Academy Bank — Card doesn’t work.. Ongoing problem

I had to get a new debit card since mine expired. Nothing but headaches since. It would work for a bit then stopped..would work at some places not others. I try to add my card to my YouTube account and to send money through messenger and Apple Pay but it says card is not supported. I call and they say nothing they can do. They say the company is going through issues and this is a common occurrence and nothing can do until they get it started. I find that crazy and a bit unbelievable that a company would have a system that messes with how most people pay for items throughout the day. I am seriously considering just switching banks.

    Academy Bank — collections

    My husband had an account with Academy Bank in 2015. It was closed when overdrafted, and turned over to collections. Since we discovered it was in Chex systems we have tried to pay off the balance and clear the acct. We call academy over and over, they transfer us to people that can't find the balance, or don't know what theyre even doing. We have spent weeks trying to clear this up, and people at academy are rude and extremely unhelpful.

      Academy Bank — atm

      I tired taking 220.00 out of my account the money was never dispensed. I called customer service the representative laughed and told me that I have to file a dispute. I filed a dispute it's been over a week I have yet to receive a provisional credit. This is just the worse bank I have ever dealt with. Hold times are hours. I really feel like this is fraudulent they are doing this same exact thing to several customers!!!

          Academy Bank — credit card service

          This bank is a joke. They occasionally have better interest rates than other local banks, so unless you're trying to invest in the long haul...stay away and go to a bank that's not located inside a Wal-Mart.

          I had a credit builder CC in which I deposited $200. This was for small purchases to get the cycle going and eventually raise my credit. I was then charged $45 for paper statements that I thought I switched to paperless online. After two hours on hold and being transferred 5 times, I was told by a manger that I should have been checking two different websites, one for my credit card balance where I paid every month (which was paperless) and one for the bank itself.

          I have three other CC's that send me one bill, use one website and I'm sure the majority of the world is the same way.

          Instead of charging my CC for the paper statements to simplify the process and just let me pay it off with my balance, the bank removed money from my original deposit which then ended up maxing out my credit card. I had a balance of $130.00, when the credit limit dropped to $155. This then red flagged trans Union and I dropped 40 points on my credit score.

          This is a shady move Academy Bank, and I will be letting people know how you operate. I WAS a customer since 2011, now I will make sure you lose customers moving forward.

          By the way...You can keep the money, I don't want it back! I'll give my money to a real bank institution

            Academy Bank — debit card transaction

            On may 2, 2019 I noticed a charge of $98 on my account. I called they transfers me to the fraud department. They told me that it happened that morning and it was not paid yet that it would be credited back to my account my debit card was counciled and I was given a new one. They Told me what was charged and where. I noticed that this charge has been added back to my account.
            I called again and asked why this was on my accountant again. They told me that the company said that I was responsible for this charge which is [censored]. Where was this dress sent to at the time this happened I was in a federal halfway house. My bank account was monitored buy the feds. I am not responsible for this charge. I would like to keep my account with your bank but I am not going to pay it. If this is the best way I'm going to be treated I want to close my account. I hope we can resolve this matter.

                Academy Bank — chex systems

                Academy Bank kept an acct open. Then reported my acct to chex sys stating I owed them $82. I have since paid them that money, but 18 months later, they're still reporting to chex systems for same amount. They will not help. I've called many times, and I get directed over to collections, but collections Never picks up the phone. Only voicemail. No calls are returned. What a nightmare bank!! The worst. I can't open an account anywhere because of them. I will not give themn anymore of my hard earned money. I've already given them 82. That should've never been charged.
                Payments were done January [protected]... stop ruining lives!!!

                  Academy Bank — piece of garbage that's so far behind the times

                  Good job of ur system locking out my gfs card while she is on vacation. Yes because nothing absolutely nothing happens past 7 pm CEntral Standard Time. I mean people don't go out to dinner. People don't catch late night movies and all flights arrive prior to this time.

                  This isn't 2003. If ur system is flagging suspicious activity at all hours of the day and evening then you better make sure you have a toll free number available that is equally accessible! It's absolutely inexcusable that someone with 10 k in her savings cannot check into her room because of an automated system flag.

                    Academy Bank — secured card

                    I deposited a total amount of $300.00 on March 6th, and on the 8th it was cleared. Today March 11th I'm showing on my account there is a pending transaction of $300.00 I haven't even received the card yet? Why are you guys stealing money? I don't owe your company money. This is not a good first experience, and won't be recommending anyone too this bank in the future. I feel like I've been robbed. And I will be contacting my card that I used too deposit those funds too receive a refund if this is not corrected within 24hrs.

                      Academy Bank — refund lost

                      We purchased an airline ticket..5 days later cancelled it and were refunded in full. Academy Bank has "lost" this refund. We have provided the ARN# of the money being wired into our account yet Academy Bank denies receiving it. It's been 27 days and still no money deposited into our account. Academy states we need to dispute the original purchase rather than doing research as to what they did with our cash. This was on a debit card...cash taken immediately...cash returned to Academy but never to the customer. Can you say FRAUD!!
