Merrick Bank Reviews

Merrick Bank app is excellent. Very easy to understand and use to make online payments. Also whenever I needed to call customer service, the representative was very helpful and knowledgeable. I am very pleased with the interaction I have had with the mobile app and customer service representatives.

I am very satisfied with Merrick Bank and the service they provide me. They value their customers and reciprocate my responsible handling of the account they have availed to me. Thank you very much for the financial flexibility you have given me.

I have nothing but good things to say. They done everything they said they would concerning my account. They increase my credit right when they said they would provided I made my payments on time. Would definitely recommend this card.

I have had an amazing, awesome, outstanding experience with Merrick Bank. I would highly recommend them to all of my friends and family. They are always there when you need them. Thank you Merrick Bank, for accepting me as one of your customers. Please don't leave me. Again Thank You Merrick Bank!!

If you do your part and make your payments on time, this company seems to be fair and other than having a high APR, this has been a pretty decent card to carry. I had the double your credit line offer and my line was doubled as the offer indicated because I followed the guidelines. I was hesitant after seeing some people complain that they did not get their line doubled as offered, but I can only imagine it is because there was something they missed in the requirements because I have had no issue. The only negative really is the high-interest rate.

I love that I decided to get a Merrick credit card, they offered me a second chance at rebuilding my credit and so far I am deeply satisfied. Their rates are reasonable and it helps promote wise spending. Definitely would recommend.

I’m trying to build my credit. I’m happy I’m approved for only $600 CL. The first time I used it I got declined. And I was in a cab with no cash. So I ended up my friend paying for the cab. SMH!! So I called the bank and they just need to verify my transactions because apparently it caused fraudulent activity. So I got that resolved, the agent told me, "You are good to go”. But before I hailed a cab I tried the card first at a parking meter to check if it was really good. Card declined. SMH. And it was raining. Then called the agent, while slowly walking home in the rain, then she again said it was good.

Back in November I was notified that my credit score had dropped significantly, I am in the process of building a home to be finalized soon, I contacted Merrick and they said it was their mistake and sent me a letter. Today I received the same call from my bank (1 week away from closing) Merrick reported that I was late in March paying a $4 service charge and it dropped my score 50 points. I called to ask and they told me too bad. Really? Now because of $4 I may not be able to provide my kids with a home. I have auto payment set up so how can I be late?

I received a very curt letter from Merrick Bank today stating that they were closing my account just because I hadn't used my credit card in a year. My limit was immediately lowered to $300 and it would be closed in thirty days, regardless of whether or not I used the card, and the account would not be reopened. I've had the card for a few years, I used it previously when necessary, and paid off my balance with no late payments or penalties. The letter even stated that it was based ONLY on the fact that I hadn't used it.

I had a Merrick Bank Master Card for 2 years. I rarely used the card and decided to close the account because of the annual service charges. I closed the account in January 2018 and had no balance or payments due. 3 months later they put on my credit report that I was delinquent in my payments and took a 60 point hit on my credit score. Now I have to go through a bunch of hassles to get it corrected. Their customer service was useless and had no explanation for the delinquent reports. I will never do business with Merrick again. Capital One is a much better company with no annual fees and great customer service.

I have never had anything but positive experiences with Merrick credit card services. I have had my had for almost a year and they have been a dream to work with. I am sure I will rebuild great credit after my bankruptcy in no time. Thanks to Merrick Bank!

I was disappointed in seeing that my credit line looked to be increased on the website. I went to make a purchase & it was declined. I spoke to an agent that was completely professional, friendly and helpful. The online information was incorrect & the embarrassment it caused me was significant but the agent smoothed things out.

I have truly enjoyed the relationship I have with Merrick Bank. The policies were clearly explained and access to additional information is readily available. There's no "hidden" language which makes this an even better choice for financial services.

I have nothing but high marks for Merrick Bank. For me, they have been a good company to work with. However, I do think it's mostly on my part... I make my payments on time, and usually pay more than the minimum. In response, Merrick Bank has indicated their trust in me by raising my limit, which has helped my credit rating. I've had no customer service issues with Merrick Bank. Overall, I rate them highly.

Huge late fee for five days past due. Never been late prior. Was a complete mistake on getting days mixed up. Every other card I have has a 7-10 day grace period. So I paid off the whole $650 balance and have no intention of using the card again. I understand it’s my fault by not complying with your particular policy. Also, my choice to no longer engage my finances with your absurd policies though.

If Merrick Bank was a person instead of a company, I can say that I would like to be their neighbor. They seem to be concern with their consumers and so prompt in fulfilling their promises. Prompt in responding to consumer concerns.

I have had no problems. I appreciate the opportunity Merrick Bank has given me to improve my credit score. I would recommend this bank to anyone. The people having problems having learned the importance of paying back what they spend. This is a good bank. Customer service is very polite.

The people are very professional, good manners, very helpful and knowledgeable with all the offers your company give. The employees understand your needs and they try their best to make sure you understand.

It's a credit card account! No complaints! I'm not being hit with massive interest charges after ALWAYS making payments far & beyond the minimum required so no complaints. Now if Capital One worked this way I wouldn't be back in debt so deeply!

Merrick Bank has very easy to use online account. I love that they send me alerts and they stay in touch with customers through their online site. This is a card I definitely want to keep! Thank you Merrick for being there!

My experience with Merrick Bank has been top notch from the first interaction, to their customer service, to standing fast to their promises, to the credit line increase that literally made my day! Thank you Merrick Bank. I am quite impressed, quite pleased and would recommend this product (Credit Card) and Merrick Bank.

I tried Merrick Bank in an effort to better my credit as it had been damaged when I lost a home to foreclosure back in 2010 during the recession period. It was difficult to get any type of credit and Merrick Bank offered me a small line of credit to help me rebuild my credit score. Part of their plan was to increase my line of credit after six months of on-time payments. I made sure my payments were made on time and right about the sixth month they increased my line of credit without me having to ask for a review. A couple of competitors also offered the same but failed to review my performance. When I called to ask, they said they didn't do that and I could request a line increase with a fee. I was very disappointed by this and really praise Merrick Bank for their commitment to honesty, transparency, and for doing exactly what they said they'd do. Keep up the great work!

