I need for one thing to know what I can do to resolve my circumstance to what happened. In other words, I want a different consequence to my situation. It isn't fair that I was turned into ChexSystems after the bank was paid the full amount owed, without even waiting or asking for their money. They got their money, pronto and fast. But because of what it dealt with, the ATM, and that it was night time, dealing with a payroll check going through my account at night through the ATM, that looked sketchy to them. Then they found out all the other stuff that was going on to do with the bad check. My son came to me with a payroll check for a company he was working for for 3 weeks. After work one night Friday night, asked me to cash his check, $916 check. I did. A week went by I had only given my son $400 that night, the next day I gave him another $200. My son told me to keep the rest.
I never dreamed the check was no good or that the bank it was written on was a closed bank for 5 YEARS! I'm not up on all that kinds of stuff, I will be from now on though. So I found out I was overdrafted by $636 or something like that, and I hit the roof. I went to the bank and asked them what are they talking about, they told me. I talked to my son, he didn't know either, and the company after the 2nd check my son gave me to cash another one. The company disappeared, so it all landed on me and my shoulders. The bank blamed me, closed my account, my Pastor from my church came to pay my outstanding bill, cause I'm on a fixed income. I was just trying to help my son, and the bank said they had no reason to put me to chex systems since it was paid. But the next day, after the account was closed chex systems had been called, and I couldn't open an account anywhere else or get credit any where else either.
I'm ruined. Is this fair to any one out there. I didn't do this, a disreputable company did this. Because it was through an ATM they called it fraud they said that's why it was put through chex systems. But the whole amount was paid. Is that still Fair? So why don't they just call a halt to all procedures to do with any kind of night check cashing at ATMs from now on, and stop blaming innocent people like a 58 year old disabled widow who was just trying to help her son after her son got off work. I'm ruined now for what 7 years, I don't even know if I have another 7 years to live on this earth. So I'm to what suffer without credit, or without a new car, or a new anything until I die? Cause I helped my son? Really? This is FAIR?

I have a 5-year auto loan that I've been paying 1.5x to 2x the monthly amount to pay it off significantly faster. 1 year ago, I was about 8 to 12 months ahead on my payments and because of this decided to instead of continuing to pay off the car I build up savings for a house downpayment. 7 days ago my auto account went from being ahead to being back to normal, i.e. I owned monthly payments again. I totally forgot as I was 12 months ahead of payment and didn't remember the date that I needed to start paying monthly amounts again.
Let's be clear, I messed up. I should have been more on top of when I owe them money again but the late fee was almost 75% of the normal payment. $300 late fee. So I paid them massively in advance for 3 years and made a 7-day mistake in year 4 and they are charging me an absurd late fee penalty. I'll never ever use this company again. They just want to squeeze every penny out of you. Do yourself a favor and stay away from these technically legal corporate criminals and immoral uncaring company.

I am a realtor with Keller Williams. And I can say that US Bank is ruining their name in our company, for sure! I have a seller that is to close tomorrow morning and still have no payoff paperwork from them! Were you considering using US Bank for your home loan needs? DON'T DO IT! They will leave you unable to close and ruin your reputation as a realtor and ruin your consumer experience! If you are going to foreclose and decided to sell, well great market to do this as you will actually walk with some money but not if you are using US Bank. Obviously they do not want to get paid and will leave your buyers unsatisfied at the closing table! Thanks US Bank for being so "on top of your game!??" Isn't getting paid what keeps them in business? And they won't send payoff paperwork?? Hmmm looks like bad business to me and all of my co-workers! Not getting a referral from us!

In 2015, we filed bankruptcy and decided against keeping the house. We accepted the loss of our home. We have a disable child and only one income. We started the move-out process to prevent our children from being at house when eviction notice came. We went back to retrieve some of the last things remaining in house to find the locks had been changed. US Bank and their attorney, The Atlantic Law Group, had not notified of us of anything. The house was still in our possession. We contacted sheriff's office and attorney. No notices have been filed by either party. US Bank stated on phone call that sale date was Nov 5th. They did not know who had changed locks since there was no lock box outside the house. Attorney's office was no different. We meet with attorney to discuss our rights.

I called customer service to notify them of fraudulent activities that arose on my account from my business PayPal account. I told them I had already notified PayPal and they were working on the charges, but I was just calling out of courtesy and professionalism. I was then advised to speak with the fraud department by the customer service representative. I explained the fraud was already notified to PayPal and I was just calling to let them know, but I was transferred to the fraud department anyhow. The fraud department placed my whole business account on hold and there was nothing I could do. I was told I could not speak with a supervisor because there were none available, nor could I obtain the full name of the person who did this to my account. I left a message for the supervisor and was left with hours of unnecessary work to change bank accounts and everything that was attached to it.

US Bank advertises: Our online application is fast, simple and completely secure. Fast Five minutes is all it takes to open a checking account online. Simple Use a credit or debit card to make your opening deposit. I moved to Vegas August 13, 2015 and found a house with my boyfriend on September 13, 2015. Since my bank does not have branches in Vegas, I felt that opening a local checking account would be beneficial. I decided on US Bank as they are close to my house and in a grocery store (Smith's), which I frequent.
So I opened account ** online on Thursday, October 1, 2015. On October 2nd I deposited a check for $28.50 for my opening deposit at the Jones Branch North Las Vegas NV. On October 13th I received my US Check Card at address where I reside. I went to Branch, showed my Oklahoma Driver's license and activated the bank card and set my pin. I was not advised of any issues with the account. This is where the nightmare begins:
I received call from US Bank (Carol) on October 14th at 6:45 pm advising my account is on hold, pending further verification and I am not able to use it. I asked to speak to supervisor and was advised he is gone for the day. I requested call back for the next day. No call back occurred. I called US Customer Service the next day, October 15th, and they called the Jones North Las Vegas Branch and I was told a call back would occur within 45 minutes from Branch Manager. No call back occurred. I received 2nd letter from US Bank with my pin number for the debit card at my North Vegas Address. Next day October 16th, I called District Manager Malcolm ** at 11:45 AM and left a message with the issue my main concern being that none of the promised callbacks ever occurred. Again no call back occurred (3rd attempt).
Today October 17th, I went to the branch in Las Vegas with my Lease, my boyfriend, who is on the lease with me, plus a gas bill and a phone bill, as well as both letters US Bank send me showing my address. I am on the lease, but as I was not working yet, the utility bills are in my boyfriend's name. The clerk was going to remove the hold based on the lease when he was approached by a female manager. Next thing, I was told that they had to 'verify the lease'.
The female manager did not wear a name tag so unfortunately I do not know her name. She was very rude and contracending (yes, not letting people talk and if they talk, by having to interrupt you or having to raise their voice, not addressing their concern and act like they have not spoken and look at them like they are misbehaving children is considered being rude) which leads me to believe it is the same lady I spoke to on the phone which would be Carol who was also rude and contracending.
She stated that North Vegas is a high fraud area, which is the reason why there was a hold put on my account as I have an out of state driver's license. I asked: a) Wouldn't US BANK know I have an out of state license when I fill out the online application? - like when you enter the state and the number and your address. b) Why was I NOT told Monday when the Representative had my out of state in his hand and set my pin that additional verification is needed? c) I have no checks and no overdraft protection - how exactly can I defraud US Bank?
She addressed none of my questions and with a sneer she also mentioned that I had called the district manager, so apparently he called the branch, but never called me back. Due to the rudeness and disrespect, I have chosen to close my account which the female manager acted like she couldn't wait to do so. My impression is that if she does not like you, you won't bank there. After the first call, I researched US Bank and I was amazed how many hundreds negative comments there are and only very few positives (mostly employees?).
Bottom Line: You can open an account maybe in 5 minutes online, but don't count on getting to use it. Any funds deposited may be held hostage, so don't deposit money you can't spare. It is very clear that Management does not care about customers and will go out of their way to harass you and take vindictive action. YES, not returning calls is equal to not caring - from Tuesday to Saturday no one returned my calls... 3 different Manager/Supervisor, Branch Manager, District Manager. Asking for supervisors, Branch Managers and District Managers will get you absolutely nowhere except a smirk from the help about which you are calling about.
If I would have seen all the negative feedback BEFORE the fact I would have NEVER Opened an account here. I am 44 year old hard working and was treated like a common criminal. READ the comments... one one star rating after the next... I guess they are all wrong? Rude Condescending, non helpful discriminating. In Germany, we have a saying... Ausser Spesen nichts gewesen meaning "other than expenses nothing happened".

If there is any way possible, stay as far away as possible. My dealership place my auto lease through US Bank. When the lease neared its end, I attempted to contact US Bank to find the details on how they wanted to handle this. After over an hour of holds, transfers and redials I got to the correct person. One rep. had told me I could not turn in the lease early, that it would be a voluntary reposition. I would have to pay the balance of the lease payments, along with the residual. He actually argued with me that he was correct. How absurd, anyone who has leased a vehicle knows you pay off balance of payments. Then the day I turned the vehicle in, I had to obtain a plate release. Went through a nightmare of calls similar to my first experience, and was told 7 days.
This company is loaded with reps. that are uninformed. Now they are attempting to assess me for excess wear and tear, which I disagree with. Another round of transfers, etc. I am told I must write (Not Email or Call) the dispute department. I did, and several weeks later received a letter pretty much saying too bad, you owe the money with copies of the contract. It stated that I could call the termination department to attempt to work things out. It stated 8 AM EST they opened, well finally at 9 AM EST they did. RUDE First rep., with a poor attitude said nothing could be done. I wanted to know why the letter said it could be discussed, and he hung up on me.
I called back, requesting to speak with a supervisor, same attitude, but no hang out. He made me feel that I was a low life welching on a payment. I was told nothing could be worked out and they will be collecting. So I either pay something I do not feel I owe, or damage an excellent credit rating. STAY AWAY FROM US BANK AT ALL COSTS!

This will be my final account with US Bank. I will be canceling it as soon as I open up a new checking account with Wells Fargo or Bank of America. Over the years I have had US Bank, I have come into the office countless times trying to work with you/find the best account for me. It is now proven that your fees are inevitable and that is very stressful. You are not the bank for a young adult who tries very hard to maintain her balance. After shopping around, I now know your fees have no good reason. I do not want an account with an unreasonable bank. I have tried very hard. US bank is poor in recognizing that. US bank is unsafe and not wise for the responsible young adult.

