      Re: Better Business Bureau (BBB) *********************************************************** (****) is writing to respond to your March 30, 2024, BBB complaint. **** is a financial technology company that acts as the program manager for **** accounts, which are held with our sponsor bank, *************, N.A., Member **** (Sunrise). We are responding on behalf of **** and Sunrise.

      In your complaint, you explained that you were charged $35 every time you deposited money into your **** account and, in one instance, you were charged $35 twice in the same month. You stated that you started paying $9 monthly, then $20 monthly, and now $35. You request a refund for the fees and a downgrade to ****s free Basic plan.

      We have reviewed your account history in light of your complaint and summarize the issues as follows:

      You opened a **** deposit account in the name of ************************* on July 12, 2022. We understand that you were dissatisfied with the **** ***** plan and requested a refund for the fees you incurred while on that plan. After you contacted **** on March 31, 2025, your plan was downgraded as you requested from the Smart to the Basic plan, which has no fee. 

      In your complaint, you pointed out instances where we charged you twice within a month. The additional charges you mentioned, which occurred in December 2023 and August 2024, were imposed because we could not collect the prior monthly fee due to insufficient funds in your account. At no time were you double charged for a monthly fee. In fact, you did not pay for some of the monthly charges that were incurred. 

      As a gesture of goodwill, we refunded the $35 monthly fee you paid for March 2025. Based on our review of your activity, we noticed consumer-type transactions that are inconsistent with a business deposit account. For this and other risk management reasons, we are closing your account as of April 30, 2025. 

      We wish you the best in finding a financial services provider for your needs.

      Kind regards,

      **** Compliance

      On Friday Dec 20th I was feeding my 11 month old son in my home in ********** NJ when I saw a notification on my phone about two charges on my lili app, for $175 and $174.55 from ********************. I immediately called them to advise that I did not authorize those charges, I was in my home and had my card with me so no one would have had it anywhere else. I only had one debit card. They told me I had to wait until it was posted to officially dispute the transaction. Once it posted on 12/23 I called and filed a dispute. Told them the same things I said on the first phone call. (IF they truly record all call like they state, there should be record of this) I then received a decision that said "No error found" a few weeks later... I couldn't believe it and I asked for the documentation that they came to the decision on and the ** *** said I would have to provide documentation... I then called the Wawa and asked them to pull the receipts for the transaction amounts on that date... They sent me the transaction logs showing it was for Diesel fuel... I don't own a diesel truck, nor anyone I know that would need $350 in fuel. The manager at **** said there was cameras but they could only release footage to police. I then when to my local police station and filed a ***ort for the theft knowing it was not me who had those charges. I am a mother of 4 kids under 7 and was home just getting them situated after school. It is now 3+ months and every time I call to check the status I am dismissed and today I demanded a supervisor or escalation and was told there was noone and they could put a request in for someone to reach out in 48 hours. I then got an email saying they understand I am frustrated but they are still denying my appeal. I have been a customer of theirs for years and haven't ever overdrawn, had fraud or anything. I want my money back in my account, money that they claim to be fdic insured so I don't know why it's such an issue.

      Re: Better Business Bureau (BBB) **************************************************************** (****) is writing to respond to your March 28, 2024, BBB complaint. **** is a financial technology company that acts as the program manager for **** accounts, which are held with our sponsor bank, *************, N.A., Member **** (Sunrise). We are responding on behalf of **** and Sunrise.

      In your complaint, you explained that on December 20, 2024, you were alerted to two unauthorized charges of $175 and $****** from Wawa in ************, **. When the debit card charges were made, you were at home in **********, **********, and you immediately contacted **** to dispute the charges. 

      **** denied your dispute of the charges. You then contacted the Wawa store where the unauthorized charges occurred, and they told you their log indicates the purchases were for diesel fuel. The store manager informed you they had video footage but could only release it to the police, prompting you to file a police report. You then contacted **** and requested to speak to a supervisor. Our agent informed you that one would contact you within 48 hours. You received an email denying your appeal. You expressed frustration and requested a refund. 

