Certificate Of Deposit Penalities Not Waived In Cases Of Death
Recently, my mother who had advanced dementia, died after months of being in a nursing home and periods in a hospital. She had certificates of deposits in four banks in the keys. Only First State Bank charged a penalty for early withdrawal to her benefactors. I have checked with several other banks and none of them charge a penalty in cases of death. I asked the Branch Administrator Manager of First State if the penalty could be waved, but my request was denied. I think the banks that do not charge a penalty realize that it is wrong to capitalize on the death of a customer by penalizing the relatives. At the time of a death of a love one there are many issues that require attention and a little consideration would be appreciated.
Huge Daily Fees
I had a rental property in Key West and both a checking account with First State Bank of the FL Keys and a the mortgage on the property with First State Bank of the FL Keys. For convenience, the tenant deposited rent into the account directly and 10 days later the mortgage with set up to auto-deduct. One month, the tenant failed to pay the rent and the auto-deduct happened before I could get enough cash into the account to cover it. I fully expected a late fee on the mortgage and an overdraft fee on the checking account. However, I did not expect to be charged as daily fine of $100/day for every day that the acccount was overdrawn. Since even exrpress mail is not that fast to Key West, I ended up with several hundred dollars of fees for this one event. I was shocked and have since closed the account.
Huge Daily Fees-Response
On 3/30/11 @ 4:02 PM a PSnyder posted a review that incorrectly claimed that First State Bank of the Florida Keys charged a $100 per day overdraft fee.
The statement regarding a $100 per day overdraft fees is completely inaccurate. The Bank's standard overdraft fee schedule is reasonble and customary in the industry for overdraft related services.
Moreover, in reviewing our files we cannot find a customer by the name of P Snyder, so if indeed they had an account with our bank it must have been under a different name.
First State Bank of the Florida Keys is the only remaining local community bank in the Keys and we have a 56 year history of personalized one-on-one customer service.
Therefore, we welcome the opportunity to visit personally with P Snyder to review the exact nature of their comments and to clairfy the reason for any over draft fees, if they, in fact, were charged to an account.
P Snyder may reach us at www.keysbank.com, "contact us" section to schedule an appointment to review their situation with a senior bank officer.
