BBVA checking? that's what they're calling it

Please, please do not waste your hard earned dollars here. The only one earning money in triplicate is this bank. Whoa Nelly, I haven't seen oopsie fees like this since the 1980's...

and they WILL NOT WORK WITH YOU. Bank here if:

you enjoy getting machines

talking to Customer Service Toll number who will dismiss a mere pittance of what they are racking up daily on your account (you will never catch up)

You will get referred to a "Banker" who is in Sales; and/or has not fully learned his job yet.

You will also get referred to "the bank where your account originated from" (GREAT LOCAL SERVICE) even if it's over 350 miles away.

FDIC, please investigate.

Dear Smallest of Dickus

Not if what they do is hold funds. The reason this bank will not last is that is does not work with customers. Call me after it closes and your applying for unemployment.

The original poster obviously suffers from some little man syndrome here. How can he be expected to predict the outcome of a major corporation when he can't even manage his own paltry finances. @Biggus Dickus, you hit the nail on the head. Don't pay attention to the snowflake whose net worth is less than one of my quarterly bonuses.

BBVA customer lack of service

If you deposit in a savings account, even with cashiers checks, it might take 10 days to clear. If you try and close your account it might take 20 or more phone calls, 10 or more faxes and hours on hold talking to people speaking from a script and they all have different answers to questions. Please don't even think about this bank. I think the federal regulators and the FTC and the BBB should shut them down. I'm leaving no stars, if it forces me to leave one to post my comment, I will have to do so. I've also contacted the WA. State A/G to file a complaint. My State Senators and Congress reps will also be notified. This bank is absolutely the worst company I've ever dealt with.

BBVA current employee

I am a current employee of BBVA Compass Bank, and have been in banking since 2003. Never have I worked for a bank with such an aggressive sales minded outlook. Customers are no more than dollar signs when they walk through the doors. There are sales goals for everything imaginable, even doing demonstrations on the mobile app for customers.. No joke...What in the world! This is Wells Fargo the sequel, There is a huge turnover rate, because this isn't a job, its a sweat shop... Only a matter of time before the Government steps in...

BBVA person assisting in activating new debit card

I spoke with Han, I believe his employee reference number was 608. You are welcome to listen to the call recording. He was hard to understand and even though I had answered several of the questions he asked. He stated he could not activate my new card. He was asking me questions like what was last deposit amount? Who was the last person you wrote a check too and the amount of our last check transaction? He continued to ask questions that I would have had to have a bank statement right in front of me to answer. After all this he could not activate the card. I asked for supervisor and was put on hold for an extended amount of time, probably hoping I would hang up. As this was going on, my wife was on her cellphone and the BBVA app and was able to active my card. Just wanted to let you know your app is great but phone customer service is ridiculous.
Regards,
T Fielder

BBVA overdraft fees

I made a deposit to cover a late transaction on 4-29-19, deposit did not hit the account until maybe an hour after the transaction was made. There was not overdraft fee posted on my account that day so I proceeded with utilizing the remaining balance in my account. Almost 24 hrs later an overdraft fee was posted to my account for that transaction, causing my account to go in the negative with on pending transaction remaining. My would be in the green had that transaction not been posted ( late) I might add, now it appears I'll have too pay two overdraft fees.Thats seems completely one sided with them being allowed to lag in there transaction time but when it's on the other side you penalized for almost 80 dollars when you did deposit the appropriate amounts into the account.i feel completely taken advantage of and have lost complete trust in my bank, I do not think this is right and should not be allowed to take place over just minutes difference. I am requesting any resources available to take the proper steps to prevent this from happening to my self or any future customers of this company. Thank you for you time and I can be reached at [protected] or [protected]@yahoo.com for any questions regarding this incident.

BBVA checking account servicing

I had a business account with BBVA Compass Bank, which was always in good standing for over four years and was set up to receive direct deposits from many payers.

BBVA Compass Bank closed my business account unexpectedly without giving me a reason, and disrupted my business operations.

