UMB Bank Bank Account Or Service Complaint

Other bank product/service Account opening, closing, or management Maryland

We have a Health Savings Account ( HSA ) with UMB Bank. In - 2015 we tried to contribute to the account by electronic transfer. The UMB website froze during the process, so we started the transfer again. The bank then processed - transfers resulting in an excess contribution. We contacted the bank about the excess contribution and they said we had to mail or fax a form for the refund and a $15.00 fee would be charged and a refund would sent by check. We submitted the form and about a week later the account was debited for the over contributed amount plus interest and the fee was deducted from the account. We waited 10 days and did no receive a check. We contacted the bank and were told that a check had not yet been issued and contact them again at the end of the month if we did not receive the check because they were busy and can take up to thirty days to refund the money. Meanwhile no interest is being paid to us on the amount. They were not too busy to debit the account and charge a fee! A business practice to remove money from an account and the hold it for up to 30 days without interest seems unfair and poor treatment of their customers.