The US bank location is Fairlawn, OH, should be avoided at all costs. I made two deposits into my account. A week later I received a notice that they were returned. I immediately called CS because it was after hours. According to them the bank manager said she called me and left a message which was a downright lie. I knew that my direct deposit was going in the morning so I could cover it. The next morning, I logged on to transfer only to find out the bank put a hold on my funds. I called CS and they said that should have not been done and they called the branch. The manager said she put it on until money was put in to cover the negative balance. Well my reply was, "How the hell am I supposed to do that when she placed a hold?"
Finally I got a supervisor to call and get the hold removed and funds transferred. I then contacted the individual who wrote the bad checks to me. Come to find out they were victim of theft and immediately gave me cash to cover everything. Problem solved... wrong. 3 days later I get email from bank branch, not even a call that I need to contact. I called and the manager said I'm on their fraud alert now because of this. She began questioning me about my deposits and what I used my card on. So not any of her business. She said that they need something from person why their checks came back. I called them again and they said no problem.
I then get another email from branch again, no call. And she tried saying that the checks written to me were from my closed business account, and that I need to call her. Again I call but no answer, so I called customer service and told them what is going on. They too could not believe. First of all, not my fault they had to close their account and I was not made aware. Second, who are they to hold my money, try and charge me fees, and flat out lie? Funny how all this happens after I advise them I am reporting them for fraud... They steal money out of people's accounts, do not follow their own "rules" they say are in place. This place needs to be shut down. And yes I will be pulling all of my business from there.

US Bank home mortgage bought my loan in April 2015. My previous mortgage holders was Freedom Mortgage. I did not know about this transaction until June, I would say 15th of 2015. At that time I received a letter from US bank mortgage stating that I should be paying them my mortgage in July. When I called Freedom Mortgage they said that they had no idea of what US Bank was talking about. I then called Freedom and US Bank on three way numerous times and nothing came of it so then I had two mortgages open in my name for the same house. Come to find out they were not supposed to get the transfer from freedom mortgage to US bank until September 11th. After that was figured out and I finally got the payment down to one mortgage company which was US bank, they informed me that they do not accept bi-weekly payments which we all know can shorten the years that you pay on your loan from 7 to 10 years.
After that I get another piece of mail stating that my hazard insurance had expired which was false because we all know that when you buy home insurance it last for a year. So then I called him on three way again now with US bank and my home insurance people and they didn't tell me, "Oh, we do have all the information now stating that your insurance has not expired." Mind you they bought my loan back in April so from April to October 6th you did not realize that I had my insurance company until 2016? For anyone buying a home I say run, don't walk. Run far away from US Bank, I guess, in all of their little Ventures, their bank, their company, anything especially home mortgages. Do not use these people! As soon as I can I will be refinancing with another mortgage company. If it was at all possible to give them 0 stars or negative stars they would have it.

US Bank's mobile deposit app doesn't have a human verify deposits. And because of this, very costly mistakes are made. After 3+ years of banking here, I ran into this issue for first time over a week ago. After ten days dealing with some of the worst customer service I've ever experienced, I've decided to close my account. I am going to have to pay $300 in fees because of a mistake their system made - completely unfair. Spoke to other banks and they say this is illegal. I'm just one person though and I can't fight one of the biggest banks in the US even though I know this is wrong.

The reason my check was declined was "Endorsement Does Not Match Payee" - ridiculous.

The company I worked for (SAIC) demanded that all travel be charged to a corporate credit card. They chose "US Bank" and arranged a card for me to use, but the card was issued in my name. Big error on my part accepting this card! In fact, I never used the card, but it wasn't long before a fraudulent charge showed up on my account. US Bank showed a charge of $88 from the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas, where to this day I have never been.
I immediately contacted US Bank to dispute the charge. Their "customer service" representative was quite officious and challenged me to prove I had not been in the Flamingo Hotel. Months went by and US Bank continued to bill me for the fraudulent charge as well as interest and penalties for not paying their bill. I contacted them each month, and each month got nowhere with their "customer service", who told me only that I needed to pay their bill. Then they reported my account as delinquent, which lowered my credit rating and cost me thousands of dollars on my home mortgage. Then they said they refused to investigate because I had not responded to a questionnaire they had mailed. But I got no questionnaire, and they refused to mail it again.
Finally, SAIC intervened and got US Bank to call the Flamingo Hotel, whereupon it was determined that I had made no charges and US Bank had erroneously charged my account with a bill pulled from thin air.
NEVER NEVER NEVER let yourself be responsible for a credit card from this bank. They appear to ignore federal rules regarding disputes and manufacture any excuse they can to justify bills they manufacture. My guess is that many of the cards share a corporate account where no one looks too hard at the details - and a charge like this from the Flamingo Hotel might easily slip by, buried within hundreds of other travel charges. US Bank probably markets the corporate accounts with promises of low rates, and then makes up for it by inventing bogus charges. If that's what the corporate officers want, then so be it - but DO NOT let yourself get stuck with an account from US Bank for which YOU are responsible!

A local branch manager manually adjusted funds out of my checking account. The original written claim was that she was removing a duplicate deposit. When I correctly disputed, she changed the story in writing to "suspected financial irregularities". When that was correctly refuted, she changed the story to "check bounced" which is an open lie, also frivolous. She demands cash payment only to her in person at her branch. She has blocked even payment otherwise to make her go away after 30 days of illegal harassment including to 3rd person's falsifying "suspected financial".
US Bank and its Fraud Division have backed this demand for unmarked bill cash payment to this person in writing to the hilt and have all copies of all the different false claims made to date over a month of hellish continual damage infliction by this individual extorting cash payments to herself in person at her branch, which is openly not remotely any claim of debt collection by a bank.

We were never told there was a potential negative to turning our Volvo back to Volvo. Really? They said they told us, but that is a lie, from both Data Scan and U.S. Bank. They then tried to overcharge us for a few scratches that we never saw literally a few little scratches on a 3 year old lease. We are talking $2,000 here. They took some money from my checking account unauthorized.
They then went round and round with me, corrected some of their errors verbally, but kept sending me errant statements with over $2400 due, even though they promised to reduce it some, took money out of my account, never showed it credited, and I made a payment. Yet they still, as of today never have sent me a statement with the reduction, and payments. I called them again today, they made excuses, lied to me again, even blamed labor day. I told them the company was totally rude and incompetent. They hung up on me. I never swear, nor call anyone names, simply told them their company was rude and incompetent. which they continue to prove to this day. This is months of this nonsense. They are the worst company.

So what I wanna know is how in the hell you purchase something from the gas station - (swiping) my card & I overdrafted but when I paid for it, it automatically took the money off. So when I get my paycheck y'all mfs take 200.00 dollars away from my checking account because you cannot touch my savings. If my transactions were pending then the money would have never been taken out my account & when I finally do speak to CS, I get a very rude lady who said they can lie & steal my money & there's nothing I can do about it...

Sold my RV, the buyer was able to get his loan processed at USAA bank in one day. USAA overnighted the payoff to US BANK and it was signed for first thing Wednesday Morning 9-9-15. I called to verify that it was there and to verify the amount. No one can tell this simple information. I was told that if they did it for me they would have to do it for their 250k other customers. Really??? I called several times and was told it would take 2 days, 4 days and 7 days to process it. I guess it depends on whether you upset them. If you do they will hold your payoff information as long as they want.
I called again today September 11th (THE THIRD DAY NOW). Now they tell me they don't count the first full day they have it. UNREAL. All I am trying to do is to verify they have the check and it is the correct amount so I can deliver the RV to the buyer, I understand they are going to slow walk the posting so they can continue to charge interest those days. I don't even care about that. I just need to know that they have it. They will not help and at this point are interfering directly in the sale.

I had an unauthorized withdrawal from an account (I had with US Bank for 6 years). Never had a problem because I always had money in the account. Haven't used this account for basically over a year. Their fees dwindled it down to next to nothing, and after this unauthorized charge from my eBay (PayPal) account, not linked to my US Bank account - removed it, somehow went to US Bank. I was only notified by mail 10 days later after a $36 +$25 late fees had incurred, that I now owe them $71.
Immediate notification of a fraudulent charge would have had me pay it right away and resolve it later PayPal, but rudeness at my home branch (Redding, CA) made me walk out. Then, only after an even worse phone call, to a very uninterested receptionist, did I need to vent like this. All they want to do is pass the buck. I was willing to pay the overdraft, even though I had overdraft protection. Poor management.

US Bank is getting sloppy. I had received a letter a few days ago stating that US Bank had garnish my checking account for some collection judgment. I have very good credit and never have had a judgment/collection before. The letter included court documents; however, the first name and last four number of the social security on the court documents did not match my account. The judgment was for my brother who has a similar name. After calling the garnishment department, they refused to release my money back to me, even after explaining to them that the court order was for someone else and that what they were doing was illegal. They tried to tell me that it was legal and that the law requires them to garnish my account. LOL. (Yes, it is the law, BUT the garnishment was for someone else!) They told me to call the lawyer representing the collection company.
A couple of calls and hours later, the lawyer agreed that it was a mistake and faxed a waiver to US Bank to release my funds back to me. Days later, I checked my account and found that the garnishment was credited back into my account; but US Bank still managed to charge me a $100 misc garnishment fee. Called to complain and ask that the fee would be removed because it wasn't my fault that US Bank screwed up and allowed my account to be garnish mistakenly. Several call transfer later, US Bank representatives still would not waive the $100. They told me that what they did was standard procedure and that the fee was non-refundable. LOL. They wanted to charge me a fee for something they screw up on.
I did talk to them nicely and calmly, telling them that I was frustrated with all the transfer and hold, and definitely not happy with how they handled this situation. After denying that US Bank did nothing wrong and refusing to waive (refund) the $100 fee, I told US Bank that I'm pretty sure they are violating some type of fair debt collection or credit laws, and that I'm confident the court would rule in my favor if this went to court. The representative told me that a manager was out for lunch, and she would call me back ASAP. She talks with her manager.
Bottom line, they didn't want to go to court and refused to admit that they were wrong, but offered to credit my account a $100 monthly maintenance fee to cancel out the $100 misc garnishment fee. Whatever works. I was prepared to go to small claim court and bill them for my hours spend on the phone, court fees, plus damages and possible violation of whatever their "procedure" was for garnishing the wrong account. Now that I think about it, I wish I did US Bank to court.

This concerns a payoff of a RV loan were US Bank not only mislead me but outright lied. Story: I refinanced my home and used the majority of the proceeds to pay off the loan at a local Reno, NV branch on 8/3/2015. Leading up to this transaction I was assured that any payment received which was in excess off the payoff amount would be returned to me from US Bank. This is important since the bank was automatically debiting my checking account (another credit union) $1,106.78, and source escrow for the refinance was to take place around the same date. It took almost an hour for the local branch to give me a written receipt for $99,282.00 with an agreement they would overnight the check to US Bank headquarters.
Since the payoff was $98,916.23 I was advised by the branch manager (Marie) the payoff would be backdated to the date of my receipt, they owing me $365.77 refund. I called the US Bank headquarters (800-872-2657) to verify they had the check and it was in process, but they were using a payoff date of 8/5/2015. They advised they would check with local branch. I realized it was only a two day difference, approx. $34 less. Today received my check for only $35.16. This despite being told from the get go many times in the prior six weeks it would be no problem as long as the payoff check was greater than the loan payoff. I guess they decided to get even with me for some reason, by floating the check for over two weeks. It was a certified escrow check. I would like my full refund as promised, and an apology for telling me "too bad you didn't have an account with us as it could have been processed easier." Outrageous.

