Consumer Narrative
Capital One is engaging in deceptive marketing concerning its " Early Paycheck '' feature. The bank claims that funds are made available as soon as the payer sends the deposit file. I have categorical proof this is not the case. I split my paycheck between XXXX and Capital One. My XXXX account is credited FOUR DAYS EARLY every pay period, confirming that the payroll file is sent by my employer and available to the banking system early. Capital One receives the same file yet consistently fails to credit the funds early, often waiting until the actual payday. This is a " bait and switch '' for consumers who choose Capital One based on their " Early Pay '' marketing. If smaller institutions like XXXX can process these files four days early, Capital Ones failure to do sowhile advertising it as a benefitis a deceptive practice. I am seeking a regulatory audit of Capital Ones internal ACH hold times for " Early Pay '' accounts.
