I would leave 0 or negative stars if possible! With that said Their customer service is a complete dumpster fire and so are their practices! Then when you try to work with them they tell you to GFYS! Bank with anyone other than this company! They are complete Shite!

Boa has great perks on paper. The issue is they make using the perks so incredibly painful that few want to capitalize on them. To replace a HELOC I already have and is secured with by the house and funds in my asset pool, they wanted me to write a letter saying how I have so much money and justify how I make to money I make annually. The perks are only perks if you can use them. I asked why they needed all of what they were asking for and was told “it’s just our policy”.

Worst customer service ever. I deposited. Worst customer service ever. I deposited a cashier check from Well Fargo Bank, they put on hold for more than ten days and no one at Bank of America that I can talk to for reason of holding a cashier check from Well Fargo Bank, they put on hold for more than ten days and no one at Bank of America that I can talk to for reason of holding.

I have been a Preferred Honor member of BofA. I have had excellent service from my local bank. However, dealing with BofA Claims has been a great disappointment.
2. A few times they promised to call me back, and when they did, they hung up on me.
3. Images of all the transactions have been faxed to the claims department.
The tremendous time I had invested in trying to correct the wrong of the Claims Department is not worth the insults nor the money. I will leave this incompetent, unprofessional service. Thank you.

If I could give less than one star, I would. This bank has gone downhill and has the absolute worst customer service and policies in the industry. I am in the process of closing my accounts with them and moving to another bank. I hope to never deal with this bank ever again.

I would give a zero rating if possible. Bank of America is by far, hands down the worst financial institution I have done business with. Frankly I don't trust Bank of America with my money. Simple everyday tasks such as paying for groceries, when the funds are available in my account, ready to use and should be easily accessible, are complicated AF! As soon as I get my debit/atm cards in the mail I'm withdrawing all my funds and don't give AF what happens to the account when it closes because I guarantee you I WILL NOT be coming back. If this is how they do business with their customers, the institution will not last much longer. Furthermore, Bank of America seems to not care that I'm in a unique situation, meaning there is no physical locations anywhere close to me in the state I live in. The nearest bank is an hour away.
To any young people that are beginning their financial management journey, I would STRONGLY recommend you choose better options. DO NOT GIVE YOUR MONEY TO THIS BANK. Once they have it, they will not give it back even when it's rightfully yours. The online banking experience is atrocious. The app is glitchy, sometimes difficult to navigate, crashes at times, and whatever issue you're having just gets wrote off to the AI assistant "Erica." I deeply regret making the decision to do business with Bank of America and cannot wait to withdraw all of my funds and look for better financial institutions.

I am writing to formally report a deeply disturbing pattern of behavior regarding the manager, Elzora, at this location. As a loyal customer of over 40 years, I am appalled to witness her continuously harass and humiliate senior and disabled customers.Instead of addressing her history of poor customer relations—which led to her transfer from the St. Charles branch due to similar complaints—this company is enabling her to target our most vulnerable community members. I urge corporate leadership to immediately pull the security footage and launch a full investigation into her conduct on July 20, 2026, at 4:45 PM. How this behavior is allowed to continue is unacceptable, and I expect a prompt explanation of the actions taken to rectify this situation.

Worse bank to deal with, and now they partner with Zelle and the customer service is worse. Fraud claims are never actually investigated. Customer service will tell you one thing and do another. I recently was scammed out of $500.00 Zelle assured me they could dispute it and I would be able to show my proof I was scammed. Nope. They allowed the person to continue scamming and stealing people's money. I would not recommend this bank to anyone. There is no protection as their customer.

I am extremely disappointed with Bank of America’s customer service. I have been trying for two weeks to obtain information about my bank accounts for a legal matter, and despite calling every day, my issue remains completely unresolved. Each time I call, I spend 30 to 45 minutes on hold or speaking with representatives who are unable to provide any answers or solutions. To make matters worse, when I finally asked to speak with a manager, the call was disconnected. This level of customer service is unacceptable.
As a longtime customer, I expected professionalism, communication, and a willingness to help. Instead, I have experienced endless delays, poor customer support, and no resolution. Bank of America needs to do a much better job training its staff and ensuring customers can actually reach someone with the authority to solve problems. My experience has been incredibly frustrating, and I sincerely hope no one else has to go through what I have.

I been Bank America customer for 40 years. Unfortunately happen to me I was SCAMMED for a very large amount of money... There was several unauthorized charges made by scammers from my checking account. To my surprise, I received a letter from BOA that my account is closed and will never be able to reopen my account again. I was totally shocked; after all these years being customer, instead helping me in this absolutely devastating time. No explanation why such a decision was made. I am very disappointed with this Organization.... I tried to call customer service; no one would tell me why they did that. Some of the associates were not very friendly with me as well.

I wasted hours trying to solve a simple mistake BofA made. Unapologetically poor service, ridiculously bad phone support and disagreement between the branch and the main customer support made me decide to switch to a different bank.

Going to change banks due to a claim I made. They are saying I made a charge. I know that I did not. They are going to take the money plus any fees for investigating the claim. I am going to close all of my accounts and bank with someone else. I feel as though they are calling me a liar.

This review is for my multiple visits for the Cerritos Mall branch of BofA. Prior to my visit, I always made appointments to ensure I don’t have to wait. Each time (at least 3 times) in the past 6 months, I had to wait a long time just to check in since there’s only 1 person at the front, in addition, wait another 30 minutes for my appointment. What’s the point of appointments if they can’t keep them?

