After some research, I found that most of the complaints that they have on this bank are from people that they happen to have denied account because of some sort of reason, which I understand them being upset, but usually it's something that they did that got their account denied. Or it's somebody who's something ridiculous, like they changed their phone number, while the security will not allow them to check in or log into their account with a new phone number till they've contacted the bank and made sure that the bank is aware of the new phone number. Stupid problems. We've opened two accounts. Everything seems to have gone very well. We like the bank.

I’ve been with forbright for years and I love this bank. Great interest rate and customer service is excellent anytime I’ve had to engage them

I opened a Growth Savings account on 6/23 and I was approved on the same day. On 6/23 I also set up a transfer and it completed on 6/24. On 6/25 I received an email confirming that I have complete access and I am getting the 4.1% interest rate till 12/26. Seamless. Thank you

Easy peasy to open savings and CD accounts and have been very happy with my interest rates - grateful to the "big banks" ridiculous rates for forcing my hand into looking elsewhere.

I’ve been a customer for almost 2 years and have had 0 issues. Customer service was very pleasant the one time I needed to ask a question. I recommended them to family members who are also satisfied.

I’ve had accounts with for Forbright with CDs and savings for over a year now. The process to add CDs and Growth Savings account was pretty simple. I’ve read all the negative reviews and they are wrong. Forbright will help you through the process if it confuses you. Today, I had to transfer funds in a larger amount than their limit they set. I called and spoke with Michael Mann today and he was so helpful filling out some forms for a larger transfer amount and it was pretty easy. I ended up calling three times but only because I am a lot more dense than most people and I guess I was just nervous. Anyway, Mr. Mann was extremely patient each time and continued my perception of excellent service from this bank.

Forbright Bank Growth Savings is the perfect savings account. Interest rate is among the highest of any of the online or other banks, the bank actively promotes environmental causes which we strongly believe in. They even gave us an annual pass to national parks for maintaining a balance in our account. Their app works great and provide some motivating charts to encourage you to save more. Transfers in and out of your account to your checking or other account are easy and seamless. Our checking account is with Capital One and we have no problem moving funds in and out of our Forbright Bank growth savings account. We highly recommend Forbright Bank.

After being denied to a HYSA at a local bank ( Evergreen Bank Group, 5.25 APY), I wanted to test another bank to see if I will get denied. After 10 minutes after getting the denied email from Evergreen Bank Group, I have applied and gotten approved thru Forbright Bank, 5.30 APY on August 9, 2024. Both banks had identical questions, same requirements to meet when completing the application. I have no overdraft, credit score at 3 credit bureau are over 820, no credit freeze, no security freeze, pay bills on time,no loan, $0 balance on 2 credit cards and overpayment on 1 credit card, etc. Loving Forbright Bank. For me it take 4 days out of 5 days for my money to be transfer between my bank regular saving account to Forbright Bank HYSA. Both financial institution go thru security of the money being transfer is from a real person, real account and not a fraud thus the reason it take up to 5 days for ACH transfer. Calling Customer Service and speaking to Suki, Cat and Rhea are awesome. These ladies provided answer to my questions and more. The ladies have provided me an update with a date when the money will be available to my Forbright Bank account. Forbright Bank is a win. I am very happy with my Growth Savings Account that I have applied and have been approved for a second Growth Savings account as Forbright Bank does not have buckets yet. After calling customer service and speaking to Rhea, I was informed Forbright Bank will be looking into having buckets within the Growth Savings account in the future Other features that I love with Forbright HYSA Growth Saving account is you can add more than one external account to the Growth Saving Account. You can have up to 5 Growth Savings account. Since I now have two Growth Savings Account, I have three external account from two different banks to transfer money in and out. There is no fees, no minimum amount to open the account but an amount is required to be transfer within 21 days after opening the account before the account get close with no deposit. Forbright Bank have automatic deposit. The website is easy to navigate as well as the mobile app and you can see all approved Growth Saving account on one page. You can edit the Growth Saving names, for example one account is Growth Savings - Bills, another account is Growth Savings - Emergency Funds. In the end everything happens for a reason. I am a happy customer of Forbright Bank that focus on sustainability coming from a licensed architect, LEED BD+C. I am not an employee. I am a happy customer. I will be applying for my third HYSA with Forbright Bank.
