Lost In The Wilderness

by Aahz , Feb 11 '01
Pros: Everything LOOKS good
Cons: I've been unable to get an account open
This epinion turned out to be more personal revelation than bank review and I considered not posting it for this reason. However, I have decided to let it stand so that others can be aware of the possible pitfalls in their path to opening an account...

A good, yet flawed, effort

by bioguy , Oct 28 '01
Pros: Competitive dividends and fees. Small staff provides friendly customer service.
Cons: Slow, painful start-up process. Horrible web page.
**UPDATE: G&L Bank has officially gone out of business as of March 2002.**

As the first niche bank specifically for gay and lesbians, G&L Bank is not a bad first try. However, it's not spectacular either.

Compared to other...

G&L bank is not as good as it seems at first site

by sagareva , Aug 06 '00
Pros: good idea and good cause
Cons: wrong people in charge of a good idea
I heard a lot of good things about G&L bank.

However, in my painful experience this is a gathering of mostly straight people, who use the good and popular "diversity" cause to cover up a poor operation with a very poor customer...

A great bank that you should consider

by tnorman , Jun 09 '00
Pros: Good account offers, super customer service
Cons: Need more customer service hours
I opened up an account with G&L Internet Bank several months ago. I was looking for reasonably-priced business accounts that I could access online, and G&L provided what I need! I opened up an account with them, and I have been happy with their...

Mortgage

by misodiva , Sep 28 '01
Pros: Welcoming the Gay and lesbian community.
Cons: Sometimes seems disorganized
After shopping extensively for a mortgage and facing discrimination from some other larger institutions I went with G&L Bank. I was told at another bank that they could not discuss my partner's financial situation with me. The representative stated...

Best kid-friendly accounts on the web, plus a 5% rate

by kazulanth , Oct 17 '00
Pros: Great for a simple savings account
Cons: Not great for a primary checking account
It is quite difficult to find a bank account for someone under 18 due to all the legal haranguings. My local bank, Dollar Bank in Pittsburgh, did give me an account at 14 but I obviously never could come up with the $1000 or so to earn a 2.5% interest...

Their banking IS for any lifestyle

by divafish , Oct 26 '00
Pros: Very friendly, excellent interest rates
Cons: Only one brick-and-mortar location, bad for those who bank paycheck-to-paycheck
I am a very fortunate G&L Bank customer who actually lives in Pensacola, Florida. I have had the opportunity to see their outstanding customer service personally. After I set up my account, I was given a tour of the bank and introduced to all of the...

The Bank of the Future

by Business_Bob , Jul 22 '01
Pros: This Bank doesn't discriminate in any forum
Cons: the only CON is your not looking at this bank as a possible option
I recently applied for an account with G&L, because of an outstanding article printed in the Advocate and because of the hassles of local banking institutions here in the southern california region. After going to there site and clicking through all the...

A 'REAL' Internet Bank

by cdlund , Apr 16 '00
Pros: Super nice staff, great rates
Cons: Need to increase live customer support to 24 hours 7 days
This bank not only offers great services that other institutions might shy away from for the Gay & Lesbian community, they do it with style. The only Internet bank I have seen with pictures of the whole staff on the web with mini bios. You CAN get...

A+

by chxrecovery , Jul 14 '00
Pros: customer service, easy banking access 24 hours a day!
Cons: website failure on occasion
If you are interested in an account with an online bank, I highly suggest G&L Internet Bank. In the past I had trouble with another bank which gave a flaw on my ChexSystems report. I have had trouble obtaining a new account ever since. The other...

A Bank for All People

by minkuo67 , Jul 28 '00
Pros: easy application process, fast response, thorough review
Cons: out-of-state institution (for me)
Although I am not GLBT, I still endorse G&L Bank as a great bank to approach if you have any sort of blemish on your Chex Systems report. After receiving an initial hold on my application due to G&L's Chex check, I replied with an e-mail...

This is a great bank

by ms_pandora , Aug 08 '00
Pros: Great customer service
Cons: fees
I, being a straight female used G and L bank. I feel that this bank does serve both the hetero and same sex community equally. The way that they do this is just by having good customer service period. This is one bank that offers all the amenities of...

They gave me not 1 account, but 5 when no one else would.

by djdynasty , Jun 07 '00
Pros: Money Transfers Fast, Nice Friendly Staff, Always Calls back.
Cons: Can't deposit money without mailing it in, or doing an ACH from a brick & mortar account locally to the G&L bank.
Yes, That's true... I couldn't get a Checking account with ANYONE, And I mean Anyone. I've had TCF Bank for a couple years (I'm only 19) And had bounced a nearly $350 worth of checks with them, and paid them off as soon as possable, and went to re-open...