Predictably horrible bank, no concern AT ALL for customers, it's all just about greed. They're up to something with the new rewards program - there's at least one deliberately dishonest bait-and-switch mechanism involved. If you dig around enough... you'll find "Checking accounts may have a monthly maintenance fee if waiver requirements aren’t met." But of course the "waiver requirements" don't exist anywhere customers can find them. So BoA wants its commodities - er, uh, customers... to sign up for recurring charges by BoA without being aware of those charges. Really it's outright theft more than it's bait-and-switch... Almost an hour & 3 calls later I'm waiting on another callback after being hung up on by the system. Got the call back again - they simply do not know what the waiver requirements are.

Stay away from this Corporation. I was a cardholder for over 25 years with 50,000 line of credit. I made two Zelle transactions, each for 500 dollars, two weeks ago. I have been trying to cancel them since the very moment I made them. I have been put on hold, transferred, put on hold for hours. Their chat options is the same total non-functioning. I canceled mine today. They have set up a dispute with the company I sent the money. They never got the money, so why is there a dispute? They didn't do anything, and they haven't been paid.
I went to the location branch today at 4:55 pm. The entry door says it closes at 5:00. I was the only customer there, along with 3 BOA staff. I walked up to the counter and for some help with a Zelle transactions. They said they couldn't help because they were closing. It's right on the door that the bank stays open until 5 pm. They seemed confused, misinformed or under pressure to make sure the lights go out exactly at 5, even though they should be open..... STAY AWAY.

I have been a Bank of America customer for over 20 years, and my experience has continued to get worse. I've been trying to remove my name from a minor account for a long time. Because the account was opened when one of the account holders was a minor, both of us have been told we need to appear together. The problem is that the other person lives out of town in an area where there isn't a Bank of America nearby. We've made several attempts to resolve this, and customer service, along with employees at other Bank of America branches, told us that both account holders could come into a branch together to complete the process.
Today, we went to the Bank of America branch at 474 N. Frederick Avenue in Gaithersburg. The branch manager, **, was rude and dismissive from the start. Rather than helping us, she repeatedly insisted that I go to another nearby branch, even though we had already coordinated for both account holders to be at separate Bank of America locations at the same time because of the distance involved. There were only two customers in the lobby ahead of me, and they were together. ** kept emphasizing that they had appointments and that appointment customers are always assisted first. However, the amount of time she spent explaining why she couldn't help me was more than enough time to simply handle our request. Instead of looking for a solution, she chose to argue the policy and send me somewhere else.
When I asked to speak with a manager, ** responded with a dismissive attitude. Her body language, including rolling her eyes, was unprofessional, and she replied, "I am the manager," in a manner that made it clear she had no interest in addressing my concerns or helping resolve the situation. After more than 20 years as a loyal customer, I expected much better service. This experience was frustrating, disappointing, and a complete waste of our time. Bank of America needs to do a better job training employees and managers to provide consistent information and treat long-time customers with respect. Unfortunately, this branch did neither.

My experience with Bank of America was horrible and disappointing. After banking with them for almost 8 years, they decided to close all of my accounts. No explanation given, and on top of that keep 696.18 on one of the accounts and 1,870 on another account. I am sick and on disability and they don’t care. They are saying they the accounts won’t be close until the end on August, do not open a bank account with Bank of America. They are deceiving and horrible at explaining or facing their customers, I wouldn’t want to go through what I am going through.

I just want to start saying reviews are 1.7 stars? Now I know why I am getting ripped by your bank. On February this year I received a letter by mail offering 2 checking accounts with bonus, first business checking depositing 20000 you will received 750 after 90 days of holding the money into the account. Second personal checking with 10000 you will received 500 same deal. In May I did received the bonus from the business checking but not the personal. I went to the bank and I spoke with the banker who open the account for me and told me at that time that all I need is keep the money for 90 days in both accounts. She call I don’t know who with me present and they told her that I did not qualify for the bonus, because I need to do 2 direct deposits.
Just to understand this, banker knew that I was a self employed and she did not know if I had direct deposit. Also to clarify I did have the way to deposit, this is how I get pay myself. Anyway if she told me that before it was no problem for me to do the 2 direct deposits. I was given the wrong information, but what it got me off is I gave 30000 dólares to the bank to make money and I did not receive what I was offered. If manager or anyone from management want to contact me just reply a phone number that I can reach. I am just telling you that I will go further with this.

Warning: Disorganized, Rude, and Algorithm-Driven! I am writing this to expose the completely unprofessional behavior of this bank. When calling their customer service line, the representatives were extremely rude, impatient, and clearly uninformed about basic procedures. Worse yet, during the call, they actually admitted that client negotiation terms and decisions can change "every single day."
This essentially confirms that they are not looking at your personal financial profile or treating you like a human being. Instead, they are manipulating negotiations and decisions based on daily computer algorithms. This bank is a total sham. They change the rules whenever it suits them, and their staff has zero clue how to help. Save yourself the headache and take your business to a bank that actually values its customers! Highly recommend you do your homework.

BOA is absolutely terrible!!! We have been using them for the last 6 months for our small-business checking account, and they routinely place 12+ day holds on our checks. There is nothing unusual about the checks we deposit, as we have a construction company and most are in a similar range. If you call their "customer service" to try and get the check cleared faster, they WILL NOT help you. They absolutely do not care about their customers. (Because they have so many worldwide- why would they?!) I don't understand the point of even hiring customer service reps when they can't actually help you with anything.
Additionally, we recently brought in a $ 22,000 check, and they entered it as $22. We had to wait 5+ days for them to fix THEIR mistake, which also involved going to our local branch multiple times. Not sure whether they are trained to stonewall their clients or just lazy. We are currently looking for another bank. If I could give less than one star, I would.
