got stuck and I couldn’t proceed to park. The parking attendant began yelling at me, thus, I had to get out to solve the problem. Well, to no surprise the card must have fell from my lap on to the ground. I just reported my card lost and they charge me 15 dollars. Why? Is there a need to charge when this is something out one’s control under my circumstances. Unwise, reckless, un-human, not consumer friendly bank! No wonder their business formula is not working out for them. This is my first complaint on the web, but, I’m going to make sure that no one falls for the trappings of this bank.
KEEP ON SPREADING THE WORD REGARDING MERRICK BANK, IT’S BAD POLICIES AND LACK OF BUSINESS SENSE. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE AS WELL.
