I openned a business account at this bank last month (I had a personal account there for the past 3 years). I waited 2 weeks to get my card, but instead got a rejection letter saying they couldn't verify credit references. I phoned the number and the only thing I was told was to fax a copy of my ssn which I did. Another week goes by and I get another rejection letter for the same reason. I phone the number again and am told the reason why I am being rejected is because I am not a US citizen. I am livid. I have excellent credit history (2 personal credit cards which are always paid in full and on time, a car loan, etc) so it is not like I don't have any credit. The only reason why I was rejected was because of my immigration status. This is absurb, and I don't even think it is legal.
