My latest Oaken SA statement (month of Sept.) has gone Wacko ❗
Instead of the small positive amount showing in my account, the latest Statement shows a Closing Balance of -$6.07 (yes, that's a Negative amount).
Other than small interest payments each month, my Oaken SA hasn't had any activity for over 4 months now. However, to keep the account active, I log into it once or twice a month.
I also checked five previous monthly statements. They all appear to be correct, except for this latest one.
I've sent Oaken an online message, asking them to look into this, and to correct the statement. I'll post what I find out, when they reply.
I hope no one else is having this problem.

To keep an account active, most FI req you to do a transaction. Simply logging in does not meet the requirment.
Maybe they ding you $10 for inactive fee ?

Good try ⬆ Savemoresaveoften, but . . .
- Even by that measure, my SA has only been inactive for ~ 4 months, so a charge like that wouldn't be warranted yet. And I just checked again ... no such charge has shown up in my online Oaken SA records.
Something really weird has gone on here. I'll wait till I hear back from Oaken
... hopefully by tomorrow.

Thanks for that ⬆ Pwr1019 ... at least they're acknowledging that something is wrong with some of their statements.
However, for myself, I have received no such message from Oaken. I'll check again, later today.

P.S.
And according to Iminterested above (Post #5), I'm not the only one with a Wacko SA statement from Oaken ❗

Update . . .
I just received a reply from Oaken re my September SA Statement enquiry that I sent them yesterday (see post #1 above). Their reply reads . . .

- Date: 12 Oct, 2022
Category: Statements and documents
Subject: My Savings Account Statement Is Incorrect
Message:
Good afternoon Dean,
Thank you for letting us know.
This has been forwarded to our back-office to investigate regarding the statement. We can confirm the balance in the Savings Account as of today is $***.** .
For further assistance with this inquiry please contact a customer service agent at 1-855-625-3622 Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm EST and Saturday 9am to 5pm EST. We will be happy to assist.
Kind regards,
-------------------------------
Given the fairly small amount in the account, I don't think their back-office will give this matter high priority, so I don't expect a quick resolution of the statement. But at least they did confirm the correct balance in the SA, so I'll let them figure the rest out, and wait to hear back.
All's well that 'Hopefully' ends well.

P.S.
Is anyone else having problems with their recent Oaken statements, in addition to Iminterested and I ❓
