I can't count how many times this bank has disabled my card for "suspected fraud" without notifying me....and every time I get stranded at a gas station or checkout at a store with a card that's not working. Far too many times I've had to have someone bring me cash to get gas because they decided to screw me over by disabling my card and not notifying me. I'm dropping this bank just as soon as I can

I work for a bank and I know that ACH Batches were released on January 4, 2020. I were hung up on several times and I asked several times for a supervisor and also I wanted to do a chairman compaint. I were talked to very disrespectful. This bank is terrible to do business with and I kept the chats when I would do a live chat. Disrespectful at the lowest. Do not lie to your customers.

AVOID THIS BANK AT ALL COSTS. When my credit score was poor they were my only option and I was grateful that they would open an account with me. Then I got in a tough spot where I went into what I thought was overdraft protection, but turns out they changed that to a $500 credit line and forged my e-signature. I was making payments on that, but not fast enough apparently, and they let me know my account was closed AFTER accepting a $125 deposit. They said a collection agency would be in touch and that I had to make payments ... read more

Woodforest should be ashamed of themselves for how they treat their customers. I have banked with them for about 4.5 years. Out of not wanting to switch up my direct deposit I stuck it out. Up until november my only major issue is I would call them put in a travel notice and get to the destination and my card would still not work. As an international flight attendant this was extremely frustrating. Although now I’ve hit the point where I will be closing my account and going to a reputable bank. One month ago over night my ca... read more

I opened an account with Woodforest in May of this year. I finally decided to trust them with my money... so I started doing direct deposits. My first direct deposit came the day before Thanksgiving. I had over $1,000 in my acct before I made a withdrawal of $600. The next day on Thanksgiving I saw another deposit of 1,088.67. I thought my job paid me twice. I went to the bank on black Friday and asked a teller about the additional deposit. She said it was either my employer or a secret santa. Listening to her I withdrew $80... read more

If I could leave a 0 star review I would. Woodforest banks customer service is unsupportive, condescending and this bank will not work with you to resolve issues of their creation. I had a direct deposit that was posted by my company but did not hit my bank account and Woodforest has given me the run around about addressing the issue for months. There were also two incidents that impacted my personal vehicle. I was only reimbursed a total of $200.00 and should be been reimbursed over $3400.00. There is absolutely no resoluti... read more

I have been with this bank for close to ten years and have had a few problems over the years but now I woke up this morning to see that they charged me twice for the same transactions and took money out of my account and won't cancel the transactions even though they are just pending. I work my butt off for my money just for my own bank to screw me over. We are in a pandemic and I don't have 60 days to wait to get back money that is rightfully mine. As soon as this dispute is over I'm closing this account. Terrible customer ... read more

Absolutely zero help with a $900 unauthorized transaction on my account by a company that I previously associated with and had previous transactions with. Woodforest used my previous history with that company to justify allowing this huge transaction that I did not authorize to go through. It wiped me out. I was advised to work it out with that company....ask them to put the money back. I asked Woodforest to reject this transaction while still pending and they refused. I had zero consumer protection and was treated as if thi... read more
