As of date of publication, Chase bank has not responded to our continued requests for comment. Initially, we got in touch with Amy Bonitatibus from Chase Press department, who simply stated she was looking for more information. There were no further emails or responses.

The bank continues to seize customer funds, accusing them of “fraudulent” activity. Once the funds are seized, the bank keeps them. Bank representatives have told customers over the phone that their funds can be kept indefinitely, until “investigation” is complete. Chase refuses to provide any proof of such “investigation” and fails to even contact the customer themselves to ask questions about the seizure. The investigation is a ruse to steal customer funds outright under the guise of some kind of fraudulent activity.
Chase bank does not constitute a safe place to invest funds and we recommend any current Chase customer strongly considers whether to remain a customer. Any customer of Chase could have their funds seized at any time for any made up reason.
