  This bank allowed someone to withdraw over $3000 from my bank card through a cash app that is not known to me or even in my name and refused to give me my money back.

  Redstone Federal Credit Union (RFCU) regrets to hear of your situation involving Cash App and funds leaving your account. Unfortunately, seeking resolution regarding claims against this merchant are very limited when you have established a pattern of this activity with the indicated Cash App username. RFCUs investigation into your claim indicates that on or before March 4th, 2025 you began receiving deposits into your account from this Cash App user, as well as sending many transactions to this username within Cash App (before and outside of any indicated unauthorized activity involving this Cash App username).Therefore, based on information available to RFCU, as well as our in-depth investigation into your past account activity, ******************** cannot validate this claimed activity as unauthorized at this time. If you can submit any further supporting information regarding your claim, we will be happy to re-open the investigation and research the situation further.

  To Redstone Federal Bank, On March 3rd, 2025, I around 8:37pm I started to get numerous emails about pending charges from *********** that did not belong to me. I attempted to sign into my account with your App but there was system errors. I finally made it home to my computer to find out that my entire checking account had been wiped out and now I have two pending charges for $636.52 (Two of them the same amount) I was told that Redstone Federal Bank is aware of many fradulent charges coming form ***********. There is even a recording stating this info when calling your bank. However, when speaking to **** and emailing your bank, I get responses like try to contact the merchant, blah blah blah and I already callled ******* and they cannot help me because those charges are not mine and tell me to contact the bank. I recently had open heart surgery and I am not in a good position. The money from Social Security was recently deposited and I use it very wisely to pay my monthly bills. But now I cannot pay them due to these fraudulent charges. I was told over the phone about 5 days to resolve this and then I get a email stating 10 days. If your bank knows about these fraudulent charges, why are you treating me in this manner and not helping me ?My Member ID number is ******* ***** *****

  The fraudulent charges were post shortly after speaking with the *** named April who released the funds so I could pay my bills, then a few hours later these fraudulent charges came through preventing me from paying anything, preventing me from accessing my funds. Then I call back to speak to Nadiline (Think that is her name) She was nice and stated she is sorry that I feel that Redstone is not trying hard enough to get back my funds from these fraudulent charges that they have made public.

  I wanted to add the 1st email that I received on March 3rd at 8:37pm was this "A transaction in the amount of $773.02 was made on 03/03/2025. Pending charge for $773.02 at ***********, ***********, **."

  I do not know what happened to this amount. I am not able to dispute it because I do not see it in the account . When I call and ask about it no one really knows. So hopefully someone knows. Attached

  In December 2024, I needed to update my payment method with Redstone Federal Credit Union (RFCU) after closing my ***** checking account due to fraud. I successfully transitioned all other accounts to autopay with my new Navy Federal account without issue. However, Redstone's system failed to update my payment method online, and customer service refused to help.I called multiple times and was ***eatedly told to update my payment online, which did not work. My only other options were mailing a check, which I do not have, or paying in personimpossible as I am *****+ miles away.With no viable options, I emailed RFCU in late December, providing the location for them to ***ossess the ***************** January 2025, a ***resentative acknowledged the system issue and agreed prior **** should have helped. She processed a one-time payment and promised to call back to set up autopay but never did.On January 29, I saw no pending payment and called again. The ***resentative was dismissive, sarcastically stating she would "get the previous *** in trouble" for assisting me. I reaffirmed my surrender of the vehicle and requested no further contact.Despite this, RFCU called again in February, refused to disclose the reason unless I traveled ***** miles in person with ID, and later called before 7 AM.RFCUs failures have caused financial harm and severe emotional distress. Their refusal to assist remotely left me without options, and their unprofessional conduct made it worse.

  I've had a checking account with this bank for over 35 years. They shut it down because a second account that I had opened was overdrawn $100. The account that I had for 35 years was not overdrawn but they still shut it down. This happened days before I had a $20,000 wire transfer coming into the account which was sent back. This has inconvenienced me greatly because I had many bills being paid from this account automatically which all bounced as well. On top of the fact I had to get the $20,000 wire rerouted to another bank.If you're looking for a bank that will be loyal to you, don't count on Redstone Federal.