April 12, 2018 called customer service and found out I had a block on my account. I went through several different questions and they said based on my answers I needed to give them 3 things by fax. I complied and according to them after 3 attempts to find out if my information that was requested was received and the runaround from it takes 24-48 hours to it takes a while. My account is still blocked. I'm just going to pay out my account and no longer deal with the credit card.

Since they changed their new look I had to go change my password because I couldn't remember it and I followed their guide in doing it and it was very simple. This time I wrote everything down so in case they change again I will be prepared. Thank you for making it so easy.

A bit of confusion when first opened, but has been a pleasant experience since. Great customer service agents, willing to aid in any way possible, and easy to navigate website. Overall, very happy as a customer and have recommended.

I opened this card almost 2 years ago. They started my account with a paltry $600.00 CL. After almost 2 years, I have never missed a payment and I normally adhere to the 0-30% card utilization max rule across all of my accounts. They increased my CL to $1200.00 after a year approx. Since then, nothing. Since I use my credit wisely, do the math. I can safely use $360.00 on this card. I opened an American Express Blue Cash card a year ago and got an $11,300.00 CL which has already been increased to $17,300.00. This card and this bank is a joke. I'll keep it open for account age only, and maybe a fill up at the gas station every once in a while, but otherwise, it only takes up space in my wallet with no real use. Thanks Merrick.

I have been on the phone 3 times with them to allow a charge from a hotel chain in another country to run my card. I've also authorized it via email for the charge to be allowed. The card has been "reset" twice... whatever that means, and I'm told it should go through. Each time (all 4, now), the card still gets declined. Then they have the audacity to tell me to not use strong language while on the call - here's an idea, DO YOUR ** JOB AND I WON'T HAVE TO... They complete morons and can't think past the end of their own noses to realize how frustrating it is for a CUSTOMER not to be able to use their card not to mention the countless hours spent on the phone with them and the hotel chain trying to figure out why it isn't working - and you wonder why I'm cussing???? **, SINCERELY. The good news is I have $83.00 to pay off my current balance and I will canceling this card and never using them again.

My Merrick Bank Card is my favorite credit card and the only one I really use for large purchases. I haven't had any inconveniences with it and my online account has been easy to navigate and make payments on. The only issue I've run into has been not being able to figure out how to add a family member onto my account or if that is even possible. Everything else had been great.

I pay my bills by mailing checks 9 to 10 days before they're due, and 99% of them arrive and clear my Bank within 5 to 6 days. These crooks at Merrick Bank seem to sit on their incoming mail for a few days before they even post your payment, and how convenient for them that in more than one occasion they have posted my payment the day after the due date, after which they hit me with a $27.00 late fee. And when you call them, they refuse to refund the late and tell you to next time mail your payment 12 days before the due date. Gee I'm sorry but it doesn't take 10 days for a letter to travel from SC to wherever the hell they are, and since I have zero tolerance when it comes to dealing with thieves, scammers, and crooks, this is one account that I will soon be closing. This is the one and only credit card company that I have this problem with.

I have held a Merrick credit card for over 15 years. Always in good standing. However, I seldom use the card. The reason being is a simple issue I once addressed with their customer service department turned into a nightmare and went unresolved. I login to the account monthly to ensure no fraud on the account. Today I found it was not able to be accessed and it advised to immediately call their CSD. I spoke with several different ladies (I was hung up on multiple times. I suppose the issue was too complicated for these reps), and finally spoke with Shamira (SIC?), what a joy, as she sang da-da-da-, placed me on hold, then fiddled about and finally said she couldn't help (though this was the number I was advised to immediately call, and that a department that could help refused to take the call but I could try back in 48 hours and they might take the call then.)

I received a mail offer from Merrick Bank for a credit card. Said that I was pre-approved!! I got it in the mail yesterday!! There is NO way that my credit rating changed from the time that they sent it to me. Seemed like a good offer and would give me a chance to replace a card that I wanted to pay off and get rid of. So I got online and applied. Now I know that it says that I could be denied BUT here is my problem with that. There is now a hard credit inquiry on my credit report!!! They should not send out these offers if they are not going to honor them!!! It's not fair to the consumer!! If I made a mistake and entered something incorrectly or didn't check all the boxes then I should be able to go back and fix those mistakes. So they don't need to send me any more offers!! Don't waste my time!!! Just remember when you accept one of these offers it affects your credit score!! Thanks Merrick for nothing!!!

After many years of a good experience with Merrick Bank I paid off my card. Never late, good customer and without warning sends me a letter that my account closed for non usage in a year with no balance. In the past year I had an accident and did not work and helped a family member in hospice. I cannot believe this bank's attitude that they will not reopen it. After all the bank made from me from being a good customer without any issues ever. I contacted customer service and spoke with a supervisor Tom. He told me they do not reopen nor advise in advance that there would be action for non usage. I have other bank's cards and if you forget for whatever reason they will advise their customer rather than dump them. This will no doubt affect my credit score and I will say to you to stay away from this bank. Seek other options. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU OR THE BUSINESS YOU GIVEN THEM!!!

Got a letter in the mail, "Please apply. We will help fix your credit" which really isn’t that bad. Denied in one second. Thanks so much for lowering my credit by applying for your card. Stop sending me things in the mail. You really don’t help people. It will take me months to fix the damage done to my credit score by trusting your false advertising.

I have had this credit card for a few years, and I reserve it for emergency use. I haven't needed to use it in a while. I received notification from Credit Karma that my account was closed, so I called customer service to ask why I didn't receive notice that this action would be taken. I was told that notice was sent and returned as undeliverable. I have lived at the same address the entire time I had this card. They will not reopen my account because "we don't do that." Even when I told them that I needed to use the card for a medical procedure, they wouldn't do anything, and told me I should have updated my address if I wanted to receive notifications from them. I want to know what address they had (the customer service rep wouldn't tell me).

