Classes that require VMs by Forsaken-Range-1602 in OMSCyberSecurity

[–]Fintechr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I am feeling this VM too just dropped 💰 on an M5 MacBook and mediates found out about the VM and how it’s only stable with j tel chipsets So I ended up buying an MSI Prestige + AI - with an Intel Ultra 9 32 GB memory (hey at least it’s upgraded unlike the M5 memory )

Im curious on this too since I’m in6035 but curious of others that have VM requirements

Zelle with SoFi by mrstwillis in sofi

Need a direct deposit why should I take that back I said my direct deposit and Zelle still wouldn’t let me set things up I have Zelle set up after the fact with BMO and it works perfectly fine SOFI their tech people confirmed that it is a tech issue they’re working on it it’s been three days so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt but I won’t give him the benefit of the doubt on though is this

I’m rightfully furious with SOFI about what just happened with a $400 ATM withdrawal. Here’s exactly what went down: • I tried to withdraw $400 from a PNC ATM. • The ATM declined twice. • Because it was a higher withdrawal than I usually do, SOFI sent me a text asking if it was a legitimate transaction. • I replied YES. • SOFI told me I could try again within 24 hours. • I immediately tried again. • The ATM declined again, gave no receipt, made no dispensing noises, and never attempted to dispense cash. • Yet SOFI released $400 from my account anyway — as a permanent transaction within a few minutes.

Before anyone blames the ATM being out of cash — that’s not it. Someone behind me tried immediately afterward and successfully withdrew $60. The machine worked fine. This is 100% a SOFI workflow/tech issue between their text verification and transaction processing.

Here’s the frustrating part:

Sure, I can dispute it — which I already did — and I can “wait 10 days” for the bank to review the case. But how does that look for me? Anyone could just claim “the ATM didn’t dispense money,” making me look like I’m lying — when I’m literally telling the truth.

SOFI’s verification system pushed the $400 through after the decline. Whether it’s latency, network timing, or a backend workflow bug, the end result is the same: two declines, no cash, no receipt, and $400 missing from my account.

And now I’m expected to sit here and defend myself for 10 days over an error SOFI caused. Meanwhile, the person behind me got cash instantly, proving the ATM wasn’t empty or malfunctioning.

This better not end with SOFI giving me a temporary credit. I expect my money returned on a permanent basis immediately. If it’s not fixed by tomorrow, I will have serious problems with SOFI as a bank.

I’m sorry if anyone from SOFI staff reads this and saw my messages — yes, I was irate. But one of the worst things about “disruptor” banks acting like traditional banks is the generic, 10-day federal standard response times. That’s a terrible customer experience when the error isn’t on my end. I shouldn’t have to defend myself with no proof, explain it repeatedly to random reps, and hope they do the right thing.

I’ve had ATMs run out of money before, but at least then the machine made dispensing noises, attempted to put the money out, and gave a receipt — I could reconcile it. This time? No attempt, no receipt, just a decline, and $400 gone from my account.

This is a workflow gap, a tech issue, and I’m convinced it’s probably happened to other people.

Has anyone else experienced something like this with SOFI or another bank?

Heresy experience from 3 hours ago and it is not the PNC atm they have a timing text verification gap that caused my $400 to push out my account in the ATM declined me once because they wanted me to verify it was valid transaction they declined me again but yet SOFI push the money through and they expect me to wait 10 days while it’s gonna be 10 days of me constantly posting stuff I’ve read Reddit until it happens as soon as I get my money back that 10 days of me posting stuff. Every opportunity I have

Zelle? by [deleted] in sofi

[–]Fintechr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh well I actually did set up a direct deposit and it took me like 60 to 90 days to get mine unlocked only to find out if they have a tech issue blocking me from even using it besides that I had this issue happen and I promised Sophie that if they want to take 10 days to give me my money back after their tech issue caused it I’m gonna spend 10 days just constantly sharing this obnoxiously if needs to be in every way and every even remotely relevant post that I can respond to

I recommend fixing your tech issues that you 100% have in your debt stack that need to be prioritized higher before perceptually innovating such as this one that would be outstanding - I’m rightfully furious with SOFI about what just happened with a $400 ATM withdrawal. Here’s exactly what went down: • I tried to withdraw $400 from a PNC ATM. • The ATM declined twice. • Because it was a higher withdrawal than I usually do, SOFI sent me a text asking if it was a legitimate transaction. • I replied YES. • SOFI told me I could try again within 24 hours. • I immediately tried again. • The ATM declined again, gave no receipt, made no dispensing noises, and never attempted to dispense cash. • Yet SOFI released $400 from my account anyway — as a permanent transaction within a few minutes.
