I've contacted customer support with ********************** *** to see why they are closing my account. I was only told they won't fix the issue or provide me with any information as to why they decided that it's too much of a risk for me to deposit checks online.

I recently got 2 checks from my insurance company. One of them was delayed because they forgot to put my apartment number on the address so I cashed the first on through my go2 bank account with **** and had no issues at all then I got the second check from the same company and went to do the same process. I got an email saying my check was approved and it was just waiting on the voided check image. The email said to write the word void and submit the image and my account would be funded same process as the first time. Then I get an email saying it was not approved and when I try and log in it says my account is closed and wont let me log in to ****. And now I am not able to cash the check any were because of the work void. I have already been waiting for almost a month for this checkBusiness response

I have attempted to deposit a check from GEICO into my PayPal and it was declined. Then I tried the same process via Venmo and again, declined. I spoke to someone at **** who told me that my account was on hold and it has been escalated, and to expect an email in ***** business hours pending an investigation I've never done anything negative to warrant my account being placed on hold for "investigation." Not to mention the lack of transparency regarding why it's being placed on hold.Business response

I would like to know why I was just all of a sudden closed down when I depend on the ability to deposit checks for work I do. This company has cornered the market and has it in their hands to destroy individuals lives without recourse. The company is violating Americans rights to pursue happiness and our right to make a living. They get to decide who gets to eat and who doesnt, since our society is going into an all digital financial system.Business response

I attempted to cash a check issued by my own business management software suite --a check for the amount of $36.82. The check was issued from my ************* account ending in 7579, and was issued on JUN 14 2024 -- and bears the check number #***. Ingo Money -- a check cashing service that is used by a great majority of the online banks -- has seemingly suspended my account due to what it looks like they're describing as 'irregularities.' Following the rejection of the check and suspension of my privileges by Ingo -- I submitted the check to the mobile deposit service of my Chase Total Checking acct. It was honored, deposited, and the funds were made available same day. The account that funded the check (a Discover Cashback Debit account) was then debited/drafted from after a few days.This has happened before and was resolved by a previous ************************************ complaint/ticket. The complaint ID on that case was: 221024-9628895 Ingo Money suspending my account -- and other people's accounts -- for legitimate checks -- causes significant handicaps to people's ability to access banking services. I am requesting once again that the **** and/or BBB intervene to restore access to Ingo Money's check cashing services.I will attach supporting documentation indicating the validity of the check and it's funding source and documenting ******* prompt acceptance of the check in question.Business response

I am rejecting this response because:I have replied to their email requesting contact times -- and they have not replied regarding possible times to arrange a call.
I am not requesting the check to be cashed -- if you would have actually read the complaint -- I cashed the check via my Chase account successfully and no longer need it cashed through your service.
I do however -- need my check cashing abilities restored through your service.
MOST online banks in this country use Ingo -- as it holds a near monopoly on check cashing and processing in the online & digital bank realm.
With **** having suspended my access to their services (*and refusing to explain why? Why did you suspend the account? What **rules & policies** are you following by suspending my access?) -- it severely limits my access to banking services.
If **** continues to not do the reasonable thing and establish contact with me via email so we can talk and find a way to restore my access to critical banking services -- I will be forced to escalate the issue to a *formal complaint* with the ************************************ (CFPB).
If that fails -- I will be involving the Missouri Attorney General and the ************* of ******************** Institutions and Professional Registration (DIFP).
There are many other dissatisfied and disgruntled customers out there (from the organic discussion I'm finding on the internet & social media upon just googling the topic) that **** is leaving in the dust.
They are forcing the poor & underprivileged (**people that are already unbanked and have minimal access to affordable banking services**) -- to have even less options available to them because of the practices their company is engaging in.
I hate to be that guy -- but I will pursue this to the bitter end -- and if **** still continues to enforce this random disablement of my account (for which they have yet to give a reason for?) -- I will start surveying and engaging in the internet & social media spaces and begin the process of building a class action lawsuit with a consumer protection attorney -- concerning many...many reports of unfair and harmful business practices by ****,
I am not asking for a lot -- but I will continue to work on this unreasonable resolution until it is reversed.
If you can reply to my last email I sent responding to your request for contact times -- we can probably establish a time to communicate by phone.
Regards,

I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with Indigo Money's decision to refuse to cash my check and close my account. I have never had any issues with cashing checks before. It is unfair for them to suddenly consider me a risk and accuse me of suspicious activity without any evidence. This decision has caused me inconvenience and uncertainty, as I rely on this service regularly. I hope to resolve this issue and continue using Indigo Money's services in the future.Business response

the answer to every complaint they have its the same thing, all checks are subject to approval, i followed every guideline they have ! And what they are saying is that i can attempt to cash other checks , but who wants to play that silly game ? Basically its a toss up whether or not they will . All of the future checks that i would attempt will be from the same company . False advertisement bottom line . I jumped through hoops to sign up . Thats wrong

I attempted to cash a perfectly good check into my paypal account from Humana, ********************** denied my transaction. I attempted to represent the check and was presented with an Error Code A103. I have never at any time provided a bad check to Ingo Money. While we had issues in the past with ingo money they were resolved and my account was restored. The fact they have said I have violated there terms and conditions is beyond ridiculous for a check I was cashing that was perfectly good from an insurance company. This company has given me issues before and I am sorry but this is not cool.Business response