Got credit card things worked fine. Limit was doubled as promised in amount of time promised. All payments made on time, no over limit. Then after a year by December 2017 credit card account not reported to credit bureaus. Called and got no help at all. This affected my very good credit score. When I do have to do and dispute about charges to credit card. They are ignored 100%. Told not responsible for charges but I pay them off because Merrick Bank does one things only cancel my credit card and send a new one. It takes time and during that time I can’t use my credit card. Useless to call and try to fix any issues with Merrick Bank. Charged annual fee that is way too much and can’t stand. They wait until last day of statement to charge it. Never shows up as charge to pay off.

Merrick Bank received a Power of Attorney from National Debt Relief. As a result they blocked my card use. I have paid the card down considerably and did not authorize NDR to contact Merrick Bank. I have placed seven phone calls trying to resolve this issue. The Card Services Department that handles this type of issue is only open for 2 hours, between 3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. (ET). I have called this department three times and have been on hold for the duration of 2 hours, only to hear an automated message stating, "We are closed. Please call back during normal business hours between 3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. - Monday - Friday." Here is the direct number, 877-487-5598. I also sent a letter asking to reinstate my charging privileges.

I did electronic bill pay to add more money to my account because I was renting a car and I didn't want any problems getting the rental. I currently have a credit on my account for $78 that I was told couldn't be credited to my card until the $200 hold that Hertz placed on my card was released... The supervisor told me to call back once the hold was released. One day after the hold was released I call back to Merrick Bank and speak with a supervisor to get MY $78 placed on MY account so I wouldn't have to mail a payment out. The supervisor tells me they would have to mail me a check that I SHOULD receive in 7-10 business days. I explained to her that, "The check you're mailing me will only be sent back to you as payment, why can't you just keep it and deposit it into my account..." She said they can't. :-( What an unbelievable experience. DON'T WASTE CUSTOMER'S TIME... JUST STOP IT!!!

Merrick Bank has been very fair to me and has helped me to rebuild my credit. Of all the Credit Cards for those of us with less-than-perfect credit, Merrick by far has the best rates and fairest fees. Also, no hidden fees and a very user-friendly app. I would definitely recommend Merrick Bank.

Merrick was a great starter 1st credit card. I now have 5 cards all of whom promised to increase credit lines after 6 months of on time payments, to date Merrick is the only one who kept to that promise.

I got a Merrick card and all was going well. I had a bunch of returned payments based on some timing and helping a relative in need. Please note these returned payments were re-deposited and paid. That is the critical point. Any fees associated I paid and they were not returned unpaid. My account was never late and I was not over my limit. I went online to make a payment and saw the account had been closed. When I called, I was told that I was sent to Collections because of the returned payments. I reiterated the re-deposited paid payments and that the account was not late ever. I requested an investigation. I did not receive any reply and called back and was told that the status remained the same. This was reported to the Credit Bureaus as Written Off - Bad Debt. That is completely not true. I called back and asked for an escalation and filed disputes with the credit agencies.

Merrick Bank had been a great credit card company for me and my husband to help us rebuild our credit. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a starter credit card. We currently have been using ours for 2 years now.

The experience with Merrick Bank has been a pleasant one. Online service is excellent. They kept their promise on my credit balance increase. The statement is easy to read and understand. I will recommend Merrick to my friends and family.

On more than one occasion, it has taken too long to process my payments (made by telephone) after I have a received a confirmation number verifying that the payment was made. The last time it happened I paid the statement invoice amount due about 10 days EARLY(before the due date) and the payment still was not processed by the time my due date came around. I had to physically go to the bank, put the money in a different checking account at a different bank and make the payment again.

Merrick Bank has to be the most wonderful credit experience I think I've ever had! They have been very good to me better than the people I've had accts w/ for yrs! I intend to be just as good a customer to them! I consider myself lucky to have a card through Merrick Bank. I know I can always count on them! Thank you for taking a chance on me Merrick Bank!!!

I have enjoyed the Merrick Bank credit card. The bank added the credit increase when they said they would and their Rep is always nice and courteous. I would highly recommend this credit card to my family and friends.

My experience with the credit card services of Merrick Bank have been great. Having never missed a payment I have been able to get generous limit increase with no difficulty. The app is easy to use to pay my bill. No complaints.

I’ve had a good experience with Merrick thus far. The Android app works well, and I can check my account from anywhere. The notifications are helpful, and I would recommend Merrick to anyone looking for a convenient, hassle-free experience.

Nothing bad to report. I'm able to access my account online with no problem, never had a problem using my card, and after paying on time for several months they increased the credit limit automatically just as they had said they would. Very fair and I would recommend them to others.

Becoming disabled without warning my income temporarily dropped and medical bills rose. Merrick offered me the help I needed to hold on until my income returned. I was able to keep my house and not have to sell anything. Other banks even local turned me away. Merrick Bank trusted in me and gave me the line of credit I needed to hold on. Not out of the woods yet but the end is in sight and by this summer my wife and I will be back on our feet. Thank you.

I have never had any issues. I have never had to call and talk to anyone. I have always paid on time and try not to go over my limit. I enjoy having this card and am very happy. I would be more than happy to post that anywhere.

My experience with Merrick Bank has been wonderful. I have never been a customer where the employee really give it all he/she has to make sure that you are satisfied with their services. Love Merrick Bank.

They were there for me at a time when I needed them most. They gave me credit and as promised they doubled my limit when they said they would. Their website is easy to use and I've never had any issues making payments to them. I would recommend them to anyone who has gone thru a hardship and is trying to turn things back around again.

Merrick trusted me after I worked my way thru Lung Cancer and my Credit took a beating because of my huge Doctor Bills. I will always be Loyal to them for giving me a chance again. I've never been late on a payment and never will be!! Thanks to them my credit score is on the upswing!!

This creditor showed me compassion and consideration during a trying time. That touched my heart. None of my other creditors did what they did. I am forever grateful. I will be sure to always keep them at the top of my list. Thank you, Merrick Bank.

I love the fact that Merrick motivates you to keep your payment on time by offering a increase after the 7th month, great incentive. Although my husband didn't get his increase, due to a glitch Merrick Bank had. But We accepted it and are still loyal customers. When it comes to customer service it's lacking training of great customer service because you could have a lot more business if it went a little smoother. We talked to about 10 reps before we could get any answers. We don't even call anymore. We feel like it's just hopeless to get anything done on the phone. We just pay our bill so that we can maintain our credit.