We had to stay in a hotel while our loan went through underwriting (UW). The appraisal had to be completed by a third party to keep US Bank out of bias. The appraiser noted a recommended survey would accurately tell if our drive was shared or not. We submitted a survey that was on record at the county clerk's office. Ten days passed (while paying $100/day for a hotel) only to be told the appraiser rejected the survey. We found the Iron Pin that was in the drive and sent the photo in, but again rejected. We were only told the driveway did not exceed to the road. They said another survey may resolve the problem?? I asked what would an additional survey include that was not included on the first survey? They said, "We are not telling you to get a survey, nor do you have to continue trying to get this loan." NOW I AM LIVID!!!
The bank I have used since it used to be Greater Financial Federal 20+ yrs ago is running me over with a bus!!! I demanded specific information as to exactly what the appraiser was asking for? Which boundary line was in question? Etc... I explained that in order for me to make an informed decision (especially one involving $1000+ survey dollars), that I need someone from that bank to talk to the appropriate party and get my questions answered since I don't have access to them. I asked to speak directly to the appraiser. They said I could not speak to the appraiser and I was referred to the Regional VP, since I was finding the loan officer less than competent. Before I spoke to the VP, I called the "appropriate" party directly without intent to create bias, but learn what failed on the first survey. THE APPRAISER NEVER EVEN SAW A SURVEY!!! Really!!!
I contacted the VP to have her answer the specific questions only to find that she also, was feeding me the standard line about the appraiser rejecting the survey. Now, I realize these people are telling me what they think I need to know, and not really seeking information from UW or anyone else. At this point, it was prudent to assume UW could not read the plat map! A survey without the explanations of easements, right-of-ways, and sight distance confused the UW's leading them to reject my information I provided. I got the second survey and had the surveyor note and draw the additional explanations in a mortgage plat, so even the most ignorant of UW could understand it. Amazingly, the second survey was accepted and we closed the loan. US Bank Home Mortgage cost me over $3K in hotel and survey expenses because of incompetence and lying.
I completed the mortgage survey after closing, giving US Bank the lowest possible rating. I even got a phone message from the VP asking about the low score, but I have nothing left to say to these people. Now, they are telling me I need to pay my Homeowners Insurance for the year because the money they are collecting with the mortgage is for next year. I am looking at the HUD Statement and see that was paid during closing!!! I feel like this is retaliation for my honest review of their process. With the many layers of pawns before you get to a decision maker, it may take an attorney to fix this problem I am having with this less than competent organization.

Ok, so to start I'm not angry, I just had no way of choosing less stars. I have been an account holder since the end of July and even though someone told me not to open the account, I did it anyway. Big mistake! This has been THE WORST bank I have ever had an account with. While all the customer service reps are nice (in person and on the phone) actually getting anything done with my account is a joke. They send you a card and then tell you you will receive a pin a few days later. I understand this as it is a security measure, HOWEVER, the pin never came.
The only option I had was to physically go back into the bank and have them set a pin up for me. The online portal wanted me to set up a few security questions but when I went back in to attempt to sign in, it asked me a question that wasn't mine (so of course I didn't know the answer) and I ended up getting locked out of my account. THIS is HORRIBLE especially as I JUST opened the account. I am already ready to close this account and just go elsewhere. Basic Banking shouldn't be this hard!

I thought, perhaps the State of California where I am located, made an error and double charged my card or there that something happened with the card I used to make my child support payment. So, of course, I contacted the bank.
I learned that it was actually a Levy Processing Fee that the bank charged me because they received a levy from the State of California. I have no problem with the fact that the state sent the levy as I know they do that every so often with banks in order to withhold any funds that exceed $3500 in a bank account. I accept this and am aware of it. However, when I asked for a copy of the levy, I was refused. Within a week there was yet another levy processing fee on my statement and was told that another levy have come through to the bank. I asked for proof of the levy and again was denied. So now, $200 has been taken from my checking account for "processing fees" without proper justification in my opinion.
Finally, I was able to get an employee of one of the local branches to see what he could do and was able to get me a copy of page 1 of the 4 page levy order for one of the 2 levies. This page included instructions to the bank. The number 2 instruction to the bank on this court document states that the bank shall immediately provide page 3 of the levy to the debtor (me, in this case). I asked the bank employee to look into this and the reply given to me, by email, stated that the bank does not have to provide me a copy of anything if funds were not withheld. (There were no funds withheld since my bank account did not exceed $3500); Nowhere on the instruction page that I received did it state that there were any exceptions to the instruction to provide that page 3 to me.
I followed up again, this time through messaging through the US Bank Facebook page and got a reply (please note that I also have an email that states that the US Bank Levy department does not have outgoing telephone capabilities nor do they have any kind of email system to communicate with US Bank customers and that is why I have had to go through Facebook, employees and etc.) The person who replied told me she would look into the situation and call me back. To my utter surprise, she did call me back. I was informed that the documents that US Bank were instructed to provide to me IMMEDIATELY could not be provided because US Bank SHREDDED them!
So, I do not have any proof that 2 levies were indeed sent to US Bank, I am out $200 because they say they got 2 levy orders, I may have been deprived a list of my rights and much more concerning this levy, my bank statement says "Child Support Fee" instead of Bank Processing Fee or some other more appropriate term so that it can be seen by anyone that requires a copy of my bank statement and etc.
I have been given the complete runaround by US Bank and I do believe that they may have committed fraud in taken funds from my account as processing fee when the process was never included because of their failure to follow the instructions of the levy and that US Bank may actually be in contempt of court for failure to follow court instructions by failing to provide to me the documents they were instructed to provide.

I added a friend to my account, with friend present and the account was processed in the bank. The bank rep did not go over the account on important specifics of the protocols for this type of change to my account before processing her to my account. I was never explained that she would have same privileges as myself to the account (which this part was common sense to me on that part only). But here's the problem… The US Bank rep never informed me/us that if I wanted to ever take her off or if she wanted to take herself off She would have to die (Be dead!) in order to remove her off my account, or I would have to open a new account. To do this USB is very tricky, because if I do this I may also lose the senior privileges I was grandfathered into in my current account and they won't tell you that!
Why I say this is because it happen to my friend when she also open a savings account - they took away her senior privileges without informing her. I was there, they didn't inform her of the change to her original account. The other big prob to this is that the rep processed this change adding my friend to my account without informing us of the rules first before processing. He processed the change and still never told me/us about the rule of never, ever, taking the person off the account or that she wouldn't be able to either, never ever!! I never heard of such a thing with a bank account.
Does anyone have advice to resolve this issue??? I was robbed of the process to re-consider putting her on my account if I would have known (that my friend would have to die or I would have to open another new account). It wasn't until way after the fact that I found this out by us requesting to have her name removed from my account. USB needs to have customer service friendly business etiquette to its customers!!!

First off I would like to say I never asked to do business with US Bank. They merged with another bank I was quite happy with... They asked to take over my account. On July 13th 2015 supposedly a person acting as me walked into a branch out of state and withdrew a significant amount of money from my account. We received a low balance email and got in touch with them immediately. They seemed to think this was an identity theft situation and said all I have to do is fill out a form, affidavit and file a police report and they would return my money THEY gave away. Seemed reasonable to me.
So I took the day off, went to two police stations, and spent a few hour traveling and had a police report filed, finished filling out the form drove 40 minutes to my nearest US Bank branch, talked to a personal banker, had him close our violated account, open a new account, faxed ALL the information requested to the fraud department, was told my money would be replaced in five to ten business days. So I patiently waited ten business days and when my money was not replaced I called to see what was going on. I talked to a nice gentleman named Nicklaus and was said "nothing was pending and maybe I should call back at the end of the week."
I explained that we were told this should have been taken care of already and asked to speak with his supervisor Crystal **. After researching the situation, Crystal said they need me to supply them with a police report. I explained we have done everything that US Bank has asked, and now it is time to reimburse my money which THEY gave away. The other thing I was asked is why they did absolutely nothing until I called to check the status of the situation. Crystal assured me she would find out why and call me the next day. She never returned my call and did not accept my phone calls today. I think I might have found a bank that is as bad or worse than Chase. I would highly recommend to avoid doing business with US Bank! I am still fighting for my money.

Deposited a $30,000 check from my insurance company for hail/storm damage to my home. Repeated mistakes in the loss draft department delayed the first check by seven months so that work could not begin until spring. Once the work began, I made multiple calls for clarification on what would be considered 2/3 completed. When I asked the contractor to give me invoices for the work completed and forwarded them, I was told they had new forms and would mail them. Meanwhile, the contractor slows the job because he is not being paid. Then the forms arrive and now state the work has to be 90% complete. I threaten to replace the contractor if he doesn't complete the work.
I sent all the new forms with lien waivers to the bank and the bank inspection is signed off as 91% complete. That is six weeks ago and they are still not sending the check. The contractor is threatening to place a lien on my home. I called the Chief Credit Risk Officer, Parker and filed a complaint with the Federal Reserve Bank. When I received a call back from the executive assistant, Sally ** on a Friday, I was told I would have it resolved by Monday. Never called. I called on Tuesday and after three conversations, I was told "it was still being researched."

I had an account at Wells Fargo. But because my mortgage is from US Bank I cancelled my credit cards and close my account at Wells Fargo and open at US Bank. In the first month I was outside the USA. I could not log on to pay the credit card due to many reasons; one of them I used wrong passwords. But I was not worry because I will come to the USA after one day of the due date. I paid the money in the same day I arrived. In Wells Fargo if I pay it just one day after they were not charging me any penalty. At US Bank they charged me one hundred dollars (100$). I sent them email requesting my money back and I told them if they do not give me my money back I will close my accounts and cancel the credit card.
Instead of of giving my money back they told me they will take my rewards if I cancel. They did not wait me to cancel the credit card and they took another one hundred dollars (100$ my rewards) in the same day before I cancel my accounts. I think they are the worst bank in the USA. I was not facing these problems at Wells Fargo. Even if I faced a problem the customer services were very nice and helpful. But in the US Bank they are not nice and not helpful and punish you if you complain by taking your money.

I have been trying to open an account at USB (Pacific Ave., Stockton, CA). Went there but after a 30 min wait, I went home - I am disabled. Thought I'd open account by phone. That experience was ok, except when I had to go online to "electronically sign" had to call tech support. Spoke to "Tiffany." She became very short with me. She had me going into my control panel changing my browser to Explorer, and when that didn't work, she said I'd have to go into the branch - that she couldn't help me.
I explained the situation, she again said she couldn't help me. I had to ASK if she had a supervisor, but that he was out. I asked that he call me back. Never heard from him. Tried to call the bank and was put on hold for 25 minutes. I hung up and called again, and "Tammy" said to hold. I told her I had tried that, but she was not helpful. I tried two more times, no luck. I tried to find a corporate number/address, but no luck (do they actually exist in human form?). I'm half way in, and no help. I have banked online at my other bank for over twenty years, and always found someone to help me. What is their problem?

