So U.S. Bank really screwed me!! My check was late Friday at work so I deposited my check 1st thing Saturday... with Christmas and my son being abandoned at his grandparent's house by his stepdad at Thanksgiving with no clothes, I've had to buy unexpected clothing and food for the boy and the extra child support I was ordered to pay, by the court because of the delay in autopay with the job change... I didn't have a lot in checking. So now I'm told that I won't have my money until Wednesday!!! If I would have been warned at the time I was depositing it, I would have held off and went to Walmart to cash my check.
When I talk to the managers at U.S. Bank, manager 1 is just like tough... I speak to his boss and he tells me Walmart charges a fee to cash checks... I respond with, "So does your bank, $14.95 a month in fees!" So he refunds 3 months of fees but tells me I still can't have my money till Wednesday. "Sorry Son, I hope you don't get hungry and I have enough gas to get to work the next 3 days while I wait for my money to be available to me."
I ask the manager to talk to his employees about communicating with their customers about upcoming events that will make the money they work hard for to not be available to them and that I realize a bad Google or Yelp review might not mean much to him, maybe someone in his company will read it and think damn, we need to address this. Now I have to go 5 days without access to my hard earned money. Remember U.S. Bank we are called customers and customers can take their money to other service providers!

Before you write a check to your daughter, son, family or friend and include their significant other on the check you need to know US bank will cash the check without requiring 2 endorsements, allowing the significant other to either deposit in their individual account or receive the cash and the person you intended to received the money will not have access to the money. If you are a victim contact the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency or OCC and file a complaint. Because US Bank will give you the run around requiring a police report "not necessary" and a subpoena "not necessary". Good Luck. Ripped off in STL.

The people who work at this bank constantly call me while I'm working, asking me for my customers' names. When I told my customers to deposit their rent money into my business account, US Bank (78 Blue Ridge Kansas City, Mo) told them and me only $500 can be deposited a day. Then a clerk called me and said I have TIN number changed. Said she was auditing my account and said she was going to close my account. I could not withdraw any funds from my account, so I filed complaints. I'm trying to sue this bank.

This is absolutely the worst bank I've ever had the misfortune of dealing with. I just opened an account with them two weeks ago and all of a sudden access to it disappeared from my online banking page. No way to check my balance and no way to make any transactions. I'm waiting for an explanation from them, but meanwhile everything is on hold. You'd think they would have the courtesy of calling their customer to discuss whatever issue they have, but no, they act like you're some kind of a criminal. Good-bye US Bank and good riddance. I will stick with my Wells Fargo Bank.

I have been with US Bank since I was a baby. 28 years! 2 years ago I opened a line of credit that had a secure interest rate of 6.99% so I could pay off a high interest rate credit card. Now that I get my statements online I just looked at the interest rate and its up to 11.99% without my knowledge! I've emailed them and called multiple times and magically they are having trouble finding the original agreement. Will be contacting a lawyer soon if this does not get resolved!

US Bank has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. Everyone I spoke to regarding a dispute of a transfer acted like it was their first day on the job. They do not allow you to speak to a supervisor. They must try and help you first then when they don’t know the answer they act like they are going to put a supervisor on the line and then I get disconnected. 3 times. Not a coincidence. I don’t they train their employees. It’s been nightmare trying to get my $600.00 back that US bank has been collecting interest on. If I could give this review a negative 10, I would.

July 2018 I attempted to use my bank card and it declined at the atm, second attempt it stated exceeded my daily limit, 3rd attempt I was directed to call US Bank. $918. Within a 24 hr period by advice from their dept stating try again after midnight. We were in contact with US Bank. They stated they see we attempted to withdraw and see it's declined AND said our cards were locked. 3 days later we see atm fees plus the amounts still pending. I called from concern and assured it would work itself out. Not to worry. 5 months later I receive letters stating it's past the 60 day time and they declined investigating. I have numerous call records showing I called plus fax verifications. I requested transcripts of their phone calls and denied them. They are stealing money and refuse to listen to their calls to prove I never got the money from the atms they said my card was locked.
This is fraud by US Bank. Since this now there are several atm withdrawals similar in locations my husband and I have proof of not being at $2000 fraudulent atm withdrawals 4 cards later. None of my atms have been refunded. July should not need investigated. They had contact with us and knew money wasn't given to us yet refuse to access their calls. State we didn't file a claim even though I faxed proof with records that I have. The other atm charges are fraudulent and they are not refunding money from atms. There were drink charges in July refunded but not atm refund of money. They saw my card was locked. They are taking advantage of my and my husbands identity being stolen And my mental health that they use to confuse me.
I have police and identity fraud reports for Oct 1st and proof we were not in same area yet they switch us dept to dept buying time to not refund. July money is in there. Error they are aware of. I need my money. Perhaps I need to protest outside US Bank offices and join up with customers for a class action lawsuit to get my money back before Christmas and I will do it the legal way and get media attention. This is fraud and theft by US Bank.

I have 2 business accounts with US Bank. I have not had access to online banking since my second month with US Bank. It is critical that I have reliable online services because I travel 75% of the time. Each time I have returned home, I have gone to a local branch to gain online access. On 4 occasions while at the branch office it seemed to be fixed but on subsequent attempts to use the services I was locked out!! This morning, I am again unable to use these services. I have demonstrated patience and tried politely to work with US Bank for months! I can no longer Remain patient. When I close my accounts today it will represent FIVE trips to the US Bank branch office with NO positive outcome. In 30 years of business banking I have never had such a poor banking experience or relationship. As unfortunate as this is, US Bank operates like a 3rd world organization. I recommend that you avoid banking with US Bank.

I closed my account with U.S. Bank a month and a half ago when I got married and started a joint checking account through Wells Fargo with my husband. First, they sent me a check to the wrong address with the remaining balance from my account. After spending three weeks of being transferred to different departments and talking to different people, I still haven’t gotten my check. I closed my account a month and a HALF ago and they are STILL holding my money. I strongly recommend using any other bank besides US Bank. They are far too big! Go with local bank!

Despite multiple notes and the fact that my account there is closed US Bank continues to bill for a line of credit (Cash Flow Manager) that I have never used, was pressured by bank loan officer to get many years ago. The implied threat is that my credit rating (830s) will be damaged if I do not pay... I only used the bank because they purchased a small local bank formed by friends many years ago.

There should be an option for 0 Star. Called to inquire about a Zelle transaction that will take about 1 to 3 day to arrive. Meet with rude customer service which stated that it has nothing to do with US bank. If you hate your job, don't work there. US Bank, don't you give your employee proper training before putting them to work? I understand that it's the holiday season and all but don't customer service department exist to help answer questions and concern of the CUSTOMERS? Why are we being treated like pests?

I called in regards of the Zelle to Zelle transactions. Why do it take up to two days to process. I couldn't get an explanation from the CSR. I also asked questions on why won't the app allow you to see description with a debit transactions. I was also made aware that they took the courtesy waiver away in May. Not sure why but life, happens or timing is bad to where you may not make it to the bank in before the cut off time. But to know that if you make a mistake that your bank won't help a loyal customer one time that don't make you feel secure with that bank.
I was asked to be transferred to a supervisor (Ann) which was extremely rude the minute she got on the phone with a aggressive, "what can I help you with" tone. I was asking general questions and she rudely says, "What you need help with today." As I explain to her several issues she tells me to hold while she pulls up her screen. Which shows she had no intention with looking at my account to see what was going on. Poor customer service from customer service supervisor and miscommunication from the branch from the time I first open this account which will be closing soon. I would never recommend this bank to anyone. Even if you ask millions of question they are likely to change the policy within year of banking.

My wife's account was used to pay my credit card down by 1600.00 not by her or I but by a scam low interest card caller who somehow took money from her account putting her account into overdraft fees and etc. After that they reduce my credit limit claiming they cant refund her the money cause it would go above my credit limit. So we feel they committed fraud themselves and are hiring a lawyer cause at the time my credit limit was enough. So US Bank is in for a world of hurt. I have a lot of business contacts with US Bank and they have started closing their accounts. And my type of business is a 9.5 billion business. It's not about the money. It's about correcting your mistakes.

