Here’s the problem with your complaint. Any bank can do business or NOT do business with whoever they choose. They don’t have to provide a reason for closing accounts.

Personally, I feel that’s wrong. But that’s how it is.

I have filed a complaint in Arizona with the Arizona Department of Financial Institutions, Office of Senator John McCain, Office of the Arizona Attorney General and the OCC. All of the complaints were forwarded to the State Banking Department in Alabama where BBVA headquarter is located. My corporation is licensed and bonded and I pay my taxes and my account was opened in 2004 with no NSF history and I always have a decent balance in my account.

I’m not sure why I’d want BBVA investigated for money laundering. ALL major banks are run by criminals. Why would I care if they are money laundering?

Isn’t it more important to ensure that AMERICAN banks treat their customers fairly?

Compass Bank was an AMERICAN bank before they were purchased by BBVA. It sucked.

Wow, that is weird.

And yes, it IS a hassle to change banks, especially for a business.

I just finally decided to go with Mission Bank, our local bank with only 3 branches. So far so good.

I just received a letter from Compass Bank stating that my business account will be closed 30 days from the date of the letter. No explanation on why the decision was made. I opened the account in 2003 and I have never wrote a bad check nor my account went negative. I called the 1877-297-8803 from the letter, I was told by the representative that a lot of letters went out notifying customers that they are closing their accounts but no one knows the reasons behind the decision. I have a lot of auto pays set up and now I have to start all over and my business has to be placed on hold until everything is re-organized. Way to go Compass.

I totally agree with you. The problems are systemic and the government is bought and paid for by the major banks.

But there’s a bigger issue, the fact that it’s all about CONTROLLING the people. In part it’s the redistribution of assets from the working people to the mega corporations and their major shareholders, but there’s also the total surveillance of the people, the tracking of every dollar and some businesses even refusing to accept cash anymore.

Scary, very scary.

These shared experiences sound pretty bad – But folks I gotta tell you;
compass ain’t got nothin’ on the gnarled, nightmarish mess of incompetency and confusion at CHASE Bank! I remember finalizing a mortgage there once…my mortgage was originally with another institution and Chase bought a bundle including mine. I’ll never darken Chase’s doors again.
Truth be told, these horror stories are indicative of a larger, systemic illness in the corporate banking industry. There’s too few owners & real bosses on the job and actually managing these branches; just a bunch of hungry little peons. There’s far too little competition between the top 4 or 5 American banks. And worst of all – there is a greedy, sick, symbiotic relationship between these poorly run bank giants and the U.S Gov’t. -So that no matter what they do, the U.S. taxpayer will (by force) bail them out of all their troubles.

I have had it with Compass, today was the last straw!! I had made a deposit the day before in cash, I recieved my receipt and had posted in to my account via online, so I presumed everything was good. I WAS WRONG! The next day I decide to log in, and come to find that my money had been withdrawn and the deposit that had been made, wasnt even showing. How is that, I call the 1800 number and they did not help at all, I had to go to the branch and two people could not figure out what happened, and why my deposit had not posted according to the receipt the deposit was made before cut off time… I am stil waiting for a response.
