I checked my checking account online before and after midnight on January 15, 2020 and a payment to Toyota financial was not shown. I had my son take off work today the 16th to our money in my account so I would not be charged an overdraft fee. He made the deposit and I checked my account online and they put the payment to Toyota on 15th and not 16th and charged me an overdraft fee which made my account negative. Talked to rep at first convenience and she told me they probably held the money till today the 16th because there was not enough money to cover the payment but it shows they took money out of my account in the 15th. Talked to a supervisor and she would not refund overdraft fee to make my account positive. I asked her what time on the 15th to Toyota and she said there is not a time shown when the payment was made to Toyota in the 15th. How convenient. She argues with me that the payment went out in the 15th and I told her it did not because I checked my account online before and after midnight. According to your complaint board and the many complaints this happens a lot. I want the overdraft fee refunded to me and this practice stopped. It is unethical and illegal.

First Convenience Bank is AWFUL!!! SWITCHING TO A DIFFERENT BANK AND TAKING SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH ME....BEWARE!!!!!

I opened my account with First Convenience Bank around the middle of February 2012. Upon beginning my job at Tarrant County College on February 20th, I was told my first check would not be available until the end of March. I borrowed $500 from a family member and he sent me a bank check from Wells Fargo for the amount of $500. I was told because Wells Fargo would not verify third party information they had to hold the funds until the $500 could be verified.
On March 8, 2012, I received my retirement check from the State of Colorado. The check was for a little over $10, 000. I was told because of the amount of the check, they would have to hold the funds for up to two weeks. I called the state offices in Colorado and they verified the funds were available, but the bank would still not release the funds. They had me sign a paper stating I would get $4800 on March 14th and the balance on March 21st.
My first payroll check from Tarrant County College was supposed to be direct deposited on March 30th, 2012. Because the TRS retirement paperwork was not entered in sufficient enough time, they issued a paper check. I picked up the paper check at the business office and drove to First Convenience Bank. The teller called Chase Bank to verify availability of funds and informed me I would have the funds available on Saturday, March 31st. Upon attempting to withdraw funds on March 31st, I was told that a hold was placed on that check for the entire amount of $5, 900, leaving me no money to pay my bills. I tried to call the central offices in Killeen, but they were closed for the weekend.
On Monday, April 2nd, I called the bank’s central office in Killeen. As I was explaining the situation, the lady who answered the phone said she was sorry, but that is just the way things are. She then hung up on me. I called back and asked for a supervisor. The supervisor informed me that the “Loss Prevention” office had placed a hold on the check and I would have access to the funds on April 9th. I asked for a number and contact information for the Loss Prevention office and the supervisor stated they do not talk with customers and there is no public telephone number available. She went on to state, “Now that I was aware of the policy, I could plan better in the future”. I explained to her that I need to pay my rent and purchase my heart medications and she said she was sorry, there was nothing she could do for me. I never signed a form stating my money would be held until April 9th.
I contacted the payroll office of Tarrant County College, who contacted Chase Bank, who wrote and faxed a letter stating there were sufficient funds to cover the payroll check. Once again First Convenience has denied my request to release my funds.

Hahaha...whatever.

whythelongfaces...boohoho. Wipe your tears little boy...lol

And you need to start kindergarten because for someone who claims to have banked for over 40 years you sure are stupid. My 18 year old is smarter with her money and more mature than you are.

'whythelongfaces" shouldn't you be in school? You don't want to repeat the third grade again for a second time.

Why is Walmart doing all this business with them, letting them into their stores?

The BBB is not a stamp of perfection for any business. They are a rating service for businesses and the business has to REGISTER with the service to be included. They have NO POWER over any business. Stop depending on the BBB to make your decisions. Exactly what is your issue with this bank and Walmart?

I had been banking with this institution for more than 6 months. During this time I had two overdrafts. One of the overdrafts was because I was doubled dipped by an automatic withdrawal.
I went to open a savings account on 3/22/12. No problems, the people at the branch were nice when they took my two checks @ $2, 500 apiece. I went the following Monday to transfer $500 into my checking and was told my account was on hold. I asked why, and they stated because I had 6 or more overdrafts. I told them to check my account and they verified that was false. The Assistant Manager than stated she didn't know why and said I needed to call their headquarters in Kileen.
Red flags were flying. Why hold checks on a savings account? I can understand checking maybe, but not savings,
I called four times. The first three times they disconnected me. The fourth time...Jason the customer service rep would not let me talk to the Loss Prevention Dept. nor his Supervisor. I couldn't talk to anyone but Jason who told me they were abiding by Federal Law and that's just the way it is. This also caused red flags to fly.
I then received a letter stating that because they don't believe the checks are good and that I had repeatedly overdrafted my account, the checks would be on hold for 7 business days.
I had deposited checks from my father before. Red flags again. The called my 81 year old father and interrogated him, scaring him to death. Both checks cleared in 3 days yet they are holding them for a total of 12 days making daily interest.
What is happening after reading all the other complaints is clear to see.
They are taking advantage of their customers because they know the customers don't have the monetary means to fight.
This wrong needs to be righted. They are the pink slime of the banking industry. Please, I am all in for doing a class action lawsuit to expose these con artist. That's my opinion.

READ your terms for the accounts. You state you can understand why a hold would be on a checking account for checks...but not for savings accounts...really? You really think savings accounts are a get around?

I over drafted sixty six dollors and they want three hundred and fifty dollors for it.

Ridiculous is right. It is ridiculous that you stole their money and cannot understand why they are making you pay for it.