I am assuming that they did so because I was not interested to get a loan from them that they visited with me to try to sell me on several occasion and I did not use their credit card.

BBVA Compass Bank representatives declined to give me any reason for why they closed my account.

BBVA account permanently frozen after lost check was reported

Over the weekend I misplaced a blank check, possibly stolen out of my purse, while I was on vacation. I immediately reported this to BBVA compass fraud and investigations department. I was told that my account would be frozen at that time until I choose to unfreeze it or close it permanently and open a new one. I was also told that all electronic debits for existing bills would still process electronically. Not the case! My car payment came back declined due to frozen account now compounding with late charges and interest rate! I called BBVA to unfreeze the account and was told no, that I couldn't, that it is permanently frozen and that I will have to go to the branch and open a new one. Now all my ebills are bouncing, my credit is screwed, having no control over my own account. All I wanted to do was to void one tiny little check. Other banks simple would have voided the check. Now I have to get a written letter from the bank to try and save my credit.

BBVA branch manager, and employees at northport alabama branch

Went in to bank about getting a loan to pay off bills. Asked loan officer to do a joint application. He pulled my social number and asked if i lived in a different state had wrong social number and asked me again for my social and gave it to him again. He said he was going to call us the next business day but never called. So i stop by office to check on loan and the branch manager talked to me and said we was declined. But my wifes information was not on the loan so he was supposed to add her and get bank with us but he still has not contacted us about the matter so i am very disappointed and would like to have answers.

BBVA closed account for no reason and holding on to the funds

The worst decision in my life to have my funds direct deposit to this bank! The closed my account holding my money hostage, telling me that I have to go into the branch to talk to them, but I am in Washington stat where there isn't a local branch! Every time I call nobody can resolve my issue all telling me they can not talk about it over the phone! What kind of reason is that! BBVA is a fraud!

BBVA credit card services

I recently received a BBVA credit card with an $8, 000 limit shortly after my wife opened a new business so I used this card and many others heavily. I ran this card near to its limit and then within the next 30 days payed it down to $1, 300 and all other cards to near ZERO obviously demonstrating my ability to pay my bills.

Within 10 days of my last payment to BBVA, you reduced my line of credit to only $2, 200 Well, you were the first card that I always used now you will be the last, I will pay off your balance next month and put your card in my drawer.

BBVA service charges on an account that was closed 5 months ago.

I closed an account in March 2018 and get an overdraft notice in August 2018? I had a verbal statement from the teller that the account was in fact closed. I took the cashiers check to another bank that same day. There has been no activity on an account that was closed. If there was, that's fraud. This needs to be resolved ASAP by Compass Bank. Customer service is poor and this is an example of why I changed banks.

BBVA poor customer service and bad practices

5/22/18 I was hit with three overdraft fees despite having plenty of money in my account to cover all withdrawals. When I contacted customer service, they had completely different numbers than I had on my online statement. I pointed out that when those three bills were paid, I had made deposits and transferred money into the account so that I had a cushion. They claim that my account was already overdrawn when those withdrawals were taken. My records show that I had more than $300 more than was required to pay all three bills. They were unwilling to do anything to help despite the fact that even currently my account is in the green. Tough to justify overdraft fees when the account has a positive amount.

As for a resolution, I just want my $114 refunded so that I can move on to a bank that cares about its customers.

I'm having a similar problem. I deposited money into my account through the ATM on 05/19/19 to cover a $62 autopay that was scheduled to be submitted the following day. According to my deposit receipt, the money that I deposited was added to my bank balance. I called the following afternoon, & the bank's automated system said that my balance was over $112, with the balance available for withdrawal just over $50 (that would've been after the autopay posted). I made a couple of minor purchases totaling about $4; then got hit with 2 overdraft fees for those purchases, even though the NSF card notification & my bank statement both show a positive balance. I had another small autopay that would've been covered had it not been for those fees, & I got an overdraft fee on it as well. My paycheck was direct deposited the next day; but b/c of the fees, several other bills received overdrafts. The total in fees was $266. When I called, Maria gave me some garbage about the $62 payment being submitted before my deposit posted; even though, according to both my bank statement & their automated system, my deposit was made, & posted, before the payment came out.

