I just don't get it. I successfully opened up an account and funded it 500 dollars using my USAA military bank checking account. A few days later, I successfully transferred 102.00 from my same USAA banking account using ACH. A few days later, I attempted a 1000 transfer from the same USAA bank (my US Bank limit said 2,500), and my US Bank account got frozen for fraud. After 48 hours, they unfroze my account. The rep said everything is fine, and making a transfer shouldn't be an issue in the future. So, a few days later, I went ahead and attempted to make another transfer, this time for 500. My US Bank account got frozen again. I was told by the rep that the fraud department froze my account, and she didn't know why bc that's a different department. I waited another 48 hours and when I called for them to unfreeze my account again, I was told my account has been set for closure due to fraud and a letter been sent out to me by mail explaining why. I received the letter a week later, and the letter just said my account is being closed bc suspected of irregular activity. When I called for further explanation, I was transferred multiple times to multiple departments with no one who understood what was irregular. I was repeatedly told it was done by a department that cannot be reached by customers and that they would try to reach out for further clarification. It's been a week, and no further clarification has been provided, despite me reaching out a few times over the week. Now I'm just waiting for them to close out my account and my 602 dollar check. I have done multiple bank promotions like these and have never experienced this.
By any chance you used a VPN when you logged in to your account?
My account was frozen when I first logged in using the app with my VPN opened. I read online a lot people had this same issue, so make sure you don't use VPN with USbank.

What a PITA trying to fund it.

My main bank halted my $ transfer and placed a fraudulent activity marker on it. This happened after I verified the US Bank account with my main bank (Ally). Ally said something on USB's side is the cause. 🤦 ♂️
Any chance you had VPN active when you did the transfer or logged in to your account?

Nope. I used my phone app without any VPN. In all honesty, I never used a VPN on my phone.

I checked again, under setting, more connections. phone under VPN says "None"

Same thing happened to me, also did not use a VPN. I haven't done anything but try to fund my account from an external source. If I were such a risk, how did they approve me to begin with?

I too am waiting for my money back and if they take more than 10-14 days, I'm going to be filing complaints. The whole failed deal was such a waste of time of multiple phone calls. When I talked to them, they said because I am flagged in their system, they will never do business with me in the future so don't try. From reddit posts, it looks like there isn't anything we can do, and if it was this much work in the first 1.5 weeks of the new account, I shudder to think what a pain it will be later. I think their fraud/risk model must be very broken.

No VPN. I think it was bc I did two pulls and a push of funds to the US Bank account, so they thought it looked like suspicious activity.

I've done lots and lots of new account bonuses, but I'm staying away from this one. Thanks for the heads up SD community.

This sounds worse than the Wells Fargo sign up deal 3-4 years ago.

Umm US Bank is basically the best $0 everything bank that gives you access to Zelle. That's covering quite a lot for a business account that doesn't ask you for a single penny.

Hmm, is that what I was flagged for? I wonder if that was why they closed my account. I transferred from a personal account to my business account. If that is why, why couldn't they just communicate that rather than close my account? With that said, I still can't get a straight answer, so who knows.
