While their customer Service is phenomenal on the phone and very accommodating and was able to answer every question politely and quick the only thing is my hope is this card evolves to give some sort of cash back or points to be able to redeem something.

Merrick Bank is not a bank to obtain a credit card from. I have (unfortunately) several credit cards, and this card has had fraudulent charges from almost the beginning of my account. I reported all fraudulent charges. They reimbursed the charges and are now recharging them to my card stating that my statement shows the merchant reimbursed me. I looked through all of my statements, and mine don't show that. My statements should be identical to what they have. It was completely obvious these were fraudulent charges because the merchant charged the same exact price twice in the same day on more than one month. I called the merchant, and they said that I paid for Sports TV, which I most certainly did not. Most subscriptions also charge once a month. Nothing was predictable with these merchants, one month they charged $49.95, then the next month they would charge $49.95 two times in one day.
The bank doesn't want to resolve the issue. I question the authenticity of "the merchant returned the money" since my statements do not reflect this, but they say theirs do. I asked for paper copies of what they are showing since it's different than the statements they are providing online, but now I have to pay $2.00 a copy for these statements. This bank is the most frustrating to deal with. If you get an offer for a Merrick Bank Card, there much better options out there. This bank doesn't even try to prevent these charges by asking if this is you. I haven't been in Florida in over 35 years, yet this merchant said I ordered Sports TV there. Fraudulent charges will always occur, however the way the bank responds is what matters and with Merrick Bank, they don't seem to care and are quite happy taking money from fraudulent charges. I am going to be seeking an attorney for this issue.

This is the absolute worst bank you could ever deal with. It will take every penny from you. They will destroy your credit. I actually have a lawsuit against him for defamation of character. I highly disagree that anybody even looks at this bank. You pay your payment and then next thing you know they charge you 3/4 of what you paid for interest and late fees even if it’s not late. Do not waste your time. This bank is horrible.

It’s not just Merrick, just a consequence of AI and automation which removes the human element. I got really upset with Merrick.

Was originally very happy to have a Merrick Bank credit card, until I was trying to log into my account to make a payment and was shown my account was restricted and locked. After multiple phone calls and getting transferred to multiple people I discover they need to verify my identity, so I follow the link they give me to verify my ID and I'm given a fax number to fax a copy of my social security card to them. I explained it would take me a little while to do this as I travel for work a lot and I would have to find somewhere to pay to have this done (as nobody uses fax anymore). I was never given any time frame or date to have this completed by. I talked to 3 different people in 3 different departments that day and not a single one told me I had a deadline nor did I get a letter, email, or call regarding this deadline. 10 days pass and I get a letter that they have permanently closed my account.
After calling and speaking with 2 different people I got the same responses from them both: they have closed my account because I didn't submit my social security card in a "reasonable amount of time". They won't reopen the account, they don't know why no one told me the deadline to have this completed, and they don't provide anything in writing to you with this information. As someone who has worked in retail/customer service for 17 years, I find this to be a poor business practice and a definite way to lose customers. It is beyond me, how they wouldn't have better communication and business practices in the banking industry. I will not be reapplying for this card.

Had Merrick for a few years and they've been great. Recently paid my account in full ($1806.99) which was LITERALLY all the money I had and they're holding my money saying because it's "such a large payment that it's going to take a week to post" even though the moneys already come out of my checking account and posted to Merrick's.

I had nothing but problems with my secured credit card. I traveled to Canada and my card wouldn’t work - even after I notified Merrick that I was traveling. Then my card got suspended with no notification to me, I was told I could only speak to 1 dept and on Friday they were only available from 0900-1200 (EST). I was in California so I had to set my alarm to wake up early (0600-0900). They told me they were closing my account and couldn’t tell me how I’d get my deposit back. Terrible experience.

I got a card from them last month. I have not even received the bill payment yet. I struggled to access online account. By the time I got access to my account to make a payment they reported the balance to my credit. I like to keep my credit utilization low so I like to pay balances pretty fast. I was shocked they could report a balance before they would bill me. Even today it says my payment is due Sunday. Just paid off the balance and will just keep the card and not use it because you never know they’d report right after the use to drop your credit. Very risky.

I am comfortable with Merrick and mainly satisfied. There was a time when I could count on Merrick's consistency. I choose to utilize Merrick's low and expected minimal payment due each month to help stay budgeted with medical expenses, mostly. During these most recent years coinciding with global economic challenges, that all changed. It's much more difficult to budget my payments and has these past few years and still to this day, Merrick maintains the highest APR of all my cards. I am much more cautious and apprehensive when deciding on whether or not to use Merrick.

Been over two month since account has been closed. Said check being mailed out. It will take 30 days then I call to check after 30 days and now they telling me different mail out date and another 30 days to receive a small $200 check. Stayed on hold with customer service over a hour just to be hung up on. This is the worst service I have ever received.

I gave them the person's name who fraudulently opened a credit card using this MO and they did absolutely nothing and stated their investigation showed that I legitimately opened an account I had no idea about.
