    I was approved for a credit card and I received an email saying that the card will arrive in the mail within 7 days. After two weeks I did not receive anything. I called and they said they will mail the card. What I can't understand is why would they send an email saying I will receive the card in 7 days and after two weeks and I called about it because I didn't see anything, they didn't even mail the card at all. That is very unprofessional. Now they say they will mail out the card, let me see what happens now.

    I am a new customer, but so far it’s been a great experience with no complaints! Keep up the good work! I received a solicitation today asking for feedback, so I am obliging. I wish I had more to say, but I really haven’t had much experience yet with Merrick, so here it goes. The application process was easy, the app is user-friendly, and the card helps build my good credit. By increasing my credit and paying back a small balance every month, I’ve increased my score already!

    I still haven’t received a working card but I’ve had to pay $172. Customer service isn’t always helpful. I’m starting to think it’s a scam. I haven’t been able to set up an online account to manage my account and the bill always comes after it is due so I get a late fee. I’m paying for a card that I have yet to use.

    Overall I enjoy the card and use it over most of my other cards, my husband had one and I he was very happy with it. They always followed through with increases as mentioned when signing up or applying for card. He uses his quite often also. I applied and was approved and got my first increase like they said I would, I never miss a a payment and pay early but for whatever reason my increases stopped for no reason. I have waited thinking I was off on when I would get one but still nothing. Either way it's still a great card. I use it often. It offers cash back and is accepted anywhere I shop online or in store and it's secure. Have never once had hacking issue or fraud charges.

    On three occasions I decided to pay off credit card balance after I made the on time payments within the same month and all three times Merrick bank held the monies for 7-15 days even though they came from the same bank I make all payments with! They gave the excuse saying they occasionally do this because sometimes banks take back the money even after it has been cleared and removed from the account! They say it’s randomly done but it only happens when I make a second payment after I made the monthly payment on or ahead of due date!

    I also got from one so called customer service rep “it shows a pattern” and when I asked what pattern ie “that I pay on time and zero the balance each month” the rep just kept using and stating the word “pattern” but could not elaborate or even give the reason why paying on time is considered a bad thing? I just did it for a fourth time and was told by three different reps three different dates when my available credit would reflect my payments! Today 06NOV22 is the second date told to me by an “advanced rep” and tomorrow was the first date given 07NOV22 but I highly doubt it as I will be calling Merrick in the morning and closing the account after confirming they have released the total payments to clear balance to zero!

    It’s as if they are punishing me for keeping up on my payments and paying more then once a month! They want you to be late to charge you outrageous fees and fines and when you show them you are very capable of never going into the red and receive fees they hold your money as captive at their discretion as punishment! I contacted my bank and they say it’s next to impossible for them to “take back monies they have cleared if the monies were available in their system”. Would look for other credit cards if I were you as they also have failed in multiple months to report my perfect payment history to the credit bureau and made my score not increase due to perfect payments!!!

    I recently opened a credit card account with Merrick Bank. I was never informed that I would be sent a pin to use the first time. After that I would be allowed to set my own pin number. I called to get my pin set and the rep was very rude. She did not understand that I had not been told this. She also could not understand that a pin was not mailed to me. I ask her to set my pin after she verified it was me by asking numerous questions. I answered them all. She stated all she could do was send out my pin again. I should receive it in 7 - 10 days. She never offered any other options or tried to get a supervisor to help her to see if the issue could be resolved while I was on the phone. At this point I have already had my card for 4 weeks. I am not at all pleased with the customer service I received.

He was courteous, knowledgeable, and helpful. Whomever the HR person that hired him take a bow and be on the hunt for more. Omar represents Merrick Bank well.

    I believe that in order to help make use of your services, especially for seniors, you could make it possible to make account payments by phone, with bank cards etc. Forcing people to make a special trip to post offices, stand in line for hours, get a money order, and stamp, and mail it in, we should not be forced to do that or give all of our banking info, just to auto pay.

    My experience with Merrick Bank has been very basic and unsatisfying, I've been with merrick with over a year now. I have secured credit card which I never missed a payment and have had good history, I was never offered a better card or even a credit limit increase unless I sent my own money which is very bad after a year of being a loyal customer to you guys. Honestly if I didn't need this account for my credit history I would close it, please in future do better to your customers, I have other credit cards that made my secured cards unsecured and gave me a great credit limit in only 6 months. I hope you guys do better in the future.

