Checking account Account opening, closing, or management
Santander Bank US Bank account or service department,
Checking account Account opening, closing, or management Massachusetts
Santander Bank began to offer an account called extra20 Checking in - -. Santander Bank heavily advertised this product as " not a promotion '' and made implicit and explicit guarantees that if you opened an account, you would have it forever. I was one of many people who chose to switch to Santander because of these promises - it is not an easy task to switch bank accounts, but the bonus made it worth the switch, despite being an otherwise inferior bank. In - -, Santander decided that they were no longer going to offer this product, which is completely in their right. In - -, Santander decided to move every existing customer out of their extra20 Checking product and into a different product that does not pay the monthly bonus that they had guaranteed. I believe that what Santander did was bait-and-switch at best and criminally deceptive at worst. As an example of this, I was able to locate one of their advertisements stating how much you would earn in 5 years with this account - this would be impossible considering the longest that anyone could have stayed in the account is less than 3 years.
