Fix This Asap Please!!
Turns out if you leave you account empty for 5 days THEY LITERALLY DELETE IT WITHOUT ANY WARNING. A fair warning should be mandatory. I may leave them entirely just because of this. It was my business account tied to my LLC. So all the paperwork and everything *poof* I will be know shifting everything to Lily. I just found this out. And I’m still fuming. But I’m dead serious. Just like my account…poof. I’m gone.
Horrible Bank All Around
Everything with this bank is a jump threw a hoop, rude people that did everything they could to push me out the door today and refused to count 25 dollars in quarters to put in my account. Told me to roll it myself so they could un roll it and count it themselves (the bank was empty and had several employees not doing anything) not to mention the 5 dollars they charge every month to send me a piece of paper saying I bank with them "statement" everything I've had to do with this bank has been a hassle and a headache
Might be some decent branches out there but I haven't found one yet. Would give 0 starts if I could closing my account asap before they come up with something else to charge me for.
HORRID BANKING
Horrible Bank. Horrible practices. They WOULD NOT ALLOW me to wear a MASK indoors. (Springdale, Sunset location - 8-12-21) With the COVID Delta variant spreading like wildfire. This bank literally REQUIRES that you RISK YOUR SAFETY AND WELLBEING if you want to bank there. DISGUSTING!
In addition to the willfully ignorant HEALTH RISKS they force their patron to take, they will not cash PAYCHECKS (from local businesses, national banks and current account holders) without hold. They have a limited number of "services" available to "lesser accounts" and Incredibly RUDE staff.
We were actually told to LEAVE and go bank at Wal-Mart if we didn't like the way they do business! (AKA Requiring that you risk your life in order to bank there. NO tellers were wearing masks either! Apparently they are NOT ALLOWED?!?!?)
Will be contacting the Board of Health as well as the FDA and BBB and reporting this bank to anyone and everyone who will listen! WORST. BANK. EVER.
