I had a checking account with Fulton Bank. Their policy on funds available, well in all actuality they do what they want to. I would make a deposit and it would be available immediately. The next time it was the next business day. I deposited a check for $7000 and it was supposed to be clear in 3 days and on the 3rd day it broke into 2 parts, $5200 and $1700. The $5200 wasn't available for 8 days and the $1700 was available in 3 days. Plus I had difficulties with I previous deposits. I was fed up with the entire situation and opened another account with *** Bank. I transferred any auto payments to the new account and only left approximately $2 in the account. I also turned off my debit card so I knew definitely no charges could be made on it. There isn't any minimum balance fees or penalties associated with this account. I also contacted Fulton Bank and informed them what I did and that there won't be any transactions associated with my account and if there is it's your own fault and documented it. Three weeks later I received a letter through us postal mail that my account was overdrafted and a penalty was applied. They never informed me as to who tried to charge my account. Nor did I receive an alert on my phone like I normally would. Today I received a letter through us postal mail saying the account was closed and reported to **************** To limit my availability on opening future accounts. I went through a very hard divorce and my credit was shattered after having a 850 score for 15 years or better. I've been working hard to build my credit back up and don't need crooked banks like Fulton interfering. I checked their reviews out online and they aren't very well liked at all. Many other people are having the same problem. Why are businesses with bad reviews and so many complaints allowed to report anything on consumers. I don't know if you can help me or not on this but they are playing with peoples money and doing shady business.Business Response

I was contacted by text message twice within an hour about a fraudulent charge to my account. I was asked to approve or deny the charge. I denied it both times. It posted to my account anyway, and the cancelled my debit card. The next day I went to the bank in person to straighten out the issue and order a new debit card. Fulton Bank shredded the old card. A few days later I noticed the fraudulent charge was still on my account, so I used the secure messaging service to inquire about it. ************** told me that the charge would stay on my account until they had investigated it, that only a temporary hold had been placed on my debit card, and that I had not ordered a new card. Knowing this to be wrong, I asked her to please check that again, and gave her the complete details of the visit to the bank. In the meantime, all of my automatic deductions had been rejected, I had my TV service turned off, and I had to go to the bank each time I wanted cash, or zelle a friend and ask them to withdraw it and give it to me to even put gas in my car. There is not a branch of Fulton close to my house. ****** stuck to her story, claiming my card wasn't cancelled, that i had not ordered a new one, and that the money would not be returned to me until they investigated the problem. I kept uploading documents and providing descriptions to try to convince her she was wrong, but she had no interest in facts. After each response she marked the ticket a resolved, even though it was far from resolved. A week later I made another trip to the bank. I found out that what ****** had been telling me was incorrect, the card had been ordered when I thought it had been, and had the matter been dealt with properly in the first place the money from the fraud would not have been deducted from my account at all. The card ****** claimed I had not ordered was in the day's mail. After getting back with ****** regarding the fraud charge on my account, she continued to deny all of it. I asked to speak to her supervisor, and she has been dragging it out for the last 2 days. First she said the fraud unit would contact me. I told her I didn't want them, I wanted her supervisor. We have now been through another day of her putting me off. At one point I would have probably let this go, but at this point no way. Her attitude, lack of diligence, and overall poor demeanor need to be brought to the attention of management.Business Response

I was put in the deferred payment program and was told that won’t have any problems. Fulton Back reported my account to the Credit bureau and I drop my credit score by 143 points. They didn’t tell me that they were reporting my payments or history in a different program. Every time I call them, they will never answer you never respond back or never call me in reference to this. They’re hard to get in touch with and never answer or respond back to phone calls.Business Response

I requested Covid Forbearance and was generously granted forbearance for 6 months. On Fultons website and I was told on the phone that you can request an extension for another 6 months. On July 18th I spoke with ******* requesting the 6 month extension and I was promised a call back which I never received. On August 10th I called again and spoke with ********* and I was again promised that they would let me know if the extension was granted, On August 21 I spoke to ***** again requesting the extension and again I was promised a call back and I still haven't heard. on their website it states "Approximately thirty (30) days before your plan is scheduled to end, a Bank representative will contact you to discuss your financial situation and provide information on the repayment options available to you based on the mortgage or loan product you have. Not all repayment options are available for all mortgage products. Some of these options may include: An extension of forbearance for an additional 6-month term; Remittance of all suspended payments (to include any delinquent balances prior to forbearance) in a single payment; Remittance of a portion of your suspended payments (to include any delinquent balances prior to forbearance); A payment deferral, resulting in all outstanding balances (to include negative escrow amounts) being moved to the end of the loan term without extending the maturity date resulting in a large final payment; A loan modification, resulting in a change to the terms of your mortgage/loan agreement in order to provide more manageable payment amounts over time; or A complete payoff of your mortgage/loan balance and satisfaction of our lien."I haven't received a call from anyone at Fulton. what's even worst is that I got a bill for all "missed" payments due by September 1. I'd love to get clarity in this manner and get my forbearance extended 6 months.Initial Complaint