Like other complaints have pointed out, this Sleazy operation debited our checking account at another bank twice for the same payment of $3,500+, or $7,000+ -- then REFUSED to refund the duplicate payment. Insisted that the "other" bank, which had nothing to do with US Bank's error, needed to make the correction. The other bank agreed that US Bank was crazy, to expect them to correct an error that originated with US Bank & which US Bank processed. Repeated requests for refund were simply ignored &/or refused. This is a consumer scam that should prompt a class action lawsuit. How millions of consumer dollars is US Bank holding & refusing to return, by their "duplicate" processing errors? Cannot be an accident or they would correct it, & it cannot be an unintentional error or it would not be happening to so many consumer. This is consumer fraud.

When I opened up a student checking account a year ago, the banker NEVER told us about the fees that could occur. I found out that you can only deposit $200.00 per day over mobile banking in app. even if you had a $200+ paycheck. On top of depositing $200 or less per day, for every check you deposited you paid 50 CENTS. They say the only way to get free deposits is by going in or to an ATM. In my hometown, there are no ATMs on my side of town and they have NO banks here. I opened the checking account on my college campus because they were on campus and it was easier access for when I was up there. Then, after 2 months, without them telling me, I found out that I had a $2.00 fee and it didn't tell me why. I ended up calling and they said it was for the paper statements, so I enrolled in online statements. The thing that made me angry was the fact that they didn't tell me about these fees that could occur.
When I went up to school in August and tried to buy something at a local grocery store, they put a hold on my account when they already knew I was going to be up there. I then had to have them hold my products and call them outside the store and they said they were sorry. I accepted the apology but they knew where I was going to be. A few months later I checked up on my account. I look at it every other day or so, and found out that somebody was using my card but luckily they were still pending transactions. I called them and they took them off and issued a new debit card. This, again, happened a few months later and they didn't call me or notify me about fraudulent transactions and this one went through for $19.99. I called them once again and they took the charges off and reissued yet another card.
Eventually, a few months later I would have to call them again because they took out $19.99 out of my account without any reason and apparently the website credited me and wanted their money back because U.S. Bank had also credited me my money back. They could have at least notified me about doing so. Their fraud department sucks at monitoring their client's accounts and U.S. Bank is a big thief through all of the fees that occur just by using it regularly. I am completely done with U.S. Bank and will never recommend anybody getting an account with them.

In 2009 I bought a house through a local bank. Soon after, the mortgage was sold to US Bank. I had never been late even after a divorce and a severe accident in 2012. This year I had the scare of my life when my doctor and the Mayo Clinic found what looked like metastatic lung cancer in my body. While I was driving back and forth 7 hours to and from Mayo Clinic in May and June for biopsies and tests my finances were strained beyond what I could deal with. I called US Bank before my payment was due to see how we could defer a payment during these tough times. I requested a deferment and was told "NO we don't do deferments". They said once I'm late on payment to call back and they will assist me.
I called back when I was past due, hoping to get better help, only to find that I would be charged $50 a month for 6 months, PLUS I would have to pay $400 a month on top of my normal payment to pay back the late payment. I've gotten multiple letters about foreclosure and short sale. I only needed to defer one payment - they won't help you even if you're dying. They still will add fee upon fee and be rude when you call. I tried to go online to make small payments to catch up but they freeze your online account so you have to call them to pay at $11 per payment. This is BS. SHAME ON YOU US Bank - you don't deserve to have the letters "US" in front of your name. Hopefully you'll get shut down.

I tried to pay the higher amount but got an error message saying that I couldn't make a payment higher than the given balance. So I made a payment for the lower amount. Today we discovered that US Bank debited BOTH amounts from our account and when I called to alert them to their error they refused to refund either amount. They said I would have to file a dispute at my bank in order to authorize the credit. So they can take money from my account without my authorization but they can't put it back?

I've been banking with US for about 5 years and I have overdrawn my account a few times know full well I would be charged overdraft fees. A couple of years ago my account received several hundred dollars in deposits that were not mine. Someone from security contacted me after I contacted them explaining they didn't know what happened but they were fixing the problem. They called me back over the next three weeks to make sure the situation did not reoccur. This was a couple of years ago...
As of late my overdraft fees went crazy after I physically went into my branch to get clear up deposits, etc... The overdraft issue continued to mount even when I checked the balance before I used the debit. Now they're saying it was all me? I admitted to my overdraft extension but not the ones that occurred after I left the bank. Their system has flaws and has currently done the same it did two years ago, except this time they've taken money out of my account. US Bank is outta of my life after next month.

Lexington, Kentucky: I thought a closing date set a month in advance would not be a hard deadline to meet, especially given that the typical closing time is 30 days after acceptance of the offer. Apparently I was wrong. The most frustrating thing is that they pulled everything together in 3 days and missed my closing by a single day, so why couldn't they have compiled everything earlier? I was set to close on a Friday and move in the following weekend, but the closing got pushed until Monday and screwed up my entire moving schedule and apartment lease for moving out.
Overall not a single person at US Bank showed any motivation for getting things done. I felt like I did more work getting my insurance, verification of employment, and seller coordination together than they did. I cannot imagine how behind they would be if I had not emailed them MULTIPLE times per day asking what needed to be done next, then doing it myself. They have a guy who is supposed to do this full time and yet they routinely miss emails, think they sent things when they didn't and are horrible at all types of coordination. Deadlines mean nothing to them. Save yourself the headache. EVEN IF YOU BANK WITH US, GET YOUR MORTGAGE THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE!

Dissatisfied and scared to do business with this company. My loan officer missed our contracted deadline three times costing us our current home we rent and us having to pay sellers to not relist house. They pulled my credit seven times one time because she said the computer put my last name as my middle name. Someone labeled my appraisal wrong causing a great delay in the process. She sent me several pages of someone else's loan asking me to sign it. When I called her to clarify she started saying "I'm only human, I'm only human." If I have hers, I ask who has mine? I just wanted the document she was trying to send at that point which ended up being my explanation of why the bank would pull my credit seven times. My answer: I don't know... their policy? Then she told me she was being sabotaged and that her coworkers were hiding my information from her.
At that point I just started crying daily. We told her we didn't want a loan from them anymore and proceeded to another lender. She still carried on through the process even when we had gone somewhere else. She contacted us later saying that the loan had been denied due to inconsistencies. I said that that was fine, we're already in the loan process with another bank, and that we pulled our accounts from U.S. Bank and are in the process of refinancing our car with a different bank. I no longer have faith in their ability to conduct new business or maintain existing accounts... Scary business conduct.

I set up my checking account with US Bank over a year ago. When setting up the account they ask you numerous questions about how you want your account to work. When asked if I wanted overdraft protection I adamantly said no... Specifically said |I wanted the card to decline if I didn't have the funds available. Eventually the account representative convinced me to link my checking to my savings account so if I accidentally went over my balance in checking the savings would cover it if the funds were available. Over the past several weeks I have temporarily relocated, called to let them know so I could use the account in another state. I checked my account before leaving Overland Park and still haven't figured out what I messed up but ended up using the card 12 times in overdraft status. I ended up -$677 with $457 of it being fees.
Remember this is the account in which I specifically stated upon set up I did NOT want OD protection!!! When I called the bank they informed me the rep who set up my account was no longer there and that my account was not opted out of OD protection. When asked how long they would have allowed the charges to go on I was first told $500 but when asked why I was allowed to go beyond that they changed their tune and said basically it could have gone on forever... There is apparently no limit to how overdrawn you can get. Ridiculous!!! Will be closing this account and not be using US Bank again. The first person I spoke to was very nice but the "branch manager" was obnoxious and unprofessional. I would have been willing to split to cost of the fees since clearly part of the error was my mistake...but that would have meant being professional and honoring what the account rep told me upon opening the account.

After 6 months of banking with this bank I can only say one thing. Avoid using them at all costs. Why I say this has been the struggle with them from day one. An atm fee put us in the negative, they refused to reverse the fee or the negative fee. Secondly we were told we had 24 hours after overdrafting to have the funds available to cover it before a fee works be accessed. After about a month of this being fine, about 11:55 PM one night we made a purchase that put us into the negative. By lunchtime we had put enough money to cover the amount plus some. My fiancée then buys lunch at work, having the deposit slip showing the amount she had in the account. She gets home around midnight from work and checks the bank. There are two overdraft fees that had hit, the first had hit 45 minutes to an hour after we made the deposit and had put the account back negative.
The second came from her lunch purchase. After contacting the 800 number she was told that we were informed wrong. Another issue is the app won't match another app on a different phone, this makes it pointless to monitor before spending. Several times we've checked the account and it shows more in it than we had am prior, to only have less than both in the morning. We were overdrafted by .05 cents for a week. They actually hit us for the week fee, over a nickel. Finally, she works at Wal-Mart and was told the maintenance fee was waived due to this. Every month it hits, she has had to call, they refund it and the overdraft fee if needed. Until this morning... she calls, they then tell her that it was a limited time thing, and that they'd no longer reverse the fee. In the past 6 months they've made 251 in fees from us. Most of these fees accrued we've had screenshot or printout proof that they should not have occurred, they just don't care.

We began submitting the information and would wait to hear what else was needed and he would not answer phone calls or emails for days at a time.
Then he told us he was going to be gone for a week (on a Thursday evening) so we had only one day to get him everything he asked for. We did not hear a word for 9 days. You would think at a company as big as US Bank they have other people that can take over and help out. We had thought we were done. We finally heard back and sent what we thought was the remaining items. He then did not answer us for days at a time. It came time to go up north for the 4th of July (where we don't have service) and we got an email from him saying he needed all new information now or we would not be able to close on time. This was right before a holiday weekend.
Once we responded he was not in contact with us for a few more days. He also will only look at one email. I forwarded emails with multi-page documents and unless all of the documents he needed were in one email he would say he didn't get them. He has ignored calls and emails from our realtor, our insurance agent, etc. Because of his unresponsiveness we were unable to close when we had scheduled.

First of all, let's begin by discussing the past several months with this despicable banking institution. I was victim to fraud twice in the past three months. On both occasions, I was reminded that US Bank does not offer identity protection for its consumers. Then I was told I could not close my accounts until everything was resolved. After deciding to re-bank with them, I finally experienced the last straw.
I have been extremely vigilant when it comes to my account due to the past several months. I made two purchases that overdrew my account (which I was more than willing to pay for). I knew this information due to accessing my account on my phone and home computer daily. The next day, my account was -$150 with four overdraft fees. My question is, why track your account if the information is worthless?! According to the phone teller, my account had different funds which only became evident when clicking on a TINY blue arrow when looking at the account on a HOME computer.
Why offer access on phones when the information is different?! In my opinion, that is crap and corrupt. Defeats the purpose of monitoring your account because according to their "ill-trained and intolerant" representatives, the account balance differ daily. Their system for pending transactions are not in favor of their members and uses "in my opinion, unlawful" practices.
If you are going to use a federally recognized bank, DO NOT bank with US Bank. Not only do their services suck, so do their employees in all facets. Supervisor ** (ID **) is the most unprofessional member of this deceitful institution and solidifies the banks criminal behavior. I plan on discussing this issue with multiple organizations in hopes of ending this type of financial abuse.

