Verification notes
Fifth Third Bank, National Association is a national bank supervised by the OCC (FDIC BankFind cert 6672). 53.com blocks automated page fetches and returns an error page that says to contact Customer Service at 1-800-972-3030. Every other value below comes from search-engine snippets of 53.com pages and could not be read on the page itself. Snippets give different overdraft fee amounts ($35 and $37 per item) and different lost-card numbers, so those are not recorded except where noted.
