      Complaint Type:
      Billing Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      This bank repeatedly refused test deposits from Connexus Credit Union, causing them to have to try again and again, which nearly cost me to lose my account with Connexus. Beach Bank refused them without notifying me or even trying to reach out to ask me about them. This has been going on for several weeks, and it was a nightmare to get this straightened out. When they finally allowed all the mini-deposits through, they assured me that everything would now be fine. However, Connexus Credit Union then had to withdraw their 11 test deposits, and Beach Bank fraudulently charged me $3 for each "excessive" withdrawal - withdrawals which would not have been necessary at all, if they had simply accepted the first test deposit. After 12 years of being a loyal customer, I feel betrayed and completely disappointed on how they treat their customers.
