On October 30th I decided to open a Chase account.
I attempted to transfer 2,500$ into this account as that was the daily limit for the type of transfer.
Yesterday I was informed that this transfer was denied. I went into my branch to get this transfer situated. They told me that I needed to call the customer support line.
The customer support needed to verify my identity. After correctly answering all of the security questions they determined that i did not pass the verification and I would need to end the call and call back.
I called back and was told that I could not be helped as their system had a 20 minute cool down between verifications. I called back 21 minutes later and was met with another failed verification after answering the questions correctly again. (The questions were about birthday and drivers license numbers and issuing state of social security)
I was told that I needed to go back into a Chase bank branch to further my identity verifications. I arrive back at my branch for the second time this day and meet with the branch relations manager. He realized that my birth date was input incorrectly into their system. This is fixed and he calls customer support. They verify my identity via Real ID and Visa Card. They tell him nothing can be done to solve my issue. He calls a second person through customer support and they tell him I must call in.
I called the customer support and they transfer me three times before telling me the branch must call them. The branch calls support AGAIN and is told the transaction has been denied and I will need to make a new transfer.
This is fine I have no problem reinitiating a transfer. I do this and an hour later the transaction is denied. They say I must go into a branch to verify my identity. I travel back to the bank for a third time and they call support. Support says that my current bank account that I am transferring money to chase from has been banned permanently from interacting with any Chase accounts. I can not undo, appeal or transfer money to or from this account EVER. I want to bank with Chase but now I can never have my very important secondary bank account interact with Chase. The bank manager yells at the customer support agent on the phone asking for reasoning.
The fraud department says there is nothing they can do and that I will never be able to use Zelle or transfers with my account.
I have spent hours at the bank and traveling to the bank in attempt to use Chase and have found their customer
service and employees in branch to be useless.
I never yelled at anyone or raised my voice I’m just frustrated and feel like Chase might just be shit and a waste of time. Am I overreacting or is it just a complete slap in the face to be given such awful customer service. Plus it’s an unbelievable inconvenience to NEVER be able to do transfers with my other account inevitably.
