USAA Savings Bank Account Or Service Complaint

USAA Savings Bank account or service department,

Checking account Making/receiving payments, sending money North Carolina

On -/-/2016 I ordered an Official Check from USAA ( a company with whom I have had a longstanding relationship ) with expedited shipping ( USAA does not specify method ). Five days later the check had still not arrived. No notification was given that the check had been issued or shipped or by what method, nor was any tracking information given. The bank representative on the phone used tracking information not available to me to inform me that the check had supposedly been delivered by - on -/-/16 ( the funds were not debited from my account until -/-/16 ). This Official Check - essentially a cash instrument - was sent by unsecured means with no signature required. No - package ever arrived at the designated address, or if it did it was left in an unsecured location and stolen. I requested that the bank stop payment on this check and immediately issue another check in the exact same amount to the exact same payee but the bank representative refused, stating that their policy prohibited doing so for 90 days - meaning of course that they preferred to leave open the possibility that the check would be fraudulently presented for payment. I escalated the matter to the CEO 's office, which responded promptly to my email ( - was the rep 's name - no last name given ), but then took several more days to " investigate '' before informing me that no exception to their policy could be made despite the fact that it was to both the bank 's and my benefit to stop payment. This is both inexplicable and unacceptable. Our interests in preventing fraud would seem to be aligned in this matter but the bank remains obstinate. Please intervene and assist. Thank you.