    First, consider yourself warned. DO NOT apply for or deposit ANY money into a CD with this bank. My financial advisor disowned me because I blindly applied for a Merrick Bank CD. First, as we know it is ALL online with little or no guidance after a laborious application. The sketchy sporadic failure of the employees to answer the very basic questions is frustrating. Phone static and incompetent phone employees is insane. Nobody has any answers and the answers you get are VERY different than the ones you got the day before. My application took over 2 hours, I reluctantly provided all critical, personal information (I know, never ever do that) but I did. My application was accepted last week then today.... yup! They lost it. The lost my online application. Expect that to happen to you IF you are dumb enough to apply to ANY account with Merrick Bank. They are HORRIBLE.

    Now, ALL my info (account numbers etc) are lost? Their excuse? "Gee, sir, I dunno. I you always re-apply but not until next week cuz our system is, like, down.... can I help you with anything else?" Answer? NO.... then I ended the call. Here is my point: If you decide to deal with Merrick Bank because the CD interest rate is slightly higher than your brick & mortar bank around the corner? Think again! DO NOT DO IT. I am highly suspect and smell a rat! DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT DO IT!!! I am highly suspicious of Merrick Bank and stated to the employee "This is unsettling, am I going to have to contact the Atty General office in South Jordan, Utah? Her reply "I never heard of that General." Enough said!!

    I have been a Merrick Bank card holder since 8/2012, and but the past two days was the last straw. I have an unauthorized charge to my card and I have been trying to dispute it for the past two days. Been on hold for a total of 2 hours in two days. Thirty minutes the first day (7/26/22), and 1 1/2 hours the second day (7/27/22).

    When I finally got thru to the dispute department on day one, for the last five minutes no one said anything. On day two, I got through to the dispute department and was speaking with Dennis. I explained to him the problem, and he put me on hold, then I was transferred back to the card services line, only to be put back on hold again for another hour. Dennis transferred me without any warning or explanation that I was even being transferred. Why and who would he transfer me to, because he was from the dispute department. You cannot reach Merrick Bank via email, only the customer service number they give you. This it totally unacceptable. After I fight this unauthorized charge, after 10 years of being a faithful Merrick Bank cardholder, I will be closing my account with them. I will NEVER be put through this again.

I made all 8 payments well within the timeframe, was never late, and few weeks later no credit limit raise. Tried calling them they never answer just leave you on hold, contacted social media help they want you to DM them only to call you and if you happen to miss the call then it's back to calling them back and being on hold and hold, even with the specific phone number and ext they give you on voicemail. Now they stopped responding to me at all. So yeah, look for better cards, don't go after this one to have more credit line cause it's all a lie.

    On June 6, 2022, I attempted to make a payment to Merrick Bank of $70.00 on their website. However, their site was down. Therefore, I scheduled a payment of $70.00 to Merrick Bank using Bank of America's online bill pay service. According to Bank of America, the payment of $70.00 to Merrick Bank cleared my checking account on June 13, 2022. I sent proof of payment to Merrick Bank on July 2, 2022. Merrick Bank, however, stated that they never received payment; and thus, have suspended my account and charged me a $29.00 late fee. As a result, I believe I’m being penalized unfairly. This is the second consecutive incident in which Merrick Bank has alleged that they did not receive my payment from Bank of America. None of my other creditors have ever experienced such issues. My desired resolution is that Merrick Bank waive the late fee of $29.00.

Called the next day and MB confirms this was sent out yesterday, standard. MB confirmed notes in the account that the replacement was to be rushed. Agent put me on hold for a bit and came back and told me they would send it out today, expedited, and waive the fee. Great! Asked for a tracking number and put on hold, call unfortunately disconnects.

    Called back and the new agent has no record of the conversation I just had with the agent who allegedly expedited my card and got the fee waived but sees a new card issued, standard and not expedited again. Literally asked the agent if this is a scam or am I living in the Twilight Zone. New agent said they would have it expedited, so I asked for tracking or a confirmation number. Agent informs me I would get an email saying it is expedited, normally would get one saying 5-7 business days and to not worry. Great! Hung up.

    I like the credit card and had no bad experience until I decided to pay my payment earlier than the due date. I decided to pay my bill on the 1st thinking I would get it over with so I wouldn't have to worry later. Well they ended up on the following month saying that I never paid. I called and was told that because I paid on the 1st it was put on the previous month as I paid 2 times for that month. I was so livid because I was never told in any of the paperwork that you would be penalized for paying early. Which the lady I was connected to also stated how it's not my fault because they don't tell anyone. But yet I still have to pay twice the payment amount they had me pay a payment and added another at the end of the month. Which makes it 2 payments I have to pay and was not told that during the conversation on the phone. I had to find out when I looked on my statement. Lesson learned. I will not pay any of my credit card bills early again.

