As a former employee of Fifth Third Bank, A word to the wise:
Close your accounts and go elsewhere!!! They aren't ethical @ 5/3 and I felt guilty for even working for them. If you feel you're being taken, believe me, YOU ARE. Someone deposits a PAYROLL check and its not available until Tomorrow? Unheard of in banking. They thrive on overdraft fees and credit cards and if I didn't sell enough credit cards? The pink slip. Oh, and the best part about our beneficial overdraft protection for our customers that keep our door revolving? We link the checking acct to a 5/3 Credit card in hopes that you all rack up a huge balance that ya'll can't pay off so the bank makes interest. Oh and did I mention that even though you're covered by our overdraft protection to make your life easier you're still charged $9.00 in fees for each item if you use it. And after 10 times the cost goes up, so yes its tiered to help pay for the exec's vacations. So, my advice is for all of you out there to find a nice local community bank that cares about their customers and treats them like a person, not a number. And if you fall into a hardship, they do everything within their power to help you - not throw the book at you. I think its more fitting to say "Welcome to Hell, Not Welcome to fifth third"
