Bank experience
WebBank is an industry bank with limited offerings for consumers. Savers who want to stash money in a bank, leave it alone and earn decent yields might find WebBank a good choice. However, it doesn’t offer a mobile app; banking is done using a secure web browser. The bank also doesn’t offer ATM access; it has no owned-and-operated ATMs, and it’s not a part of a network such as Allpoint or MoneyPass. Customer service hours by phone are limited to weekdays. Customers can also write to customer service from the bank’s website.
