- GDGood Dogs5 days ago1.0I opened an new account here. After a month I never got my card. I went back to the bank and learned that the guy never ordered it!? Hey, I think your bowtie might be too tight; It's cutting off circulation to your brain. Maybe if you prioritized your customers instead of your physical appearance you wouldn't lose accounts! I just opened a very large business account w/ my inheritance at BMO instead of WaFd & its because of YOU!
