BBVA Compass Bank Account Or Service Complaint

Savings account Account opening, closing, or management

BBVA Compass Bank account or service department,

Savings account Account opening, closing, or management Texas

Earlier this week I opened a new money market account online. My account is a joint account with my wife ; however, the process to open the new account online included me providing my driver 's license, and none of my wife 's information. Several days later, the new account appeared online, in their online banking system but did not display the interest rate ( likely under 1 % ). I called the - number to speak with a customer service agent and they advised me that I was not on the account. I explained that the account was opened by me using my driver 's license. Also, I had authenticated with them with the password on my account. Since I was logged into their online banking portal, I could provide complete account number for all - of my accounts, including a checking, - savings, and a mortgage account. I asked to speak to a supervisor or manager so I could understand the protocol around authentication and account ownership. I was once again advised that I do not own or have access to the new savings account opened earlier this week. I asked who opened it and they again stated they were not allowed to discuss the account. I will likely be closing my account after the rude treatment and lack of service. I 'm not sure if there are regulations which protect me from not being able to get access to my money or account information, but the whole experience just seems backwards. It is sad to end a banking relationship with a bank I have trusted for over 10 years ; and also it is annoying that I will have to reroute a handful of auto-payments for utilities, etc to a new financial institution. Oh well, I guess BBVA has too many customers, and their cost of customer acquisition must be very very low. Good for them, bad for me.
