Best Bank

Best Bank — The «worst bank» I have ever dealt with — but I’m sure this applies to all banks. I had my money in Best Bank for a number of years, and after looking at my June statement, notice all my money in my account went POOF — to the State of Michigan «unclaimed property fund». Yes, my money was sitting there for a number of years… so they figured I had abandoned it. I was getting my statements and forms for paying taxes — Anyway… I called Best Bank (In Milwaukee, Wisconsin) up to have them tell me they had sent out letters informing me what was about to happen — Yea sure! Oh… but what is really amazing… they do not tell you anything on your monthly bank statements concerning the account closing, which most people usually read — until that fateful day when you see the Debit Memo — your money is now with the State of Michigan. Good news… I was able to get through to the office of Michigan unclaimed moneys, and was told by a very helpful guy named John, that I had $ 80 unclaimed money due me from 2009 — WHAT! He could not see any of my other money from Best Bank, but did say June was a very busy month for there office, where thousands of account a day come in to them, that are unclaimed. Of what I can tell now… it will take several months to get my money back from the State of Michigan! So look out for your money in any saving accounts… All the banks or savings people have to do is say they sent out a notice, and do not have to includes any that information in the monthly statements you get — CRAZY.
