This sleazy bank imposes due dates on a Saturday, yet disallows all types of payments on their stated due date. I made two payments on the billed due date, one by ACH via telephone after 45 minutes, and a second payment directly to their local retail bank. CSR indicated they cannot accept my online payments via ACH on their 53.com website. Both resulting payments were posted late on the following Monday. Our credit scores are about 800, but I expect FifthThird to adversely impact our rating due to their unethical policies. This dishonest policy of disallowing same day ACH payments on the due date is never a problem with our dozen credit cards, but only with Fifth Third.
Honesty is the best policy. If payment is really due on a Friday, don't falsely state it is due on a Saturday. Vote with your pocketbook by staying away from banks such as Fifth Third.