My experience with Merrick Bank credit card has been outstanding. Having a card that can cover car rental expense or a simple three night hotel stay (average room rate about $175.00 per night) is so wonderful. I pay the bill on time and in a few months they will double my credit limit... I love this concept, it drives you to make that extra effort to get your payments in on time... WAY TO GO MERRICK BANK!!! Now teach the other credit card companies how to do it.

I have been a customer with Merrick Bank for one year now. I sent them 2 payments in February 2018 for a total of $255.00 dollars. (1 money order for $50.00) and (1 for $205.00). To date my account has only been credited for $50.00! This is insane! I believe they have someone on the inside stealing from customers. Or, they intentionally do not credit your account because of the high interest they charge! On March 10, 2018, l sent them another payment this time for $90.00 dollars. Today, it is March 17, 2018 and still no credit to my account. I am asking that ConsumerAffairs look into the financial dealings (audit) Merrick Bank for scrupulous financial and misleading accounting practices. There is something seriously wrong at Merrick Bank.

I've had a credit card with Merrick since 2012 with a credit limit of $1000. For the first two years, I always paid on time and over the amount of the payment due. I NEVER got a credit limit increase. Between the end of 2014 and 15, I was late a few times because of personal situations. Well I got back on track the end of 15 till now. I've never missed a payment nor been late in over 3 years, still have not received an increase!!!! I spoke with a rep today that looked in my file and said I qualified for an increase back in 2012 but not sure why it wasn't applied and she couldn't see why I haven't received any in the past couple years.

I got charged for 2 items in 3/17 for 179.48 and disputed the item and then when I got a bill I had a minimum due on the bill. When I spoke to someone there which I found out later WAS NOT Merrick Bank but a 3rd party they told me I did not have to worry about the minimum because it was under dispute. Then I got 2 more charge 4/28/17 for 188.38 and the same thing happened. It was under dispute and then something happened. I was told I did not have to worry about minimum charges because it was under dispute. Then I got a credit for all the charge one in April of 17 and the other in June of 17.

I’ve used Merrick for a long time. Got a letter saying, “You haven’t used your account in a year. This account is closed and will not be reopened.” I called and the lady says this account is closed and will not be reopened. I will never give them my business again. I have credit cards unused in 8 or 9 years without being closed, shame on you Merrick. See ya!!!

With my low FICO score I’ve been denied cc from everywhere. Found through Google search. Applied within a minute approved for $500. Now my credit limit is $2000 within a year and CS is 689. Thank you Merrick Bank.

Absolutely no flexibility on the high interest rate. Have had this card 4 years and made on time and higher than requested payments. Now that I want to pay it off and requested a lower interest rate, the customer service rep rudely told me there was absolutely no chance of a lower rate. I think I heard the sarcasm through the phone as she explained the rate was set when the account was opened. And at 26% interest, it's almost criminal. Have since closed the account and transferred balance to a card with much lower interest and better customer service.

I got a Merrick Bank VISA offer in the mail. I went online to their site and applied for the credit card. As soon as I input the acceptance certified number I kept getting an error message saying the certificate number did not match. I input the number many times before giving up. I come to the conclusion that this might be a scam to get consumers information. I believe it is a scam because the very number they sent to me did not match. This is not right and I want others to know about this experience.

I have been a customer of Merrick Bank since 2012 . Never late with payments. In November, 2017 one of my other credit cards was hack into First Saving. The hackers got into my checking accounts and changed my address to Miami, FLA. Our money was not available. This was a mess. My husband and I live on his social security. For December payment I stop recurring payments because of this. I made my payment 5 days after due date. The csr waived late fee and said, "Don't worry. It all good." The next month MB proceeded to take 92.00 out of my account instead of the 39.00 which was never mentioned to me when I called the bank to let them know what was going on. I did not plan for this amount and I keep exact amount in my checking account because of being hack into. That checking account is now closed because of the hackers.

I'm in the middle to repairing my credit and was only getting offers for secured cards, or $300 limit cards. Merrick just offered $750 which I consider pretty good for my credit score. It comes with an offer to double that limit to $1,500 after 7 months. I don't carry any balances on my cards - pay off the entire balance when the bill comes due, so this will be a very welcomed $1,500 credit card in 7 months. Not bad. The goal obviously is to get my score up farther where I can cancel cards like this that have annual fees, but I'm not there quite yet.

I mailed a check to them and my other creditors 18 days ago. All other creditors have received their check, posted the payment and my check has cleared. Merrick is the only bank who hasn't. Mind you, I'm paying the entire balance. My payment is due today. I'm not certain what their problem might be but clearly there is one. They have doubled my credit limit twice so I do pay on time.

I just spoke with one of their representatives and inquired about the free FICO score check they offer. Do not do it as it is considered a Hard Hit on your credit reporting. This is NOT disclosed and I would consider it a breach of some sort as the consumer is not aware of this hit before it is done. There is no clear literature offered before the consumer hits enter.

Pissed off Customer who was literally lied to about a pre-approved letter after log in to site to apply for the Pre-approved Visa Card that Merrick Bank Sent Me. I was Denied, Totally ** Because I’m Driven a Brand New Car that I Bought a Year ago & I've made every payment on time, I've got 5 Credit Cards that are all Platinum Cards, I've got a Visa Gold Card with a Unlimited Limit, My Credit Score is 650+, Just Purchased & Built a Brand New $300,000 Dollar Home & You Guys Still Denied me one of Your ** Credit Cards. I will Take my Business elsewhere & I hope you lose Customers over this Review Because you guys have one Highly Pissed Customer.

After having been a customer of Merrick Bank with platinum Visa card, I was just informed that my account was closed due to inactivity and would not be reopened. No communication was received warning of my imminent account closure, just a letter stating that it was closed! This is what almost 7 years of good standing and on time payments (NOT a single late payment) will get you. A call to customer service gave me the same information. All they could do for me is file a complaint, but the account could not be reopened. I was not even offered an opportunity to open a new account. Great customer retention! I am truly disappointed in Merrick Bank.

