In short, interest rates are pretty good. Cash deposits have to be done via Walmart which limits you to $1000 a day. So if you get a big chunk of cash it's a pain. Beware if you travel outside of the US. Previously I had no issues getting some cash out of my bank account with a Visa debit in Costa Rica. No dice with Discover. Thank God I had some friends with a Visa debit that fronted me some cash when we were there.

These Discover Bank and Discover credit card people are unscrupulous and lack business and personal integrity. Consumer Beware! I had an unfortunate situation with Discover, I got nowhere talking to Discover’s bots. I consulted the Elliott Report “Company Contacts,” and I contacted the very people that Elliott Report identified as Company Contacts at Discover. Actually, I contacted them, several times by email and US Mail, and I got nowhere, not even the courtesy of a response, never mind, action, or RESOLUTION. I cannot say enough bad things about Discover, and Discover’s leadership, other than I believe they are unscupulous, and lack business and personal integrity.

Your money is not yours with transaction limit set by bank and no option to have it increased.

One bank that I patronize, made and $25,000 ACH transfer into my Discover bank account. It took over 7 DAYS to release my money to me. Did it take 7 days for the ACH deposit to clear? I do not think so. I do not appreciate Discover bank holding MY MONEY for the absurd period of 7 days. The only thing that was even more infuriating than the above, was the attitude of the alleged human who answered the phone at their service desk. You know, getting a human at the service desk is not the only issue; the person has to act like a person also.

I am in the service industry and I am shocked by the lack of service at Discovery Bank, I opened an account 5 years ago, deposited R5000 online, when I was asked to collect my card at Melyn Main branch, I went to the ATM to see if my R5000 investment made any interest- to my surprise, they deducted R400 so I withdrew my money (all of it) went back into the bank and gave my card back and instructed them to close my account. To my shock and horror I went into my profile and I OWE THEM R17000 - I have contacted the customer service numerous times and none of their promises to return my calls and reverse their obvious mistake have been met. I have other investments at DB and will move EVERYTHING back to Sygnia Very disappointed Mrs Elmaré Bond

Tooling around on Trustpilot, I saw all the negative reviews for Discover Bank. I've been banking with Discover for about 10 years. Absolutely, hands down, the best customer service. They're all US-based, speak very good English and understand the norms and customs of American society. Some things are just hard to explain to a guy in the Philippines. I had a fraud issue, my fault, back in 2019. They jumped through hoops to stop it, change all my account numbers and make me whole. I'm a little concerned about the Capital One buyout, we'll see. I like Discover Bank

Everything when it comes to Discover Bank is difficult. They make it difficult to transfer money into your high yield savings account. The customer service is awful despite advertising the #1 customer service. Upon realizing this, I immediately transferred the cash deposits I did have to another bank. Good riddance.

Watch out for Discovery. They are the same group as discovery health and are now into Banking. They are a South African based company. They offer you to open an account but then never give you a Bank card. Wait for it, then they continue to charge you for zero services. They are like scammers. My personal experience, is I opened an account with them, and never received a card. They will still continue to charge you even if you don't have a card or don't use their service. The public should be made aware of Discovery Banking Services and taking public hard earned money. Global Financial Services Regulatory should take this Company to task, and remove their licence to operate in the Banking sector. South Africa has become a breeding ground for criminal activity, and for this reason money is pouring out the country. Public be aware before getting into bed with the Devil.