You expect to have some sort of relationship with the people you communicate with regularly regarding your money. Especially when nowadays employers require direct deposit. After shopping around, looking for a bank or credit union that offered everything you would need and require to have safe monetary transactions, while also providing credit building opportunities, I chose US Bank and was a little reluctant at first because a coworker had a couple problems with them right as I was opening my account. She told me many times that they will wrongly charge your account for "various" reasons. She was purposely being vague as we work together and it is impolite to discuss in detail others money situations. However, I went with US anyway.
So during the time that I have been with US Bank, I have been practicing or trying to practice safe effective money management. I am new to budgeting and also responsible for two modest incomes so the pressure is on. When checks go direct I pay all bills and remove the "extra".. Well this particular situation I wrote a check for my elementary children's school photos, they waited over a month to deposit this check. I have cash and saw that the account was overdrawn (morning about 6-7am). Well, with the understanding that I could run to the bank before "end of day," they say (you will hear this a lot) to correct the account, I headed out around 12 to go to the bank to find that there's not one but two overdraft fees.
So lets recap.. 1 check over a month old when deposited (oops my bad, two full time jobs between us and 4 children. I forgot. My fault) and two overdraft fees 36.00 each. A little excessive you think? There's no human emotion, no human mistakes, and no second chances. What you will hear "there was no error on our behalf, so this is valid." We are not going to remove the overdrafts even if you are making the account positive. Although I was told at the time I opened my account, that if within the business day your account is corrected you will avoid the overdraft charge. This is a lie. The overdraft comes a day later because their close of business is a day behind the current (today's information is already 24 hours old, when you receive it). Their response is " processing" so you won't know that your account was overdrafted for at least 24 hours.
Then everyone is trained so well to be the nicest of "mean" that you get nowhere, pleading your case. Frustration will take over at realization that everything you were told has been a lie. There are no humans here.. Only money because US Bank is getting rich on overdraft fees. This is a heartless company, not people friendly. At least have the kindness to understand that people make mistakes, try not to be so quick to throw policies around that you don't even understand yourself. US Bank is not worth the headache if you care about people interaction. It's 72.00 that was wrongfully taken. I'll stuck it up, I'm not looking for a handout. Just to let someone know that you shouldn't believe them because they are professional legal crooks. It's simply not right.

US bank has had our information to close on our home for one year. In February we told them we sold our home and we were ready to purchase the new home. It is now the middle of June and we are still not closed. We have excellent credit with a full VA approval. Everything has been complete (I.e. VA appraisal, well test, survey of property, etc). We were suppose to close yesterday and the title company could not even get a hold of the bank to get the closing documents. We have been "supposed" to close many times now and they are stalling. They lie to us, the seller and the title company over and over. If we do not close by Friday we are done with them. We have given them too many chances and they continue to lie. I would not recommend them for home loans.

The Manager ** of this bank in Burns, Oregon is useless, arrogant, racist and incompetent. I came to this branch to open a business account. The personal banker was having lack of knowledge and was every question going to manager... The manager whole time she won't even smiling nor she even introduced herself to us. It's more like she doesn't like me and my husband being there. She was finding a reason for not opening an account and giving me hard time... She made up an issue with my name which was appearing on my company profile which was approved by state government and federal government but she wasn't accepting it saying, "We don't know if it's 'you'" (that's sounds she thinks she is above all the government who approved my EIN and company formation).
I was explaining her but it looked that she already made her mind for giving me hard time and me not to open account. The assistant manager ** was telling her that it's ok if we can have another ID appearing full name but she was not ready to listen. And when I tried to talk she said, "I am done taking to you". This is total racism and discrimination of her and action must be taken with such RUDE so called manager. Later I went to another bank and I didn't had any issues and they opened my account without any problem.

I had US Bank as my bank for over 20 years in WA state. When I moved to Texas I kept it for my SS Benefits. In 2014 I fractured my pelvis and was in rehab for three months so I was not spending money. I thought I would have a nest egg when I got out of rehab. Instead my money was disappearing at a fast rate as there were charges for cash advances and CSR lines of credit I had not asked for. I phoned US Bank and was told I asked for them. I told them I had not. I totaled up the fees and lines of credit. They amounted to almost $2,500 for five months. The cash advance option was ending in June of 2014. I contacted the Fraud Liaison Department and was told it handled only credit card fraud.
I looked at my bank statements from previous years and realized those same fraudulent cash advances and CSR lines of credit were on those statements starting in 2010. A box on the last page of bank statements showed the fee amounts. Using that I calculated how much money had been withdrawn without me realizing it... the total was $15,000. I realized my account had been embezzled. US Bank would not admit to that... of course. The rule is follow the money.. It went to US Bank. I sent my information to the CEO Richard Davis. Three days later the Chief Head of Security and the Manager of the Fraud Liaison Department were no longer with US Bank. It appeared the CEO was not aware of the embezzlement.
I expected US Bank would reimburse me for the money that was stolen from my account plus 3 times damages, etc. To date I have not been reimbursed by US Bank. As employees who had been aiding and abetting aiding the embezzlement were still at their jobs it appeared that CEO Davis and the employees were "pretending" that the embezzlement had never existed so that unsuspecting consumers would not have to be paid for the money stolen from their accounts.
It has now been a year that I have not been reimbursed for money and damages. The FBI is now involved.... and I emailed Oprah. If you had a US Bank account with the cash advance option, paper statements, CSR lines of credit (even though your account does not have lines of credit) between 2010 and May 2014 you may be a victim of the embezzlement. I now use a home town bank instead.

US Bank allowed an unauthorized fraudulent $2000 debit from my account on 6/2/15. This is an infrequently used account which only had $700, thus overdrafting my account by $1300. As soon as I received notice (6/6) of the theft and accruing overdraft fees, I called in to have the debit reversed. They told me to contact the merchant (thief). I told them US Bank allowed the theft and it was their responsibility to make good on their mistake. I went in to the only branch still open and spoke with the manager. He assured me that if I came back on Monday (6/8) it would be taken care of. I came in on Monday, we enacted a stop for future debits from the originating thief; but realizing the thief had access to my account information, we needed to change my account number and did.
The second manager I spoke with on Monday further assured me that I would not be responsible for the money that US Bank stole without my consent. We filled out fraud paperwork. Long story short, US Bank denied my request. They have provided me with the paperwork of their investigation which includes no evidence that I ever authorized the 2000 dollars debit in the first place. Yes this is a true story. US Bank is allowed to take 2000 dollars out of your account which doesn't even have 2000, charge you for overdrafts while you're telling them you never authorized the debit, not reverse the transaction, and ignore your claim.

I received a life insurance check. Over $25,000. I deposited in an ATM. Big mistake. Knowing it would be held, I waited until the funds were available. The following Tuesday morning, per their online banking, all funds were cleared. Wednesday afternoon went to a local and tried to cash a check. Said I was $3,800.00 overdrawn. I had mailed several checks the previous morning. The post office isn't that fast. I had also dropped two checks off Tuesday afternoon. To make a bad story short. Called their Customer Support. They were nice but confused about what the local branch was doing. Me too. I was on and off hold for 45 minutes while they tried to contact the manager at the Sandy Utah location. No luck there. Apparently when a local manager decides to put a hold on a deposit no one can override it.
No one can get this person on the phone for two days. Checks are bouncing. I call the Life Insurance Company. The check has cleared. Customer Service transfers me to another branch manager across town. Fort Union branch. This snotty woman tells me she got right through to the other manager. Wow no one else can! One customer rep said they had had a power outage. I checked the food store where that branch is located. Never happened. I had called them several times and never got off hold. Then snotty lady tells me they are protecting me from fraud. I tell her I called the issuing bank and the check has cleared. You just never know about Insurance Company Checks. Fraud is everywhere and they are protecting me from that. How come the funds were released one day and held the next I ask? Well she says, It can take a couple of days before we look at large deposits. Fraud everywhere ‘ya know.
Then tells me she was going to hold my deposit another 7 days. That's 10 days total. If I had only gone to a teller to make that deposit I wouldn't be having these problems. Hinting that depositing a large check in the ATM is what fraud people do. As yet nothing resolved. I guess us “Fraud like” people just have to take it. Chase bank has a $500.00 bonus for new customers. I'll be going there when my deposit clears. They had better have my $22,000 in cash when I take all my cash out and close my account, stop my auto-deposits. I have spent over 25 years in Customer Service. I have never seen worse than US BANK. I understand why deposits are held, Things slip by computers.
I don't understand being lied to, condescending excuses hinting I could be a fraud type person. 5 days to get a stupid response that they’re just protecting me. My advice to current customers, go somewhere else. Thinking about US BANK? At your own risk. To ** and **, Think fast food, in the back kitchen. Wouldn't want you on drive thru. I have another 6 days until my check clears. With my spare I plan to write on every blog, review site I can find. I plan to be very active informing the public about US BANK. I'm sure they could care less about us “fraud like” people.
Updated on 06/13/2015: While holding my deposit, now 8 days, They have bounced the same checks 3 times. With all the fees that come with that. No use calling local branch, Alta View or Ft Union in Sandy Utah unless you like being on hold. Being lied to by snotty employees and no help at all. It is truly disturbing how these people operate. Smith’s store, You should consider finding another bank to represent you. They make you look bad. I may not shop at Smith’s anymore because of them. You should demand the same high level customer service you provide to your customers.
USBANK makes you look bad. Read the reviews they get. I feel you will agree it's time to make a change. Anyone considering opening an account, or if you’re unlucky and have one now. Go somewhere else before you have the nightmare of trying to resolve a problem. Resolving problems measures the worth of the business you deal with.. USBANK is worthless in that department.

We NEVER signed up to do business with US Bank. However, in 2009 our mortgage with Cooperative Bank, a nice, small local bank, was sold to US Bank. Customer service is horrible but the worst part is their unending fees. They find every reason possible to fee you. There were also times where we mailed our mortgage payment with plenty of time but somehow it cleared a day late, just late enough to get us an outrageous late fee. I made a late payment back in 2010 and they waived the late fee. Recently, in 2015 I made a late payment (1 day late according to US Bank, as if I believe that) and I called to have it waived. They said they only allow one late payment removal during the life of the loan! Horrible customer service - in 30 years they will only remove fees one time!
Also, unless we make our mortgage payment before the first of the month, there is a $5.00 fee for online bill payment even though the deadline to pay is the 16th. How absurd that in 2015 a company would charge for online payment! I cannot wait to sell our home so we can get out of this mortgage with them. If we were staying in our home we would refi with another bank just to get away from US Bank. With all these one star reviews I cannot understand why anyone would purposely do business with this bank. Save yourself the hassle and please find someone else, ANYONE else to do any sort of banking or mortgage with!