BBVA atm

I'm furious with this bank. ATM is always down. I hate that every time I want to deposit or withdrawal money, I have to get off. Its very frustrating. I went on Monday and technicians were working on the atm so therefore I wasn't able to withdraw money. I went again today and it wasn't working . Its usually down twice a week so inconvenient. Then to make matters worst they took off the one inside the bank.

BBVA terrible compatibility with intuit mint

I am infuriated with this bank. They have absolutely terrible compatibility with Intuit Mint, which I used to manage credit cards, loans, payments, etc.

If I could drop a thousand curse words to their tech team I would, that is how frustrating this situation is, and it's making me want to completely switch to a different bank that has some tech competence when it comes to working with Intuit Mint.

For the love of God, all I want to do is connect my BBVA account with Mint, but all the time, it says "error signing in" and this is NOT an error on behalf of Intuit Mint. Not a single one of my other accounts have ever had a single issue, yet my BBVA account is virtually never not having a sign in issue!

Stop trying to "add an additional layer of security" and just make the bank work with the app! I shouldn't have to try to sign into the account every day and get the same security question 50 times in a row and have it still not work because you guys want to tout on about how secure you are. Other banks make it work, and if you won't, I will switch!

BBVA corporate business account

BBVA Bancomer (primarly in their Los Barriles, BCS Mexico branch) is the worst bank I have dealt with. They are arrogant, extremely slow and unorganized. Every time you visit their bank in Los Barriles, BCS Mexico to talk to one of their 10 plus bank attendants takes a minimum of 2 hours. Most of the time they have employees sitting around and playing on their cell phones. They also out of the blue decided that they would cancel all corporate dollar accounts and force the creation of new accounts which will require additional efforts and wasted time at the expense of others. They do not care either. They decide to limit the amount of cash withdrawls to a limit that is around $100 usd per day and forcing the client to pay their withdraw fee along with your home bank.

BBVA closing before scheduled hours

I recently went to a local Mobile, Al branch by the Bel-Air Mall. The hours of operation sign clearly say that they closed at 5pm. I get off work at 4:30 and arrived at the bank to address an unauthorized charge on my account. The doors were closed and locked at 4:45 pm. I am not clear of the type of protocol this office and it's management are operating under, however as a loyal customer, I am highly displease. We all would like to get off of work early, but we are required to work our entire shifts. I am sure no one's paycheck in that building will receive or received a 15 minute pay deduction from their checks. Saying all of that, from the telephone customer service reps and the ones who like to stop working early, it was just an overall bad experience and they need to be held accountable.

BBVA credit card

I am really frustrated with Bancomer customer service . I did a purchase of flight tickets to travel my country in advance on 06/19 of $19, 921. There was purchase of 2 tickets so it is $39, 842. Another purchase of flight with Aeromexico $9478 MXN pesos. I called Bancomer to put it on months with interest. They said there is a promotion going on and that it will be in month without interest and she told its done. I wanted to check before my billing date if that was applicable or not but i came to know it was not and there was no promotion. I speak little spanish then the call was transferred to another department where itwas supposed that executive speaks english. Well i explained her the situation and she was checking with supervisor and she told that she cannot check the history of the calls did with reference to my credit card.

But the call was cut and had to expain all again to another person which was supposed to speak english on that number but there they were available with spanish. I dont understand why there is such number if it does not have specific service available.

Different people speak different policies, some say yes we have promotion some say no we dont have. So what I need to do in such situation.

Also once I requested to block a purchase which was being charged from my credit card when ever they want and they said it was blocked that particular site to charge from my card even after that i see that its charging. it really frustration looks like it doesnot work what they say.

I am really tired of this service.
