So riddle me this? We deposit $100, 1stCB (First Convenience Bank) take $12 of it, plus the $5 statement fee. We then close the account and get charged a $25 closing fee. That's $42 in fees... to get our money back. That's one hell of a savings account.
DO NOT USE THIS PREDATORY BANK. WE MADE A COMPLAINT WITH THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE IN ARIZONA. SOMEONE SHOULD FILE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM FOR FRAUD.
First Convenience was my "local" bank. I had other, larger assets in online banks, but often kept 6 figures in my local account. They were so convenient I opened another account for other business, then two more accounts for my kids.
But things changed, and not for the better. The local branch manager was moved, people were shuffled around, the bank started adding predatory fees and rules were established that eroded the "convenience" part. I remember waiting 2 weeks for them to release an annual bonus check from my employer... an annual event that usually cleared in 3 days. They advertised cheap auto loans. I was going to buy a truck, applied for a loan, and was turned down as not "qualifying"... so I just paid cash for the truck.
The final straw was a call on a Saturday afternoon. Some security agent froze my sons account because he transferred money into my account. These "transfers" had been a common thing for years, as I transferred money to him and he later repaid it. As I spoke to the agent, she seemed intent on "getting me" and by the end of the call she had frozen my accounts as well. I was in a rage... and her final words didn't help... "Have a nice day".
My son, who was working, had to leave early and we both rushed to the local branch before it closed. The local branch said "They do this all the time". A few phone calls and it was fixed, but my son was short working hours and my Saturday was ruined.
I complained... got a sympathetic call from some corporate shill, but nothing better than "She was just doing her job". So I pulled my money, closed the accounts, and vowed never to do business with First Convenience Bank and to share my story of how very "inconvenient" this bank is to everyone looking for a local bank.
Needless to say, after 8+ years of using 1st convenience, I had enough. I no longer bank there and wouldn't recommend them to anyone.
Years. I've had more trouble with this bank than any
Other bank I've been with in 23 years. Every payday I
Have to call them. It all started when I first opened
My Acct. I cashed a check and deposited half of it. I
Used my card the next day to make an online payment
Which 1stCB (First Convenience Bank) charged me a fee of 34.95 for overdraft
Because they had failed to post it to my acct. I had to
Call and have them remove the charge which they did.
Then I'm supposed to have a $200 overdraft, when I
Went over the amount available by $86 they called me
All day long from an unavailable #, never left a
Message and continued to call all day for several days
Until I finally called the number back. When returning
The call I sat on hold for 25 min waiting, not knowing
Who it was I called because the number doesn't tell
You. This has happened twice in the 3 mo. I've been
With them. Finally I get to talk to someone and they
Inform me that I'm over-drafted, I asked why they
Couldn't just leave a message and they told me
Because it done by computer and they have no control
Of it. Then I get charged an acct. Handling fee of $11
Something because I've not used the ATM card I have
Not received yet 5 times in that month. THE LAST
STRAW- I use my debit card to make a $200 payment
On my cell bill, keep in mind I have a $200 overdraft. I
Get a letter in the mail stating they have charged me
$69.94 in handling fees for paying a $41.75 ATM
Withdrawal on 09/30/09, my current balance is $183
Something. Then another 34.95 for the $200 payment
Made to my cell phone which didn't go through until
10/02/09. Now they tell me the fees are because the
$200 was pending and not available. Now my
Question is if the $200 was pending and not available
Why did the ATM say my available balance was $183
And let me withdraw the $41.75? Not to mention the
$200 overdraft which my acct is currently over $124
Which would truly only be over drafted $57 if they had
Only charged me for what was truly NSF which was
The $200 that went through on 10/02/09. This
Banking institution SUCKS and I have since closed my
Account and moved my funds to a much more
Pleasant bank, NATIONAL BANK. If you're considering
This bank for any reason, I RECOMMEND YOU DON'T,
You'll just be having your money stolen from you.
