Fifth Third Bank Complaint - Checks Take 4 Days To Be Processed. - Checking Account

Checking Account - Complaint
Review by Aqualung2010 on 2010-11-30
ORLANDO, FLORIDA -- If you deposited a check on a Friday ''after-hour'' you can`t get access to your money until Tuesday.53RD bank opens Saturday morning and Monday yet they would not allow you access to your depositry until Tuesday. Those who need to pay their bills over the weekend or Monday must think twice before opening an account with 53RD Bank. It is the worst bank I ever dealt with regarding business and customer service.

PS- Oh and if you walk to some branch with sunglasses they would order you to take them off. Incident on Conroy Rd/Mall at Millenia Mall Orlando FL branch. You better learn to speak Spanish as well!I am so fed up with this bank and can`t wait to close my account with them anytime this week.

That's how it is at my bank too. I think most are that way.

Mine too. I've been with a couple of different banks in the past and they have all been this way.

It posts on the next business day which would be Monday and therefore it is available Tuesday. It is also normal for them to ask you to take off your sunglasses and hats. At my credit union there is a sign as you open the door that states this.

Im so glad I have direct deposit at my work. my money is there and available bright and early on the 15th and 30th.

I never assume checks that I deposit are available immediately. I usually assume at least a couple of days for them to clear. If it's sooner, it's a bonus for me. Most banks are the same, Fifth Third is no different.

If it's your paycheck, sign up for direct deposit if it's available. That's always immediately available to you on payday.

everyone has said it, but I got to add my 3 cents. that is how the banking industry works. if you deposit a check on Friday late, its going to be available on Tuesday. this is way faster than it was before the banks started using electronic funds transfer. in the old days you would have had to wait a week. so get with the program and expect it to be that way with any bank and plan for it.

Most banks are that way. Nothing is processed on weekends, because the Federal Reserve bank is closed.
