I would give this bank a 0 if I could. I was issued a rewards card from work for great performance. It states it expires in 2025. Went to use it, and there was no money left on the card. It’s a scam! Customer service was absolutely awful when I called.

Ok Comerica cancelled my debit card so I was trying to buy something and got declined, I called customer service and waited hours to speak with a bunch of different people and they actually told me they had no clue to why my card was cancelled. I will be leaving Comerica tomorrow and finding a better banking company.

As a small business owner, my experience with Comerica Bank has been absolutely terrible. They are ravaging my account with constant nickel-and-dime fees that add up to hundreds of dollars in banking fees every month. It’s outrageous and completely unacceptable. On top of that, their customer service is unhelpful, their technology is outdated, and the overall experience has been the worst I’ve ever had with a bank. If you’re considering Comerica, stay far away! They are fee mongers and will bleed your business dry. I can’t leave them fast enough. Avoid at all costs!

My advice to anyone looking for a bank account or have paperwork notarized, I advise you to look somewhere else. The ladies are extremely rude and treat you (especially the men) like a common criminal. I had the worst experience trying to have paperwork notarized today. The notary lady barked at me like I was a stupid child, and when getting me back there to look at my paperwork I get ridiculed and had her co-worker laugh at me like I was an idiot. I will never step foot in Comerica Bank again.

I am not impressed. The staff is horrible, they overdraw me even when I had money still in my account. Don't bank here, I walked in. Asked to withdraw money. They told me no and said they were closed... It was 11:30 AM.

I recently opened an account with Comerica because my dad banks here. They had a promotion if you bring new money you get a higher interest rate. Going in to open the account was definitely different. I had 2 people telling me 2 completely different things. The following Monday I received a call from the branch manager stating he was on vacation and sorry for any issues and if there's anything he could do to help just give him a call. So here it is August 14th... my funds are still not available so I call the customer service line and they tell me the funds have cleared and I need to call the branch to release the funds.
Now remember the manager said to call if I needed anything. I spoke with him and he was giving me all kinds of crap saying they had to wait for the check to clear. So I told him it already had.... which he verified I was correct he just gave me the run around about 10 days... and apparently the 1st day don't count. The weekends don't count. And I'm still unsure why I can't have my money. It feels like a lot of unnecessary holds are going on for no apparent reason. So if you move your new money here to get the higher interest, be prepared for all the run around and not having access to your money for quite some time. As a business to customer stand point it's all a bunch of headaches and it NOT WORTH IT! Why put yourself through all the headaches.. just stay where you are!

Stay far, far away. My experience: traveling abroad I tried to login to one of my accounts with them. Their system say a foreign IP address and started asking questions I had no idea what the anwers should be, 20 years after opening the account. So after two (2) failed tries they lock me out. Obviously I called (another expense) the 888 numbers and I gave them EVERYTHING they needed to verify me as the owner: name, dob, last 4 of SS, account number, phone number, US address, etc.
Their response: there are two account connected to each other (checking/saving) and I need the info for the second account, account I have NEVER used. And because I didn't have the second account number, neither the first agent nor his supervisor helped me. For me it was IMPERATIVE to enter that account: for them it seemed it was a joke, just another sucker who had his money for over 20 years in their bank. But no more: as soon as I get back to the States I am taking all my money and closing my accounts with Comerica Bank, a joke of a bank!

I've been a good customer at Comerica Bank for 20+ years. Not after today. I have annual annuity checks that I've been depositing with Comerica Bank for 10 years with no issue. Today I went in the bank to make a deposit and they refused to accept the check. It was a humiliatingly experience and I couldn't believe they wouldn't deposit my check...To top if off I have a line of credit with the bank. What did they think I was going to do? The customer service was appalling. Chase Bank wants my business and they'll pay me $300.00 to open an account. Guess what?! I'm taking my business to a company who will appreciate me. Chase has a new customer.

I have been a life-long Comerica Bank customer, and relatively happy until today. The branch ATM powered down while I was making a deposit with two checks. The machine took my checks, and powered off so the transaction did not complete. The branch tells me that there is nothing they can do other than "investigate" through an unknown vendor that services the machine. The unknown vendor only "periodically" checks the ATM machine. So they cannot provide a date, nor a timeline for me on how long this so-called "investigation" will take, with this "unknown" vendor. In the meantime, I am without the monies in my account. A person's money is important and these large Corporations don't care about the inconvenience they are causing me, or anybody else in the same situation. An "investigation" into what you did with my money, without a definite completion date provided to me, is horrible customer service. I think I will be moving on from Comerica, not that it matters to them.