Many years ago my parents purchased for me two IRA CDs from Fulton Bank. When the IRA CDs were coming due in the pandemic, I called to roll those CDs over into a ******** IRA account. I was told that was impossible to do over the phone (I have learned that this is false) and was advised by Fulton that my best course was to allow the CDs to rollover into new Fulton CDs until the end of the pandemic. Both CDs came due again in July 2023. I called Fulton in May /June to start rolling the CDs into my ******** Rollover IRA account once they came due. I was told that I could not begin the process until the day they came due or up to 10 days after. (I have learned that this is false). On the day that the first CD was due, I called Fulton and was told that I would have to come into the bank to complete the rollover and it was repeated that I have 10 days after the CD is due. I came into the Northfield branch in that period and was told that because a rollover was between Fulton and ********, I should do the rollover on the phone. I went home and immediately called Fulton. I was now told that because the CD due date had passed although I was in the 10 day period, that the CD had already rolled over and I would have to wait until the next time the CD was due. (This is also false). ******** told me it was impossible for them to complete the paperwork and get it to Fulton in the time remaining on the CD (it would be possible had I started in May/June when I first tried). I went back to Fulton and demanded that they put the funds from the CDs that came due into a money market account so that ******** could transfer the funds into my Rollover IRA account as soon as possible. Now Fulton Bank is claiming that my funds cannot be transferred because a Rollover IRA account is different from an IRA account (not true) and I must come into the bank to sign more papers that I have already signed and were sent by ******** (not true).Business Response

On June 6, 2023, a hacker hacked into my bank account at Fulton Bank and withdrew $84,000 VIA 17 different ACH transactions. Fulton Bank gave me back $10,000, and the FBI retrieved another $14,000. However, Fulton Bank refuses to take respoabilty, and we are now at a loss of $60,000. This transaction where not authorized by me or anyone on my team. It was a fraud, and I think the bank should be responsible for protecting the money I keep in my bank account.

Complaint: ******** I am rejecting this response because: Firstly, the letter didn't address how the hacker got thru the text verification or how they changed the number that got the text verification. Also, It didn't address why the bank didn't stop the transactions when there was 18 transaction some of them where duplicate amounts, They should have stopped the transactions simply because they where such unusual transaction. Lastly, Fulton Bank still has a fraudulent website up, when you ****** Fulton bank the 6th result is a fraudulent website. Why hasn't Fulton bank worked with ****** to suppress the site. Fulton bank was clearly negligible in protecting their customers money.The letter just said that they don't think that Fulton bank is responsible but talking to many bankers, FBI agents and lawyers, because we didn't authorize or make the transaction the bank should take responsibly.
One last point, when the FBI reached out to Fulton to get some information so that they can freeze the bank accounts that the money went to it took Fulton bank a few days to give it over. Why didn't Fulton give it the same day especially because every day counts in these situations the longer you wait the less likely it is to recover the funds. Seems like Fulton really didn't have our back and didn't care about our money