I have been a loyal Customer with US Bank with 5 Business Accounts, 1 Personal Checking Account, 1 Savings accounts and 4 Credit Card accounts, 3 Personal and 1 Business Credit card. US Bank decides to close 2 of my personal credit cards with high limits and my only Business credit card that also has a high limit without my acknowledgment nor did they send me any notification letters in the mail/email. The only reason I found out is because I went online to my accounts and noticed that 3 of my credit card accounts were missing. When I called Bill ** in the Card Member Services Payment Risk Department he advised me that he decided to close the accounts because I was a high risk for having too many authorized users on my credit card and I had been adding and removing. Keep in mind all credit cards are in good standing and even 2 of the 3 he closed had zero balances.
I advised him that US Bank allows their customers to add and remove authorized user up to 7 on each credit card so how is that a risk for US bank and why am I being punished for something that the bank allows... I really questioned him on my Business credit card because a company can add and take away however many authorized users as they want because employees come and go, then he tried to switch it up and say my business credit card was closed because they need additional verification from me like my ID and Social Security card/ and my business EIN in order to re-open my business card. I told him that I have not received any notifications from US Bank requesting this information or any emails and that they already have all this information as I had to provide it from the very beginning to their underwriting department in order to be approved.
I challenged him and stated why would US Bank take such an aggressive approach to close my business credit card 1st before allowing me to provide whatever additional documentation he claimed they need. Keep in mind that I have had this Business credit card for 3 1/2 years with Excellent payment history and even keeping my usage way below 30%. Also I advised him that my personal accounts that he closed had a zero balance and no alarming activity has taken place with these cards so why does it matter that I have authorized users, that's my right and I will be held accountable if anything did happen... Bill ** was very unhelpful, he was not being upfront and the reasoning he gave for doing this to me was ridiculous. He also had the audacity to not be truthful to me at 1st and tell me that once the credit cards are closed he can not re-open them.
Now go figure a Company like US Bank which is a multi Billion Dollar company does not stand behind their own Core Values and hires people that are not forthcoming with their customers and make their customers feel like they have committed fraud but when it's them committing the fraud against us. I also left a voicemail fro George ** which is Bill ** supervisor and have not received a call back. I am taking this complaint to P.W. Parker the Vice Chairman and Chief Risk Officer and to Mark G. Runkel the Executive VP and Chief Credit Officer of US Bank. I have a lawyer on speed dial if I do not receive appropriate and timely responses from the Executives.

I have had my card with US bank for over 12 years and the first time I call their customer service number They ** was the rep that answered and she is a miserable person wow. I don't think she even wants to work for the company because she does not care about customers at all. I asked to speak to a supervisor and she said, "There is no one else in the building that can help you." I asked her if I request a credit limit increase with my 800 FICO will it be a hard inquire or a soft one she could not answer that either. Shouldn't your staff have better training and more knowledge about how credit works and what the difference is.

I was seduced into signing up for a new credit card by US Bank even though I have a wallet full of high priced reward cards. This new card had a benefit that none of my other cards had, at least not as generous of a benefit. What seduced me was cell phone insurance, for all my cell phones, as long as I charged my cell phone bill to my new US Bank Platinum Visa card. The insurance was for accidental damage or theft. This insurance carried only a $25 deductible (I had another card that had a $100 deductible for the same cell phone insurance). So I signed up for the US Bank Platinum Visa and paid my AT&T statement with the card. A few months past and the microphone on my iPhone began to act up and people could not hear what I was saying when I spoke with them on my iPhone.
I went to the Genius Bar at my local Apple store and had them diagnose the problem. They concluded that the phone was damaged and could not be fixed and wrote a report saying that I needed to replace the phone. Lucky for me I had cell phone insurance, so I thought. Somehow the insurance carrier for my US Bank Visa, Card Benefits Services, determined that the non-functional microphone did not qualify for accidental damage and they denied my claim. I contacted US Bank executive resolution team and asked them to look into why my claim was denied and they could not provide me with a rational explanation for upholding their insurance carrier’s decision.
I would not recommend to friends or family that they sign up for a US Bank Platinum VISA because the card is not competitive in features and benefits to my other cards, except for that one benefit, which did not even live up to the commitment in their own brochure for the US Bank Platinum VISA. I only charged my cell phone service fees to the US Bank VISA card, all my other expenses were charged to my far superior credit cards, so I now I won’t even use my US Bank VISA for that one monthly expense. Insurance that is unwilling to pay legitimate, documented claims consistent with their stated coverage is worth nothing.

I received - and personally opened the envelope containing new credit cards in the mail today to activate, from US Bank, as a result of wife losing hers a few weeks ago... There was not the usual ‘Call this Number to Activate’ sticker as I’ve had in the past, but a sticker with a US Bank website. I entered in the requested info on this site and got rejected, so I called Customer Service. The first person I spoke with asked me a battery of questions to confirm my identity- all of which I passed, and then asked me to confirm the date with which I began as a card member with US Bank, and because I could not recount the very day- years and years ago, she refused to continue the activation!
As I proceeded to inquire as to ‘why ask me all the other questions’- which I answered correctly would she discontinue the process, she became hostile and argumentative- talking over me, and I hung up! I called back and spoke to another Customer Service Representative, who was kind, but promised I’d only be on hold for a moment... I hung up after 10 minutes... Last but not least, I called and spoke with someone who was considerate to my dilemma, placed me on hold for Card Services, who took the call within 5 minutes.

On September 8, 2018 I had an appointment with an Appraiser come out to my house for an Appraisal that I paid for to remove the PMI off my mortgage. When the Appraiser arrived at my house I greeted him in my driveway and asked if he wouldn’t mind doing the inside of the house first, since I had just vacuumed and cleaned the house. I went further to explain since it just rained the night before and I had also just cut the grass that I didn’t want this tracked into my house. The Appraiser responded “No! I’m already outside and I’m going to do this first!” So, we proceeded to walk around the house and through the yard, and when coming into the house I asked if he wouldn’t mind wiping off his feet before entering since I remove my shoes in my house. He proceeded to walk into my house without wiping off his shoes and did not put on any shoe covers.
When we entered my front room, he stopped to take a picture of it and I explained that the houses next door recently sold for $540,000 and another just sold for $630,000. Both were on the creek and have very similar square footage. His response was “those houses were either new or remodeled, this house is just old!” My response was my house was the “Home of Tomorrow for 1941 and has carefully been preserved to maintain its original design of Streamline Art Deco.” I also mentioned that I’ve invested over $60,000 back into the house since I bought it and it’s better now than when I purchased it. As he walked through my house like an elephant dropping dirt and grass ALL OVER MY HOUSE! He was opening doors, cabinets, and just leaving them open. I was having to follow behind him and close everything up.
I also asked him since I was paying for this appraisal that I would like a full and accurate estimate including the square footage because, I believe that house is actually larger than what the county has down. He responded that he’s not going to do that and he’s simply going off the footprint that the county has listed. So, as we went room to room he took his pictures and when we were done, so I thought. He turned around at the last minute and RAN down two flights of stairs back down to the first level and was taking pictures of what I have no idea since I was trying to figure out what the Hell he was doing.
When I arrived down to the 1st level of the house (the house is 4 stories total) I asked him “What the Hell are you doing? You were already down here and took pictures!” His response was “Oh I thought I had forgotten something down here.” I responded, ‘No, you didn’t leave anything down here as I was behind you the entire time we were here.” His response was that “Ok, well I have everything I need and we’re done here.” As soon he left is when I call to file a complaint about him. I have never felt so intimidated in my own house by someone and for a service that I paid for. This person poorly represented US Bank and is NEVER WELCOMED on my property again! I feel that when someone opens their house to someone to inspect it, that it puts them in a very venerable place, and to be disrespected in my own house is totally unacceptable.
I hope that someone can further investigate this, because I won’t want others to have the same experience that I had with this person. Furthermore, in this entire process I’m told by US Bank that this person still has not sent in his report. I don’t understand what’s going here since an appraisal usually takes 3 days for a turnaround. I’m very dissatisfied in this entire process and here it is November 8th, 2 months later and I still haven’t gotten a resolution on removing the PMI from my account. I will never recommend US Bank to anyone ever, since this has been a horrible experience and is still yet to be resolved.
I’m really considering turning this case over to the Better Business Bureau, since I have called in several times to US Bank and spent hours on this and keep getting the runaround and dead-end promises. I have maintained in professional through this entire process and received nothing but empty promises that this was going to be resolved. I’m left no further ahead than when I started this process with the first inquiry/request on August 29th. Except now I’ve paid for an appraisal that I don’t have in hand and a couple additional months of PMI. I would like this to be resolved and my faith restored in US Bank.

