The Bad
- Mixed reviews
- Security in services
- Online depositing
Mixed Reviews
There have been mixed reviews from customers online. In general customers that belonged to ING were pleased with the service and most of those customer are now pleased with Capital One 360 but there are a few who are not. One noteworthy aspect of the positive reviews by customers online are the reviews about customer service.Security in Services
Securities and services are also a concerns for both prospective and current Capital One 360 users. While accounts are backed by federal insurance, not all Capital One 360 amenities are. It is important for users to know that securities and services are:- Not FDIC Insured
- Not bank guaranteed
- May lose value
- Not a deposit
- Not insured by any Federal Government Agency
Online Depositing
For those who prefer old school depositing over mobile uploads, this account probably wouldn't be the way to go. Although, paper checks can still be snail-mailed to the bank's headquarters for manual deposit, but that would result in a long, long wait time. Other than that, this online bank doesn't really lack for anything.The Bottom Line
- High interest rates on checking and savings accounts
- Bonuses and features associated with investment accounts
- Online and mobile banking available
- Concerns over securities and services

I've dealt with a few banks and I have to say they get a 10 out of 10 hands down. First they offer true overdraft protection up to $100 which they charge at a 2.7% annual rate. That means no getting dinged some crazy $30 charge for going $.10 in the negative. Also means that you can be overdrawn a couple bucks and get charged litterally pennies in interest. Second, their customer support is hands down top notch. As someone who works in a call center you can get a feel for how hard they are working on your issue, I can say with certainty that the representative was 100% focused on me and my reason for calling as I was only put on hold for 30 seconds when he had to go to the printer. Other than that their wasn't a moment he put me on mute. I was so blown away that I even spoke to his supervisor just to compliment him. Other reps I have spoke to were also really good so you can tell they take care of their employees, which says alot about how they will treat you.
