Checking or savings account· Problem caused by your funds being lowTX

Over a period of several months, the bank placed extended holds of XXXX to XXXX weeks on all business checks I deposited, including legitimate client payments. During these holds, my account continued to process normal automatic business payments. Because the deposited funds were not made available in a reasonable timeframe, these payments were processed against an unavailable balance, resulting in overdraft fees. Between XXXX and XX/XX/year>, overdraft fees totaling {$660.00} were charged. I contacted customer service multiple times to resolve this issue. In my most recent interaction, customer service acknowledged that the overdraft fees were caused by the banks deposit hold practices and informed me that the fees would be refunded. However, no refund was issued. After following up again, customer service directed me to the branch XXXX.

Checking or savings account· Managing an accountTX

XXXX XXXX has placed a total operational profile freeze on my business account, completely restricting my access to a {$60.00} cash deposit and a {$29000.00}. business check. The {$29000.00} check has fully cleared the paying institution, and I have provided the bank with undeniable transaction evidence proving its legitimacy. Furthermore, my business is exclusively and legally registered with the Texas Secretary of State. XXXX XXXX XXXX risk department explicitly stated they are maintaining this freeze based entirely on an informal XXXX search of an unrelated website. By withholding my cash deposit past 24 hours and freezing cleared funds based on an internet search rather than official state registries, XXXX XXXX is in direct violation of Federal Reserve Regulation CC ( S 229.10 and 229.13 ). This improper banking practice is actively paralyzing my business operations. I am a new small business who does sub contracting work to install roofs.

My husband and I have a joint checking account with Zions Bank, and we currently have exactly {$2100.00} frozen in it. We desperately needed to send {$1500.00} of our funds to help with a critical family emergency. When we attempted to make this transfer, the system blocked us and completely locked us out of the account, freezing our entire balance. Before trying to move our money, we had even called Zions Bank to inform them of our situation, and their representatives assured us it would be fine. When we called back this morning after the block, we were treated terribly. They refused to unblock our account over the phone and callously told us to just go into a physical branch, completely ignoring the fact that we are currently out of the country in XXXX and can not visit a branch. Our family members are suffering, and Zions Bank is keeping our own hard-earned money XXXX when it is needed most. They are causing severe distress to my household.