      We have reviewed your account in light of your complaint and summarize the issue below:

      On December 20, 2024, you contacted **** to dispute two charges of $175 and $ ******, which were made on the same day at a ******************* in ************, **********. You informed the agent that you were at home during the time of the incident, did not authorize anyone to use your card, and that you were in possession of your debit card. The agent informed you that the transactions were still pending and advised you to contact us once they settled. Due to the nature of the dispute, your card was replaced, and a new one was sent to you. 

      On December 23, 2024, you called **** customer support and informed the agent that the unauthorized transactions had been completed. A dispute was filed on the same day, and a confirmatory email was sent to you.

      On January 10, 2025, you were notified that your dispute was denied. Our dispute analyst determined that the charges were valid. It was found that the purchase lacked any denial codes, other purchases were made in the same vicinity, and the transaction was a card-present transaction, meaning someone swiped a debit card in the fuel center. 
      On the same day, you contacted **** to contest the decision, asserting that you were at home during the incident and that the **** location was an hour from your home. The agent requested that you provide new evidence that had not been previously used in the dispute investigation. 

      On January 12, 2025, you provided a copy of the receipt for the charges and pointed out that the purchases were for diesel fuel. You stated that you drove a Kia ********* which is not a diesel vehicle. 

      Your supporting documents were forwarded to our dispute team on January 13, 2025, and an appeal was filed on your behalf. Later that day, you were informed that your appeal was denied. 

      On February 3, 2025, you contacted ****' s dispute team and provided a copy of a police report you filed with the *******************************************. Your appeal was filed on February 6, 2025, and a confirmatory email was sent to you. On the same day, your appeal was denied.

      We have reviewed the evidence that you submitted, as well as your entire account history, and have decided to grant your appeal and credit your account for the full amount of the charges. We also have credited your account $25 as a courtesy. 

      We apologize for the delay and the multiple steps needed to resolve this dispute.

      Kind regards,
      **** Compliance

      Yes I asked for them to file the dispute on my behalf of $393.95 which was filed and when it came back as the adjustment because it was from Lily banking I had one to dispute of 393 but they came and did a adjustment for the same amount of $393.95 and I'm inquiring about why they went back and took the money and they will not answer. They keep hanging up. It's this alternate changes on my account as well and now my account is sinking to be closed due to me calling about the disputes at hand. Now I have no problem with them closing my account cuz obviously it's not a well-trusted bank that it seem like y'all just asking me documents and taking my money. So that being said, I have none recorded each phone call which I am willing to provide my call notes for and also a screenshotted everything that helps my potential Case I would dispute showing the transactions that was made on my account to be accurate of what I'm saying. How do I get help obtaining my money before they close my account? They say do the personal it wasn't a business for it to be around a business account or before they even came out with the business plan. I was already a customer. When I inquired about it they told me that it's not necessarily. I have to have a business everybody who was already receiving the banking before they had changed it in 2022. Had all got switched down to Lily ******** now. I don't care how y'all run it. I just know how y'all pertain with my money and this is when my exercise statement goes. So with that being said, it's like y'all understanding my money before the gummy gives you. Like I said, every time I call to inquire about it, they hang up in my face and it's legit questions that any person will ask about that banking account. I'm tired of dealing with this matter. I just want what is the disputes to be corrected and my money back and y'all can close this account. I don't care it's always something going on with this account. I never can win a dispute.

      Re: Better Business Bureau (BBB) ************************************************************* (****) is writing to respond to your March 21, 2024 BBB complaint. **** is a financial technology company that acts as the program manager for **** accounts, which are held with our sponsor bank, *************, N.A., Member **** (Sunrise). We are responding on behalf of **** and Sunrise.

      In your complaint, you explained that after filing a dispute for $393.95 with ****, you noticed an adjustment for the same amount debited from your account. Despite multiple inquiries, you state the representatives have been unhelpful, often hanging up during calls. You expressed frustration over the situation and explained that your account is at risk of being closed. You are requesting a refund for the dispute you filed.