Merrick Bank is incredible. Their customer service is always helpful. When I was in need of help because of Hurricane Irma, Merrick Bank was the only credit card company who immediately and without question helped me out on deferring my payments with no penalties. THANK YOU MERRICK BANK!

I am really happy and excited about the app. I have all of my information available as soon as I need it without having to get to a computer. Being able to pay through the app is also helpful. I appreciate Merrick Bank allowing me to establish and build my credit profile and I look forward to continuing to be a satisfied customer.

First customer service representative I spoke with never processed the request to mail me a new card. She did process the name change, but I never received a new card. Second customer service representative I spoke with apologized and sent me a new card with expedited shipping. Interest rates too high, no cashback or other rewards offered. I've already applied for and received a Capital One Quicksilver card offering 1.5% cashback. If Merrick Bank doesn't keep up with other major banks offering rewards, by the end of 2018 I'll be canceling my card in favor of the Capital One Quicksilver card.

Merrick Bank is great! I am really glad to have this credit card as it helps out a lot and is easy use the features. The limit of the card is sufficient now that I have had it for sometime paying my dues. Customer service is excellent as I can pay my balance/minimum by phone or online!

I've been with Merrick Bank for a little under a year now, I've never had any problems with them. The app runs smoothly, the site is easy to navigate, and any questions I have are answered in a timely manner.

I have been with Wells Fargo for 26 years. I branched out to Merrick Bank for an extra credit card when fraud charges began appearing on my credit cards at WF. I have had three occasions to speak to Merrick reps and all I can say is that the company hires "Wonderful human beings!" As far as the website... Amazingly simple to use! As far as the service from Merrick... It is tops! If there was a Merrick Bank near my home, I'd transfer my money and open accounts at it, because I've only had absolutely positive experiences.

Only complaint is that my billing due comes out before my actual statement is available. Very happy with line being doubling for on-time payments! Payments are easy to do as well. I like having to confirm my ID everytime as well.

They told me "make your payments on time for 6 months and we will double your limit". It happened without me making a call. A couple days after my 6th payment the increase was there. They would get 7 stars if possible. If you do what they ask they will do what they say.

I received a preapproved statement in the mail today. My credit isn't perfect but i have nothing negative new in several years. I just paid off a 5 year car loan and I have 5 other major credit cards. I decided to go ahead with this preapproval just to open up my debt to credit ratio. I was denied credit with this company. What exactly does preapproval mean if you're not actually preapproved? It's just a scam to get you to apply for their card with no preapproval criteria met on their end. Just took a hit on a credit inquiry for nothing. You would think with charging the high interest rate and yearly fee, they would accept someone with 97% credit pay rate that I have on my report.

They offered me a credit card when I was in the rebuilding process. I have not had any bad experiences. They have been good to me. As long as I pay on time and keep my card in good standing they increase my credit limit. Thanks!

Merrick Bank gave me a card when the other banks wouldn't. For that I'm grateful. It really helped my credit score. They doubled my limit just like they promised and even bumped it up a couple more times. But now I have cards without annual fees and way cheaper interest. They don't offer cards without the annual fees and they never lower the interest. This is a rebuilder card and it is what it will always be. So, I just make a small purchase occasionally, pay it off, and put it back up. To help with the credit utilization.

Merrick Bank provides a safe way to extend credit services to me as a customer. They are fair and watchful of usage in unfamiliar locations by verification process which I respect, and a reminder to me to pre-inform of travel use to avoid decline.

The online app is poorly designed at best. I check the remember me box, and it usually does not remember my userid so I have to enter it again. It would be nice if you could see statements or at least a summary through the app. Sometimes I need to login online (I.e., through my computer because I cannot see what I need to see through the app on my phone and iPad). I would like to see the balance as of my last statement, not just the current balance and minimum payment. I want to see what I need to pay without incurring finance charges. I cannot see this in the app.

My experiences have been fine. Only reason for contacting the bank was to get my due date changed. Whereas they were very compliant their process was different and a bit confusing compared to some of the other banks. And on a personal note, their CSRs could loosen up a bit and be a bit more friendly! Joking ??? Was not their top note??? Otherwise I would recommend them!

I had a question about my credit card balance and was helped by one of the best customer service reps I have ever had in my life. She was very friendly and helpful. Hope you are able to look her name up and give her a raise and keep her. BTW she spoke perfect English which is important to me, especially these days, plus I was a customer rep myself once. Great doing business with you.

I found Merrick to be a great bank to have a credit card through. They are prompt with adverse issues, and doubled my credit line after showing good faith without my asking. I have a card with another bank, and do not get this same courtesy. Thank you for your service.

I have been recovering from my wife's death and a foreclosure; Merrick Bank has given me the extra financial flexibility that I've needed raising 2 kids. I was expecting my credit line to increase when they said it would... and it did. Things are getting better for us... in part thanks to Merrick Bank.

I would recommend Merrick Bank, My experience has been positive. Opened account in May of this year with a client of $550. Within 6 month limit went to $1100 which was great. It help boost my credit score, so I look forward to sticking around, and I encourage my friends to apply as well.

Merrick's outstanding means to be accurate & fair means the most to me. Also the fact that they're trustworthy and dependable. If they say that you're due for a credit line increase they honor that date. Impressive!!!

I have decided to write a Review on Behalf of my Credit Card with Merrick Bank. I apply for a credit card with Merrick Bank last year on August 2016. I thought I will be denied due to my credit score. I was very surprise that this Bank gave me a credit card with $500.00 and I had an increase in 6 month of $500. I pay my card before my due date which is the 21st of each month. I have never had any problems with accessing their website. They have everything up to date on my account. Their fees are reasonable and my credit score has been going up.

I have been very impressed with the Merrick Bank credit card. Their customer service is always stellar and the way that they calculate fees, etc is fair and keeps their customers in mind. I would highly recommend this company to my friends.

I have been with Merrick for about 8 months and one of the reasons I signed up is because of the double your credit line. Well after 7 statements and on time payments as promise. My credit line was double. In addition they process payments fast.

