Overzealous Fraud Prevention
After 53 years of my family (and my Dads first local employer, VFW State HQs... which BOS VP Harry Argus helped relocating across the street and) doing business here, today will likely be my last. Too bad for the other nice people who work there!
I find it odd and inconsistent with other recent laws (specifically Privacy and POA Laws) that somehow or other at least certain banks can assume POA powers and stick their noses into customers personal business whenever they deem transactions suspicious.. declining transactions or threatening and/or closing accounts!
I would suggest that such banks (unless customer conducts illegal business or has been found to be medically incompetent and unable to handle their own affairs) mind their OWN business, of which closing too many accounts certainly wont help!!
Inept Idiots
This has been the worst bank I've ever dealt with. Their bill pay system is a joke. It was working great until I closed one account and somehow it remained as an option on the bill pay webpage. Twice within a year I had funds they tried to take out of a closed account that remained listed on the menu. The first time I let it go, but made it clear I wanted only one account attached to the bill pay. Then it happened again so I closed one account. You'd think if there's only ONE ACCOUNT they'd figure out their mistake in accessing it. But no. Even a year later the closed account still showed up and again it was deemed my fault for not paying attention. That second time cost me over $80 in bounce fees from my creditors plus late fees when the payment didn't go through. I got the late fees refunded but the bounce fees the creditors referred me back to the bank which asked for copies of my personal credit card statements to show the charges then lost them and I had to submit them again! Finally after several more weeks of waiting I inquired again and they washed their hands of it all and referred me to their bill pay company. After another couple weeks of phone calls and emails they too washed their hands of it saying it was all my fault after leading me on to think they saw my side. How this bank still stays in business is a wonder. If there's any justice here they'll be out of business soon. Do not trust them with your money.
