Default Re: Does UFB Direct Bank give a bonus?

Hi Terry,
I'll know better when my 200 gets to its destination, but overall, and Firefox notwithstanding, it hasn't been that bad, if you don't object to making a couple of phone calls to find out what's what. And I have to blame the Firefox situation for my initial sign-up problems, for lack of proof otherwise. (Although the same type of questionnaire elsewhere worked just fine...hmmm.)

What makes me 'iffy' is that you can't link it to an account for internet transactions. Being a semi-geek, I do most things by computer, so this is an important feature for me. As long as this transfer from my bank to UFB works, then I'll call it good enough.

For lesser-geeks, they do have the free Deposit Mailing feature through Mailboxes, Etc., but be aware that it's done via UPS Ground and requires a form each time. The forms are printable from the website, as are deposit slips, if you're mailing funds in any way.

They say I'll get a free ATM card, and deposit slips in some sort of new account package, although I don't have any details yet.

I'll keep you posted (so to speak) when my funds get there. If you do decide to give it a go, don't use Firefox, or you'll get the same sloppy impression that I did.

It's a shame though, because Firefox has made my Internet experience so much better, I hate using IE for anything. (I've also built a small Linux box, so I can learn the ins and outs of a Linux OS. Trying to gradually move away from Bill. There's definitely a learning curve there, even for semi-geeks, but all the software is available for free!! Love it, so far.)
