      A refund in the amount of 70.63$ was sent to a closed bank account. This isn’t the first time. This has to be the only bank that won’t just refuse money coming into a closed account. Facebook confirmed Somerset trust accepted the money. Stc says they don’t have it. Just like last time. They told me to have Facebook take it back. They already accepted the money. How is Facebook supposed to go into Somerset trust account to get my money back. So this is proof to me that they gave it. I have asked multiple times to talk to the ceo.

      Horrible bank. Sets you up to charge you overdraft fees. ****** from the online chat wasted my time on purpose and gave me really bad attitude for asking them to waive the 35 dollar fee on a 20 dollar charge. Most other banks will waive fees, but not this one. I am closing my account because of ****** being so ignorant to a good customer. ********************************************* just lost out on a consistent **** dollars a month direct deposit over a 35 dollar charge. Never again. This bank has the highest fees with the least benefits.
