Arvest Bank

I pay before the account is due... I pay BEFORE and FULL amount each and every time. Try to surprise my fiancee with a ring... declined. Last night at Walmart.. $20... declined? WTF??!! Capitol One.. never does this. I'm trying to close the cc account and it's hell to get anyone to answer... Then I'm transferred to fraud... put on hold...hold...hold. I just want to close the CC account... Please. Santa.. all I want for Christmas is to close this CC account. Remember.. WALMART owns Arvest... explains a lot. Never again!!!

My husband and I went into Arvest Bank on Pleasant Grove Road in Rogers, Arkansas to purchase a CD. The branch manager is the person we needed to talk to about opening the CD. He was on the phone, and while we were waiting, two other people stepped in front of us and went into his office and did their business. He knew that we were waiting to see him as an employee of the bank had gone in to tell him. After 30 minutes, we left, and said to the branch manager- thanks for helping us- and he said- man, I’m busy. And I said- No problem, we will just go to another bank who wants our business. This bank doesn’t have the customer service it used to have. Lots of empty offices- no one but a scarecrow to greet you at the front.

Bank teller told me it will not close before my pay period. Obviously she lied so my check is just in limbo out there. Apparently she do not know how to do her

job. I will probably get evicted evicted. Damn.

I left Arvest a few months back. After my debit card was compromised 6 different times, I spent literal hours on the phone and at a branch asking what do I need to do differently. Although I realize that this is not the branch’s fault, I was very disappointed with the fact that the only advice I was given by the branch was to “Just stop using your Debit card”. I rebutted with, if you offer a service, I shouldn’t have to stop using it.

I just recently finalized a Balance Eraser Loan with Arvest Bank and of course, while you’re doing the transaction, everyone is nice and accommodating. When I was done with the rep she gave me a number and told me if I ever have any questions to please use that number. Actually, once I received the paperwork in the mail, the same phone number was listed as being customer service. On two occasions I have tried calling because I wanted to opt out of the monthly paper statements. The paperwork that was mailed to me specifically tells you to call the customer service number. I created an account online however any changes you want to make to your account must be made by phone.

UPDATED 10/10/2022: Absolutely terrible. Two fraudulent transactions were made on my card and Arvest Bank is clearly aware of this, I've wrestled with them for months trying to get my money back, they've come with every excuse in the world including some crap called "Regulation E". I just went on and closed my account, they deserve whatever comes their way for the way they've treated customers, if you have an account with Arvest Bank I suggest that you find another bank.

I've made a wire transfer to pay my business partner. It's been two weeks now. Money still on my account and in the bank they just keep saying that they still reviewing my transfer. Two weeks! I'm sure they just doesn't know how to do it. Total incompetency! Never even think to be a client of this bank!

I have been dealing with fraudulent charges on one of my accounts for the past 2 months. A month ago I was told and still have the emails that the dispute has been closed and I could go ahead and close the account it dealt with. I get a letter in the mail at the beginning of July the fraudulent case they did was denied (which is total crap because I wasn't in town when my car was used) and they re withdrew funds from my two open accounts that had nothing to do with the account the fraud charges were on. They lied to me in June and the fraud charges were $900. If they were still investigating the fraud charges they should have froze the account they were on. They have told me so many different stories on why and how their disputes work. I would tell anyone who uses Arvest not to. I have never had this much problem with a bank.

I left my bank of 30+ years, they were bought out by a non-US conglomerate and opened an account with Arvest. Moved all my direct deposit retirement monies to this account, deposited 35 k, these idiots sent me a broken skipping auto dialer nonsense message. Screw them. I'll put my money elsewhere.

They let two insurance companies keep stealing my money despite numerous request for reversals and blocks. Of 3500 I have received 300 back. They returned some of the oldest charges on one complaint but left 1000 dollars of the newest off and said it was on me. My truck has been totalled and was paid out by another ins company and still Arvest won't return 6 months premiums. Usaa even kept drafting when I did not renew and told them they were fired. Arvest would not help get it stopped. I AM A VET THAT JUST TOOK STELLATE GANGLION BLOCKS TO DEAL WITH ANXIETY AND MY BANK GAVE 2 ** WHEN I pleaded with them. They even left off my address when they mailed my new acct packet with all my info. My small post office caught it. Then they sent me an address request to the address.