      We have reviewed your account in light of your complaint and summarize the issue below:

      On February 4, 2025, you initiated four debit card transactions at Family Dollar in ***********, *****. The first transaction was for $393.95; however, it failed because you did not correctly enter your PIN. You initiated the transaction again, and it was authorized and completed. Following this transaction, you initiated another transaction for $106.95, which was authorized but not completed. Finally, you initiated another transaction, also for $106.95, but it was declined due to insufficient funds in your account. So, the only transaction that was completed was the transaction for $393.95.

      A **** risk analyst suspended your account on the same day and contacted you to confirm whether you authorized the Family Dollar transactions. You responded the following day, confirming that you initiated the transactions and provided documentation as evidence. On February 5, 2025, your account was reactivated. 

      Your transaction for $393.95 settled on February 7, 2025. The second transaction for $106.95 did not settle because the **** authorization expired and **** did not transmit a final charge to us. 

      On the same day, you contacted **** customer support to dispute the $393.95 purchase. During the call, you explained that your debit card did not allow the payment to go through at the time of the purchase, so the purchase was paid by other means.

      A dispute was filed on your behalf on the same day, and you received a confirmatory email. While the dispute was under investigation, you requested provisional credit, but it was not granted.

      On February 11, 2025, the dispute analyst requested details on how the purchase was made and a receipt for the purchase that was paid by other means. You responded to the inquiry on February 14, 2025, explaining that the purchase had been made using the card. You mentioned that the transaction should not have gone through since your account was suspended at the time of the transaction. 

      On March 5, 2025, you were informed your dispute was denied because the merchant received a complete and valid authorization for the transaction and the merchant provided a signed copy of the receipt of the transaction. 

      On March 7 and 27, 2025, you contacted **** customer support several times and informed **** you planned on filing an appeal and requested to speak to a supervisor. During the calls, the agents asked for new evidence not previously used in the dispute investigation to file an appeal. Regarding the supervisor contact, the agent informed you that a supervisor would give you a callback within 24 to 48 hours; however, you refused due to the timeframe.  

      In your complaint, you mentioned that a **** chargeback for the disputed amount was credited to your account; however, this was immediately followed by an adjustment that debited the same amount from your account. Before the dispute decision, a chargeback was requested on February 26, 2025, and the credit was applied to your account on March 5, 2025. However, your dispute was denied due to the evidence provided by the merchant, confirming that you initiated the transaction using your debit card. Therefore, the chargeback was reversed from your account.

      It is unclear why you filed the dispute. When you initially notified **** of the transaction, you indicated it was a duplicate because it had already been paid through other means. During the investigation, you told the dispute analyst that the transaction occurred due to an error, as your debit card had already been suspended. Your account was suspended after your last attempted transaction, not before it. Two transactions had already been authorized before your account was suspended. Finally, the chargeback credit applied to your account was reversed because your dispute was denied. Your explanation of the events seemed inconsistent with the facts and changed over time.

      Finally, after reviewing your account activity, we believe it is inconsistent with a business deposit account. For this reason, we are closing your account as of June 6, 2025. Please contact any direct depositors as soon as possible to provide them with your new bank routing and account number to prevent an interruption of your direct deposits. We wish you the best in finding a financial services provider for your needs.

      Kind regards,
      **** Compliance

      I completed the requirements for the $300 bonus, including holding $5,000 for the required time and completing 5 debit card transactions. However, I have not received the bonus even though I was supposed to over a week ago. I have tried emailing about this issue and calling, but the representatives have not helped me.

      Re: Better Business Bureau (BBB) ************************************************************ (****) is writing to respond to your BBB complaint of February 21, 2024. ****, a financial technology company, and its sponsor bank, *************, N.A. (Sunrise), take your concerns very seriously and respond to the issues raised in your complaint below.

      In your complaint, you explain that you met all the requirements to qualify for the $300 sign-up bonus but have not received it. You expected to have received it already, but it was not resolved when you contacted **** about it. 

