Fifth Third Bank Rocks

if fifth third is the bank that let you have an account than as long as you stay in good standing (no more NSF, etc.) than you should be okay

I am always having so many people complain to me about Fifth Third bank. They also report to EWS now as well as chexsystems.

Well I just opened one. I know i have stuff from years ago thanks to an ex boyfriend and the idiot that broke into my house and stole 1500 and freaking wachovia never gave me back my money. Instead they just closed my account. Ive been fighting that for years. But I opened up an accountnow account which was the biggest mistake every. So hopefully this will be better. I need a place to have my taxes and my student loans sent to...At least they work with people who have had mistakes in the past! YEah for a bank that actually has trust in people! Oh and BTW I live in Ohio..so they are here...

The problem that I hear the most is that they open up both regular and second chance checking accounts and then about a week or two later the loss prevention dept. runs EWS and closes the account if there is anything at all reported. This can cause a great deal of grief for those that have set up a direct deposit. Prior to the account closing, they will freeze the account and money will be tied up. If you are in Ohio, WoodForest Bank is a much better option. They do offer second chance checking as well and they do NOT use EWS

5/3 Is by far the worst bank I have ever dealt with! My wife had been a customer for 30 years... Old Kent got bought by 5/3, and it went downhill from there. Lot of fees... re-ordering transactions to charge more fees when balance gets low... they take take take... and give back very little... if anything. Stay away if you know whats good.

5th 3rd has been the best for me and my partner. They allowed us to be on the same account and both of our credits are not great. We love the goal setter savings and have a regular checking account and even an account for our business!