Hard fraud holds placed on a newly opened account to deposit a student loan check. Was escalated and closed, due to me trying to transfer money into my usual PNC account before the "new account" holds had dropped off. So the risk department closed my account and said after 15 business days when my check clears I will receive my check in the form of a cashier's check! No communication or anything, just me calling in to find numerous holds despite online banking says all the money is available. Well no wonder I tried to use it! My family relies on this money for basic necessities. And now we have to wait a whole extra month to get it! Absurd. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is a JOKE!
I filed a complaint and US Bank's response was "you may have been a victim of fraud." Period. Their computer systems are so skeeved out you can't get them to fix anything they screw up - an automatic 1 month wait for any ruinous crap. I have never had a bank do this to me. I once had a debit card stolen, and they canceled the card but never was any existing money placed on hold like this! They kidnapped a 6,000 dollar check! I am sure they are making interest money off this. Thanks Corporatism. Robbing the poor to pay the rich!!

First off, the US Bank app sucks. There are too many bugs and the app freezes once you scroll down to previous bank records. To my main problem. Yes there was fraudulent activity on my card and US Bank stopped it but that wasn’t the problem. The problem was the bank never notified me so my card was declined trying to buy dinner and groceries. They could’ve at least given me a warning ahead of time so I could get to the bank and pick up a temporary card. The bank was closed and now I’m without money to buy food. I will be closing my account first thing tomorrow.

I used Chrome from a different computer and it still did not work. They told me they could take my payment over the phone, and would reduce their normal $11 charge, down to $5. Are you kidding me? Their system is having some problems and they want to CHARGE ME to make my payment, 'cause their system stinks? You know what else stinks, their customer service, it is terrible... Wish I had found this site before taking out a mortgage with them. Bernie Madoff treated his customers better than these dolts.

I used the pop money service (online) after talking with a banker over the phone and was assured that my funds, which were debited on a Monday would be in the recipient's account (also a US Bank client) at the latest by Thursday. Well, it was not! Now it is even a day later after this already extremely long float time. I was told online that nothing could be done to speed up the transaction.
I decided to not give up right away, and I call the branch where we opened the account 7 years ago. I explain my dilemma. Sadly, and also no surprise to me, I was met again with incompetence and plain poor customer service. This is not the first time. The employees in these small towns are for the most part poorly trained and uneducated about their very own services. It was a pointless discussion. And nobody at the branch took ownership. I ask you: Where are the people that know how to solve problems?? Furthermore, if correct information had been provided to me at the time when I decided to make this transfer of funds, we would not have the issue to begin with. Shame on you, US BANK!!!

I've been a customer for over 10 years and had my credit limit up to $20k at one point but didn't use it for about 2 years then used it for less than $100 but missed a payment once due to out of country trip. They dropped my limit to $500 now. I've been paying my full balance as soon as it's posted online but it wouldn't let me make payments on pending transactions. The only reason I am using this card is to earn mileage on Korean Air. I've requested for credit limit increase but they wouldn't even consider it due to less than 6 mo payment history. They are just too strict on their policy. Just because I missed one payment, they dropped my credit ridiculously low and wouldn't even consider $500 more credit limit increase. They really suck on keeping their customers happy. I'd never ever want to use their cc since there are many other options with much better c/s.

When I retired five years ago, I decided to have my pension checks direct deposited into a new bank account. I wanted a large national bank with actual branches all over the U.S. because I was going to be traveling a lot. I chose US Bank. Big mistake! This bank goes out of its way to illegally delay deposits to put an account into an insufficient funds charge situation. If making a cash deposit, the account will not reflect the deposit and correct balance for a day or two instead of the same day as the cash deposit. The first couple times it happened, I just let it go, thinking I made a mistake. Then it happened again and again, and I caught them charging my account a day or two early on some transactions, again causing several $36.00 overdraft charges.
Calling customer service is always a long wait, and only a supervisor can actually do anything, like waive an incorrect overdraft charge, which they only did once. Now they will not even do that, even if you have overdraft protection on your account. Customer service reps are commonly rude and disrespectful. The CEO was paid $16 million dollars last year. They are closing branches all over now and even if there is a problem, the local branches say to call customer service. This is the worst bank I have ever used and will very soon be a former customer. My recommendation to everyone, is to never use this criminal bank. They should be shut down and the executives sent to prison... There is a reason for that one star rating and so many honest reviews that express very similar dissatisfaction with the rotten US Bank service and thefts of customer's money.

My mortgage was sold to US Bank in 2012 and it’s been like the twilight zone ever since. Started making extra principal payments shortly after which sometimes were applied correctly and sometimes not. When I started paying principal payments that were higher than my mortgage payment AND contacted them to apply all extra to principal they started applying it to next month’s payment instead. Numerous calls, right for a couple months then screwed up again over and over. And of course wouldn’t let me talk to the department that actually applied the money "internal department" (secret screw-up department).
It’s not that hard when I make it very clear what I want done but have to constantly ride herd on them. If US Bank was the only bank left in this country I would put my money in a mattress before I’d use them. And once mortgage done would rather be homeless than let them manage a mortgage. I thought Wells Fargo was bad years ago but no comparison.

DON'T EVER PUT YOUR MONEY IN THIS BANK. They charged me 7 overdraft fees for very small transactions that should have been denied. That's $252.00!! When I called the 800 number to see why in the world this was happening, they informed me that back in July (mind you it's now October when this suddenly happened) I changed my overdraft settings online --- which I NEVER did. When I explained to them, over and over, that I did not do this, and this must be some sort of mistake, they refused to listen to me.
Mind you I never received a notification that anything had changed on my account. In fact, my card had been denied more than once during the time of July and September, which proves the settings had not been changed. When I tried to explain all of this and ask that these fees be reimbursed, I was told "We are not refunding any of these fees." I got the same response from the actual branch manager in the McHenry, IL location where I actually bank. I am closing my account TODAY.

She claimed she can not give out the reason until the back office tell her why account was on "hard hold".

The customer rep said they have no knowledge until back office get back to them. I was smoking furious, it is a business account and I have transactions every day, the following day would be my work money direct deposit day.

Of Course sonia was not available to talk to me, then I kept calling, went to another branch and they got a hold of her, she stated that she called me but it was a wrong number. I am thinking my number has been recognized every time when I call in about my ATM and how does this manager dialed out the wrong number and not check the record or send me any mails.

Why DIDN'T they write to me immediately after that if they found it as a problem, why did hey waited that long to bring up the issue.

In June 2018, I put a charge on my US Bank Platinum card for $2336.10 thinking we were still in the 0% interest charge period. Later that day, my husband told me we were not still on the 0% rate. They send us courtesy checks all the time, so we called US Bank customer service. They said to write the check and deposit in our non US Bank, then we could pay off the $2636.10. We wrote a check from US Bank for $3000.00. The check amount was supposed to be 3.99% interest. Based on that information, I set up automatic payments from our bank to US Bank. When I realized they were charging me 18% on purchases, (we weren't making purchases) I called customer service. They informed me that my purchases was the $2336.10 and what we paid with the $3000.00 deposit paid off the check from US Bank.
We deposited the $3000.00 check on 06/15/18 into our non US Bank account and sent US Bank a payment of $3000.00. On 06/18/18 they applied it to the check we just wrote. We incurred interest charges of $39.43, $44.15, $44.94. After 55 minutes on the phone with customer service, they agreed the $2336.10 should have been covered by the $3000.00 payment. They said no more interest will be charged on the $2336.10, but they will not refund the incurred interest. Also, they charged $119.00 to use the check, which knew would happen. I asked Tonya CS service, "Who in their right mind would use a check, incur a $119.00 charge, and pay it off in 3 days?" She said it happened all the time.