    I have a couple issues with Merrick bank's credit card. Firstly, they have reported my credit usage at the highest point of my credit use. That is awful because I have always paid my monthly credit card bill in full well before the due date each month. I have NEVER carried over any balance whatsoever. I currently have zero balance, but my credit usage has not been updated with the credit bureaus! Because my credit lines are limited, the high credit usage on my credit report has adversely affected my credit score by -30 point over the past two months. It's making me feel sick to my stomach.

    Second issue, I tried to set up my bank information to make payments direct from my checking account. It's not letting me do this and I have to go through a 3rd party payment system and pay $2.95 each time I pay my bill. I contacted customer care, they directed me to contact my bank to get a letter, yadda yadda... but seriously. That is just extra!

    Third Issue, there is no way to contact customer service via their online website/app. They have a link for a secure message center that does not allow us to send them messages. The only way to contact them is by calling their customer service number. So I called and was put on hold for over an hour and ultimately decided to hang up.

    $1495 charge about 8-10 months ago. Disputed due to not receiving what I paid for. Followed all protocols, tried to contact company several times. Never received response. Was locked out of their acct. Immediately filed dispute. I was told by Merrick you spoke with them and they said was resolved with me. Never resolved, company NEVER spoke with me. I ended up paying the charges. Horrible experience with Merrick. Now that credit score improved, will be looking to move to a different card company.

You actually should have received the payoff check prior to my due date as all the other creditors received their checks. Hopefully this can be resolved before my payment is due next month on the 5th.

    I have been with Merrick Bank for a year now and I love how easy it is to use their app. It's not just easy to navigate through my transactions and see what my balance, due dates, and pending transactions are, but it's great that I can schedule my payments prior to their due dates. Aside from those features above, I am so happy that I can check my credit score, which is really important for me to monitor and compare with other credit reporting apps and the three major bureaus.

    Merrick Bank has also increased my credit limit a couple of times, based on my responsible use of credit. I really appreciate those boosts because you just never know when an emergency might arise. It gives me peace of mind knowing that I have access to a sufficient amount of credit if the major need should occur. Thank you, Merrick Bank, for a terrific first year. I intend to be a loyal customer for years to come.

    I have had Merrick Bank card for several years. I always pay on time. Then one day they just cancelled my card, no warning or notice that they were going to do that. I called and no one could give me a reason why. Someone just told me that they could do that anytime. I was furious since I always paid on time. Next thing I knew they had reinstated my card and raised my credit limit which I didn't ask for. I really do not understand their logic.

    Merrick Bank has been sitting on my credit card payments for weeks - this is per my bank Chase who assured me all 7 payments in question had been indeed sent to Merrick Bank. Chase also told me that Merrick Bank did not accept them. They do NOT help the hearing impaired. The only way to contact them is the phone and/or snail mail. I cannot talk on the phone. Sent 3 letters to Merrick Bank and NO response.

    The website for Merrick - help - has a 1 way secure message - must be 2 way for someone to send a secure message to them (what kind of help is that?). Many feedback submissions made - no response or changes made. Pending charges/credits - cannot tell the difference - the credits/payments should be in () or in a different color to differentiate. Where I should have a credit on the account, I have an outstanding balance - no payments (7 of them) have been posted. Very poor customer service for a bank!! I'd like to know where my payments are!! Very unhappy with the service!!

    I applied for a cc. Was approved, however I quickly decided that this was not something that I needed- I did not want to keep this account and I wrote them to close it within a week of approval. I hadn't even received the card yet in the mail, it was never activated. Within a few weeks I was being hassled about my "payment being overdue." When I made contact via BBB for mediation, they responded telling me that I owe the "annual fee" regardless of whether or not I kept the account or even used the card. So to just get approval, I was immediately locking myself in for their "yearly fee", even after immediately closing the unused account. After my bbb report, they suddenly claimed that they had sent me a confirmation of account closure immediately after receiving the request- this was a lie as I NEVER received any confirmation letter.