Fulton Bank is not a hospitable place to conduct business, they deal in antiquated practices that prevented me from paying off my auto loan and then subsequently lowered my credit score by filling a delinquent payment. The details of the matter were firstly my autopay for the account was stopped without my knowledge. So a representative from the bank calls I tell them I wish to pay the balance off, she tells me that she is unable to for some reason and lets me pay a one time payment over the phone or online and gives me information to set up another autopay. I set up a new autopay and somehow they are receiving weekly payments so I cancel the autopay. I then call Fulton bank and tell them I just want to pay the full amount, to prevent fluctuations in my account. They tell me that they will call me back with the payoff amount and finalize the loan. They never call back and this causes the account to go into delinquency. I go to a local Fulton Branch and it is locked and by appointment only, so I wait and finally pay the loan off but they hit me with a late payment on my Credit report and drop my score by 50 points. I would not do business with this bank, but would appreciate if they removed the false late payment they placed on my credit score.Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:
I am rejecting this response or lack there of response by Fulton Bank because they were negligent in their credit processing responsibilities and that lead to a 50 point drop my credit score. They responded by saying that they are refusing to remove the delinquencies because they investigated this complaint by reviewing loan documents. How about the phone call transcripts where representatives told me they could not give me a payoff amount at the moment and would call me back on multiple occasions. I was delinquent waiting on a return call in October for a payoff. Also in this response they claim electronic payments which are is a blatant lie because auto loans at Fulton Bank have no ability to be paid online or electronically. All Fulton Bank had to do to correct the situation was remove a faulty payment delinquency, but they continued to prove that they have poor customer service and just wrote a response suggesting that they had no liability in the matter. Unfortunately it looks like I will have to consult my attorney regarding the matter.

Fulton Bank provided me misleading and deceptive information in order to receive excessive fees prior to moving my savings account to a checking account.I received a letter in October 2022 stating that I had my first occurrence of exceeding the 12 monthly money transfers from my Fulton Savings into my Checking account. For this first occurrence I was charged $12 (there is a subsequent charge of $12 for each occurrence). The letter stated, in bold, that to avoid paying the additional fees my Savings would automatically be moved to a Checking if I continued to exceed the allowable number of occurrences (see attachment #1). Therefore, after the next occurrence the Savings should have been transferred to a Checking Account and I would have only incurred one more occurrence. I am an out-of-state college student and rely on the online mobile application provided by Fulton. The application does not tell me about any service fee when I make any transfers that exceeds my allowable limit. Attachment #2 shows the conversation with a Fulton Bank Customer Service Technical Representative attesting to this fact. In January and February of 2023 it happened an additional 13 and 26 times respectively; equaling a total of 40 occurrences. This led to a total of $480 (13% of my total account balance) in excessive transfer fees before Fulton finally moved my Savings to a Checking Account. After contacting Fulton they provided a reimbursement of $350 and stated that I had to take responsibility for the remainder since I should have been aware. Regardless of Fulton's App not notifying me of each excessive occurrence/charge, they led me to believe that the account would be moved automatically on the next transaction occurrence. I would like Fulton to reimburse me the additional $106. The breakdown: $480 total fess charged, minus $24 for 2 transfer occurrences exceeding the max allowable occurrences, minus $350 already reimbursed by Fulton giving a remainder of $106.Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:
Fulton's use of the word "occurrence" in their letter is ambiguous and misleading.
The fee schedule states that a $12 fee is incurred for each occurrence of excessive activity.
Fulton's first notice on 10.31.2022 indicated that this was my 1st occurrence of excessive activity and charged me $12.00 for it.
The letter stated this was my 1st occurrence and made me believe that after the next occurrence my account would automatically move to a checking account but Fulton did this after 39 additional occurrences of excessive activity fees.
This is where Fulton's response to me is misleading because they waited 2 additional months and not 2 additional occurrences of excessive activity fees.

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:Fulton had sent a letter directly to me after the 1st occurrence that they would promptly move my account to a checking account this incident continues to happen again in order to avoid additional fees. This was BOLDED and should have been addressed the next time (or 2 maybe) that this fee of $12 was applied for each additional occurrence. However, Fulton did not do this as they stated. It happened a total of 40 times for a total of $480 in fees and failed to reimburse me for the charges that I am requesting which I believe to be fair based on the information that they provided to me.

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:If Fulton does not accept this, then I'm going to let a judge decide if what I'm asking is unreasonable based on the information that Fulton provided me.
After receiving the initial letter for my first time of exceeding the maximum internal transfers allowed and charging me $12 for this occurrence, Fulton clearly stated that if this continued to happen they would take action and move my account to a checking account to prevent further fees.
This action was not done as stated and it is not unreasonable for me to believe that this would be done on the next or at most on the 3rd occurrence thereby incurring a maximum of $36 in fees.
Instead, Fulton waited for an extensive number of occurrences to occur before executing their stated action and generated nearly $500 in fees.
Fulton did compensate me for some of the fees, but it wasn't enough. I should have incurred no more than $36 in total fees for this prior to moving my savings account to a checking account.

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this business, please let the business know that you contacted BBB for a BBB Business Profile.
As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