I am not a US Bank customer, and after my experience trying to assist my disabled sister today, I will never be a US bank customer. The staff at the 35th Avenue and Bell Road branch in Phoenix, AZ are extremely rude and unprofessional. My sister is disabled and has cognitive issues and has a checking and savings account with US Bank. She was in a car accident a week ago in which her car was totaled. Today, I took her to the insurance company to pick up the settlement check so she could replace the car. We went to the US bank close to the insurance company to deposit the check.
When asked when the funds would be available, US Bank stated they would not release any of the funds and insisted she wait 2 days for half the funds, and 8 days for the remainder. This was a settlement check on a national insurance company, and a simple phone call would have confirmed the funds were available. This bank refused to make a call. In this electronic day and age, there is no way it will take a week to have the payment clear, and this practice is purely to gain additional interest on the funds in my opinion.
When I tried to explain her situation and questioned the teller and the branch manager, they curtly stated they would only talk to the customer and literally yelled at me for trying to help her. The manager then proceeded to tell me that I should loan her the funds until they clear if I was so worried about it. My sister's rental from the insurance is only covered for 3 more days, so she will be without a car due to this bank's poor business practices.
This company could care less about people disabilities or their need to have someone assist them in some transactions. She was standing there next to me asking them to talk to me and they refused. Additionally, they were extremely unprofessional and rude in their handling of the situation. I will let everyone I know how poorly US Bank treats their customers.

The branch I Was dealing with needs some serious training on customer service, no one really cared if they lost our business.

I was curious as to why I had not been notified regarding the fraudulent charges, and subsequently not notified that my account was deactivated. I was then transferred multiple times to different departments including Customer Service, Fraud, Internet Banking, and finally back to Fraud. There was initially a 30 minute wait time. Most of the representatives seemed angry. They had different reasons why we were not contacted regarding the incident, from not having a signed disclaimer to contact us, or that our voicemail did not identify our name, only our number, and therefore, they could not leave a message. Our phone record does not reflect their attempt to call. I think this hour on the phone with them illustrates the worst customer service I have ever experienced. They are about to lose a customer.

When you open with a brick & mortar bank, you have customer service expectations. You expect representative to be able to help you, you expect them to listen to your concerns & respond appropriately, you expect them to have a level of concern, awareness, & reliability that only a living person can often provide. Furthermore, when you choose a large, older brick & mortar bank, you expect consistency, the opportunity for growth, & a trustworthiness that can often only be found with years of wisdom garnered from past mistakes.

Imagine my shock when their glorified sales rep (they refer to themselves as “Banker’s”) place the blame solely on me for expecting to be warned (JUST warned) about a $1200 check suddenly being reversed & overdrafting my account simply because I’m in the middle of a name change (never mind the fact that it still had my husband’s name on it as well & that our account is joint). Imagine my utter shock to discover than when I vehemently denied overdraft protection, I didn’t quite pick THE CORRECT option that would not only deny just Visa transactions, but RECURRING Visa transactions as well!
Gosh, I must just be SO LAZY to not have realized all these rules about my account THAT WERE NEVER EXPLAINED in the last 4 years I’ve owned this account & NEVER OVERDRAFTED, or even the last time just this year I called regarding this same matter & was explicitly told that ONLY ACH transactions would be put through. What’s crazy is that these people honestly believe that because of $90 worth of transactions going through (which again, should have been declined- oh don’t worry, they now made sure to click that option for me this time! So no big!) it’s entirely justified to STEAL $180 even though it sat negative for all of TWO ** DAYS.
Ladies & gentlemen, not even WELLS FARGO, the king of banking horror stories, did this to me. My account could sit negative for a total of 3 day’s & I would maybe incur ONE fee. Yup. So think TWICE folks, this is not the bank for you, trust me. I expect to be treated like a number, I expect fees when I make mistakes, what I DO NOT expect from a PHYSICAL BANK that I can go into is the lack of help, transparency, & theft I’ve been provided with despite the 4 years of WEEKLY direct deposits (every Friday) my husband & I have made!
Oh, this is rich too, one day, for no particular reason at all, US Bank closed our savings account even though we’d just had about $1k in it a couple weeks prior & were about to put more in. Oh! & while we’re at it, let’s mention the fact that our account is supposed to be FREE with a qualifying direct deposit, ask me why we’ve suddenly been charged every month this last year... Guess what? I have no idea & neither do any of the reps!
I would ask a qualified banker, but the THREE times I’ve put in a request, nobody calls us back! & remember, those “bankers” they have at each location... They’re sterile sales people! Last, but certainly not least, the rep I JUST spoke to (she’s the FIRST kind rep I’ve ever spoken to through them) said that customer service reps are completely neutered. They can ONLY reverse fraudulent transactions, no bank fees, just fraudulent transactions. You need a “Banker” to do everything else. But they don’t call you back! So yeah... I recommend looking elsewhere. This is one pile of crap you do not want to have a relationship with.

Worst call center customer service! Due to a online booking error with CheapTickets, US Bank had asked that I contact CheapTickets to confirm they do not have a hold on my funds. I did this and CheapTickets confirmed that they do not have a hold on my funds. The hold dropped automatically from their end within the first 24 hrs. I am now on day 7 and my funds are still showing in pending status. Per USB I have to file a complaint to start an investigation on why my funds were being held by USB. WTF? I have been given the runaround the past 7 days on over $900 of my money that I do not have access to that is being held by a financial institution that wants me to tell them why. Once the funds are released I will be closing this account. ** ridiculous.

US Bank is the worst bank ever. They charge you fees for their mistakes then talk to you like crap. I disputed 2 charges in April. I mailed all the paperwork liked they asked and in 10 days I received my money back. Today I look at the account and it’s in the negative. I called and asked why they told me my one dispute got denied and they took their money back without my knowledge then on top of that charged me a NSF fee that caused a negative balance and told me I should be grateful they let the check go through.
They were all nasty and acted like I was bothering them because I wanted the NSF fee taken off because it was their fault and not my fault. I talked to three supervisors and the last one said to me, "I am going to tell you how this goes. We are not going to take off the fee," even though the money was taken out without my knowledge and they don’t care. I then told the supervisor, "No. This is how it’s going to go. You can take the $40.00 and shove it." I just canceled my credit cards and accounts I have with them and will never do business with them again.

On the other hand, I should have some say in this limit.

