He said he had large insured IRAs paid more with variable yrs from 2 to 7 yrs up to 2.75 % only guarenteed .45 %. I asked him and branch manager sure they were FDIC insured and they said they were. They had stack of papers to sign on disclosure stuff. Split $ XXXX into 2yr, 3 yr, 4 yr, 5 yr IRAs. Several weeks later got large package in mail of documents and states all over them not insured. Went to bank and manager pulled up my account and he said my account is through there bank and insured for $ XXXX I put in bank. Looked through the original papers and found sheet they had hid in disclosure statements paper stating nothing insured. These guys lie and steal from seniors.

Using a debit or ATM card

Bank account or service: Checking account

Complaint: When I opened an account with Regions Bank the put me in an " opt In '' status without asking me. Opt in means that the keep paying your debit charges even though you have no overdraft protection. As with a normal debit card it will refuse the charge if there re insufficient funds, they call this " opt out '' which should be the default like all debit cards. Now I have accumulated XXXX in NSF charges. They did not give me a choice as to " opt in '' or " opt out ''. why would anyone chose to pay a XXXX overdraft fee for a XXXX debt charge. They are a rip off.

Using a debit or ATM card

Bank account or service: Checking account

Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX at a XXXX ATM a withdrawal transaction for the amount of {$200.00} took place without my authorization. A police report was filed at the police department located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX FLORIDA XXXX in which I was given a case number : XXXX. The police report was presented to Regions Bank to initiate an investigation in which it was concluded that the transaction was normal, that my card was used with my pin, which is FALSE. I then proceeded to the bank and was told that I should initiate my own investigation, which is very frustrating because if I do not show evidence of my own, the case will not be reopened. The bank does not want to help with the investigation to determine who obtained access to my personal information. The bank, I repeat, does not want to help me, so I come to you to solve this problem.

Problems caused by my funds being low

Bank account or service: Checking account

Complaint: We had {$8.00} in our personal checking account on XXXX/XXXX/2016 posted as available balance. We made a purchase for {$3.00} and {$4.00} the morning of XXXX/XXXX/2016. That night ( several hours later ) a charge came through from XXXX XXXX for {$140.00}. We knew this charge would put us negative and we knew we would have to pay a {$36.00} overdraft fee. This single fee was something we decided we would have to incur to get our bills settled. Regions Bank took it upon themselves to rearrange the transactions so the larger debit came out first. To me this is simply fraudulent activity. They arranged it so we would now have XXXX fees to pay. I called Regions customer service and told them I wanted to change my account number and opt out of overdraft protection so I could attempt to fix the damage done. The lady I spoke with assured me that since my account was already negative I would not have to change my account number. I was told Regions would not allow additional charges to be made to the account. At this point I was n't sure if the reason was because I told them I no longer wanted overdraft protection or the fact I was already negative. Either way, I believed what customer service had told me. Sure enough, XXXX/XXXX/2016, XXXX more charges were allowed to go through to my account. I have been in email contact with Regions customer service where they are trying to accuse me instead of taking responsibility for what their customer service told me. I called customer support and I was told the checks would be returned and a {$36.00} fee ( same as their overdraft fee ) would apply to my account for the returned checks. This is after I was told no more charges would be allowed through to my account. I wrote a responding email to customer support explaining to them their mistakes, again, and I will only be paying the {$140.00} and {$36.00} fee. They declined to offer assistance.

Problems caused by my funds being low

Bank account or service: Other bank product/service

Complaint: I currently have a XXXX XXXX XXXX Account with Regions Bank. 3 months ago I opted out of Standard Overdraft Protection because I am on a fixed income only receiving {$650.00} per month SSI benefits. I have contacted the companies that I had recurring monthly fees but my requests have been in vain. I have been charged for overdraft payments and fees which leave me financially incapable of paying for the basic necessities. I thought that opting out of the Standard Overdarft Protection would result in insufficient funds for anyone trying to send a payment through.

Problems caused by my funds being low

Bank account or service: Checking account

Complaint: As a working mother, my family has banked with regions for several years now. I do n't recall them asking, but I know they switched our statements to online only, and we no longer receive paper statements. My husband nor I have had much experience managing finances and live paycheck to paycheck to make ends meets. Recently when I needed information, I found our online statements online ( not easy to find since I use mobile banking per the bank 's request ), and realized my family had paid the bank thousands and thousands of dollars in overdraft fees and fines each month. We barely get by as it is, and I was sickened to see that my trusted financial institution had not only been charging me multiple fees for single transactions, but allowed this outrageous amount of fees to be charged month after month. Never once did we receive any letters indicating we were incurring so many charges, never once did we receive a phone call and I honestly do n't remember even signing up for overdraft protection. I see now its a button you can click, but its not very clear and would be easy to click and forget about. The only time I recall intentionally signing up for any overdraft protection was when we had a savings account linked, which was closed years ago. I am now learning to budget and take control over my finances, but feel taken advantage of by Regions and feel it should have put a limit on the maximum number of fees, or turned off the overdraft service ( which I am not 100 percent certain I ever signed up for. ) In XXXX my family paid {$6400.00} in overdraft fees to Regions, in XXXX my family paid almost {$11000.00} in fees to Regions and in XXXX these past few months alone, we 've already paid {$4000.00} in fees. I will be moving banks in the near future to an institution that I feel is a trusted partner, and an institution that will counsel and advise families like mine, scraping by on how to better budget and manage finances. Instead I feel Regions robbed me blind and unfortunately I was not wise enough to realize it before now. Regions has not helped my family achieve our financial goals, instead they have stolen them from me and my children. There are weeks we scrape by to make ends meet, but that I now know is in large part to Regions deceitful and manipulative policies.

Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Mortgage: Conventional fixed mortgage

Complaint: My husband and I purchased a double wide mobile home in 2001 which was put on the land we had previously financed with a loan from Regions Bank. We have been paying on this loan since, with a 7.34 % interest rate. When the interest rate was lowered, we tried to refinance the loan thru Regions and was told that they do not do mortgage loans. I have tried refinancing thru the HARP program and was told they do n't refinance mobile homes. We are retired with a fixed income and paying XXXX a month mortgage payment to Regions. We have considered a reverse mortgage but do not know if that is a good move. My son has a home on the land and we were hopeful to be able to leave the land to him and a daughter. At this point I do n't if we can continue to pay the mortgage as prices keep rising.
