Account opening, closing, or management

Bank account or service: Checking account

Complaint: I brought in a mailer coupon for a {$300.00} checking bonus XX/XX/XXXX to a local Regions Bank on XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TX XXXX, and opened a lifegreen checking with the bank. The branch manager told me they needed the complete mail for verification for which I already threw away because there was a detachable coupon from the mailer which did not state I needed the complete mailer for the bonus. The manager proceeded to open the account anyway stating it was okay because i had the coupon. 3 months passed by and i did not get the bonus despite having fulfilled the requirement ( XXXX debit transactions ) .This was XX/XX/XXXX, which was 3 months after i completed the requirement. I went in to talk to them, and one of the bankers ( XXXX ) kept telling me to check back which i did. Another month went by and still no bonus so i called up the bank who gave me the runaround stating they were working on the issue and would give me a follow up. I never received any follow up until i started calling the banker 's direct number to which he apologized and promised to take care of the issue. Another month went by with no result. I was thoroughly fed up at this point i told them i was going to file a compliant if they kept ignoring the issue. the banker kept telling me he would follow up with the status, never once did he initiate the call to me to update me on the status, only once after i 've called him first to demand a callback. I had to coldcall this bank numerous time week after week to get an update which was always '' i promise you it will be done ASAP. '' His excuse was the system could not locate me for the bonus because i did not have the complete mailer, but they would go ahead and take care of it because the account was opened anyway. Finally on XX/XX/XXXX i went in the bank myself to talk to them, the banker saw me and immediately sat me down and told me they finally got the ok to deposit the money into my account and promised that i would receive it by the next morning. I gave them 2 days after that conversation, still no bonus. I tried to contact them by phone many times and was always told by a teller that they would contact me back, not a single call back. I really wanted to close my account at this point because i am so fed up with this bank and how incompetent the people working here are. I am not even as angry about the bonus not getting deposited as it should have. but rather the lack of respect for their customer and lack of courtesy to simply give a phone call to update on the status after promising numerous times that they would. I initially decided to give this bank a chance as i was actually looking for a new bank to deposit my money and it was relatively close to where i live. But after this ordeal with this particular bank I do not see myself going back ever again for anything, this bank has wasted numerous hours of my time chasing them on the money due to lack of communication, follow up, and lying to me about working on this issue diligently. I work in customer service myself so i know how important it is to treat customers with upmost respect, but unfortunately this bank showed me none.

Bank account or service: Other bank product/service

Complaint: We have our account with Regions Bank for years. We purchased a property and on the closing day, we received instructions from the Title Company to do the wire. We went to Regions and did the wire to XXXX XXXX XXXX and came to find out, the email we received with the instructions was hacked. XXXX XXXX XXXX found that out and is holding our money for over 70 days. They do n't give us information, do n't talk to us and we were told that they only will give information to our bank, Regions. On the other side, our bank is not helping at all, they refuse to get higher level people involved, to help us, they are treating us with a lot of demeanor. I sent an email to XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, who we were told are the regional manager and operation managers and they never replied the email. Our branch manager also sent an email to them and they do not respond. This is the worst demeanor a bank can do to a customer. We are supposed to have help when there is fraud involved and Regions is not cooperating at all. We went to an Attorney and were informed that only Regions can do something for us and all they are doing is NOTHING!!! Having a regional manager and operation manager like this, they should have some punishment for that!

Complaint: Regions Bank had a public link that stated that by opening a XXXX XXXX Account and making a minimum number of debit transactions there would be a {$400.00} bonus. I submitted my application for this checking about along with the promotional code. My application was accepted, I funded my account, and ordered my debit card. It was only afterwards when corresponding with Regions customer service did I find out the offer had expired. It is not the premature expiration of this offer which concerns me ( the public offer had language that this public promotional code was good until XXXX/XXXX/2017 ), but the fact that at no point during the sign-up process did anything indicate that this offer was no longer valid. This is clearly a bait and switch, to the detriment of me being able to take advantage of other offers with them or other banks.

Complaint: The issue that I would like to bring to the attention of the CFPB is that Regions processes ACH drafts before the designated date specified on the draft. It has happened a number of times on my accounts at Regions causing overdraft fees throughout the life of my accounts there. When I question the reps in the call center about the issue, they can not explain why to me. Example 1 : Mortgages payments set to come out on XX/XX/XXXX. Draft was processed on XX/XX/XXXX. Example 2 : Most every week, I have a draft for {$200.00} for a daycare payment set to come out on Monday. It always comes out on Saturday mornings. I have learned what Regions does so I try to be prepared early for the drafts but this practice should not be acceptable for organizations such as Regions. Also, if you have a draft that is set to be deposited and it falls on a weekend, then you have to wait for the following business day for that to be deposited but they process the ACH drafts the opposite way and make it where it drafts on the last business day.

Complaint: Hello. On XXXX XXXX 2016, I opened XXXX checking and savings accounts with regions bank. I made a mobile check deposit and waited for the funds to be available, so after a few days I went to transfer money from that account to another bank in my home town and when I submitted all the information I.e. Routing, account etc. I was informed that they had to verify so ok no problem but when everything was verified and I tried to transfer all of a sudden my account was locked out so I called the bank and they informed me that I had to sign some verification forms as if my electronic signature was n't enough. So I travelled XXXX mile missing time at work to come home and take care of this. So when all this was taken care a few days later I tried to transfer money and also pay some credit card bill that I have accumulated due to not having access to my accounts and was told yet again that I needed to sign the same papers again. Got I. Touch with bank manager and he resubmitted the forms so days later it was ok until I tried to pay bill or transfer money again. XXXX of my credit cards actually went through for payment but the others according to credit company the money for payment was given then taken back. Now they say my account are locked out due to fraud which there is none and no one can answer my questions about what fraud has occurred. Spoke to the regions XXXX number and they said I had to get the bank manager to talk to tech support about my account to unlock it but yet again it is still locked. When I tried to close the account I was denied stating that I had to be physically at the branch to close my account. Well I did n't have to be there to open XXXX up and do n't have to be there to make changes or to ask about my account when I call online services. Now my bills are behind, When I asked what will they do about getting my credit fixed on all late payments due to there fouled system and I was told that they ca n't do anything. For all those that read this. STAY AWAY FROM REGIONS BANK. I can only assume there saying that my account is locked due to the fact they really did n't have any money to pay the recent judgement they received and are taken customers money to pay for it and telling them that there accounts are locked out because of fraud. Well I guess that 's partly true except there the ones that 's probably committing it.

Complaint: Over the last year in XXXX & several times in XXXX I have contacted my bank about a paid loan that they keep billing me annual fees for account that was closed in XXXX soon as the account was paid off. Each time that I speak with a customer service agent, they either do n't see the form filed with the correct department or the correct form was not submitted by the previous agent. Since XXXX I have been receiving statements about this same account and I have called each time that I have received one. Now they are charging a late fee, plus threatening to send this to a collection agency for an amount that I do not owe Regions Bank.
