Contact Porte Support

Long story short, their app produces a direct deposit enrollment form with their old routing number on it. THEY WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY AND GET YOUR MONEY TRANSFERRED TO THEIR NEW ROUTING NUMBER. That’s too reasonable & logical of a thing to do. They said they changed to a new routing number after April 17th, 2021. I didn’t open my account with Porte well after April 17th, 2021. However the direct deposit enrollment form on their app is still producing a downloaded form with their pre-April 17th routing number on it. Subsequently, my money was sent to the (old) routing number & account on the form. My money was deposited into their subsidiary, Metabank. These Porte people can’t even contact Metabank to correct the problem and get my funds transferred to their new routing number. This is a nightmare. It is May 8th, 2021 and they haven’t even updated the app to keep it from producing the direct deposit enrollment form with their old routing number they stop using April 17th, 2021. This is negligence.

Effective January 1 of next year, Porte is changing their requirements to meet the 3% APY on their savings account: to qualify, one must receive both $3,000 in direct deposits total in a quarter, and also use their debit card 15 times in a quarter. I can meet the deposit requirement just fine (and in fact have already done so ever since I opened my account), but I also strongly prefer to use credit cards for all my purchases due to cash back/rewards. I wonder whether they consulted their user base first before deciding to implement these changes? The relative ease of maintaining a high yield savings account was a huge draw in my decision to use Porte and I was actually really enjoying my experience, as well as how responsive and genuinely helpful their reps were. Now it just feels like a bait-and-switch tactic.

Tons of bugs during the sign up process. And it caused you unable to login to your account and they let you call their number. And the number ask you for your phone number associated with the account. But at this step you have got any chance to put in any phone number or SSN into your account. After lots of failures it transfer you to an agent and they don’t know how to fix and then they put you on hold. Then the most wired part comes. While you on hold the system jumps back to the voice menu on itself and you have to repeat everything again, including explain the whole freaking situation once again. In the end the solution is to wait for an hour and sign up with the same email address again and see if the system has fixed on its own???