Imagine that you’re 2100 miles from home with your family on an extended business trip. Before leaving you grabbed the wrong ATM card for your business checking account and you don’t have any checks. When you call your bank desperately in need of help getting access to your funds, they cut you off at the knees and completely disable your account with no notice instead of calling you. They then don’t call you back for two weeks letting all your payments bounce and ruining your credit, THEN they tell you they can’t help you and you need to fly 2100 miles to walk into a branch, which you can’t do because the only funds you have left are in your business checking account. This is what Randy ** (the manager at the business “service” center) and Tawnie ** (branch manager at the La Brea branch in LA) did to me and they’ve yet to fix it.
I’m an IT contractor who travels for work and uses his business checking account to get paid. Sometimes I work as a W2 employee so my business checking account goes unused for long periods of time between contracts. Before leaving my home, I could not find my debit card or checks, but I checked Google and it looked like there was a US Bank branch near my work in Manhattan. Clients are regularly slow to pay me for the first time and travel is expensive (I was traveling with my family this time as I have a new 1 year old), so it’s regular for my funds to be depleted to a critical state and my credit cards nearing their max by the first payment. To my dismay, it was two months before this first payment, plus Google was outdated and there is no branch in New York at all, or any state I could drive to in a reasonable amount of time.
I called the business “service” center in a state of panic needing new checkbooks or a check card or something as I really needed to pay bills at this point. They said I’d have to change my address, so I changed my address. Then the business “service” center then told me I’d have to wait 30 days now to get checks (would have been nice if they told me this before… could have had someone go to my house on the West Coast and send them to me). I’m with my wife, child, and just spent $20K moving us to New York… I don’t have 30 days to wait, I’m out of money now. So I asked if they could wire transfer or ACH money to people I’m desperately behind with.
This is not an unusual request for most banks, but apparently the “service” center at US Bank saw this as some sort of security breach so they locked my account. I can no longer use PayPal or anything from the account… It’s totally locked. I cannot fly to a state with a branch, I’m almost completely out of money. I’ve been able to buy over a million dollars’ worth of property with bank funds with notarized identification… I’ve never met a mortgage banker personally.
Mind you, I was upset when I called and I'm progressively more and more upset on every subsequent phone call. My life is slowly getting ruined by my inability to access any funds at all. Wouldn't you be upset? Do you think you could keep your cool if everything in your life was crumbling because of the incompetence of a few bankers. I really feel like the "fraud" hold was put on my account as some sort of punishment for losing my cool. I spent countless hours calling the business “service” center. Randy ** is the manager there and I was told several times he was the one who made the decision to keep my account locked these past two weeks. I’ve left countless messages with him and he has yet to call me back.
Tawnie ** tells me I can walk into the branch in Los Angeles with my ID and she’d un-freeze my account, but if she has the power to do this, why can’t she accept a notarized letter like EVERY OTHER BANK ON THE PLANET? Why can I buy a house this way, but I can’t unlock my own funds? Tawnie tells me repeatedly that it’s Randy’s decision, but she won’t conference in Randy so we can get to the bottom of it. So my checks bounce, my e-mail fills with notifications from Experian that I have new negative items impacting my credit, can’t pay for my short term rental in New York so me and my family are about to be homeless, and I can’t afford to fly home. A complete nightmare.
Finally got ahold of another manager, Aaron (ID # **). Tawnie thinks she’s waiting for Randy, but Randy it seems is now on vacation for the next two weeks. Aaron will not take the 5 minutes it would take to call Tawnie to clear this up, and Tawnie will not take the 20 minutes (takes longer to get through to the Business Service center) to call in. The problem seems to be a deep systematic failure at US Bank. A deep apathy and complete lack of human empathy on a scale that is aggressive. Anyone who banks there is really really foolish.

Wouldn't return phone calls in a timely manner. Repeatedly. Wouldn't follow through on promised tasks in a timely manner. Would take weeks and months. Made it very difficult to close accounts. 1-800-US-BANKS told me it takes indefinite time to close an account because "you might have payments coming out or automatic deposits going in." Those things are MY business, not THEIRS. By contrast, another bank closed an account for me in 5 minutes without second-guessing my automatic payments and deposits. It took US Bank nearly three weeks.
Hit my checking acct with a finance charge for not keeping a $25 balance on the day the statement period ended. I had withdrawn the balance simply to close the account. This charge was fraud as far as I am concerned. The branch manager knew it was wrong and did get it reversed after 10 days. US Bank corporate didn't know what its branch was doing, and vice versa. Example, the branch recognized power or attorney (after taking more than two months to do so). 1-800-US-BANKS could not see that information, or that I was approved as a co-signer on the account as well after submitting a notarized identification. I take care of my elderly mother's finances, but live 2000 miles from the branch, and they do not exist in my state. I could never set up online banking to make it more convenient, because I couldn't get a pin number from 1-800 US-BANKS, because they didn't recognize my standing even though the branch did. Catch 22, multiple times.

I applied for an overdraft protection and was approved for my checking account. To my surprise there is a $12.50 fee anytime it is used automatically. So I would need to manually transfer (advance) myself money from my line of credit first before using my debit card because if I don't the bank hits you with a fee! The whole point of having overdraft protection is so you don't get a $35 fee if your checking account goes in the red. Leave it up to US Bank to charge you fees anytime they can get away with it. I called customer service and they wouldn't reverse the charge not even as a one-time courtesy to me. Bad customer service and US Bank is all about charging the customer fees any way, shape, or form!

I was told to come back another day.
The definition of a cashier's check according to WIKIPEDIA is "A cashier's check is a check guaranteed by a bank, drawn on the bank's own funds and signed by a cashier. Cashier's checks are treated as a guaranteed funds because the bank, rather than the purchaser, is responsible for paying the amount." US Bank has made this process extremely stressful.

This "bank" runs the debit cards containing unemployment funds/payouts in my state (Pennsylvania). I used the card because I still had money on it remaining from when I was temporarily unemployed last year. They withdrew money twice for one costly restaurant dinner transaction, then sent me transaction text alerts showing this. I called to dispute it and they are having me go through a huge "fraud report" dispute process, with an excessive processing time of up to 90 days just to clear something that's obviously a human error on their end.
Any "real" bank would have never even let the same transaction post to the account more than once, let alone put the onus on the victimized consumer. It would have been corrected and retracted immediately if it ever even went through more than once; at least that was my experience with 2 other banks. When you argue or ask questions, the dispute department rep just monotonously rereads the disclosure statement over and over again... unhelpful. Last time I ever use this POS debit card for purchases. I am withdrawing the rest of the funds immediately and transferring them to my real bank account.

Per acclaimed regulation, claim checks above $20000.00 must include the name of the mortgage bank which is US bank. The processing of our checks and release of funds to our contractor have been treacherously handled by the property loss claim division of US bank. The attitude of the first level contacts is below industry standard and terribly deficient.
They are inadequately trained to handle questions. Instead, they engage customers in frustrating redundant and time-wasting questioning. Even the so-called specialists seem to engage in similar frustrating and embarrassing arrogance. In particular, a young woman by name Erica demonstrates zero skills in interpersonal communication. She was inconsistent, arrogant and falsely claimed that she has no supervisor. I asked for her manager, she claims to have no manager.
Issues: US bank demands cumbersome document be filled and submitted by both the insured (us) and the contractors that work on restoration and repairs. The forms are confusing and grossly deficient. They also require the adjuster's statement of work, signed contracts between the contractor and the insured. Also, the checks issued by MetLife to be mailed to Springfield Ohio. The horrible process is managed through a website www.insuranceclaimcheck.com which is not transparent to the US bank employees handling questions and resolutions.
2. Calling customer hotline is painful, frustrating, confusing and extremely time-consuming. And the US bank employees at the desk take additional pride in irritating and smashing customers. 3. Mailing checks to contractors can take weeks if not months. 4. Money not readily available to pay a deposit to contractors. 5. The US Bank employees at this site lack the ability to understand the tragedy of having a home damage. They have no respect for elderly and old people.

Then, once out of her hands and into the closing department's hand, that department never communicated delays, never answered calls, and never gave my client any follow up to ensure that their interest in this loan's closing was overseen.

When I called Jennifer ** to follow up, she said: the closer is on vacation and didn't assign the file, the escrow company increased fees therefore we can't close on time, and it may not be until tomorrow that loan docs are sent.
While just asking her to push for a rush on this file, she simply hung up the phone on my face, for the THIRD time since we've "worked" together on this sale. To add insult to injury, I tried calling US Bank's corporate office only to be shut down and told I cannot speak to anybody handling this particular file, even if it meant my client had questions.