      We have reviewed your account in light of your complaint and summarize the issue below:

      On November 29, 2024, you opened a **** business deposit account as a sole proprietor customer. On December 2, 2024, you initiated an ACH transfer of $5,000 from your external account to your **** ******** and on the following day, you initiated another ACH transfer of $20. On December 14, 2024, you initiated five debit card purchases totaling $19.04, all made at a Target store in ******, ***********

      Between February 11 and 20, 2024, you contacted **** customer support multiple times inquiring about the promotional bonus. The customer service agents escalated your issue for further review. 

      On February 24, 2025, the $300 bonus was applied to your account. 

      We hope this explanation is helpful and look forward to serving your business.

      ********* is by far the worst banking experience I have ever encountered. This company is a complete joke. They failed to properly investigate fraudulent activity on my account, leaving me with financial damages that I will now have to recover through legal action.Despite multiple attempts to resolve this issue, **** showed no accountability or concern for their customers financial security. Their refusal to properly investigate or reimburse fraudulent charges demonstrates complete incompetence.I strongly advise anyone considering **** to stay far away. There are much better, more reliable banking options available. I will be pursuing legal action to recover every dollar owed to me. This is the most unprofessional, dishonest company *** ever dealt with.**** needs to be held accountable for these unacceptable practices and should not continue to operate in this manner.

      Re: Better Business Bureau (BBB) ********************************************************************* (****) is writing to respond to your BBB complaint of January 31, 2025. **** is a financial technology company that acts as the program manager for **** accounts, which are held with our sponsor bank, *************, N.A., Member **** (Sunrise). We are responding on behalf of **** and Sunrise.

      In your complaint, you expressed frustration and believe **** did not properly investigate your disputes, which resulted in financial damages. You contacted **** multiple times to resolve your issue, but you feel **** refused to properly investigate your claim or reimburse you for the fraudulent transactions. 

      Based on the little information in your complaint, we do not know which dispute you are referencing, since you filed an unusually high number of claims since your account was opened about four months ago. Specifically, you have filed seven disputes related to 17 transactions totaling $2,760.96. Given your lack of specificity, we discuss each dispute below:

      Dispute #1 (Claim ID *************:
      On November 24, 2024, you contacted **** customer support to dispute three transactions totaling $861.61. You explained that you lost your card while shopping on November 22, 2024, and did not authorize the charges. You informed the agent that the purchases made at ******************, ******** Jewelers, and ***** Assembly Row were unauthorized. Your dispute was filed on November 27, 2024, and a confirmation email was sent to you. Your card was canceled as a fraud prevention measure, and a new one was issued. 

      The following day, you learned that your claim was denied. The investigator believed you were aware of the disputed transactions since you frequently accessed your account, continued to fund it, and repeatedly froze and unfroze your debit card. Additionally, the dispute analyst noted that the disputed purchases were card-present transactions that overlapped with undisputed charges, which were also card-present transactions, meaning the card was in the possession of the user for both the disputed and undisputed charges during this timeframe. 

      On November 29, 2024, our dispute team provided you with a copy of the documents we used to determine the outcome. On the same day, you appealed and provided a copy of the receipt from ******** Jewelers, which you explained did not match your name or signature. The receipt is odd for a few reasons. First, it lists the charge as a Mastercard charge (spelled incorrectly on the receipt) and, second, it lists a different customer. We question whether this was the correct receipt for the charge. On December 9, 2025, you were informed that your appeal was denied.

      Dispute #2/3 (Claim IDs ************ & ************)
      On December 3, 2024, you contacted **** customer support to dispute three transactions totaling $317.14 with *****, ********, and ********. You explained that the charges from ***** and ******** were related to canceled subscriptions. On December 11, 2024, two claims were filed - one for the ***** and ******** charges and another for *********

      On December 12, 2024, for your ***** and ******** subscription claims, our dispute analyst requested additional information to support your claim that you canceled your subscriptions, and you responded with documentation on December 24, 2024. On December 26, 2024, you were informed that your dispute was denied. The dispute analyst received and accepted the merchants evidence. ***** and ******** submitted documentation that included a transaction receipt showing acceptance of the terms and conditions, stating that the membership was not canceled. Additionally, the supporting documentation you provided did not specify the cancellation date for either membership.

