Synovus Bank Bank Account Or Service Complaint

Checking account Account opening, closing, or management

Synovus Bank Bank account or service department,

Checking account Account opening, closing, or management Georgia

I opened a checking account with - ( Synovus ) as they were offering a $200.00 new account bonus and fee free checking. There were a few stipulations which I met such as Online bill pay, debit card use and Direct Deposit. I indicated at the time of account opening that my Direct Deposit would be via an ACH from my other bank account as I was self employed. Iwas told that this would be okay. Indeed, I use this same method to make ACH deposits to another account I have so as to avoid monthly fees. On the first full statement cycle, I was charged a $ - monthly fee. I indicated at that time that if the bank would not honor their commitment then I would close the account. I was delayed in closing this account as there were a couple of pending debit transactions. Subsequent to that, I was charges additional fees because they would not close the account in a timely fashion. I have asked the bank to : 1 ) Refund all of the fees charged to me on this account as they did not fulfill the agreement with me about the bonus and the fees. If fact they charged additional fees. 2 ) Amend their promotional documents to clearly state that ACH does not count as a direct deposit. The bank also needs to train their employees such that they clearly understand the promotional requirements and can communicate same potential customers.
