That same, free GetHuman Phone can call and navigate the menus and wait on hold for you, but you can opt to do all the talking. We notify you when a rep is on the line and ready to talk, so no need to worry about changing menu options and weaving your way through the maze.
Of course, we completely understand if you prefer to do all the dialing, waiting, and talking yourself. All of these free tools are optional.

They may need the phone number on your account
"Hi. Welcome to Ally.
Just so you know, we may record this call to make sure you have the best experience possible.
What do you need help with today? You can say bank accounts and if you know the phone numb if you know the phone number associated with your account, say yes or press one."

What do you need help with today? You can say bank accounts and CD or press one."

What are the hours and when should I call?
Ally Bank operates the call center for this 877-247-2559 phone number 24 hours, 7 days.The short answer is that you should call on a Thursday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 1,103 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Ally Bank call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Ally Bank phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Ally Bank staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call Ally Bank is Sunday.The most busy day to call is Tuesday, which averages 285% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 1,103 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

When you call Ally Bank's Customer Service phone number with a customer problem, you're greeted by an automated message system. After stating that the conversation may be recorded for quality assurance, the following options are presented: press one for bank accounts and CDs; press two for auto; press three for invest; press four for home loan; press five for personal loan; press six for credit card; and press seven to repeat the options.
Specifics regarding each option aren't presented in the main phone menu. The recording simply says "auto" or "home loan" rather than something like, "Press four to inquire about or check the status of a home loan."
This main menu will repeat for two cycles if no option is selected, and then requests you to use the keypad. I assume with this automated system, you can verbally say which number option, although this wasn't stated or implied.
The second recording, which is the same main menu except with a statement at the beginning that explicitly instructs callers to use the keypad, has a new option presented at the second cycle: press zero to speak to an associate. So, to even be presented with the option to directly speak to an associate, the main menu has to repeat for a minimum of four cycles. This is very frustrating, as an immediate option to speak with a representative increases accessibility and allows a greater number of individuals to be adequately assisted.
After the fifth total cycle, and the third with the new "use the keypad" statement, the recording says it is unable to assist you at this time, says goodbye, and ends the call. I'm not sure why the system wouldn't automatically route to a representative. I'm also not sure why the keypad option to speak to a human wasn't available at the beginning. It's also worth noting there aren't alternative language options, such as Spanish or French, which further limits caller accessibility.
If you press any of the presented options, one through six, you're taken to an additional automated message system aimed at narrowing down your area of inquiry. Although, this system seems to operate by voice more so than by using the keypad. I had to press my option on the keypad twice for it to register.
Overall, calling Ally Bank's customer service phone number was frustrating. Once I was able to reach an associate, she was largely helpful but a bit terse. In my opinion, going to the bank's website would be a better option than trying to navigate its customer service phone number, especially if your call is unsuccessful.

If phone-based customer service is not available, or the wait times are long, many people prefer chat as a next-best option. Some even prefer it to calling on the phone. Luckily, Ally Bank provides this option.
Corresponding with a customer service department by email may not be your first choice, especially if your issue is urgent or time-sensitive. But email is a nearly ubiquitous form of communication, and Ally Bank will reply our your email.
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Ally Bank customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