In an effort to keep this as short as possible we will only highlight the issues we had. We owned our home for 30 years and had approx. a $200K second mortgage with US Bank. For 15 years we paid on this loan and never missed a payment. The loan was maturing in June 2017. Our intention was to refi the loan early 2017. Due to unforeseen job issues after over 30 years at the same company the job disappeared in December 2016. We obtained other employment working for ourselves. This caused us to not qualify for a refi because of the loss of W2 income and now being self employed. When talking to US Bank about this loan, they told us we can either pay off the $200K or go to loss mitigation. Since we didn't have $200K laying around we went to loss mitigation.
After 9 months of dealing with US Bank, 2 applications and 9 lousy so-called account managers later, we were ultimately denied any modification program. This blew our mind since we have approx. 70% equity in our home. US Bank all by themselves destroyed our credit. We had no other debt other than a small college loan and a small truck loan. Absolutely NO credit card debt at all! Since they wrecked our credit unnecessarily we unable to even try to find other financing. Fortunately for us we were able to pay off US Bank and rid ourselves of the cancer that they are.
After 60 years on this earth, this by far was the absolute worst experience we had ever had with a bank in our Country. Maybe it's time for this Country to step up and start taking care of their own - FIRST! We closed any accounts we had associated with US Bank and will NEVER use them or recommend them again. Good luck to any of you in a loss mitigation situation. What was designed to HELP people in need like us was NOT there when we needed it to be. If not for all our years of savings, US Bank would own our home today. Shame on them! They are nothing more than common thieves!

I deposited a check from Pentagon Federal Credit Union in the amount of $10,000.00 that was proceeds from a loan, into my account at US Bank. I knew it might be held to verify the amount for a day or two. I checked my account balance and saw the funds were deposited then subtracted from my account. I called to find out when I would get the funds posted to my account. They replied SEVEN TO TEN DAYS!!! I asked why such a long wait since THEY got the benefit of using my funds well before I could and the reply was it was policy. I told the guy that Pentagon Federal Credit Union is much bigger than US Bank customer wise and even when I deposit my US Bank check, it only takes TWO days. The guy claimed they have to verify funds. REALLY?? 7-10 DAYS to verify funds??? They can't check it out with the Federal Reserve Bank electronically or an old fashion CALL to Penfed??
This seems very suspicious to me as if they want to use the money as they see fit in lending to others, etc. I was expecting a delay in posting for my local branch sort of interrogates you when you walk in with cash of $500 more from playing video games - the only thing that missing is the bright light shining in my face. They want to know where you got it, what is your job, etc. If I come with a check they don't ask, not even for one the size I deposited for the $10K - they just hold it and screw you over. With all the fees they charge you for every little thing and then hold your funds 7-10 days, is clearly a screw over to their customers. That money was to pay contractors for work done. I will now have max my credit cards out to pay the contractors and wait. Thanks a lot US Bank for the royal screw over! I won't forget you...

I've been banking with US Bank for over 5 years. I sought to waive off 3 overdraft returned fees that happened in one day, that's a total of $108 in just a day. I understand it's legitimate fees but I'm hoping for some grace since I've been a loyal customer. I was so diligent in begging to get it waive off, called twice on customer service. I thought I was just getting unlucky. But was declined even by the supervisor. I know. So much shame. But I still tried to ask in the branch where I opened and maybe they'll be willing. But NO. They calculated the one year refunds they applied to my account that I further find out happened to be an error on their end. So, just an advice, if their waiving off fees which is an error on their end to begin with ask them to notate it so you won't lose your "grace limit" when the true error comes. Time for goodbye.

Horrible bank! I opened a checking account and credit card. I deposited a check from another of my accounts and used an ATM. My account was closed. I called and was told the check had bounced, it had already cleared my other account! I was then hung up on. I called again and actually reached someone useful. She explained it was a computer error and she was reopening my account. I received a letter stating that I would not be reported to a consumer credit agency, thanks for nothing! I then added my spouse to my credit card, both of our Credit was run TWICE in the same day! Stay clear, totally incompetent!

U.S. Bank is the WORST!!! Failure to disclose/bank fees/counterfeit money/lost checks/false sense of security that your money is protected. When I opened two U.S. Bank accounts they FAILED TO DISCLOSE that I couldn't write any checks for an unreasonably lengthy period of time (approx. 1-2 months) as they don't give you immediate access to your money! So my checks bounced and I was charged HEFTY BANK FEES. They said I should have read the fine print in the mounds of paperwork they give you when you get a new acct.
I opened a personal checking acct. for myself and a family trust account. Despite the fact I explained to the bank mgr. that the trust had a tax ID # and was not my money, the bank made me attach my SS# to the trust acct. It made me uncomfortable, as I had concerns about the trust acct. being mistakenly tied to me as I had a costly outstanding judgment against me at the time. The bank mgr. gave me a false sense of security assuring me that THE MONEY WAS PROTECTED and my SS# would "only be seen internally by US Bank so could not be tied to me or my personal debt." Her gross misinformation cost me double the amount years later-$300,000.00. The bank mgr. retired less than a year later.
Another time I withdrew cash in $100 bills and U.S. Bank gave me COUNTERFEIT BILLS! A few weeks later I went (to another branch) to pay my credit card bill and the bank CONFISCATED MY $100 BILL alleging it was counterfeit, despite the fact I informed them I had gotten the bill from THEM! I paid most bills via bill pay online. One time I paid a property tax and DMV bill, both totaling nearly $13,000.00. U.S. Bank paid them by checks rather than direct bank transfer and LOST BOTH CHECKS IN THE MAIL! This cost me hundreds of dollars in "late fees" due to U.S. BANK'S NEGLIGENCE. This incident was then followed by 2 years and multiple hours of emails, phone calls, copying/mailing documents, corresponding with both government agencies who ran me in circles regarding my request to refund my late fees. I paid the DMV 3 times on one bill and to this day have not received any refund for my multiple payments, thanks to U.S. Bank.
I received a letter dated 5/17 from U.S. Bank informing me they had increased my credit line and encouraging me to take advantage of their loans. A few days later I receive another UNSIGNED LETTER from U.S. Bank's "Account Closure Department" informing me that they will be closing both accounts on 5/31. Upon receipt of that letter, that left only ONE WEEK NOTICE to deal with outstanding checks, direct deposits, and having to open a new account! They gave NO EXPLANATION WHY so I called the # on the letter but no one answers. I left a message but no one returns your call. I called both my local branch and U.S. Bank's Corporate office but they knew nothing about it and told me to call the # in the letter. U.S. Bank cowardly hides behind unsigned letters and mock phone numbers and passes the buck between departments. So much for being a "valued customer" after approx. 10 years!!!

US Bank incorrectly documented and input a banking transaction that went on for over 6 months and now wants payment on an issue they say was resolved. I received a letter stating the US Bank was double billing me for an auto payment that my bank sends out like clockwork every month. I called US Bank and their automated system stated that they had received payment and that the payment was processed.
Not satisfied I spoke with a teller, documented their name and time/date of the call and stated that the payment was not showing up in my account as processed and to please check their records. The teller told me that the payment was received and processed and that I was in the clear. They also stated that I needed to call my bank and ensure that they process the payment on their end as well. I did that and my bank stated that the payment was sent but not cashed. I asked if they could call US Bank and resolve, stated no and that I needed to call.
I called back again to US Bank, spoke with another teller, documented date/time and name, had them check the system and the automated teller. Both stated that the payment was received and that maybe it's just taking longer than usual to process and show up in my account. I had spoken to US Bank and my bank as the go between because neither was willing to talk to each other to resolve the issue. After 6 months, US Bank sends me a notice that they have not received the payment in question and that I need to pay it within 30 days or they will start action to negatively impact my credit. I called them, tried conveying this information to the teller, he stated that that's all well and good but I still owe them money.
I asked to speak to a supervisor, he brought up the US Bank had paid a provisional payment to my account due to non receipt 6 months ago and that I still owed them money. I told him about the transactions, gave him the dates and times of the conversations showing that I performed due diligence in trying to resolve the issue, what his people stated and that they stated the issue was resolved. I asked him to review the recordings and he stated that his tellers made mistakes on both occasions and that I still owed them money. I may be wrong, but if thats the case and the customer has done everything correctly to rectify the issue, then it's your company's responsibility to eat the mistake, perform more training to preclude reoccurrence, and apologize to the customer for any inconvenience.
I will do my best to pay this account off as early as possible and you can bet your bottom dollar that I will pay extra money in the future if necessary to avoid doing business with this unprofessional institution. The manager on the other end of the phone sounded phony tough, not face to face tough, and I'm quite sure an up close and personal conversation surely would have changed his tone!