The first time I used this card to make a purchase and the credit card company fails to notify me of my payment date or send a bill. However, the company was very good about sending me a late payment reminder. Very poor performance! I will be paying off my balance and closing this account.

I’ve had my account for about 8 months. I have no complaints!! Merrick said, "Pay on time, establish a reliable, consistent payment record, and we’ll reward you." I did, and they did. Be an adult, be responsible, and you’ll be treated accordingly. I have no problems with how Merrick has dealt with me, and you shouldn’t either.

I have nothing bad to say about Merrick bank. They have treated me better than I ever been treated by this type of industry. I would recommend them to everyone that is looking for a great experience. I almost have an unnatural affection for them.

My account was opened two-three years ago with a $400 credit limit. After aggressive use and payments, in only a few months, Merrick increased the credit limit to $700 and then $1,400 after only a few more months had elapsed. Since then, I've been granted three more $200 increases on regular intervals and the limit is $2,000 today. Great. On the other hand, this account is the single and only revolving account I maintain - considering more than 15 relationships where my payment in full within the new cycle failed to qualify me for interest-free standing.

The best feature of my Merrick credit card was the credit limit doubled after I made a certain number of payments on time. I liked that very much. And I like being able to pay my bill with my phone. It's just very easy and valuable features I like to have in credit cards.

It is easy to get to my account and view the statements. I wish it was easier to see transactions as I don't have Office on my laptop. I really appreciate the fact that my payments post very quickly and that my available credit is increased right away. I am going to quit using a Capital 1 card because it takes over a week for my payments to post.

Merrick was the card I was able to rebuilt my credit with. They reviewed my account 2 times ahead and gave me $500 credit line increases each time. I have built my credit line with them as high as any of my major credit cards now. They do exactly as they promise and review your account every 6 months without you even having to ask for an increase. I wish they had more credit cards.

I agree like so many others I send my payments in 2 weeks before they're due and Merrick Bank has taken over 20 day past the due date to cash my checks. Then they charge the fee's and they say you're late and we didn't get your check on time. I have went to the post office and took a date and time stamp photo of myself mailing their payment. Well 15 day's over the due date they again cash the check and charged the fees. I told them that I have copies of the date on my checks and they match the date I mailed them and the photos. They just keep saying you were late getting the payment to us. IT'S TIME FOR EVERYONE TO STAND UP AGAINST THIS PRACTICE AND SEEK LEGAL HELP! If someone know an attorney who would like to represent us in a class action suit. Post it so we can all sign up.

From the very beginning Merrick Bank continued to ask me for information I'd already sent. When I finally got the loan, they wouldn't let me pay over the phone without a routing number and bank number. Sure, a company reserves the right not to take Visa Debit or Credit, but it is not in the best interests of their customers AT ALL. It jeopardizes the security of people info and leaves us vulnerable to identity theft. In addition, they charge people $10 for every phone payment they make and STILL refuse Visa Debit. So I decided to mail my payment. Which was never received and I was harassed by their people calling consistently to get a payment then told that their processing dept was behind. Not my problem but evidently they felt it appropriate to make it mine.

I must say - I am impressed and very pleased. My score was about 620 (give or take a few) when I received an invitation in the mail from Merrick Bank. I went online and was approved for $700, as the letter stated. I used it sparingly, and paid each balance down before the due date. In 7 months, the Credit Limit doubled on its own - no action required on my point. I knew about the increase when I received a credit alert from Credit Karma in my email.

Initially everything is going to seem wonderful. Decent amount on the card... Increase after a few months of paying on time... and then the rip off starts. You will continue to make your payments on time but Merrick Bank will post the payments late and charge outrageous late fees... and that is besides that outrageous interest rates. Beware!!!

I recently sent in a balance transfer money order to Merrick Bank on 11/17/2017. The check cleared Merrick Bank on 11/29/2017. After a week of checking my (I'm an authorized user and payee) account for payment status, I found out that the payment had been placed in dispute status. Apparently they cashed my check and did not apply the money to my account while continuing to charge over limit and late fees. The amount that I sent was for payment in full. I have sent them the canceled check, my bank account records, and all of the required documentation. I was told that the "investigation" will take up to 4 weeks while I am still accruing late fees and damage to my credit on an account that I paid off. How is this legal?

Back in September of this year I had called to request a credit increase. I was told by the rep on that day that the bank only does automatic reviews and increases and that my account would be reviewed in November. I called today (December) to follow up on this and I was informed by another rep that it would not be reviewed until at least March of next year. Imagine the surprise when I was upset because I am being told two different things. Seriously considering finding another company and leaving Merrick in the dirt.

Merrick Bank has fulfilled the promise of doubling my credit line. No other company has offered anything this good. The only flaw I have found is the minimum payment amount. Would like to see 25.00 instead of 35.00. Thank you.

Information for Cash Advance - The Customer Service Rep was very Helpful in reminding me that the information I needed was in the packet sent to me by Merrick Bank which I had forgotten about so I was Able to do what I needed.

I had very good credit until my experience with Merrick Bank. I've been a cardholder for 4 years, always pay on the 3rd of the month. They hold my payment until it is 1 day late & then post it! Of course charging me a late fee. They've done this 2x in the last 3 months. So I decided to pay online instead. They now claim they never received that payment also! I'm done with them. Be very careful!

I would recommend Merrick as a credit card honestly; I have not had any problems with the credit card or customer service. They increase by credit limits on a regular basis to a very decent limit. I am satisfied.

I've had a Merrick Bank card for years and have always been happy with the service until today. I paid off my card and haven't used it in a year but then used it a few days ago and then today I received a letter that my card was closed due to inactivity, that it wasn't a credit issue. I called the card company and they claimed they sent a letter advising me it would be closed but the letter came back as undeliverable however for some reason I received the letter about closing the account. They refuse to reopen and I can't open another account with them unless I open a secured card only. What a horrible way to do business. I even asked if they had tried to call me or email me but she wouldn't acknowledge that at all. I'm furious. I always paid my bills on time and never missed a payment and this is how I am thanked. DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THEM.

I responded to their offer. I was informed that any 7 months of payments, my line of credit would increase. I've never been late, always paid extra every month. It's been about 10 months now. When I inquired about this, I had to fill out another credit card app, and was denied the increase. Don't waste your time with this deceptive practice.