      You requested an appeal and were informed on December 27, 2025, that the initial decision was upheld. The dispute analyst noted that no new information or documentation was provided to support your appeal.

      You were informed that your dispute concerning ******** was resolved in your favor on December 31, 2024, and a credit of $49.99 was applied to your account on the same day.

      Disputes #4/5 (Claim IDs ************ and ************)
      On January 6, 2025, you emailed **** to dispute two charges: one from ***********, totaling $668.68, and another from Appcessories Electronics for $169. You explained that *********** was for an ****** rental, from which you could not access the apartment. You attempted to resolve the issue with the merchant but to no avail. Regarding Appcessories Electronics, you stated that you were charged $170 when the correct charge should have only been $1. Due to the timing of the transactions, two separate disputes were filed on January 9, 2025.

      On January 16, you were informed that your dispute with *********** was denied. The merchant provided a copy of the transaction receipt, indicating that the services had been rendered. Additionally, the merchants terms and conditions specified that the transaction was nonrefundable. On January 20, 2025, we supplied you with copies of the documents we used for your dispute. On January 23, 2024, you appealed and were notified the same day that the appeal was denied.

      On January 10, 2025, our dispute team requested additional information, such as a receipt or credit voucher, to verify the correct amount you should have been billed for the Appcessories Electronics dispute. However, you did not respond to our request. On February 3, 2025, you were informed that the dispute was declined after we reviewed the merchant's supporting documentation and explanation. The merchant provided a sales slip showing the transaction amount, date, and the last four digits of the card used, which matched our records. Additionally, a further review of the Appcessories Electronics website revealed that they offered electronic products and cell phone repair services but did not list any products or services priced at $1.00. 

      Disputes #5/6 (Claim IDs ************ and ************)
      On January 29, 2024, you notified **** of eight unauthorized transactions totaling $494.53 associated with your allegedly lost card on November 22, 2023. These purchases were made at retailers including **** ******, Business *************, **** ***** **** *** ******* *** ***** *** ******** ****** **** ******** and ********* **** ***** We question not only the timing of these disputes but also their validity, since you claim to have lost your card on November 22, 2024, yet these transactions all took place before that date when the card was in your possession. 

      For example, you claim to have lost your card on November 22, 2024, yet you are disputing a charge at ******* on November 8, ************************************************* your possession (since we have no evidence that your card was lost or stolen at that time). 

      Moreover, you made a charge at ****** ****** ***** on November 9, 2024 at 7:47 pm with your card (a charge which is not disputed) and then two other charges later that evening at *** ******** *** at 10:11 pm, and at the Harp at 11:13 pm, both of which you contest. 

      The next day, on November 10, 2024, you made a card present charge at **** ** ****** *** at 11:03 pm (contested charge), and on November 11, 2024, you made a card present charge at ******** at 10:24 pm, which you did not contest. It is hard for us to reconcile the card present charges during this timeframe, since you dispute some of them, but not others.

      Additionally, our terms provide that you acknowledge that you have **************************************************************************************************** unauthorized transactions related to transactions on the statement. Your claim of eight unauthorized transactions was well beyond thirty days from the date of the October and November statements in which the transactions appeared. 

      Nevertheless, the dispute is still under investigation, and we typically resolve disputes within 45 days of the filing of the dispute.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

      Lili, this is a blatant lie. I have uploaded the receipt, which matches the card number and time of charge. Also, ********** is not misspelled. Now, we question your reasoning ability