Line of Credit (Loans): I called customer service because a creditor of mine with whom I have set up EFT transactions was overcharging my account. This is my first HELOC account. I called US Bank to ask what they recommend. They recommended suspending the account or closing the account. I explained that because I have several creditors EFT’ing my account each month, this would be unacceptable. I explained that I would go back to the offending creditor and try to cancel the EFT. Two days later, I attempted to make a purchase using the HELOC but that transaction was declined. I called US Bank and was placed on hold for twenty minutes. I hung up and called back and after being transferred and being placed on hold, the call lasted over an hour, I was told that my HELOC was disabled and that it was unavailable. For the next couple of days, I called US Bank several times to get the account out of the disabled status.
I was told by one operator that it would be taken care of within 48 hours and to call back then. I was told that US Bank would reverse the dispute and free the account. When I called after the 48 hours, I was told the account could not be placed out of disabled status and that new cards had to be issued. I was told it could take weeks to get the new cards. It has been two, almost three weeks since this happened and my account is still disabled and I have no new cards. I have had to work with my creditors to make other arrangements until this issue gets resolved. Here are my issues: I did not authorize US Bank to file a dispute or to disable my account. In fact I advised against it. It is my opinion that US Bank is treating my situation this way because they disagree with how I am using the account - they have expressed this to me several times. I need to have my account freed and cards issued ASAP!!

This has been the absolute worst experience I have ever dealt with concerning any banking institute. This bank, literally lost over $6000 of my money. They have messed up, messed up and messed up, admitted to their mess ups, but can and will do absolutely NOTHING to fix THEIR mistakes. On Thursday of last week, I was told by this bank that they had received my tax refund. They told me that the funds would be loaded into my account by 7 pm that day. At 8 pm, no funds so I called back. I was out on hold for awhile and then told that they had a supervisor doing an investigation to FIND my money!!!! Then the supervisor, Juan, told me that because the deposit was over $5000 they had to submit a high velocity ticket to get the funds loaded and that it would take up to 72 business hours. This was on Thursday.
On Tuesday my funds were still not there so I called again, Juan, the supervisor answered the phone (again). Once again I was told they had to find my funds and was put on hold. Then I was told that he submitted another ticket to find out where my money was and that it would take up to 4 hours to get a reply. He advised me that there might be a possibility that my money got sent back to the IRS but was not able to give me that info. Then he let me know that they had received the high velocity ticket and "misread" it and had sent him something asking for correct info because they "assumed" the ticket was asking for a cash withdrawal when it was really a cash deposit. He told me he could. It confirm though whether or not his bank still had my money or if it had been sent back to the IRS, because of their mistake and noncommunication.
While on the phone with him, I looked at the IRS website and saw that they had in fact sent my money back to the IRS. Now because this bank completely messed up the handling of my deposit, I have to wait a MONTH for the IRS to issue a check and mail it to my house!!! And even though, they admit that it was completely their fault, they are unwilling to do anything to fix it. I will make sure, every single person, I EVER talk to from now on, stays away from this institution. I am also going to contact the Better Business Bureau and file a complaint with them. I also will be going on every single social media platform there is, to let people know NOT to put their money in this bank. This has been a horrifying experience for me.
I am a single mother of 3, and who works very hard for what I have, and now this bank has caused me to not be able to touch $6000 of my money for over a month because of their complete lack of professionalism, knowledge, customer service, etc. I personally spoke to Juan, the supervisor over 4 times between Thursday and Tuesday. He is suppose to be the supervisor but he answered the phone everytime I called. When I asked him to speak to his supervisor, he told me that I couldn't because they don't get on the phones!!! So this bank received $6000 of my money, spoke with me and knew that I was awaiting this deposit, lost my money then found it and sent it back to the IRS!!! And they "DON'T GET ON THE PHONES???"
I have never been so upset in all my life with a company, but I have made it my personal goal to make sure that EVERYONE knows what y'all do with people's money!!! It is literally my promise to spend every single day that I will be waiting for my money to get here, going out of my way on every platform I can find, to let people know now to stay far far away from your company with their money.

After being talked into opening a business account and promising a business loan from the local Midvale Utah office It began when the account was over 90 days old. I had run quite a few deposits for over $5,000 at a time. I deposited a check just over $11,000.00 from a well known large corporation. The next day I went to use the debit card and the account was frozen, I then went into the branch that I was using the ATM not my home branch.
The manager was really nice and continued to tell me that for some reason they froze my account for the amount being too large and the only ones that could help me was my home branch and they had been notified of the freeze and failed to contact me about it. I went to my home branch and argued with them and they called the manager at the branch I had just left because she did the floor work and called the other bank to make sure check would clear so it could be unfroze. They told me it could take two weeks to unfreeze our business account.
The next day it ended up available and unfrozen so we paid our mortgage and went and withdrew the rest of the money minus the bills we paid and left about $2,000 in the account extra as a cushion. The manager gave my husband some dirty looks and was short and snippy with attitude. We took the money to a credit union we have had with the business for over 2 years. Well we get a call about a week later. Our mortgage had been sent back to the mortgage company that the account had been closed! I was upset because we had never closed our account and there was still a large amount in the account. The mortgage company said, "We can’t take payment from this account because it’s closed and you're being charged a return fee."
I called the manager that was in the other branch that was so helpful instead of my home branch because they made us feel like criminals for depositing over $11,000.00. She checked our account and said, "I don’t understand how it was sent back as account closed. This is a healthy open account." She was willing to write a letter to my mortgage company but instead I am withdrawing the rest of the money so I can pay it off the other account! I had our old mortgage with US and never had a issue. As soon as we open a business account it’s not business friendly. I would caution any business to use them if they are dealing with anything over $10,000.00.

I would've cashed the check at Huntington prior to depositing if I knew they purposely post transactions at the customer's disadvantage.
They didn't even care to lose me as a customer (especially since house is selling & will have over $50k to deposit soon), and since most of my deposits come from Huntington, I might as well open an account there where they care about customers (my daughter has her account there & loves it).

Forty days from when they claim to have cut the check, my insurance carrier was still saying they hadn't received it. To add insult to injury, US Bank had the nerve to send me a letter stating that I was required to have insurance, I needed to provide them a letter stating I had obtained insurance, and if they didn't receive the letter, they'd go out and get a policy for me that may not have been the equal to what I had before... Oh yes, and that they strive to provide the best service in the mortgage industry. This from the same bank that knew I was fighting to get them to send payment from my escrow account.
I finally threw up my hands and paid my insurance company with a credit card (which I NEVER should have had to have done if the bank had done their job in the first place). All they could do is fall back on..."Well, we cut the check." What they should have said is, "We're cutting another one and expediting it to your insurance carrier." That was apparently too much to ask for. Funny, I'm pretty sure they're making money on my mortgage and that payment out of escrow is part of their job.

I went to US bank, called them on my lunch break to let them know I was coming after work. And when I went in, the teller recognized my voice. And asked me to sit down and someone would be with me. No one, got back to me. It was slow as **. And the banker that was there, just had a long conversation in a Korean LANGUAGE until I left. Which was 50 minutes after. I sat there and sat there. Because I work 8-5, Mon-Fri, so if I didn’t get this taken care of, then they wouldn’t be open on weekends.
Yes, I’m a ** man... Well dressed might I add. So for them to sit there, look at me, talk in their Korean language as if I’m not the nephew of a hip hop Moguel, really grinded my gears. Also, not everything is racial. But the US BANK ON FACTORIA IN BELLEVUE, WASHINGTON, they let me know, that people still act like they were raised by Vikings in a tomb. I take that back... They are the crumby ** that sits on the bottom of the barrel... hold up, they are the puss, that feeds on the mucus, that feeds on the crumby **, that sits at the bottom of the barrel!

