Sign on bonus scam

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I was told when joining online that I would receive a $200 bonus after 2 months of keeping a positive balance and having some direct deposits, 3 months later I called to see what was the problem and was told today the direct deposits had to be from the government "pension" " social security" etc. I opened the account solely for ebay transactions and told the person I spoke with originally that fact. Avoid key bank they have scammed me out of $200

So I went to deposit my disability check knowing I was negative 133 bucks no big deal I've had it happen with other banks that I used well I go to the atm and no money insufficient funds so I drive back around and go back in side and ask to withdraw money clerk lady was acting like I was able to then all of a sudden she says I can't get any money until tomorrow got the manager involved and that just made it worse the manager at the keybank in mount vernon wa called me a liar didn't care that I couldn't pay my bills or that if I didn't pay my rent I'd be homeless she simply didn't care and it made me not want to bank there anymore or have anything to do with keybank at all.

For the 3rd time they let a company withdraw 99.00 without my permission I was told on the second time that they blocked them and they could never do it again but guess what they did it again.

well they are saying they need to investigate and if it goes well I should get my money back in 7 to 10 business days to which I replied but you said this would never happen again and it did so why am I penalized for something you guys said would never happen again and now this is the 3rd time I have had this issue so why would I have to wait for some investigation it is you guys fault for letting them charge me again when you key bank said it will never happen again.

Original review Nov 10, 2021
So Total AV for the third time took 99.00 out of my account and the first time I contacted total av and they refunded the 99.00. The second time it happened I called key bank and they said we will block it so they cannot do it again well guess what they did it again. I called key bank asking to talk to a supervisor and the lady said oh the super says and I am like what she won't even talk to me? she like no and I am like what kind of company is this when you cannot even get some help for something they said would never happen again.

Resolved: Bank IVR drives me to drink!

Updated by user Oct 15, 2021

initiated deposit of bonus the system failed to make.

Original review Oct 15, 2021
I tried to find out why a bonus redemption for my credit card was not deposited to my checking account. I called the customer service number and was following prompts for the next seven minutes, having to enter my account number twice and my social security number last four digits three times.

Even when pressing for "Card stolen" the menu just bounced me back to the welcome announcement. There is no way to bypass all those options and get to a live person. I don't remember what number I pressed, which eventually got me to a real person.

It's one thing to streamline the procedure and let people get information online without bothering a person, but there should be a limit to the number of prompts one gets forced to endure. On the other hand, one has the option of not continuing doing business with such a company

Preferred solution: I'd like the company to review its IVR protocols and offer customers access to a live customer representative.

User's recommendation: Check out customer service before becoming a customer!

Service Charge

Needed a cashiers check from a personal account. Key Bank charged $8.00 for the check. Branch Manager (Montgomery Road, Cincinnati, Ohio) told me they could not waive the fee even though it had a substantial balance. Lousy attitude. I told them to close the account. I'll put my money elsewhere.

My friends card was blocked by Key Bank

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
He called all day holding on for hours at a time only to get a message saying he cant be helped and being disconnected. The customer service is disgusting and when you do get through to a representative they transfer you to another representative to hold on for another hour to be disconnected with no resolution at all. Now his money is tied up during this pandemic. With things the way they are this is a big inconvenience for him and his family I give key bank a triple thumbs down. He was informed by the customer service rep that He also given a number that is not used anymore by this company. He was transferred 1 hour and 36 minutes ago to risk management and still no help. Please beware of this bank.

I've submitted a complaint more than two weeks ago. Did receive a call but was at a poor time. Ask this person to return the call later. Nobody every called. So I called the number twice or three time and found out it was a person name Darlene. Left at least two messages with my number. Today still no return call. I assume there are millions of complaints, so the executive branch is just super overloaded, or they don't really care. Also, customer service was a little helpful, but I need to wait two to three weeks for a print out or new statement. This is 100% Key Bank computer, or employee error.
