Regions Bank - Front entrance

Regions Bank

Yes, I am new to Regions Bank. No, I did not join for a big bonus sign up amount. I joined because…read moreI needed a local bank and Regions seemed a good fit for me and my needs. I had to call customer service when it was taking a while to get my debit card and the lady I spoke with went above and beyond to help me. I ended up going to a location that is open on Saturdays to get a debit card right from the location. Gabriel Baez happened to be at the Sanford, FL location and he was wonderful! Very nice, very accommodating and professional and I could not be happier! Thank you Gabriel for being so wonderful!

"Who wants to open a new bank account?" (Barely-stifled yawns, with an eye-roll)…read more "Who wants $400?" (Hands shoot up enthusiastically, mine included) And so it is that I found myself in this, oh, let's call it a 'money trap'. The offer came in the mail, with a special code (authentic) and several hoops to jump through (minimum deposit by a certain date after opening, opt for paperless). Having been around the bend enough times to know that I could be at risk of doing a lot for nothing, I had my ducks all in a row and checked all the boxes (or so I thought). First sign of trouble was that I couldn't create an online ID after opening the account. When I called, the agent all but laughed at me (at least it felt that way), saying it takes time, dude (to which I wanted to say, REALLY, in this day and age?). When finally I could access it online, I made a transfer from another bank - which got rejected 3 days later! In the mail, I received a statement saying I was over-drawn by $4. So off I go on the phone again. This time, I was told that the $4 was for paper statements, which I couldn't opt out of because I couldn't get an online ID. I was also told that I had to go into the branch (the very essence of "online banking convenience" apparently being the Regions motto!). Two days after jumping through that hoop, just when the deadline was coming up, I thought I'd call to make sure everything was now kosher. The agent told me, no I didn't qualify for the sign-up bonus because the offer had expired!!! In the next hour and a half, I was transferred, disconnected, credentialled time and again (even though I was on the same call), got into loops with no apparent exit... Thankfully, I finally got Myesha, who patiently heard the whole saga of my frustration, and would not let go until she set things right for me. So zero stars for Regions and their unimaginably stupid 'systems': the stars are totally for a human who treated me like a human.

This is the worst banking I've ever had to deal with. You cannot be one day late on your credit…read morecard without them charging a $41 late fee and there's no talking to somebody who is from India. I requested a manager and she was not trying to work with me when I explained to her, this is a holiday, and the banks are closed. They have no sympathy for people stay away from this credit card. Terrible terrible service.

**1 STAR - BEWARE OF SYNCHRONY BANK'S MISLEADING 0% FINANCING!**…read more I would strongly caution anyone considering financing through Synchrony Bank, especially when purchasing furniture from Living Spaces. In November 2022, I purchased $5,873.29 worth of furniture from Living Spaces and was offered what was presented to me as **0% financing**. What was NEVER clearly explained during the sales process was that this was actually a deferred-interest promotion, meaning that if the balance wasn't paid in full by a specific date, ALL the interest dating back to the original purchase would be charged retroactively. Had this been properly explained, I would have paid off the balance before the promotion expired. Fast-forward, and despite making payments consistently and having already paid essentially the entire original purchase price, I discovered the following: - **Original purchase: $5,873.29** - **Remaining principal: $2,231** - **Interest charges: $3,814** - **Interest rate: As high as 34.99%** That's nearly $4,000 in interest on a furniture purchase that was advertised to me as 0% financing! What makes this even worse is Synchrony Bank's complete unwillingness to work with customers. I spent countless hours speaking with representatives, supervisors, and escalating complaints, only to be repeatedly denied any adjustment or goodwill credit. Their customer service makes it incredibly difficult to reach anyone with actual authority to resolve an issue. To make matters worse, Synchrony sent me a letter stating that my account had a zero balance in November 2022, despite my having opened the account and financed the purchase that same month. This only added to my concerns about their recordkeeping and customer service. After researching Synchrony Bank, I discovered numerous other consumer complaints describing remarkably similar experiences with deferred interest and unexpected charges. **My biggest issue is the disconnect between Living Spaces and Synchrony Bank.** Customers are sold on the appeal of 0% financing without, in my experience, a clear explanation of the enormous financial consequences if the promotional balance isn't paid off by the deadline. I take responsibility for my financial obligations, but I also expect transparency, honest disclosures, and reasonable customer service. Unfortunately, my experience with Synchrony Bank has been the complete opposite. After exhausting every avenue I could to resolve this fairly, Synchrony refused to reverse even a portion of the interest. **My advice: AVOID SYNCHRONY BANK FINANCING.** If a retailer offers you 0% financing through Synchrony, read every word of the agreement and understand exactly what happens when the promotion expires. What sounds like a great financing offer can turn into thousands of dollars in unexpected interest. I will never finance another purchase through Synchrony Bank and would strongly encourage others to think twice before doing so.

Ive been going to this amscot for years. Lately, there is a very cynical woman named Tanya, asking…read moremy mom and I questions about the western unions that we receive from my father who is a travel nurse who works out of state to pay our bills. He does overtime and sends us money in the morning so he can go sleep after his double shift. Tanya has had the audacity to ask us on the 1st of the month and through the 10th of the month about what bills we have to pay. She gave us a pamphlet but nowhere in the pamphlet does it say she should ask what the money is for. I have to pay my rent and other bills and this woman had the nerve to stall us and even laugh when we were telling her that she was discriminating us for. My dad has been married to my mom for over 42 years and has consistently sent my mom money to help her pay the bills because my mom and I take care of our bipolar and autistic brother, her son who has special needs. She cant work, is about to retire and my dad helps her pay the bills. I said I had the proof of my bills on my phone and she asked to see them. Like, in what world does a transaction of westetn union require so much. And then she, in an authoritative way, said all amscots would do the same. I had to go to another spot and they said that what we went through is odd because western union does the heavy lifting of questions to the sender. No questions were asked about what the money was for at the other establishment. and Tanya claims she was asked why we were receiving high amounts of money in the 1st of the month but the lady who helped me in another western union place DID not. While we were dealing with Tanya, a girl named Lulu, I think came to give cheap excuses and were trying to stall us, for what, i dont know. My mom has been receiving western union from my dad for years. And its always for bills and groceries. Everything we went through with Tanya, I recorded and im appalled by her cynicism and blatant lies. We are a Latino family who has lived in altamonte springs for over 20 years. I dont know what her deal was but she lied through her teeth. And she needs to not judge, because we have an autistic and bipolar man to take care of and our life isnt easy.

I love that Amscot is 24 hours! It is located right by my house, within walking distance, so it is…read morevery convenient. I mostly use the ATM, although I am not crazy about the high withdrawal fees. I also wish that Amscot offered services such as PayPal, Cashapp, and Venmo cash reloads. They offer Go Bank and Go2Bank reloads as well as Western Union transfers, but the fees are very high to use those services. Other than that, I recommend it for your ATM needs!
