Consumer complaint received 2025-02-06 00:00:00
Product: Checking or savings account — Other banking product or service
Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, my banking information with Fifth Third Bank was compromised and my money was moved to one banking account to another and a XXXX transfer of {$1000.00} was sent to an unrecognized/unauthorized name and number. I received no notifications from Fifth Third Bank due to the unauthorized party who gained entry to my account to turn off my notifications with my banking application and adding their personal number to my banking account, authorizing a XXXX of {$1000.00}. 

I notified Fifth Third Bank of the issue when I discovered the above and the Disputes and Fraud departments both stated that there was " nothing '' they could do aside from dispute the XXXX amount of {$1000.00} with XXXX. There was no case opened with the bank to look into unauthorized access to my bank account, who moved the funds, and who the money was sent to because Fifth Third Bank stated there was nothing they could do about this issue. Fifth Third states that they have several security measures in place to protect the customer 's identity and information which they have failed to do even after being presented with proof that someone added their number to my banking account from another state that I do not live in. 

I called on XX/XX/year> and the representative did not ask me any personal questions to identify who was calling regarding my account which she was supposed to do. I opened a dispute with Fifth Third on XX/XX/year> to recover my funds and they stated it would take up to 10 business days ( excluding holidays ) to provide a decision. I called on XX/XX/year> and they further stated that they had no decision. I called again on XX/XX/year> and they stated that a decision was made on XX/XX/year> with no notice to me about the decision. 

On XX/XX/year>, I spoke with a representative in the Disputes department yet again and she stated that the claim was denied but gave no descriptive reasoning as to why. She further stated that the dispute was incorrectly notated to XXXX when asked about the message in my banking application that provides proof that someone added their number to my personal banking information from another state unauthorized. This information was not provided when opening my initial dispute and has further elongated my process to recover my funds so I believe Fifth Third failed to handle this situation properly on the basis that they should have looked into this issue of fraud more carefully and diligently.
