      ****** ***** (MVB Bank) has allowed hackers to take over my account with a fake email address and phone number, allowed them to steal almost $9,000 from my account, and attempt over $12,000 in transactions from my *****t account. I have contacted them and begged them on multiple occasions, probably 30 or more times, with no resolution, no communication, and no effort to return my money or my compounded interest. They continue to allow the hackers to access my account but deny me the ability to access my information. They are not responding and I need help right away. This is something that is inexcusable. They don't have a phone number to call and the fraud unit is entirely unresponsive.

      My name is Amanda Randall. I am a ****** ***** client on behalf of MVB Bank whose account was closed 1 day after receiving the advertised Refund Advance. I was told by employees there was no specific reason as to why my account closed but that is not half of the issue. I was told I would receive a check for the balance in my account ($451) at the time of closure to my address on file, which was incorrect, after I updated it within the App, which shows my current address in App. I submitted a ticket on 01/29/2024, uploaded the necessary documents into the portal, to have my address updated on the back end, and it has yet to be updated. In the meantime, a check with the advance refund balance ($451) was sent to the incorrect address and returned to the bank due to the error. I submitted additional tickets (Case Number#********) a total of 6 times to attempts to rectify the “address update” issue, with still no movement or resolve. I have since received my federal tax refund ($9401), to this closed account on 02/22/2024, in which MVB bank is holding my funds without releasing either by check (to correct address) or returning to the Internal Revenue Service. I also submitted a ticket for this issue with MVB bank’s customer service, who simply forwarded the request back to ****** ***** without resolve. I am contacting you to DEMAND release of my funds immediately, as it has since caused financial hardship. I have filed a consumer complaint with The ******* ******* and will be hiring an attorney if my funds are not released in a timely manner. 30+ days is more than enough time to update an address and issue a check, but holding my funds without resolve is unacceptable.

      The customer support team worked diligently with you to confirm your identity and update the address on file. Once the address was updated a check was reissued on March 4, 2024 for the full remaining balance of the account, $8,352.09, to the updated address on file.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.



      Our family will continue to look into this with the business and or file a complaint when my son is back in the country.

      The merchant canceled the order and refunded the money, but a week has passed and MVB still hasn’t refunded the money.Now I need to know the progress of the refund and when will I be refunded?
      My account number is: **** **** **** ****

      Date: 02/14/2024

      We researched your complaint and reviewed your account history. ***** Inc’s internal monitoring program to prevent fraudulent activity on your card generated an alert for higher than normal return rates. This caused the refund to be withheld while this activity was being researched.
      On February 12, 2024 the investigation was concluded and the refund of $680.00 was initiated to your card. On February 13, 2024 confirmation was received from ***** Inc the refund was completed and should appear on your card.

      ****** ***** / MVB Bank made a duplicate deposit of a payroll check. Customer Service said it was a “glitch with the bank” this happened on 12/9/23 which is the week I was expecting my Christmas bonus to be deposited through direct deposit into my about. On December 11th the deposit was withdrawn leaving me with a negative balance of over $600.00. I was told by a customer service agent that they would contact me via email and that he did not have an ETA when I could expect that. I adored him to close both my accounts and get informed me that the other department would also handle that request. I works like to know how many other customers were affected by this “glitch” and what if any recourse this company should be held accountable for. No, Virginia there isn’t a Santa Clause because MVB Bank had a glitch!

      We researched
      your complaint and reviewed your account history.  Due to a system issue an ACH deposit that
      posted on Thursday, December 7, 2023 also posted a second time on Saturday,
      December 9, 2023, a non-banking day.   The
      duplicate deposit was corrected and reversed on Monday, December 11, 2023.  A communication was sent to all accountholders
      affected by Friday, December 15, 2023.

      You contacted
      support regarding the duplicate deposit thinking it was a bonus payment and by
      reversing the deposit created a negative balance in your account. 

      We apologize
      for any inconvenience this may have caused. If the duplicated deposit has
      caused you to incur fees with any biller/financial institution, please let us
      know so that we can take care of it for you as soon as possible. We can assure
      you that we are working very hard to prevent this type of issue in the future.
      Thank you for your understanding, and if you have further questions, please

Upon checking I got a email saying that my account would be closed and I would get a check in the mail , and any incoming direct deposits would be returned no explanation at all , however when I talked to an agent they told me my account wasn’t closed and it was being investigated. My work check went into the account still .I was pissed because I have a email saying it would be closed so why is ****** ***** investigating anything still . I’m about to be homeless because of this I literally have no money because my savings and checking account is locked.

      MVB Bank just sent me an email that they are closing my accounts. No reason for the closing, just closing my accounts. My accounts have always been in good standing. I have previously contacted the bank on fraudulent charges to my account. The bank would credit those charges but a few days later would charge them again. I would inquire as to why and they would say they were **lid charges in though they were from States outside of where I live or travel. I asked for the documentation that they mention in the email that states I am e titled to that shows the basis for the determination of the said charge. Every time I spoke with customer service they would say I'm sorry we don't have it! Now my Veterans Disability check is being deposited into MVB Bank and according to their email they will be returning it. I called the ** pay department they cannot do anything until it is sent back to them. Most return or transfer actions with MVB Bank take 7 to 10 business days to transact. So what am I as a disabled Veteran supposed to live on? Do I get compensation as far as I interest and inconvenience? Is the FDIC going to do anything with this Bank as far as not investigating Fradulent charges, not returning customers money from said fraudulent charges and the unable or unwilling to provide the documents that the bank supposedly based their decisions on!
      Absolutely the worst "Customer Service" I have ever received from anywhere ever!

      Credit Karmas Intuit Money Card at MVB Bank inc.
      On July 11th both my accounts savings and checking were frozen. I get direct deposit from my employer. I did report suspicious activity after I received confirmation codes I did not request. The amount of $1,257.94 has been frozen for the past 11 days. I need to pay rent... I did all the necessary verifications to prove I am in fact the owner of the account. I have yet to hear from the proper department in charge of this matter. When I continue calling and sending emails back and forth they always have the same answer... The department handling this matter will send an email but still has not. They don't even give an estimate of how long it may possibly take to finish the investigation.
