Date of Complaint: July 6, 2018

Company Official Name: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION

State: AZ

Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-Product: Checking account

Issue: Managing an account
Sub-Issue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

Full Complaint:
My current bank USAA FSB has violated my financial privacy by adding my partner to my PERSONAL checking account after being instructed multiple times not to. They have also been unable to remove him without signing a form. This seems inconsistent with the fact that I never authorized him to be added in the first place, instructed them to open up his OWN account yet they still failed to listen and let him get added anyway.

Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-Product: Checking account

Issue: Managing an account
Sub-Issue: Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed

Full Complaint:
I am a member of USAA since XX/XX/XXXXand currently my daughter and I have a checking account together for her college payments. On XX/XX/XXXX a transfer in the amount of {0.00} was made from her USAA college investment account to her USAA checking account, and although that transfer was made internally between USAA accounts, the funds were placed on hold until XX/XX/XXXX and treated as an external transfer. I contacted USAA on XX/XX/XXXX to request funds to be manually released, since it was an internal transfer, and asked for a manager or supervisor in checking, but was connected to a member of the Executive Resolutions Team ( I was later told that his employee number is XXXX ). He advised me that although he had the authority to release those funds, he wouldn’t do it, because although investments are offered by USAA as a USAA product, those accounts are third party accounts and USAA member ‘s do not have knowledge that their college investment accounts are a third party product. We have made several transfers from my daughter ‘s college investment account to her checking account both with USAA on the past two years and this is the first time a hold is placed and representatives are refusing to remove the release on funds, although they are fully aware that this is an internal transfer and no hold should be placed. Also, I want to bring to the attention that members of USAA Executive Resolutions Team come across as forceful and most times unwilling to resolve issues that requires immediate attention.