  Hi this is ***************************** my debit card was suspended and revoke but I found out it was a victim of identity theft I told the bank they are going to tell me I can not get my debit card back because of too many dispute I will like to file a complaint

  

  Business Response

  Date: 07/08/2024

  Review of your situation resulting in your debit card privileges being suspended indicates this was not related to your claim of identity theft, but rather the violation of the terms of our ********** Services Agreement between you and Redstone Federal Credit Union (RFCU). Our relationship with our debit card issuer requires RFCU to enforce violations of our Agreements. Our records also indicate several conversations have been had with you to explain this situation as well as a written warning letter sent to the address we have on file for you (dated February 7th, 2024). The activity referenced in the warning letter sent to you in February 2024 continued to occur and RFCU then sent you written notification of your debit card privileges being suspended on March 8th,2024 (with an effective date of suspension being March 22nd, 2024).We understand that not having a debit card can be a substantial change for our members when trying to pay bills and make purchases. Our team at RFCU is here to assist you with other options such as: getting a reloadable card, obtaining official checks and or money orders, or setting up payments via ACH account draft. Please reach out to us for assistance with these other options at our toll-free number ************.

  Approximately three years ago I opened account with ********************** FCU. I was told no fees would be charges if a certain balance was held in account. In 2024 they started taking $35.00 out of my account monthly. I was never told this money would be taken. When calling to find out several times, I was told I needed to write more checks.

  I have been business banking with Redstone since the early part of 2020. Every week my card is blocked over the same transactions. The so called fraud department has never caught any fraud but they literally block the same transactions that have been occuring for years. This is so frustrating! I literally have to call redstone every week to clear up the same transactions. This bank needs to get it together or we will take our funds to another bank. The review department says its the bank the bank says its the review department. Redstone needs to get it together this is ridiculous!

  RFCU takes card fraud very seriously and is daily adjusting our fraud mitigation parameters to address fraud trends. Unfortunately, your transaction was caught in our rules. We are assessing our rules to determine what adjustments could be made to allow legitimate transactions to be approved. We apologize for any inconvenience this was caused you.

  Let me start by my status. Im a ** Citizen who immigrated to ******** few years ago. I obtained an SSN card through work **** and now obtain a ** passport.I attempted to open a new savings account online, but the system was unable to verify my identity, I called the live customer service, provided a photo of my SSN card, a photo of my driver license, and a photo of my ** passport, all while on live conversation and holding the physical documents at hand.However, my application was denied because my SSN card contains wording Valid for Work Authorization Only since it was issued when I was still on work ****.To my surprise, I was asked to provide EXTRA documentation. The problem is the documentation the agent needed is either a Permanent Residence Card or Work Authorization Card. I explained that these documents are now considered illegal as they do not reflect my true status as a ** citizen and that they get revoked (with the green card physically taken away on the day of my ceremony) and is replaced with naturalization certificate.Im shocked that the same SSN I used to open several bank accounts (both before and after becoming a ** citizen) and a multitude of credit cards. And a valid ** passport (a legal government document approved by immigration officers at airports and borders and US embassies all over the world) are not sufficient proof of my identity!That is a whole new level of rigidity that I have never encountered before.

  I have been engaged in a protracted battle with Redstone Federal Credit Union for several weeks now, attempting to validate my address. Despite undertaking a arduous 3.5-hour journey to the nearest branch in ************, **, to submit the requisite documentation, all my efforts were in vain as they were summarily rejected.Initially advised that my car's vehicle registration could serve as proof of address, I found myself at a loss as I did not have immediate access to this documentation, having rented a vehicle for the trip. Undeterred, I proceeded to the ********* ********** of ******* to obtain a copy, only to face further rejection.Returning home to retrieve my original vehicle registration documents, I provided Redstone with the requested materials, including photographs of the *** number and vehicle tags for added verification. However, the ordeal persisted, with Redstone subjecting me to an exhaustive and seemingly discriminatory verification process.While I fully support measures to combat fraud, the extent of scrutiny and obstacles imposed upon me by Redstone has been unparalleled. Were it not for the implications on my credit and the considerable time invested, I would have been compelled to sever ties with the institution.It is my sincere hope that this matter can be resolved expediently and with due consideration to the undue hardship I have endured.
