Website Excellent and Easy to Navigate!

Website easy to navigate and I did have to make a telephone call and the lady that assisted me gave the answer that I needed to hear.

I see that my investment is running well as I requested online.

New Account Failing

Applied March 20. Emailed notification on March 24 that funds to open $50K acct. were received. Processing payment would take 1-3 business days. Followed by an email to activate account. It is Monday March 30. Email not received. Attempt to access portal has failed. Phone contact says this is not a problem normally encountered. Flagging IT engineering dept. Awaiting response. Very problematic. Not acceptable.

Determined finally after a week that IT platform not compatible with customer's Apple iOS out-of-date. Told it would not be a problem prior to application. Contract finally reviewed this day April 6 using MsDOS PC computer at the library. Support is sending 36-page contract not accessible via portal using my iPhone and not printable at the library by an overnight courier for my records. Support subsequently contacted for instructions to cancel contract within 30-days of acceptance. Very helpful. Seamless. Procesing request to transfer back to my checking account may take up to seven more business days. Added to the first four to process payment after being rec'd March 20. A considerable amount of interest accrued daily not being credited to initial $50K balance of the customer. Very disappointing.

I lost 3 weeks of interest

Gainbridge held my money ( and collected interest on it) for 2 weeks due to NO FAULT of my own. They said they received a notice from the social security office that I was deceased. That is a LIE! I contacted the social security office and they said they do not send letters like that! It took me 3 weeks total to get my money back! They should have paid me my interest!

Gainbridge is doing great.

Gainbridge is doing great for me... I only wish I could have gotten in a little sooner, when rates were better. I used to play the market but, at my age I wanted something solid and steady...
