Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:I never received a phone call or an email from the company, even after I checked my Spam folder. The company should produce copies of its emails to establish its claim of contact.
As this company's unsolicited mail has been coming to my mailbox since September 23, 2023, and I have not heard from the company, I will wait and see that the company has actually stopped its unsolicited mailings before I accept the company's stated claim to you that the company will stop its unsolicited mailings.

I, Jelveh M., have a Cornerstone ******************** Account with ********************. I submitted a Beneficiary form, adding my husband and my daughter as POD. I received an email confirming that my request was processed. When I sign into my account, on viobank.com website, I cannot find anywhere how to access the beneficiary information to make sure that the names and detail have been correctly added. When I sent an email inquiring about my concern, I received the same automated email stating my request has been processed. I called five different managers, who never answer their phones. I left messages and asked for a call back to address my concern. I waited three full business days and none of the managers called me back. I sent an email to customer service and they responded I would not be unable to see the beneficiary. I find this very concerning and extremely unusual for a bank not to give access to an account owner to view their chosen beneficiaries. It is the most bizarre thing I have ever heard. Since the five managers cant be bothered returning my calls, I need someone at the headquarter to contact me and explain this matter to me. The five managers I called and never heard back from are: **************** at extension 7918, ********** at extension 7971, V. H at extension 7959, **************** at extension 7917, and Chrissula at extension 7973.Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:
The representative who called me did not solve anything. just told me I cant see the *** form that they scan into their system This didnt solve anything, just that they cant do anything about it. She also tried to blame me for all the supervisors not returning my calls, by stating I should have called the main number and asked for a supervisor. So, me calling their direct lines and asking for a call back was a mistake and they have the right not to answer their phones, even though part of their job is to solve customers issues. Instead of apologizing for not calling me back, I was at fault for calling their direct lines and not the main lline.Sincerely,

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because: I am still not able to see the names and details of the benefliciaries I chose to add to my account. The person who contacted me apologized for the fact that in the pervious call she blamed me for the fact that 5 different supervisors failed to return my calls. That was nice of her, but that did not solve the issue that I can still not see anywhere on my account the details of the beneficiaries I chose to add to my account. Therefore, I am not satisfied. I did make some suggestions to her in reference to how this issue can be rectified. I am not sure if anyone is looking into implement my suggestion. Thank you.

I emailed Vio as phone calls take longer. I simply asked about ordering checks and rather than just telling me that checks are not issued for my type of account, **************** told me to call in. I asked to be answered through email and she told me that checks were not given for this account. My follow up question was answered by ********************, a senior banker and that makes this issue even more upsetting. She reluctantly answered my question with boilerplate wording and again told me to call. I understand that specific account details need to be discussed on the phone due to security reasons but this was a basic general question. I told her that it is more convenient for me to email and I told her that customer service email addresses were for that very reason. I apologized for inconveniencing her with my email rather than taking up more of my time on a phone call. Her response was to tell me again to call in. Repeatedly being told to call in after explaining customer service emails are meant to be used and is more convenient for me is extremely annoying and rude. This does not give me any confidence in this bank that should problems arise I will get proper resolution. It would be wonderful if this person in an elevated position would be reminded of proper understanding and service of the customers since that is the department she is working in to answer emails. Then, I sent a separate email to inquire what the management email was so I could inform them of my experience and the email bounced back. I was blocked by her from any further emails which is very inappropriate. Not only could I not get a managers email, she prevented me from emailing for any reason. At that point I left a request on the website for a callback to provide me a managers contact and was not given it. This is not how proper bankers should conduct business nor behave. ***************************, in upper management, was made aware of this situation after I found his contact email online and he ignored my emailBusiness Response

I have been using Vio bank high yield savings from multiple years. The interest rates were high and went to very low and then increased a lot to all the 5 plus percentage. Vio bank played very cheap technic. when interest rates went down they decreased to bottom percentage however when the interest rates raised they just increased to 1%, I haven't verified because these high yield savings accounts should automatically increase to market rate. Very recently I found that they were paying 1% instead of 5.3% or 4.5% plus.. I lost many thousands of dollars. When I called them they said they have opened new type of accounts called money market savings account and asked me to switch to that. This was implemented two years ago and no intimation sent to me either thru mail or email. When transferred all my money different bank and made available balance to zero then their marketing email started triggering about money market savings account. When I talked to them their answer was we have put some information in the website. Very very cheap bank marketing technics. Where customer is eligible to get 4x or 5x interest rate but bank is paying 1% and did not inform to the customer about their strategy changes. I think lot of other customers also in the same way impacting. if we file legal case on this definitely bank need to pay millions of dollars to the customers and towards penalties.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:Mr **** was from vio was telling me that they have tried their best to communicate and try many ways to connect with customer.
I have asked when and what way you have tried to connected me. He replied they have sent one email in May 2022 that they have open new money market account.. That's the effort they put.
I did not receive their email, can you give me for the reference, he couldn't send that to me. When they knew there are many customers are loosing the money of 5x times. Did you ever try to send any time to send reminder. His reply was his customers are matured and they don't need reminders. More than one and half year they are just enjoying customers money.
I have asked when I took my money out and put zero balance, why I got an emails about money market account two times within four days. He doesn't have any response.
This very cheap technic to take customers money.