I love this company. They have excellent customer service. I had questions on a weekend about possible fraud on my card and customer service was right there to give me peace of mind and protect my account.

My husband and I each have a credit card account with Merrick. Every time my husband tries to log in he is told that either his password or his username is incorrect. He is forced to change his password to log in. The next time he tries to log on, it's the same story. His password has to be changed each time he logs on. Today the same thing happened to me. I changed my password, and later tried to log on and was locked out. I have never had this experience with any other credit account. I called the company and the agent said all he could do is have me change my password.

I am very thankful for Merrick Bank. After filing bankruptcy I didn't know how to work on my credit score. Merrick Bank offered me a card and it has been great! I truly appreciate them. After making my payments on time Merrick even raised my credit limit. For this I am very appreciative. I would definitely recommend a friend for their card.

I put in my payment and you are holding on to it till 10/30 and I paid it on 10/23. What's up with that? Man you just make me want to cancel my card. I just cannot believe how you treat your customers.

I have been treated fairly and cannot find a single complaint with the credit service Merrick Bank has provided. My only suggestion would be that when they are determining if a person is more creditworthy after a certain time period, instead of constantly raising the credit line they may perhaps lower the interest rate in the same fashion.

Merrick Bank promised to double my credit line after one year of consecutive on-time payments. They followed through without having to request an increase. They report to the credit bureaus regularly and helped my credit score go up, dramatically. In addition, their Fraud Prevention department is on top of irregular and out of state transactions. I'm a flight attendant and frequently receive phone calls from a fraud agent to verify my out of area purchases. The only negative feedback is sometimes I'm stuck on hold for an extended period of time to talk to an agent, but it's not too often. Overall, I'm happy with the professionalism and integrity of Merrick Bank.

Because of your giving me the opportunity to use your service I was able to get my credit straightened out and put it in very good standing, not a lot of credit card companies had given me a chance and Merrick did. I always carry your card in my wallet.

Your business trusted me enough to give me a credit card. I really appreciate that. By using it and paying it off each month I am building my credit up. So I give you a 5 star rating. Thank you so much by believing in me.

I would like to appreciate the services of credit card score, alert service and keeping the promise of bumping up credit limit once a customer pays on time his/her balance for a number of months. On the other hand I don't like the user friendliness of the site, the summary of transactions list and navigation aspect. Redesigning the front-end with a more modern template/bootstrap and improving the navigation easiness would result in higher customer attraction and satisfaction. Let me know if you need my expertise on that.

I have had a Merrick Bank visa credit card for about 3 years. I have always paid on time and they always raise my credit limit. I am at 2700.00 now and owe nothing. HOWEVER, for no apparent reason they keep jacking up my APR. I started at 19% and now I am at 29%!!!! I leave this credit card open for the credit score rating and extreme emergencies!!!!

I see I'm not the only one they are ripping off with late fees even though I send my payments in 2 weeks before they're supposed to be there. This company is terrible. I suggest you run if you see anything from their company. Do not open a credit card with this company. Go with a reputable company like Capital One. I was going to put my review here with 0 stars but they made me put one so that's the Consumer Affairs. It should be negative five stars for me.

Overall my experience has been pretty good. They seem to be honest and fair with helping people get their credit back on track again. I have been with them for over a couple of years and have only been bumped up once for a credit increase that I did not ask for which was a surprise. I would like to see them offer to not collect an annual fee like some of the other CC companies do. I have referred them to some other people I know. My reason for a 4 star is because of the lack of credit increases even though I now have a much better credit score and charging an annual fee.

I have really enjoyed my experience with Merrick Bank so far. I have had no issues being able to use my credit and my promotional offer was applied according to the terms, without me having to do anything. I enjoy the convenience of being able to check my account quickly using the app and I find it simple to navigate through both the app and the website. It is easy to set up auto payments and even easier to change/add/delete payments both on the website and in the app. I would definitely recommend Merrick Bank to friends and family.

What I love about this card I have I don't get junk e-mails and it's easy to maneuver online. Great bank. Thank you. The one change I would make is automatically lower the consumer's interest rate on their credit card when proven they handle their account well after so many years.

I have had a positive experience with Merrick Bank. I responded to an offer for a credit card, and it was very easy to set up a new account. Making payments is also easy. I would recommend Merrick to someone in need of a credit card.

I was going to give 4 stars, but the app update earlier this year really boosted my ratings about this bank. I've had a Credit card for many years with Merrick and they have consistently met my expectations for a card. I would like the yearly fee to disappear since I've been a Customer for so long and pay my bill on time every month. That would be my only suggestion for improvement.

I was excited to receive my credit card, I am very responsible when it comes to rebuild my credit after recovering from a trained. Everything was going great. I mail the payments for all my bills at the same time. The 3rd of each month, my due date for Merrick is the 17th. Somehow all my bills are credited no later than the 7th. Merrick claims to receive my payment on the 18th but does not post it until the 22nd of each month. Therefore I get a late fee every month. I was credited back 35 once but they have not given me a response on my request. I also sent in a 65 payment they claim was never received. I am now dealing with the money order company to find out if they were cashed. I am cutting this card up and sending it back to them.

Merrick Bank was the first bank to give me a chance to rebuild my credit. I have nothing but positive things to say about them. Then today I went on to my account as I usually do and to my surprise they increased my credit line. Thank you so much for being a great bank.

I got my monthly statement and found a 38.00 late. My bill is due by the 27th and I paid that bill at 5:53 Eastern Standard Time. Technically it should have been credited on time. My bank shows paid, but they are claiming it wasn't credited until the 28th. My bank statement also shows it actually wasn't received until the 29th. Spoke with customer service and they say, it wasn't paid until the 28th, so you know. You gotta pay us. I've caught them in a lie, T-Mobile shows phone contact with them on the 27th at 5:53 pm. Go figure, Federal Trade Commission complaint time!!!

