Customer Experience

Overall Rating: 4.4 / 5 (Excellent)

The Capital One 360 CD accounts are an alternative to savings accounts, in which customers can deposit any amount of money into their CD account and receive higher interest. Customers can choose their own term lengths, ranging from 6 months to 5 years. Accounts are FDIC-insured and each term has its own APY rate. The company as a whole has a less than average financial rating from Moody's but an excellent rating from the Better Business Bureau. Online complaints are average in comparison with other banks, and most of Capital One customer complaints regard financial disbursement and customer support issues, not the CD accounts directly. Overall, Capital One's CD accounts help customers save money over a longer period of time and make additional money in the process, as opposed to simply using a savings account.

Long term happy customer of Capital One. Decided to try CD - 11 months 5%. Opened 2 CDs at the same day under the same conditions. One CD was processed correctly, the other places as 12 month, 4.015%?! Money transfered, 4 business days later - not visible online. On the phone (outsourced call center) for 1.2hrs already. No response.

I filled out an application for a Capital One CD on November 29, 2022. They never sent a confirmation of my sending in my application. Finally yesterday, about,three wweeks later, I went to the Captal One site. There was the CD acxcount, unfunded. They had never transferred the money from my funding financial institution. So, I called Capital One. i was told i could just cancel the CD, but I had to do so by by 4pm yesterday, When I called back at 2:30pm, I was told that information was incorrect. I could not cancel until this morning. When I called this morning, I was told that information was incorrect. It was not possible to cancel until January 6, 2023. What do you think?