      I started a business act with ****, I had a dd sent to my **** act and jan 12 2025 starting at 12:50pm charges from random targets in ******** was initiated from my act. There were six charges made from 12:50pm to 6:12pm. I called **** and filled a dispute, was told by *** there's been activity of people using credit card machines to retain people personal info. I called **** at 1:40 pm to check my dispute and was told that the charges made are valid. Problem is **** know these charges are fraudulent i never in my life been to any of these places and at my job have numerous cameras/video of me at work in another state. **** is untrustworthy and will not ***lace funds or even thoroughly investigate identity fraud. I thought the company was great at first but if they can't handle a obviously security issue like this with honesty and refunding what was illegally taken from my act, they can't be trusted as a company. I recently started a trucking company where thousands would potentially be going into this account but due to the dishonesty I will be taking my business elsewhere. Also will be filling a police ***ort and a complaint to the ***. Due to similar issues like this that I read **** will most likely close my act to hide from any wrong doing. I hate to get a consumer fraud lawyer involved with something so obvious or contact the attorney generals office but this company has left a sour taste in my mouth and truly disappointed. Also their responses to customer concerns like this involving their money is nasty and concerning as a company. The amount taken from me added up to be ****** and although not thousands I will go the distance off principle. Next stop CFPB, all I want is my money returned to me that's it that's all.

      Re: Better Business Bureau (BBB) *************************************************************** (****) is writing to respond to your BBB complaint of January 30, 2025. **** is a financial technology company that acts as the program manager for **** accounts, which are held with our sponsor bank, *************, N.A., Member **** (Sunrise). We are responding on behalf of **** and Sunrise.

      In your complaint, you explain that after transferring funds into your **** business account, you noticed six unauthorized transactions from various sources in ********. You reached out to **** customer support to file a dispute. Later, you called **** to check on the status of your dispute and were informed that it had not been resolved in your favor. You expressed dissatisfaction with the outcome of the dispute, believing that **** did not conduct a proper investigation. You clarified that you had never visited any of the target locations in ******** and worked in another state when the transactions occurred.

      We have reviewed your account in light of your complaint and summarize the issue below:

      On January 8, 2024, you received an ACH deposit from Cellular Sales for $2,125.88.

      On January 12, 2025, you emailed our customer support regarding six unauthorized debit card purchases totaling $580.03 at various ****** locations in ********. You confirmed that your card was neither lost nor stolen and that you have never visited those locations. The agent informed you that pending transactions must be settled before a dispute can be submitted.

      Your dispute was filed on January 13, 2025, for six transactions totaling $580.03 at various Target stores in **********, **********, *************, *****, and ***********, ********. That same day, you received a confirmatory email notifying you that a dispute was filed. Additionally, your debit card was canceled as a fraud prevention measure, and a new one was sent to you. 

      On January 16, 2025, you were informed that your dispute was denied. 

      On January 28, 2025, you called **** customer support to appeal. The agent informed you that to file an appeal, you would need to provide new evidence that was not previously used in the dispute investigation.

      Following your call to **** customer support on February 7, 2025, regarding the submission process for your appeal documentation, a representative reached out via email to request that you provide the necessary supporting evidence by replying directly to that email.

      We havent heard from you since our last communication. **** conducted a supplementary review of your dispute, which revealed that on January 12, 2025, you logged into your account using the ****************** at 10:13 PM ET from **********, ********, where one of the disputed transactions originated. This login event contradicts your claim that you never visited any cities where the disputed transactions took place. Furthermore, the other disputed transactions are all within a 20-mile radius of each other. 

      **** believes that you authorized these transactions since you were placed in **********, ********, and did not claim that your account or login credentials were compromised. 

      If you still wish to appeal our decision, we are happy to consider new information. Please respond to our email of February 7, 2025, with the documentation you would like to use as evidence for your appeal. 

      Kind regards,

      Re: Better Business Bureau (BBB) ********************************************* are writing in response to your January 30, 2025, reply to our response to your BBB complaint. Your account was held with our prior sponsor bank, ********************** (****************), before migrating to *************, N.A. (Sunrise). We are responding on behalf of **************************, and Sunrise.

      In your reply, you explain that you were at work in *******, ********* when the unauthorized transactions occurred. You threaten to sue ****, believing us to be dishonest. You mentioned that your company has cameras and should have a video recording of you at work. You also offered to provide us with your timecard for the dates in question.