I've been a member since May 2008 - nine years. I've never been over 60 days late on payment yet Merrick has been reporting negatively on my credit report. I requested that my credit limit be increased and the rep read off some nonsense that customers cannot request a credit increase; that Merrick periodically reviews accounts for increases. Well... it's been 9 years... No increase. My guess? They've been erroneously reporting my account as negative so they automatically passed me over for an increase without confirming whether the account is really a negative one. I hate them. I am closing my account as soon as they fix the drama on my credit report. BTW I've already contacted all three bureaus and launched an investigation. Merrick is a waste of my time and money. I want a credit card that actually has perks and doesn't make 9 years of mistakes in reporting customers' accounts. They have been doing me dirty for years and I'm sick of them.

I have had a Merrick credit card for over 4 years. I used it for exactly what their purpose was. Rebuild/establish my credit. All was fine. I charged it up paid it off. Established a good history with them. I have had it completely paid off for almost 2 years. I only used my credit card when needed and not by living above my means. Today I received the ONLY form of communication from them through the mail stating they had closed my account due to INACTIVITY.

I set up recurring payments and they submitted 3 times, I called them about this as they reversed the payment and came to say my payment was delinquent and reported it to the credit bureau.They Ignored the issue. For anyone having issues with the bank report them to the "CFPB", apparently this is common and they continue to get away with along with charging late fees.

Merrick bank payment due on the 17th which I been paying on for the last three years. I got my mail on the 19 that month. Call the bank, talk to Mary **. She said, "Make the payment on the phone with us now and you won't get charge late fees." Well just got my bill on 9/30/2017 with the late fees!!! See you later Merrick Bank.

I have never experienced such friendly service when it comes to credit cards. I use this card the most, after 7 months just like the offer said "after 7 consecutive on time payments, we will double your limit" and they did. Just amazing.

I'm on SS and get paid on 3rd of each month. I send out check on 1st or 2nd with all my other bills. Other creditors post payments no later than 8th. Why you don't post till 20 something is just a way to charge more interest. I know I'm only 1 little account but if you do this to all your customers 1 or 2 cent times the millions of customers is a LOT OF FREE MONEY. I'm not late on my payments. Last month I made elec. payment so not to give you more than was due by your representatives dragging their feet posting payments. I know that I'm not the only one you’re doing this to so clean up your act.

I will never use my Merrick Bank credit card again. I've never disputed a charge before and the one time that I did Merrick Bank made me jump through so many hoops to dispute the transaction and never refunded the money after telling me they were going to. Instead they mailed me a letter asking for the same information I had already given them twice already and they said that if I did not respond by a certain date that they will assume the merchant has taken care of the issue. The problem is by then the time frame had already gone and passed by the time I received their letter in the mail. This is a very low-end credit card and only good for beginners trying to build credit. Definitely not a credit card to be using once you are established.

So far, so good. Merrick Bank has held up their end of the contract and has done what they said they will do. The offer was to make on-time payments, of course, and they will double the credit limit. This was done with no issue or even before I knew it was time. The interest rate is a little higher but that's to be expected. This is a rebuilder credit card. I have not had any problems with the use or in payments posting so far. Their website could be simplified as it's not as user-friendly as it could be. Overall, I am still happy with Merrick Bank and its product.

Start at 700 credit available, nearly max but I keep paying on time got raise. This is Good credit bank no complaints, felt this Merrick Bank is far better than a well known Captial One. Glad they approve me. If anyone asked me which branch they should apply for credit card, I would recommend them Merrick Bank, thanks.

I have had a card with Merrick for about 9 months now. Everything has always went smooth and there have never been any problems. They told me to pay on time for 6 months and they would raise my limit. As soon as that had happened they raised my limit, I didn't have to even remind them. I would definitely recommend Merrick Bank.

Since opening my account with Merrick Bank, I have had nothing but positive experience with them. I find their pages easy to use, questions are answered easily. It is not difficult to find out my balances, my payment, dates due, my limits. Everything I need to know about my account is right there.

I really appreciated that fact that I was able to have advanced cash back within a short period-of-time. That meant a whole heck of a lot. I was able to pay what I had to pay and in return pay Merrick back in full. Thank you for such good services!! More than satisfied.

I not had any problems with this company, you live up to your end of the agreement and they will live up to theirs. I called customer service a couple of times. Was easy to get through and the representative was friendly and helpful.

I've been pleasantly surprised with how much I've enjoyed doing business with Merrick Bank as a credit card Customer. The website is easy to use. I can service my account efficiently. When my card number was used fraudulently, it was caught immediately. I was thankful of how quickly this issue was resolved.

I don't have any complaints about Merrick. I enjoy having them as my credit card company. I will say the app/website seems not very modern. I'm used to doing everything online and the experience there seems a little clunky compared to others like Citi or Bank of America. But it still has what I need and is easy to navigate.

I appreciate my credit limit being raised recently. While it reflected positively on my husband's credit score instantly who shares the account, it has not shown on mine. I called Merrick Bank customer service to request assistance with this discrepancy but was told they couldn't help. Discouraging when I am trying to build my credit with this account yet it's actually not helping while my credit availability to limit ratio is not accurate.

I would recommend to anyone. They are a very good company and I love my card. Easy to access my account. Really love that. Have not any trouble with them at all. Have had my card for a few months and no issues. Paying your bill on time and before really pays off.

A very well organized Bank. Mobile page fast, accurate and up to date and easy to navigate. FICO scores available monthly. My credit limit was doubled after only eight months and didn't have to request an increase. I have some uncovered Medical procedures coming up and plan to use my Merrick Bank card. Thank you for providing a great customer service experience.

I have been trying to dispute a charge on my card. A rep at Merrick told me I need to fax a written document. I have faxed 5 times in last week and not once has it gone through. When I call Dog in disputes is rude and has no advice on how to get them to you. Maybe I will close my account and go with a company who has working machines. Very disappointed with customer service and attitude.

The only problem I have with the bank is that you mail your payment 12 or more days earlier and they still ends up charging you for late fee. I can you be late mailing your payment in that much time earlier. Apart from that to me one of the best bank.

Merrick has allowed me to rebuild my credit. It takes a long time to repair your damaged credit and they gave me a chance. I have not let them down and they have not let me down. Thank you for the opportunity.