We had a bad winter in Central New York which caused $20K worth of damage to our home. Our insurance company responded with great concern and support (Travelers) and we have nothing but good comments for them. However, since our claim was greater than $10K, the insurance check had to go to US Bank since they are the mortgage holder until the repairs were made. The repairs have been made by our contractor. We have paid the contractor out of pocket. The insurance company sent the check to US Bank and after 5 different calls to release OUR MONEY, they have not sent the check. They have lied to us with respect to the check is in the mail. "We will tell you tomorrow the tracking number for the check" and it goes on and on. This day, 28th of May 2015, we have not as yet received our money and it has been April 27th since all documentation and house inspection has been completed.
Now, a month may not seem like that long of a time but call after call has assured us that our money is in the mail. If US Bank told us that it takes a month to get us our money due to process and procedure, then so be it. But at every level of their organization, they have told us that tomorrow the check will be mailed and it never comes is a testimony to the company's unethical behavior. They simply lie. They tell untruths. We cannot seem to get any resolution that is meaningful. What are we to do? They have even told us that the check was mailed on May 21st and I don't know any location in the continental United States of America where a letter, especially one that is a $14.5K check takes more than 4 days to show up. US BANK is in Ohio and we are in upstate NY and so I could drive it in one day.

Well I have 18 auto withdrawals from different companies and it's a pain to switch but finally I didn't care what it took because in the end, we would save money! When I deposit CASH on Friday, they enter the deposit date into the system for the following Monday, which has bounced our checks, giving them an extra $36 for each check. Also this bank would put a $250 check through first instead of my $100 one, when I had an available balance of $155 (I got paid that night at midnight), so in all reality I would've bounced 1 check (my fault) but instead, I bounced 2 because they put through the one for $250.
Other issues we've had were, when trying to deposit our refund (married, both signatures were on the check) and a balance in the account prior to deposit was $1200 and I wanted to deposit our tax refund and then withdraw $1500, they would not let me because my husband was not with me, keep in mind, we are both account owners and both signatures were on the refund but they wouldn't let withdrawal money from my account? Also one time, we ordered checks and it took 6 weeks to get to us because they mailed to the wrong address, which forced us to use counter checks that cost $2 each check cashed.

The contractor brought all the materials up to the front of a local Home Depot-like store (Menard's) and I made a payment to the sales associate via phone. The contractor then convinced the sales person to put the card on file for his contractor account. He then began to use the card on other jobs. We were running about $1M a month on the card for materials in 17 states and did not catch $40k in charges over a 4 month period. When we realized the error we filed a police report in Orange County and reported to US BANK. US BANK assigned a customer service rep who immediately began working on ways to deny our claim, probably because of the size. It took a month for the police report to make it to the out of state police department.
The rep from US BANK was the first to make contact with the detective and informed them that because we had hired the contractor US BANK believed it was a civil issue. The rep then contacted me and said because the police believe it was a civil issue, they were denying my fraud claim and would not reimburse the charges. I spent 2 years talking with different reps at US BANK with no luck. They have by far the worst customer service of any bank I have ever seen. I paid off $33k of the charges prior to realizing the error and not only did they deny my fraud claim, they charged off the remaining $7k that was on a business card and then went after me personally.

First, they were not able to pay my property taxes out of my escrow properly so months later I get a huge bill saying that they under collected. Second, I opted to pay for my own taxes since they could not do it correctly and I get slammed with a $400 fee. Fought that to the end and lost because US Bank cannot afford to lose $400 and keep a happy customer.
Third, they were supposed to send me the escrow balance. Not only did I not get it but to have them resend it I had to pay another fee of $15 which they would not waive; and, they could not provide proof that it was sent. My only option given was to pay the $15 or wait 90 days so that can reissue another check. I wonder why after the 90 days there is no $15 fee; maybe it's because they are satisfied with the customer's aggravation at that point.

I made the payment and called the corporate office with US Bank and told them that my statement was for 50.00 less than normal and it looked like there was a 50.00 payment made 2 weeks before the statement was mailed to me. I told them I did not make this 50.00 payment. They stated they would do an investigation and send me a letter.
About 2 weeks later, I received a letter from US Bank stating that the 50.00 was misapplied to my account and should have been towards someone else 's account. I also received my next monthly statement for my auto loan and noticed the 50.00 dollars was added plus a late fee. I also stated receiving phone calls from US Bank's collection department wanting the 50.00 that they had mistakenly removed from my last statement because of their fault. I also received a letter in the mail that stated "Call Immediately".
I place the call to this phone number provided in the letter to US Bank. The gentlemen that responded to my call started, threatening me that if I did not pay the 50.00 now that they would report me to the credit reporting agency and report this as delinquent on my behalf and I would have to pay a late fee on their mistake even though they misapplied someone else's payment to my account and that made them send me a reduced statement. I ask to talk to a manager and she made the same comments. The harassment was uncalled for. US Bank made the mistake but wanted to charge me a late fee, this is bad banking. US Bank is a poor bank to deal with.

U.S. Bank sent my payoff refund for my mortgage to my ex-husband, and he was able to cash the check, because U.S. Bank did not write the payee correctly. After several complaints to U.S. Bank and to their CEO of U.S. Bancorp, they will not do anything about it. I realize they are not responsible for my ex-husband's dishonest behavior (he kept the money, even though it was my loan), but U.S. Bank is responsible for the incorrect way they wrote the check and where they sent it, but they said in their letter back to me that the decision to send the checks this way was made by their legal department. I guess they thought they were going to scare me away saying "their legal department." I am not done yet. Horrible customer service!

In February I checked my mortgage account online and it showed a past due amount of $145.18. Since I always make my payment at least two weeks in advance from my Bank of America checking account I called US Bank. Spoke with 3 different customer "service" agents, none were able to tell me why this charge was made. I would get answers like escrow overdue, payment overdue, and the honest ones just admitted that they had no idea. Against my better judgment I paid this amount. Then a month later I again checked my mortgage account and once again there was an overdue amount, this time for $94.31. Again the calls started and no one could explain, but to keep my account in good standing I again paid. Finally my son-in-law told me that because I was making the payment so far ahead of time they weren't posting the escrow so when the payment was due the escrow wasn't being paid.
I have asked where that "extra" money was going, no idea. My loan was started in July 2014, the payment was $442.18, in April when I check my account online it showed payment due $492.91. I just checked and for May the payment is $514.70. I have never been notified of these increases, nor the reason for them. If I wasn't checking online I would not have known. Plus, each time I check the balance due is higher, almost $300 more this month than last. Where are my payments going? There are no banks within 100 miles of where I live, when checking large cities in Texas it is showing me branches in New Mexico and only ATMs more than 100 miles from my home.
Also, when I obtained the financing I asked the person who called to tell me the loan had been approved if after a time I could refinance for a lower interest rate. He said to call back after 6 months. When I did I was told they don't finance in TX, I explained that I was in TX, my home was in TX and that I did indeed have a loan with them. I was told that I wasn't in their "footprint". So now, all I want is to be able to find out what is going on with my account, to be able to talk to someone who has knowledge of what is going on and get it all resolved. There is a branch in Helena, Montana, I may have to go there to visit my sister and the bank.

I have just completed my FOURTH hour long call to US Bank with no resolution. I cannot wait to be rid of my dealings with this company! Last September, my address was changed "possibly by the new computer system" to an address I had not live at for three years. I continue to be unable to receive ANY explanation or apology from the woefully uninformed customer service representatives. When you get frustrated and ask to speak with a manager, you are transferred - NOT to a manager - but to a "project analyst" who handles "verbal complaints". I've spoken to TWO of these and my complaints are unresolved. I have also been told by ** (one of the initial reps whom I asked to transfer me to a manager) "Whatever! I know what I'm talking about! He's just going to tell you the same thing."
What I really need US Bank to do is to remove my ex-husband from my credit account. He was added as an authorized user many years ago but it appears that US Bank has changed him to a co-borrower - AGAIN without my approval. Be that as it may...... I need him off the account. I have provided several options to this company: Close this account and open a new one for me and transfer the balance; Use the equity in my home to pay the balance on the card off with a US Bank Home Equity Loan.
In addition, I have offered to provide whatever signed and notarized official affidavits that would be required to legitimize my request. The answer is NO at every turn - "US Bank does not honor divorce decrees" was what I was told. It is impossible to speak to a manager and there aren't any branches in my state that I can visit in person.
This company is DETERMINED to be difficult and contrary. While I understand that banks ultimately do NOT have their customers' best interests as ANY part of their policies, they could at least PRETEND that they recognize they have a reputation to preserve. Perhaps someone with some authority will be notified by their marketing department that I am complaining in public forums. I can only hope........

So he decided to use ATM to deposit his check again. The bank has locked his account for 2 weeks and is ongoing when the bank was in the wrong and my son explained what happened. Customer service basically called him a liar, but he has proof through emails from the bank all was fine.

I called customer service who told me the same thing and was also charged $11 for making the payment over the phone. I thought it would be worth it since the late fee would be more than this. I was treated VERY rude by the two bankers who were there. So the next day, I called customer service again to tell them of my ordeal.

I called to speak with the branch manager where I opened my account (Lombardi Access Rd.

They refused to work with me or even listen to my concerns at all, as matter of fact it was one of the most unpleasant unprofessional conversations I have ever had with a customer based business.
I myself work in customer/client services for a Forbes Top 10 companies, and the "assistant branch manager" I spoke to certainly went against everything I was ever taught when it came to customer satisfaction. I realize now the corporate greed that exists within our corrupt bank systems, including US Bank. I contacted the customer service number and spoke with a very nice young lady whom took the time to listen to my problem and try and initiate a solution. She promised to share the information with her supervisor and have her supervisor contact the branch to discuss the matter and that her supervisor would contact me back.