      We summarize the dispute below:

      You disputed six Target Store debit card charges that took place on January 12 and 13, 2025.

      On February 11, 2025, you provided us with a police report that you filed with the ************************* as evidence for your appeal of the denial of the disputed charges. You also provided a screenshot of your schedule on January 12, 2025. 

      Your appeal was filed on February 12, 2025; however, it was denied. We retain a record of every login to our customer accounts. Our records show that you or someone else (perhaps an acquaintance) logged into your account on January 12, 2025, at 10:13 PM ET from **********, ******** (IP ***************), a location close in proximity to the Target Stores where the disputed charges were made. Since we require confidential personal credentials to log into a customer account, we believe that you logged in using your credentials. Other than the charges, you have presented no evidence that your login credentials were compromised. 

      The login places you in the area where the disputed transactions occurred and seemingly contradicts your statements that you never visited any cities where these transactions took place. Nevertheless, if you can provide us with a copy of your official timecard from your employer showing that you were at work in ********* on the dates in question, we will credit your account in the amount of $580.03 to resolve this dispute.

      Ive had this account for over 6 months and really hadnt done anything with it as I was trying to get my business off the ground. Never was charged a fee, ever. I transferred $40 over a week ago as they held onto it for as long as they possibly could. I was at a time I really needed access to MY money, only to see this morning it finally posted to my balance. EXCEPT, I was also charged $35 for banking fees! SERIOUSLY!! This is a crooked bank. Stay clear of them! They are corrupted as they come! Please heed my warning, theres a plethora of other banks much better than these thieves!!!

      Re: Better Business Bureau  (BBB) ************************************************************** (****) is writing to respond to your BBB complaint of January 27, 2025. **** is a financial technology company that acts as the program manager for **** accounts, which are held with our sponsor bank, *************, N.A., Member **** (Sunrise). We are responding on behalf of **** and Sunrise.

      In your complaint, you explain that you opened a **** business account over six months ago and have not used it. You expressed frustration after being charged a fee of $35.00, especially since you were not charged previously. 

      We have reviewed your account in light of your complaint and summarize the issue below:

      You selected a **** ***** plan and opened a **** account on June 9, 2024, in the name of ******************* 

      Your account had minimal activity between June 9, 2024, and January 22, 2025, including a $25 ACH deposit from a linked external account and nine debit card transactions. On January 23, 2025, you transferred $40 from your linked external account; on the same day, your account was charged a monthly service fee of $35.
       
      When you applied for a **** business account, you selected the **** ***** Plan, which has a monthly fee of $35. The monthly plan fee was not collected before January 23, 2025, because your account did not have enough funds to cover the fee. 

      The $35 fee that was collected from your account was done so in accordance with your account agreement and the plan you selected. If you wish to pay a lower fee, you can downgrade to our Pro plan, and if you wish to pay no fee, you can downgrade to our basic plan. Of course, the features we offer are commensurate with the plan you select. If you are not taking advantage of the Smart plan features, we do recommend that you downgrade your plan by contacting our official support center at **********************. 

      We hope this explanation was helpful, and we wish you the best with your business.

Your account was held with our prior sponsor bank, ********************** (****************), before migrating to *************, N.A. (Sunrise).

      In your complaint, you state that you believe your **** business deposit account was closed due to cryptocurrency purchases. We understand that you may be seeking a specific reason for the closure of your account. Unfortunately, we can only inform you that your business account exceeded our risk tolerance. You were notified of this decision on December 9, 2024.

      The following day, you contacted **** customer support to inform us that you were expecting a refund and that the merchant would not release your funds to any other account. In response, **** complied with your request and accepted two deposits from ***********, totaling $50. After your refunds were deposited into your account, **** issued a check for your remaining balance of $51.71 on December 18, 2024, and sent the remaining balance to your registered address. If you have not received it already, you will receive the check shortly.

      Re: Better Business Bureau (BBB) ************************************************************ (****) is writing in response to your BBB complaint dated December 17, 2024. Your account was held with our prior sponsor bank, ********************** (****************), before migrating to *************, N.A. (Sunrise). We are responding on behalf of **************************, and Sunrise.

