They dont have much of a following and definitely not a very big pusher of CC's although they do offer a lineup of mastercards. They are kind of similiar to 5/3 bank except no one really uses MB Financial that I know of. MB means business is there saying haha.
Agreed. That's the moral of the story MB Financial, Equality. 1st American State Bank, Blispay, TD. The cli was/is a bi-product of the thread.
(Formerly known as: Credit is my hobby (1.7M)/TCL objective)End of 2nd part of thread. Emailed Nick and got an email back that they would reconsider my cli. They said the partner bank was holding fast with the $100 cli but Nick wanted to do something so they offered a $1,000 cli which I accepted. So anyone considering a cli with Equality, they do consider inquiries heavily. I believe Nick is the President of the partner bank but sounds like this was a team decision.
