This happened to me (a black woman) this week in Texas. My check was rejected for days for mobile deposit. Then blocked for further attempts for mobile deposit with the message that the "security certificate" was not valid. When I called 3 days into rejection, I was told that I didnt hsve enough money in my account to cover the check if it was not valid. I was told to go into bank where the branch had the right "to refuse" to deposit it. So I dont know why they wanted me in branch. I told the CSR it was discrimination to refuse to accept my mobile deposit and tell me to go into bank. This meant that I dont have the mobile deposit service available to other customers. After the call, the bank took one of my attempted mobile deposits and approved it and just held money. So my bills are late and I have been assessed fees I couldnt afford to pay.

[@hifelisha6299]

I was a bank teller in college. This is beyond racist. When someone comes in with a large check to cash or deposit it is typically put on an automatic hold. The funds are verified during that holding time. The bank employees were being the evil racists they are. I hope she gets what she is suing for plus additional punitive damages. Because these bank employees were jealous of this beautiful black woman’s accomplishments, they cost the bank a lawsuit and probably lost their crappy jobs.

[@BerserkPublishing]

I'm a retired IT manager from a large bank. The first questions were valid. Because of money laundering laws questions like what do you do, where is the check from, and other personal informamation is required. However, that information is to help the teller investigate if money is possibly illegal, not whether or not a check is fake. As mentioned in the video, the teller could have called the issuing bank or business. Additionally, I can tell you as a white dude, any checks over a couple hundred dollars are deposited on a hold until they are validated and cleared by the bank they come from. So, their argument that they won't even try to deposit it because they think it is fake is total BS. I worked in a few industries in my IT career, and believe me, the banking industry is among the worst. Insurance companies are probably the only places that treat people worse than banks. Also, the bigger the banks, the worse the experience. Local credit unions are normally a better place to bank, if you can get hooked into one.

[@funnyfarm5555]

And then not all credit unions are good. We left one after banking there for years after they screwed up our account and said it was our fault. I told them that if they do not fix it; my wife and I are leaving their credit union and so will many members of my family. I did not tell them this, but I worked for a very large business and had face to face contact with many people each day and I can tell people I know not to bank there. They finally fixed the issue but with no real apology so we left anyway and love the credit union we are at now for over 20 years.

Whens l go to Houston, I stay with her sometimes and that area is filled with successful Black People. They were just messing with her and if the check was a good, what difference does it make she wasn't trying to cash it. She was trying to deposit it and even if she were ghetto, these young people have money. They all are on the internet making money and small businesses. My niece is a hair stylist and she is only 22 years old and she did a wedding and got paid $8,000 for doing the hair. So these tellers were probably just jealous because black people were not supposed to be making that type of money BUT there's no need to withdraw your money out of Chase because this is not a policy of theirs.

An older family friend who had worked in a bank prior and was then in law school happened to be there one day and witnessed me asking the teller why they were still wanting to put a hold on my county-issued payroll check and she intervened and blew up and demanded to see the manager and she lit into them both about verification procedures, protocol, and discrimination, etc., etc. The manager profusely apologized and instructed the teller to never do that again under these circumstances. This was in the 1970s. Now we're in 2022 and this discriminatory and disparity crap is still in operation!!????? Sue the "F" out of them good, doc!!!

[@teetawn9454]

Wow, what an awful experience u had to consistently deal with back then. Thank God that family friend came through and represented.

[@robertatkinson7258]

@@teetawn9454 Yep, it sure was great timing that she happened to be there right at that moment and was such a very well-spoken and OUT-SPOKEN kind of person about wrongs being done to anyone. :)

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING... Never should've Occurred, Just Deplorable!! I Can't believe this happened to her.

[@thehighlander3241]

Carla Perry Agreed, but this will keep happening as long as we remain in the Western world. The black skin makes most non-black people feel uneasy, weird, didn't you know? By the way, what are you wearing in your Profile Pic? I'm so obssesed with women's sexy lingeries and clothes 🥰🥰🥲

I'm so sick of hearing that response from black people, it's ridiculous! Y'all sound like disingenuous Caucasians.

[@theurbanartist775]

The same thing happened to me this year with Regions bank. I have an account with them, pulled up driving a s550 Mercedes and the teller had the audacity to say my check was fraudulent ($10,000). And gave it to me in writing. Nevertheless the check went through maybe 5 days later but I couldn’t make payroll that week because of them insinuating that my check was fraudulent. 😒 I’m so tired of the way we’re getting treated in this county. As if we’re incapable of being successful👈🏾

[@aggydreams]

CANDACE OWENS SAYS WE ARE PLAYING VICTIM. NOTHING IS HOLDING US BACK. Yet here I am in a comment section filled of black professionals telling their. I guess we should all marry a white person like she did so we can stop being victims 🤣🤣🤣 Facck MSN that lady is a whole clown 🤡

[@leontinemccain5170]

As if we are incapable of being successful is the true mindset of the average white person... Somehow they aren't wrong... Capitalism was created on the basis of having superior empires whom construct their wealth on the back of "lesser" people or "savages". Capitalism is inherently racist, imperialism is inherently racist, classisme is inherently racist. We won't get rid of racism as long as we don't fight the root cause of that racism which is capitalism... Capitalism needs hierarchical structures to survive, to get rid of racism we need to get rid of those hierarchical structures that have put black people (both African and indigenous Australian or any other indigenous population in the world) at the bottom of those structures. Anti-racism=anti-capitalism. Some of you may not like to hear this but that's the way it is.

My husband and I did excellent business with Chase for 25 years-our business accounts and personal accounts were all with them. We paid EVERY loan off early, credit was stellar and our standing with them (and our other creditors) was impeccable. We applied for a business loan; they were willing to give us only 50,000. Our loyalty to them, our records, our credit history meant nothing to them...nothing. 50k was a SLAP in the face. I told them as much and closed every single account we had as well as paid off our mortgages. They didn't even flinch. We've been doing great business with M&T for YEARS now :). CHASE can SUCK it as far as we're concerned.

[@khloe7878]

Well, I think that we should boycott Chase Bank We need to stop given them our money and take are money to another bank that will appreciate us money a bit after we do all that those are taking our money then when they lose customers not only just customer but black customers

Imagine working so hard and tirelessly to gain the prestige of calling yourself a doctor to have all that positivity be crushed by a chalk woman/man bank teller who's jealous they didn't work hard to achieve that status.

Exactly. It’s so sad. It’s like no matter how educated or professional a black person is, some of our counterparts will ALWAYS question our education, profession and our character ! This is sad ! Very unprofessional and racially unjust for those people in the bank to have done to her ! Glad she spoke up ! This should never be tolerated ! Ever!

@@1tenacityify girl yes!!! Last year veterans day my chalk neighborhood, a man btw, went on a racist rant out of nowhere. I turned the corner in my car and before you know it he was calling me all type of N words, I didn't belong in the neighborhood yadda yadda in the middle of the street not letting my car pass him...sad thing is I did call the police, he apologized or attempted to I was fuming and told him screw his apologies and the real terrorist of America are chalk people. The police didn't do anything but write a report for such a negative unwarranted attack against me..smh..I'm still traumatized by that experience....I've never been treated so badly in my life.