There was an overdraft fee applied to a payment 180.00 that did not go through earlier in the month - so I admit yes it was my irresponsibleness for not keeping track. Anyhow I had to call the company to a 100.00 payment and that transaction went through. I've been monitoring my acct since that incident. Then as I got home from work I decided to check my acct. I had not purchased anything in over a week, when I saw an overdraft fee. So I called US Bank at approximately 745 am in the morning.
The Bank Rep ** had great customer service as I was really frustrated with the over draft fee - she went through all of my transaction for the month of March. When we got down to the later transactions we found that the company that tried to take out a payment of 180.00 earlier in the month after I've made a payment tried to transact 180.00 again. Frustrated - she confirmed she would be happy to remove the overdraft fee. I was grateful. Also had her transfer me to her bosses voicemail to compliment her.
A few hours later checked my acct and saw the overdraft fee was not waived and called in to confirm that it would be taken off. I spoke with a ** from Portland Oregon in which gave the most horrible customer service - it's not the first time with US Bank. He didn't empathized with the situation and then continued on saying there was no notation indicating to waive the overdraft fee and that he'll connect me to **. Then he said she wasn't at her desk that she could call me back to assist me. I asked don't you notate or memo the account? He said no it wasn't necessary. I told him I found that absurd. At the financial institute I work for all calls are recorded and notation is a must for legal purposes. As he indicated that calls were only recorded for training purposes and they didn't have to notate the acct - the only time is if it was important.
So I asked to speak to his manager, he stated one wasn't available and that he'll transfer me to her voicemail. I opted out of that and told him I will not get off the phone until I get what was told to me previously. He then started talking over me not letting me say what I had to say and said he's going to place me on a long hold. He didn't give me the option and placed me on a hold. I stayed on as I was determined to get answers to my previous call. After a 5 minute call he gets back on the phone and said ** was not at her desk that it seem like she went on a break after she had talked with me. Interesting because that break was a long break because I had called in an hour after I saw that the fee was not waived. Anyhow he then said there was a manager available - I told him that I didn't want to talk with a voicemail. He reassured me that I wouldn't be talking to a voicemail. When he transferred me, I got the voicemail.
Called back and spoke with a **. He said he saw in the notes that the overdraft fee would be waived by a manager - then he went on a spiel on how he couldn't waive it blah blah blah. I was tired of going over what happened, and asked him if you see the notes in the account, who has the authority to waive it? He said, "Oh your branch manager, I'll transfer you on to him." All in all I finally got the fee waived as promised by ** and on Friday I will completely close out my account with this bank!
US BANK HERES MY 2 CENTS... Train your reps on Great Customer Service and to follow through with what they say. Acknowledge the customer with their concerns and if the agents empathized and had given me solutions - even if they said no to the overdraft I would have been a happy customer because the agents took the time to care!

US Bank has created a new cash flow system after being sued (hey I got check from the class action suit, just not the amount they should have paid). Here are the new scams: If you overdraft your account, US Bank may not charge the overdraft fee for a few days, possibly hoping you'll think there is still money in your account, and roll up new overdrafts at $36 bucks a pop. I had this happen to me yesterday; went over by 5 bucks, deposited $60.00 to make sure that was taken care of. Three days later they still hadn't bing me for the usual $36 - my account was positive, (after the deposit) about $48 - I used $15 of it for a gas purchase, and then BAMM three days after the purchase, I was hit with the fee of $36 bucks. These guys are snakes.
Another new favorite of US Bank. While checking my online balance I noticed, (and many times before) that my $5 balance had jumped to $129 bucks. Anyone who uses online banking would think 'hey! I must of made a mistake, I've 129 bucks left!' This so-called "snap shot" balance is in my opinion a set up for you to withdraw money under the guise of miscalculated balance. Come the next day, you find your "$129" was only a figure that US Bank tossed into your account, and you went and spent some of the $129 to buy needed things, only to have that money disappear from wherever it came, and have a new negative balance at $36 bucks a pop. This is only my opinion; I don't know if my slant on this is correct, I would certainly hope not. For now I am closing my account, and walking away.

I opened up my bank account with them in 2012 along with the savings account they offered while opening up the checking account. I've never been late 30 days on my car loan, behind yes, due to hardships, but never 30 days because I work very hard on keeping my credit score good. My contract says I will be charged a late fee of $25 if payment is not paid in full within 15 days.
The times I've been late on the payment, I've made small payments during the 15 day period before the late fee and if it's not paid in full before the 15 days I pay the late fee and continue to make small payments toward the payment that is behind before the 30 days getting it caught up well before the 30 days is up. I've done this many times and didn't have any problem at first I told them of having a hardship and making it clear to them I would continue making the payments assuring them the behind payment would be caught up before the next payment is due, before the 30 days is up.
I've usually been able to get it caught up a week before that 30 days. I've explained losing my job as well as my fiance and I've explained my fiance has finally been able to get a job again and that I am now 7.5 months along in pregnancy and have not been able to find a job since I lost my job before I became pregnant on top of being very ill during my pregnancy.
It didn't matter how I've explained thinking I was doing the right thing by telling them anything on top of making payments on the behind payment during the 15 days before the late charge and paying the late charge. In spite of all this, I am now getting countless calls every single day several times a day from this bank however they are not leaving messages just harassing calls over and over when they are well aware the payment will be paid up in full before the standard 30 day allowance by law!
I will state this again... this car payment has Never been 30 days late always caught up and paid in full at least a week before that 30 days is up and next payment is due. Always! People lose their jobs fall behind and things happen! Some people don't pay attention to their credit or know things concerning their credit report and they don't care if they fall behind 30 days nor do they understand the importance on their credit if they due go default the 30 days.
However, some people do understand these issues and are on top of them and pay attention to them like myself! I need to know why this bank is getting by with harassing me with calls every single day knowing exactly what my situation is, I have all my address and information updated with them and bank with them and I have told them over the phone many times where I live, my contact information and what my situation is and that they would receive the payment in full before the 30 days is up, and if their conversations are recorded for quality purposes as they state at the beginning of the calls when I have spoken to them, then there is no need for them to keep harassing and calling me!
I am about to have my very first child and it's not been an easy pregnancy and very unexpected but a true miracle, I do NOT need this bank to keep calling me every single day several times a day when they know exactly what is going on because I have clearly explained it to them on their Recorded phone calls several times, but finally got annoyed from the same questions and calls of where I live what is my address what is my phone number when they have it all and it's all updated as I've told them in good faith on my part and I've also told them it's updated in my online banking information and everything is current! I do NOT need this extra stress from them at this time in my life!
I need to get away from this bank and get my car loan refinanced through someone else and the only way to do that with a good credit score is not allow that behind payment to go past that 30 days and that has not happened yet and it's not going to happen. I have just fallen behind from losing my job then getting pregnant and being very ill during my first pregnancy has not been easy to look for work on top of it being extremely hard to find a job as it is. I need to know what my rights are and where I stand here, can I please get some advise and assistance?
Please.... all these horrible reviews on here about this bank I only wish I knew about before going with this Bank for banking or financing my car loan. All this being said, I've never been behind 30 days on any of my bills and keeping all this in check when you lose your job has not been easy in my case, so I have done pretty darn well in keeping up without drowning in 30 days late notices on my credit report.

I went to that US BANK branch at the addressed mentioned in the form on Feb 15th to get overseas draft in Australian dollars. I went to the branch because earlier that day I called US BANK customer support about this product and they advised that if I go to a branch they will help me issue the overseas draft I was after. I spoke to the bank manager about what I want and he outrightly denied they don't issue anything in foreign currency. This is not true. I was irritated by the lack of knowledge of the manager of the products they offer and asked him to ask someone who knows. I also told him that their staff at the customer service earlier advised me to go to the branch. But the bank manager (his name is ** I think) refused to serve me and told me to go aside and started serving the next customer in line. I moved away from the line but instantly moved back into the line and in front of the manager and demanded I be served first.
It was at this point the customer who was standing by my side assaulted me physically by pushing me aside hard using his shoulder with one big push. In my defense I pushed him back and immediately called 911 and lodged a complaint. But the police was not any helpful to me. They did not talk to the right witnesses. The branch manager did not do anything to stop the assault and kept on serving the customer. I called the district officer for that branch and left several voicemails about the incident. They also did not take any action. I have been racially discriminated by the bank manager.
Disciplinary action against the bank manager, action against the district manager who failed to resolve a complaint and monetary compensation for causing me stress and anxiety these past few weeks, which continues to hinder my day to day life. I am still haunted by the assault and do not feel safe in this country. There are cameras in the bank which can be verified to validate my claim. But no one seems to bother. Neither the police nor the bank. I was also issued with a trespass notice. This was a nonsense because the bank manager never told me to leave the bank. On the contrary he told me to sit at the chair in the bank premise and said someone else would serve me. As there was no one else to serve there I demanded I be served first as I was first in line. So I never was told by the bank to not enter or to leave. They told me they won't serve.
In this instance serving a trespass notice was idiotic because I did not enter the bank unauthorized. The police on the scene was even more idiotic in their behavior to serve me the notice. It was all a joke. I called 911 to protect me as I was assaulted and I was give trespass notice. Police made no effort to check the CCTVs/Cameras on the premise. This bank is inside a Safeway. There was one staff at Safeway who witnessed me being chased and threatened by the same guy who assaulted at the bank to continue to do so in the Safeway premise but the police never spoke to that witness. It was all a joke and I was racially discriminated.

I found myself in need of having to modify my loan. I have had the worst experience with US Bank and especially with ** my so-called relationship manager. Not only does she not know how to speak to a customer but her lack of knowledge was reprehensible. I tried multiple times to speak to her supervisor but with no success. I also attempted to change relationship managers and that was also not done. When we finally decided to accept the modification, we sent in the payment as well as an escrow amount that was owed only to have the escrow amount misapplied. After multiple calls it has not yet been corrected. One department tells me one thing and the other tells me something different. At the end of the day, it has been over 20 days that my payment was misapplied and has not been corrected. My payment is $45+ higher than it should be and have been told I need to wait over 2 months for the error to be corrected.

I had few charges to my new checking account causing overdraft in various times. And while I called them the very minute I got emails stating the charges. They won't help any one out. Now I'm stuck with 4 overdrawn that I have to pay. I hope someone contacts me from the US bank and helps me out cause I'm on the road to upload voice conversation to show in every social network how shady this bank is.

I've been looking for a new bank. I go into US Bank to send a fax. I was told "customers only." I wasn't asking for a free fax. I had cash and it was 2 pages. Total loss of potential customer due to ridiculous rules. How about "certainly let me fax this for you. While you're here, do you currently have a checking or savings account? Here is what we have to offer." Doesn't sound like rocket science. Someone should suggest this to corporate. Hello US Bank president??? One fax turned away will cause me to post my horrible experience with your bank on every social media I can until I'm over it. It's like McDonalds not letting you order something because there's no button on the screen... How about some balance of technology and common sense customer service?

I deposited my last payroll check from a former employer which had to be a paper check since it is their policy that the last one is paper. They told me that $200 was immediately available. I asked how long of a hold would be placed on it and the teller was new so she asked a co-worker. The two of them went thru a list of holds to figure out which one to pick. She picked a 2-day hold and said that since I deposited this on Saturday, the funds would not be available till Wednesday. I told her that the The Expedited Funds Availability Act says that since the check is under $5,000 that the remainder should have been released on Tuesday.
They called the bank manager over who said that she can put any hold on it she wants and she could possibly place a 7-day hold on it. I called the main call center for US Bank and they said that a special hold was put on the check and she didn't understand why. She got the bank manager on the phone who said that it would be released on Tuesday. Tuesday rolls around and now I have items bouncing and the funds have not been released. I call again to US Bank and they were very sharp with me after speaking to the bank manager again who said that she will not release the funds before Wednesday and if I want her to consider removing the overdraft fees I can call her back tomorrow. No guarantees.
She had the guts to ask me why I needed the money... really... Does she not need her payroll check?? It must be nice to be independently wealthy and working as the bank manager just for giggles!! This is what happens when you take a group of people who have no education whatsoever and put them in charge of our money. I am closing out all of my accounts with US Bank and moving them to my credit union. HORRIBLE BANK AND CUSTOMER SERVICE!!

