Ameris Bank refused to send a $400 wire to Nigeria for a background check for my fiancé for an K1 visa. They made a poor decision about a high-dollar client who had been with them since 2014.They are provincial and small-minded. If they are concerned about dishonesty, they should look in their own backyard. I had at least seven accounts with them, both business and personal, and I took my business to Vystar, which allows you to send your own wires for free and pays interest on all accounts. I should have banked there a long time ago.
I wish I could give them zero stars.. On March 19, 2023 $494.80 and 492.68 was debted from my account at a Pilot gas stationin Lincoln, Al for diesel. I explained to them that i was no where near that area nor do I live near that area. At that time the bank reversed the charges. On June 26,2023 the bank put the charges back on my account stating that I was the one that made the transactions. I would like to explain that I am a local truck driver and I do not travel that far out. If the bank would look at my transactions they would see that I have never been in that area.
Simply put the worst bank I ever dealt with. Last week I paid what I thought was my last payment. Then they said I owe them a 1000 dollars. I asked for what, if anything you guys should be sending me back money for good payment. They said I had few late payments. I told them I always sent in the late fee if I knew I was going to be paying late. She said sometimes I might have paid on the last date but after 7 pm, which means it will be late. So I told her count how many times I have been late and add it up. It came up to $375, so I told her initials (M.P) how did we come up to a thousand. She had no clear answer and said her allotted time of 10 minutes was up, and best she could do is send me an email of my payment history. I had never heard that before, allotted time is up, Ameris bank is a disgrace. I would give them half of one star, for at least picking up the phone.