    After they got another bbb complaint, they quickly sent a bunch of "copies" of the statement of funds owed and a confirmation letter that they clearly typed up and put a date on that correlated with their story. But a letter that I had never actually received after requesting the account closure. They remain repugnant and insist the annual fee and now late fee are mandatorily owed. In addition to the $75 annual fee, they tacked on $45 for "overdue/late" status and some other nonsensical fees, which now put me at over $120 in debt. For nothing. Because I stupidly applied for the cc. Go ELSEWHERE unless you're sure you want to be indebted to these crooks forever.

Some cards have a cutoff time which is actually early in the day of the date due, especially when time zones are taken into account.

    They made the payment manageable for you and getting to the website is very easy at all time. The only one problem I think that they can make the interest rate smaller after being a long time customer with good credit rate and keeping your account in good Standard.

    I scheduled a one time payment and then a day before the payment I signed up for auto pay but took both payments. I called and they said to call my bank there was nothing they could do. The bank won’t refund the payment unless I can show that the card was paid in full. I need my overpayment of $789.32 ASAP.

    Never received a refund for a cancelled flight due to the 2020 pandemic. The airlines gave me useless credit towards my next flight when I wanted my money back. I went through with Merrick Bank to force a refund and instead they sided with the airlines and refused my refund. Been a full year and nothing. When I needed you to protect my money during the toughest year of my life, you weren't there. I've since signed up with another credit card that actually reports with Credit Karma and Transunion (4 years since I got your card and have no credit to show for it!). Extremely disappointed.

    I would’ve kept a card if you didn’t nickel and dime for a four dollar a month fee with my credit. I don’t need to pay a fee of any sort as now I have three credit cards that don’t charge me annual fees so that is why I got rid of your card.

    Having Merrick Bank Visa card is been very great. In the past I had Credit card with other Bank, but they had to closed it because I was in a situation I couldn’t pay on time my bill. But when I got Merrick Application to build my scores by using their credit, I took this opportunity to use this Credit wisely and always pay on time. Ever since then, I started using it and my scores are good so far. I can recommend anyone to trust Merrick Bank.

    I was charged for something I didn’t do and I think it’s completely ridiculous that I have to pay for something I had no part of! I’ve had 3 different people tell me things, but regardless when it comes down to it I didn’t purchase or sign up for anything. Just because there’s an address that says they sent it to doesn’t mean I received something. I had to replace 3 cards due to possible fraud which was brought to my attention by MY BANK, that’s how I even noticed all this nonsense to begin with! I actually had just noticed something very strange on the hill in my yard up by the road, and once I finally went to see if it was an animal, it was actually a clear garbage bag of Amazon packages!!!

    I mean how ridiculous, I never even knew, someone could have easily took all of them. The only reason they hadn’t was because the bag was covered by a lot of snow! Anyway I loved this card and never had issues till this all happened and now I just don’t even know what to think. Also they say it was a subscription, well you can’t deliver a subscription so tell me how that works? That’s the way they are verifying I did it. Lol.

    Overall, my experience with the bank have been average. The interest rate remains high even though my credit score has improved drastically over the years. The annual fee seems unfair since it is in addition to a high interest rate. I have received regular credit line increases, but they are small ($200-$400 at a time). Customer service doesn't offer much information about what is missing or what more should be done to improve my experience.

    I would have given Merrick more stars but their unwillingness to reward people like knocking down their interest rate on your card. I have been a credit card holder with Merrick Bank for many years, I live on a fixed income (100% disabled) and I have NEVER MISSED A PAYMENT, NEVER GONE OVER MY LIMIT, NEVER HAD A RETURNED PAYMENT (money to make payment has always been in my account). I just feel when you make all this effort, and been a loyal customer that it should be taken into account.

    I got my Merrick card at the same time as a competitor's card. I have made payments exactly the same way on both cards. Merrick has raised my credit limit multiple times and is over double the credit limit on the other card. I appreciate them actually paying attention to my efforts and rewarding me for them. I recommend Merrick Bank to anyone who will listen! Thank you.

    I have had this card for about a year and a half now and have received 2 credit limit increases. Overall I have been pleased with the card however the Merrick App could be a little more user friendly. I also would love to understand how they determine the amount distributed at credit increase times.

    I have held a card for a few years with never having a late payment, I have other cards from other banks that the interest rates are a lot less. Would use the card more if the interest was lower and the credit availability was higher then I would pay more on it every month but kinda dissatisfied with the interest rate and available credit.

    When the pandemic first hit and I lost hours at work, I called all 4 of my credit card companies to ask for a lower interest rate and less finance charges to cope with COVID. All of my credit card companies worked with my except MERRICK. I have never missed a payment nor have I ever been late but they would not consider my request.