There's no way to deposit checks or cash@ "YE OLD" ATM, saith thou?
Noooo!
Most systems are not touch screen, if you can read the cloudy, dim screen.
2. "OH, 1stCB (First Convenience Bank) GET THEY HUSTLE ON, THEY GET THEY HUSTLE ON!" OH, NO THEY DIDN'T... OH, YEAH THEY DID! THEY the "SPIRIT AIRLINES" of banks. THEY charge you for: money orders, using different ATMs, double up overdraft fees, and have additional return deposit fees ( on top of the overdraft fees). And maybe other fees, I don't know, because I've only had this acct for under 3 months.
3. Trying to get the bank to return money for unauthorized payment... that you can prove was unauthorized, is like pulling "TEETH" not just the bad teeth, but the good and healthy teeth with the bad teeth, without novocaine while using an industrial power drill!
4. They Drive thru services, THEY DRIVE THRU SERVICES... OMG! OMG! Why it take so long, when "YOU THE ONLY ONE THERE!" The "drive thru" should be "drive bye"... "BOY BYE... BYE FELICIA, BYE FELICIA!"
5. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I'm closing the account.
I could use "proper grammar," however, I think "proper Ebonics" better amplifies and express my emotions, in this case.
I had 12. In my account and 9.99 was pulled out for my son's abc mouse thingy. I havent used my card since sunday. And now im over drawn. And everytime i call they say its my fault well not this time because, i know for a fact that i didnt do it. Because its saying im over drawn 34. Yall are theives and liars. Always rude whenever i go up to the tellers and always rude on the phone. Also there is no such thing as maintenance fees. Yall loose money and take it out of ther peoples accounts. I havent overdrafted at all since maybe august of 2018, and now im over drafted. Seriously. I even got the overdraft protection ass*****
One Happy Customer!:)

You would Think 1stCB (First Convenience Bank) Owe you the amount of security & Promise they swear & vow to stand by but they don't.
I've Banked with this Bank for more than 2 years & it's been nothing but a disappointment & a loss I will forever carry. THEY STOLE SO MUCH $ from me & caused me to loose my house, Business & ended up homeless with my 2 kids. I screwed up & put my big income tax check in & they wiped me out in 2 days from 27 different locations all over the United States. I was in the process of moving & ended up stuck, homeless & lived in a tent for a week with my 2 children alone. I had to scrap the funds up just to be able to drive back to the same place I first moved away from. It was horrible for me & my kids. I never got a penny back & argued day & night with the dispute center, waist of time. They don't give a CRAP & I hope this Bank looses everything & there customers. BEWARE WHEN OPENING AN ACCOUNT. YOU WILL REGREAT IT!
Waited more than two weeks for an answer for a overdraft fee. After dealing with at least four employees and finally presenting my self upset, 1stCB (First Convenience Bank) took care of my issue. Each employee had a different version on what the process for reviewing this issues was. One said that her bosses where in meetings Monday thru Wednesday and could not get an answer, after that I did not received any calls or notications about my situation. After this, another employee said I was put on a list and that when it was my turn then they will look into it. Another two just didn' t returned my call.
Another issue, debit card keeps getting rejected paying home internet services. They have no idea why!
Another issue, my gym made a mistake and charge my account several times, So First "Convinience Bank" charged me 134 total overdraft fees, I explain this to them and they said they will not remove the charges since they had remove one as courtesy that I should deal with the gym in getting th money back from them. I know is not their fault, but it was a mistake and the gym did provide a letter for them stating this, still they don't care. Know I am stuck with a negative balance of four overdrafts fees plus one more of $ 34.00 for a negative balance for more than 7 days. I know its the gym mistake but still this bank is profiting from customer and not who made the mistake. So the manager from th Refund department said not to return the overdrafts fees because it was already done as courtesy one time!
Comparing to other banks; this one does not provide up to date ATM, app services, and most important a reliable customer service.
So I don't know why they state putting customers first in their values.
