I recently opened a Capital One 360 account, and it was extremely easy. The amount of time it takes for deposits to post to your account is kinda long. I deposited a check from my credit union savings that I plan to close into the Capital One 360, and it took nearly a week to post. Going forward, I will only be making deposits via direct deposit, so it isn’t a concern for me.

@yaupon88797, I’ve been amazed at this long processing time too! I opened the Money account for my teenager and have transferred money to her that’s taken almost a week to get to her. This last time, at that point, she didn’t even need the money anymore.

@sevenfold349, it’s concerning but I sorta get it. They definitely want to ensure the funds will go through, but does it really take a week? With Huntington, I can access the money almost immediately.

Glad I'm not the only one feeling this way with Capital one.

I just opened an account Ally. I really really like that they have buckets so you can separate the account into categories but still get interest based on the entire balance.
