Never have I left a negative review of this bank.   Always, I have given good reviews on sites asking about my personal bank, United Community, until now!  I asked 3 wks ago if I'd be charged a fee for transferring $ to an outside bank.  A rep in Blairsville I'd been transferred to said he'd check, coming back to the phone saying " no, there is no fee."  

Well there is, and I have phoned 3 x's speaking to 3 different people at UCBI in Clayton.  I noticed finally that they removed the savings account I'd linked to my checking, as I couldn't get it off when I realized they indeed, charged me a fee of $6.00 to deposit $4.00.  I asked them to remove the linked account.

Let's back up to the beginning, shall we?  And see how much sense what happened to me makes.

First, I called my bank to see if there is a fee to transfer money to an outside bank, I was told no.  Hence, I opened a savings account elsewhere and then I'm charged a fee by United Community for the transaction!  Why would I put money in another bank, to earn interest and be charged more than I earn in interest from my savings account to pay fees to United Community for putting the money there in the first place?!  Where is the rationale in this, do tell?

Until today, in the years I've had United Community as my personal bank, I enjoyed being a customer.  I've referred other clients to them as well.  Today it stops.  United Community could have reversed the $6.00 fee as a courtesy when I asked them to.  

And I was being polite to ask, it wasn't my fault to begin with and I shouldn't have asked at all, it was human error from the male rep at the Blairsville branch.  Still, it's the same bank and my local bank should have corrected the mistake.  

Never did I peg United Community as a ripoff to its loyal customers, until, today.  I tend to forward this review to the President of this local bank in Clayton.  I was prepared googling his name prior to writing this review just in case the issue wasn't resolved.

I have never had a bank that was so friendly and helpful in every way.  They always recognize me, ask me about my day and how they can help.  I enjoy going to the lobby or driving through or calling on the phone - it is always uplifting.  Good hometown bank - don't want to bank anywhere else.