      In your complaint, you state that a $65.00 ACH deposit to your **** ******* was rejected three times, but the merchant has informed you that the payment was completed.

      We have reviewed your account in light of your complaint and summarize the issue below:

      On December 13, 2024, you contacted **** customer support to inquire about an ACH deposit of $64.58 from Twitch. Our agent informed you that the deposit was returned to the originator because it was sent using ****s old routing number, which is associated with ***************** not Sunrise.

      Before the transfer of **** accounts from **************** to *******, customers received several email notifications about the change. The first and second notices were sent to all customers on September 9 and 27, 2024. A third notice was sent by email, text message, and in-app popup on October 8, 2024. We used multiple communication methods to ensure customers were aware that their routing numbers would change.

      These notifications provided important information about the transition, including the transition date, what to expect after the migration, and the necessary actions for ***** customers, such as notifying payors of the new routing number.

      We can confirm that your deposit was returned to the originator because the merchant used the routing number of our prior sponsor bank, ****************, not our current sponsor bank, *******. Please notify the merchant of the new routing number to ensure your deposits are processed correctly.

      I have been a user of the Lili ********* platform for several years beginning in 2022 and on December 3, 2024 my account was closed with no explanation. I received several repeat emails with support ticket numbers saying that my request was received and because of my request my bank account was reviewed and closed but I never contacted support or had any issues with my account. I reached out to support because I thought that the emails were fraudulent but it turned out that my account was in fact closed and when I asked why I was directed to section 1.3 of the terms which is basically just a generic catch all statement that doesnt actually answer the questions as to what occurred. I had approximately $370 in that account and had been able to initiate an outgoing transfer prior to finding out my account was closed but **** didnt let the transfer go through so now I have to rely on them actually sending a check. I would like my funds as quickly as possible as well as a legitimate explanation as to what happened with my account because on my end I didnt have any complaint or issues. Reading through some of the complaints listed on BBB it appears as most often accounts were closed because of false disputed transactions, returned checks, chargebacks etc but I didnt have anything like that with my account so Im genuinely confused and dont appreciate the generic response from Premium Customer support. I paid $55 per month for several years and to have an account terminated for no reason is terrible customer service. Please refund my last 2.5 years of $55 payments which equals $1650.

      Re: Better Business Bureau (BBB) *************************************************************** (****) is writing in response to your BBB complaint dated December 5, 2024. ********************** (****************) was the sponsor bank and debit card issuer for your account, and **** acted as program manager. We are responding on behalf of **************** and Lili.

      In your complaint, you explained that you were a tenured ********* but you were abruptly notified that your account had been closed. You contacted **** customer support to inquire about the reason for the closure, and you were directed to section 1.3 of Lilis Terms and Conditions. You explained that you had initiated an account transfer for approximately $370 before the account closed, but ultimately the transfer was canceled. You expressed frustration with the lack of customer support since no reason was provided for the closure, and now you have to wait to receive your remaining funds. You explained you had been paying $55 per month for several years as a Lili ******* account member, and you are requesting a refund of all the monthly fees you have paid, which you calculated to be $1,650.

      Regarding your monthly service fee, you opened an account with **** as a Pro customer in January 2022. ****** Smart and ******* account plans were first introduced in April 2023. During our promotional marketing campaign, your account plan was upgraded from Pro to Smart on April 17, 2023. On June 12, 2023, you upgraded your plan from Smart to *******. As a Lili ********* you have paid $838.42 in monthly service fees.

      We understand you would like a specific reason for the closure of your account. Unfortunately, we can only tell you that your account exceeded our risk tolerance. You were notified of our decision on December 2, 2024, and, at the time of closure, your account had an available balance of $352.74. We expect that you have now received your funds or you will receive them within the next few days. As for the plan fees, we are unable to reimburse them because you had use of the account and your plan features during the term of the account.

      We wish you the best in finding a financial services provider for your business needs.
