I recently opened a bank account with East West Bank in Oakland California about two weeks ago.
Then I enrolled their online banking through their bank website. After I filled out all the information, the system has message indicated that it will take two business days. It made me think twice, how is the world in the 2009 that a bank still does not have automatically instant online banking account open system. (Wells Fargo, HSBC, even the banks in China all had it a few years back.)
Well, I waited for two business days, there is no email communication how’s online banking system is opened and work. I turned to their website find the 1-888-895-5650, and call the customer service center, the customer rep., a lady answer my call, asked how can she help me, so I said that I opened a account, and enrolled their online banking. I was expecting the communication for the matter from the bank on the third business day. The lady replay the waiting days now is 4 business days!!! I was not happy with the answer and replied back said the system said is it 2 business days, how can your system not changed the message if it is 4 business days! Then I heard a very noisy, high volume beeps from the other side that was hurting my ear, then she put the phone on the desk, not answer my questions, and 10 seconds later, she hanged up the phone on me!!! What kind of customer service is that!! I have never had such customer service in my whole life when deal with any service business, not even in China now days!!!
I was tried to find the other phone # that I can contact their management, but there is none.
