Does anybody here use them?

It's an online bank with the following features....

* no fees for a checking account

* you can use any ATM nationwide for no fee (they will reimburse whatever the machine charges you)

* an overdraft fee is only $9, and if you have multiple overdrafts in one day, they'll only charge you once.

* offers .5 - 1.05% interest

* you can scan in checks and email them to deposit funds, with funds showing up the next business day. (can also use direct deposit of course)

* you can transfer money from any other bank account for free (i'm guessing the other bank would charge you though)

I think I'm going to give them a shot.
 
Weird. Does anybody else see the ad's for Ally on the board now? If so, were they always there, or did they only pop up because of this thread? Crazy what they can do these days with advertisement...

yeah, and some of it is illegal.

you probably went to a Ally Bank website, which stored a cookie on your browser... which activated Ally Bank ads on Pro Boards through the deal they have with their 3rd party ad service.

my understanding is that is ok under the current regulatory regime.

do a bunch of searches for a travel agency, or match.com or something, and then watch what pops up.
 
Hmm, so if I look up a bunch of porn sites will I get free porn here all day?

no, my understanding is that it blocks certain kinds of ads on certain sites.

there are different ad networks... I'm sure in the agreements with the ad networks, the site owners have the option of selecting or excluding ads from certain types of websites.

so, if you did a bunch of searches for x-rated material, then went on Disney.com to plan a magical vacation for your loving, wholesome, Christian, Tea Party family, ads based on your searches wouldn't show up.

they probably have default ads to display when they don't yet have enough cookies to target your preferences on certain sites.

This...I was looking at a certain clothing site and golf site and everytime I get on here those sites are up. Same thing on google...if you look off to the side, a lot of the ads are for things you've searched for recently. If you delete your cookies they'll probably go away.
 
My wife's car is through the Ally bank. I know little about though.
 
It's Proboards ....


There was a Thread Title one time on another Proboard forum where somebody jokingly posted something about "GAY SOMETHING" and the pop-up ads for weeks was for Gay on-line dating services.
 
Time to make a thread about delicious booze, hot chicks, fast cars, 25oz rib-eyes
