Imagine suddenly losing access to your own money for weeks—several Chicago-area Chase customers say that’s exactly what happened. People from Lombard to River North found their accounts frozen, with tens of thousands of dollars locked up and little explanation from the bank. For some, it meant scrambling to pay bills or support family. Chase says it’s about fraud protection, but these holds are causing real stress. If you’re planning a big deposit or withdrawal, let your bank know ahead of time and keep records. Has anyone else run into this? How did you handle it? #Business #MakeMoney #Chicago
