A massive US bank is now closing accounts without warning according to several customer reports.

A Chase customer is currently asking for help as the bank abruptly closed four accounts without notice.

The person described the situation on Reddit where several other customers said they had been through the same exact experience.

On the Chase Bank subreddit, the customer wrote that they had four accounts, all of which were closed “without any notice at all.”

“When I called they refused to give me any information at all. They locked all my accounts and I can’t even transfer my money or withdraw it from an ATM.

“I have no idea what to do. I have so many bills about to be due,” they said.

In the comments, they further explained that they hadn’t recently made any big purchases or tried to cash a check, and in the past, they had only overdrafted the account once.

Another user replied that the same thing had happened to them during the pandemic.

“Worst experience I’ve had with any banks. Ruined my credit, no money to buy food, and almost went homeless,” they wrote.

Two weeks later they were sent a check for the remaining balance.

A third person shared a similar experience and urged the original poster to “don’t bother fighting the customer service or staff” on the decision as they won’t give out extra information.

Someone else added: “They also closed my account and they told me they have the right to close my account, just like I have the right to close my own account.”

The original poster didn’t share an update regarding whether or not they were able to resolve the issue.