On around 2/28/15 my hazard insurance was due to expire. On 2/1/15 I started searching for a new insurance company as the one I used was no longer going to provide hazard insurance. When I found the insurance I needed, I called US Bank and also faxed multiple times the payment needed in order to establish the policy. In the meantime I continuously received warnings of forced place insurance. My insurance company has been requesting payment for over a month now. I tried calling many times and spoke with supervisors and cannot get them to pay my insurance out of my escrow. I now received a letter stating that they made the payment, however it is only a partial payment. I received a letter from the insurance company stating I am no longer covered due to failure to pay. At this point I'm so frustrated I don't know what to do.

Tellers are uneducated with no skills in their duties. I asked for policies, and they didn't know where to find it. They called customer service 1800 for more info, but for not getting a better picture of their policies, they gave up and complaint with you. They contradict from branch to branch policies. They said they speak Spanish as a second language (for those who are English speaking natives) but for sure a 1st grade kids speaks better. Their Spanish are horrible like a swine mumbling. They have personality issues like ** in Provo, Utah. Perhaps US bank hires cheap dudes to help them up from their personal issues. Never do business with US BANK. Somehow it will cause your problems. Go with different banks.

I'm a former employee...I will tell you the bankers/tellers are under ENORMOUS sales pressure to get accounts and lines of credit. They will try to talk you into opening a reserve line to avoid overdraft fees and instead of paying $36 you only pay half. What they fail to tell you is there is interest added on it if you don't pay it off. Like any other bank, you can also use your savings account granted you have money it. This reserve line also checks your credit. If you open a home equity line, the banker who did the process relies on you to use it within 90 days and keep a balance on it so they get 10% on. If you you have a 10k balance it, the banker gets 1000 points and they NEED this points to stay on top of the sales food chain.
They really really want you to use mobile depositing. They charge you .50 per check uploaded through your mobile phone... All other banks have this option for free. All of their travel perks cards come with $49 annual fee. Don't let them tell you diff. EVERY personal banker can waive an NSF fee but they'll tell you have to go talk to the branch that you opened your account at. And if they tell you that you reached the limit for waivers, they can override it... I've done so many many times due to bad bankers not properly explaining things. Online banking allows you to get a text notification every time you swipe your debit card. The catch: your transaction has to be at least $10. Their rates SUCK. If you ever go to get a cashier's check or money order and your account type charges. A fee they will tell you the system auto adds the fee, but there is a way around it so they don't charge you.
They GREATLY rely on shop scores, meaning if you get surveyed on their performance, and you give below a 5 star satisfactory rating in even ONE question, it brings their survey score down which means the branch doesn't get their quarterly payout bonus. If you ever go to an insider branch and you see an employee not doing a cash transaction, it because that's a new employee and they don't get access to transact cash unless they finish an 11 week online training course so they are pretty much useless and have no reason to be there. If your looking for an auto, just go to another bank. They have better rates.
Bottom line: this is the worst bank to do business with and to work for. Their pay is below the industry standard. A lot of their bankers are either really old and failed at succeeding in other career paths trying to desperately to become a branch manager to make a 50k salary or they're really young and by young I mean 19... No other bank hires a personal banker that young. Also if you're getting quoted rates they have to have proper wording. For example your annual percent rate will be xyz, they can't say your apr will be.. They get in trouble for that if you report it. Hope this helps you angry people. I'm still dealing with hr for my wrongful termination. I hope they go to **!!!

Approximately 2 years ago we asked to open up a CD account- we deposited $6000.00 into that account. We never touched it until we received a notice that the bank was going to charge us $34.00 a year service charge annually. Well we closed that account and put that money back into our savings. When we had our taxes done we found out that the teller opened a Roth IRA retirement account. So we got it with $750.00 early withdrawal penalty. What why. We trusted the bank to do right- they didn't even warn us about the penalty.
Well we went personally to the Bank in Lake Elsinore to rectify. It was this last Sunday. The branch manager said it’s our fault for not reading what we signed. She said a few other things, her face was turning red and she was yelling at my husband. Wow, I told her not to yell at him and she said “well he's yelling at me!” I said “no he's not”. There was no reasoning with her, she more or less put it it's our fault for losing $750.00. Funny thing is we didn't withdrawal the money we transferred it into our savings. I want an apology for the rudeness and making me feel stupid and credit for the penalty!

US Bank just completed a class action lawsuit in 2014. Why are they continuing this practice!? Lost my $70,000 a year job 5 years ago and year after year ran out of savings, retirement, furniture to sell, etc. going down to a $0 income, so near homelessness and have finally found a job just this week! I have watched every penny I placed in this account because I have to. I have had an issue every other month with US Bank! I'll just give you the latest escapade.
On the 2nd, AVAILABLE balance at 9:30 pm was $64.05 which was correct with all of my known transactions showing pending, posted or held already from that balance. I had been driving on expired plates for some time holding my breath every drive I made. On Friday I purchased auto license plates for $66.30. Which should have left my account -$2.25 on the 2nd. Per their checking account info, any negative balance under $5 at end of business day is not charged an overdraft. I could now safely make it to the new job on the 2nd without getting pulled over and in 2 days would have my final unemployment check to clear the -$2.25 and survive until payday.
When I logged into the fraudulent online banking system they give you on the day of my unemployment deposit, the 4th, I was a negative $169.91 leaving me with only $202.09 from my unemployment check. I'm holding off every debt I have but when I have money coming I schedule an automatic payment to them. Those bills would post the very next day eating up and taking away everything. I immediately called the bank. (I was just in there not 2 weeks before telling the most rude banker that I could not have the savings account anymore if they were going to transfer money then charge me for it or make other items bounce because of it, as I need every $.
They transfer $25 from checking to the savings on the 2nd of the month, which during my unemployment I've had to directly turn around and transfer it right back to the checking account. I'm so close to being homeless. She typed on her computer and stated she changed the automatic transfers and rudely said "Next!" as in my next problem.) Now when I called her on this day the 4th, the savings transfer which never showed on the 2nd at 9:30 pm (which it was supposed to always pull on the 2nd) but was the first thing pulled before everything else on the 3rd. I told her she said it was "done" but yet it pulled again and prior to everything else that was already pending the night before, overdrawing everything. She flat out lied and claimed she didn't even know I had a savings account!!! I reminded her I was just in there in December screaming at her and the branch manager about the transfers.
My mistake - I should have closed savings then but I thought when I left in December I would start doing daily screen shots of my online account and staple every receipt I get making sure the date and time show for each transaction. (Last summer I had a sunday afternoon walmart charge somehow get posted to the previous Friday’s business!! When asked the rude banker, she said US Bank had no control over when merchants turn in transactions!? IDIOTS! How truly stupid do I look??) When she lied to me I was furious! I went to another branch hoping I could find anyone who would explain what I need to do. The other branch closed my savings account but said I would have to go to my branch for anything else! So I decided I was going way up the chain. I've had enough! I've paid over $2,000 in the past year for misappropriated fees! I've only made $7000 for the year!!
I called the bank to ask for the rude banker’s last name. The teller transferred me to her extension. I told her I needed her last name for the formal complaint I was preparing. She said I would have to go through her legal department to get it!? I said very politely "that's fine" and hung up. So NOW GET THIS - I get home from my new job that night and go online to check if anything else has happened with my account - daily screen shots several different times a day is now my new norm - and my account showed all 3 fees still pending with a $-3.75 available balance. I again checked the balance before going to work at 5:03 am on the 5th. All pending items were posted and the fees were gone leaving me with a positive balance of $104.25!! Hooray! I thought the rude banker realized I wasn't playing this game anymore and things were finally straight.
I had back MY money needed to get to work until the first payday. Every penny I had spent was accounted for and the fees were no longer pending nor posted, they were removed! I stopped and got a breakfast sandwich for $5 and gasoline. I get to the office check online banking and both transactions were pending. Good all as should be. On the 6th I got a few groceries and again got a sandwich. On the 7th all previous overdraft fees were back and posted!!! And now the new transactions 2 of which are for $5 are going to bounce. I will have no first paycheck at all!!!! I called the St. Paul office and hit the fraud line! The gal was very nice and said there was a computer glitch and that she would have my bank look at it and call me. My banker said oh well! I said your computer glitch is NOT my problem!
I paid attention to my available balance (which the rude banker swears is the problem I'm having with keeping my account straight) which said a positive $104. Now that I've made more transactions you're going to reinstate the fees and make sure I get almost $200 more in fees! This is just this month’s escapade!! I want this banker fired!! I think she sits at her desk and adds and removes fees and laughs all day long! Her manager is just as rude. I take in my screen shots and all they do is look at their screen which shows nothing like the online banking does and their numbers never match mine which are clearly shown on the online banking screen they developed! What good is online banking when your available balance is clearly nothing near your available balance?
WHERE DO YOU GO TO FIND CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS? I read US Bank just finished one well, they are at it again so let's do something now! I have lived in 6 different places in 2 different states in the last 2 years. If any information was ever mailed to me from the previous suit, I never received anything. If there is anyone who knows of any suits I am on board!!!

When my bank was purchased by US Bank I reviewed their policies and terms and closed my accounts. I did not realize that the ATM card associated with my business account was a credit card and merely destroyed the card when I closed all of my accounts. Six months after closing the accounts I received a statement, so stopped in at the bank to find out what it meant. I was told that when I closed the account related to the card, the card service was no longer free because the non-existent account did not have the minimum balance required for the card to be free. I had destroyed the card when I closed the account so there were no transactions. I tried to sort this out with 3 different people, all of whom had no authority to discuss remedies and the only department that will interact with me about this is the one where I can set up a payment agreement to give them money because of their failure to close all of my accounts as requested months ago.

I disputed a fraudulent charge for over $300 on my US Bank credit card and they found in favor of the merchant. I'm so angry I think I'm giving myself an ulcer. $300 may not be a lot to other people but I am a single mom working two jobs and going to school full time, trying to give my daughter and myself a better life. I make less than $9 an hour and it would take almost 36 hours to pay this off. That's almost a whole paycheck for full time employees, I only work an average of 24 hours a week. That means almost a whole paycheck will have to go to pay something I NEVER purchased!
What's worse is the merchant that my stolen information was used for, sends money to people who are incarcerated! So a criminal stole my info and my money to send it to another criminal and US Bank is making ME foot the bill. Jpay, the merchant my info was used with, refuses to give me ANY info on who got my money or even the facility it was sent to because I'm not the account holder! They're basically admitting that my card was stolen and used by someone else on their account, but to protect that person's privacy, they can't tell me anything! I have never disputed a charge on this credit card and make every payment on time every month. I have never had such horrible customer service! I will continue to fight this tooth and nail!