Unethical corporation. My auto lease ended last month and they still debited my checking account for this month, despite returning the car, completing all the paperwork, doing everything they asked of me. I called a representative and she stated that the amount would be refunded 4-6 weeks after any fees etc. All other auto finance companies I have dealt with in the past have sent me bills if such were due. This is ridiculous. I would advise anyone not to deal with this bank.

Long story short, I was tricked into signing up with Elavon (the credit card processing company they use). But when I complain I'm blowing it all out of proportion. This whole ordeal has been a transaction from Hell. SHUT THIS Merchant ACCOUNT DOWN ASAP. I do NOT want Elavon services right now or in the new future. I feel betrayed by Madisen. I made it CLEAR that 95% of my transactions were online. I repeated that because I didn't want the mix up. Well, she stated on my application that I would be using "Card Present". The rate she quoted me was for swiped cards. I felt betrayed when I look at the rates on the back page that I would be paying 3.5% but I am paying 2.9% now. So no thank you.
I get mislead, received unwanted calls from your organization, and monies taken from my business account, but I AM blowing matters out of proportion. I won't apologize for being upset with the services I have received. And your lovely message just added fuel to the fire. You stated it has all been taken care of, YET I received a call AFTER your email saying it had been taken care of. YET, my account has been charged AFTER you stated it has been closed.

You choose to be very inconsiderate instead of following up on this matter to make sure it ALL has been taken care of. My account has been charged. Please advise on my refund. Adding "Respectfully" does not make your insensitive comments in your email any less rude. Sick of it all.

Beyond outraged and disappointed in US Bank as a whole. I had my accounts drained through fraud on 2/19/18 and despite speaking with the bank almost daily since the hack, it took me almost a full month to receive my new cards. Unacceptable. Especially because they kept telling me that they were being expedited to me. Lies. I have done nothing but praise US Bank since I opened an account 2005. I am now disgusted by how I have been treated, passed around, lied to, ignored, and dismissed throughout this entire ordeal. I moved on March 1st and was worried that my card would be lost in the shuffle of the mail. I expressed this concern to every single person I encountered whether in a branch or through customer service which is why my new cards were to be rushed to a branch instead of to my address. Still, nothing has arrived to the branch - even though I was harassing them daily.
Once I finally received my 2 cards (1 week apart from each - why they weren't sent together, I do not know because they promised that they would and when I called they just admitted that it was indeed odd), I had to go into a branch to reset the password. For some reason my pin codes that I created for my temp cards were not transferred over. Ok fine, an inconvenience but not a security measure. No big deal.
BUT it is now 3/31 and I just went to a local furniture store to purchase a couch for my new home. My card was declined. When I called US Bank they told me there was a $1000 daily limit on my card now (despite never having that before) and even though the couch was only $1200 and I had plenty of money in my checking account to cover that, there was nothing they could do. What?! My only options were to leave the aisle/store counter, leave the store, find an ATM, take the remaining balance out in cash, come back and pay for the couch with part card and part cash. Are you effin kidding me?! Why can't I use MY own money in MY acct with MY card? I was so embarrassed, absolutely mortified in the store, and then beyond outraged after the call. If I hadn't reached my final straw before, I definitely have now.
Run, don't walk. The kicker was that I somehow received a replacement card for my then-closed/hacked account WEEKS before I received anything remotely usable, and now I'm being penalized for activating my card 2 wks ago with some "new account" $1000 daily spend limit. 13 years with this bank and I have been over the moon satisfied until this year. I've issued complaints, written multiples email, not one person cared or assisted. Because of that I have told everyone I know to switch to another bank and I am now writing to Consumer Affairs. Next stop is the BBB. How can you trust a bank that is not equipped to help you in a time of crisis? I wouldn't wish this service on my worst enemy.

I am an American working in Shanghai, China. In 2015, I opened an joint student checking account, non-interest bearing, with my son for him to use while attending college in California. For a couple of years, my son was able to write checks to pay for school fees. In 2017, I received letter saying the documentation on the account was incomplete, unless we address the issue, the account will be closed. This is some two years after we have been using the account regularly. I called USBank customer service immediately, a female rep reviewed my account and said that there is nothing unusual and the account is perfectly OK.
Jan 2018, I received another letter from USBank informing me that the account has been shut down, along with it, some $26,500 went missing. I called the bank again and they assured me that I will receive a check for my balance within 90 days. Now that 90 days has passed, I still don't have the check. Each time I call, I would get a rep to apologize for my "inconvenience", but no one knows where the money is. I ask for prove that they actually send me a check, but no one knows how to do it. This is absolutely the worst bank I have ever encountered in 40+ years. They are a bunch of thieves and liars.

Yet I go to Bank of America that issued them and they cashed them after verifying them. 2 months I wait for the funds. And they racked up $2000 in NSF fees and charges. Finally got money but wtf. This time I deposited a loan check to consolidate my credit card debt, next morning my acct is frozen/closed so that I can't even access money that had nothing to do with the loan check. Calling 800 number no good. I can't reach a human because my responses for verification are no longer valid, yet it was yesterday to put the check in. CSR's that tried to help me run into the same thing. They cant get to fraud dept and reach a human.
US Bank is a joke. I'm closing my acct tomorrow and I am sure they will make me wait a long time for my money. They just needed to call the bank that loaned me the money, but I guess this is the smarter business route to take. Accuse your customer of fraud, hold his money (even funds that had nothing to do with the loan check), make him wait, funds clear. No apology. No explanation because you can never reach anyone in that dept. I've not missed a payment on anything for 6 years. Now thanks to them my credit report will most likely get a black eye.

I have been a customer for 30 years. I was not aware that I have a "Reserve Line" that basically manages my money and if I need funds covered it deposits money into my account, on its own. It also takes back out a minimum payment and on top of that, the balance grows at an interest rate of 21%. Since I never signed up for this "Reserve Line" and assumed the bank was working in my best interest, I did not realize this was going on and now I owe US Bank over $3,000. After many phone conversations and a letter from me outlining my understanding and mis-understanding, they have offered a very small concession and have refused to understand that I do not know why I even have this "Reserve Line."

We all know that U.S. Bank has lost class action lawsuit(s) against them for intentionally holding deposits or sequentially structuring them in such a way that it will automatically cause your account to go into the negative and incur a $36.00 Overdraft Charge (paid or unpaid depending on your account settings). I live in a city that is about 1 1/2 hours away from the nearest U.S. Bank Branch. Because of this I have mobile deposit set up on my account so I don't have to spend 3 hours on the road just to deposit my monthly paycheck.
Today when I attempted to make a mobile deposit, I was informed that U.S. Bank made my account ineligible (for mobile deposits) due to the fact that I was a mere $61 negative. The legal threshold or their policy is $100 but they are counting my work deposits as pending even though they have already cleared on my end and the funds are already showing in my account. The representative purported that they are unsure if these daily work deposits will clear, even though they have cleared every day for the past two years.
It seems unreasonable to force a customer to drive 3 hours roundtrip, and lose time and money just to make a deposit to bring your account into the positive. I have other charges still pending later this weekend so I have no other choice than to drive and make the deposit. The Customer Service Representative, although friendly and seemingly apologetic, didn't seem very interested in helping me in my situation, and said she would add "feedback" about my plight. I guess U.S. Bank will add it to the pile of other feedback, similar feedback which brought on Class Action lawsuit(s) and a 1 out of 5 star BBB Rating and Low Consumer Affairs Rating.

All my experiences with other banks have been very good, but not with US Bank. With other banks with whom I had accounts, I experienced very good customer service, low monthly banking fees, low credit card fees, and very low penalties, but US Bank has been the worse in banking services that I have ever experienced. When I initially signed up with the bank for a secure credit card, I was informed their banking practices were geared to help those with bad credit to regain credibility, but ever since I began my credit account with them, they have ruined my accounts by charging excessive penalties, overdraft fees, and extended overdraft fees every week, and by the time I was notified of the chumped up fees, were over $100 in one month.
When I had spoken with the bank regarding non-notification in order to correct these excessive charges, I was informed I still must pay the penalties and finance charges before I can close my account. These people claim they are there to help people, especially those with bad credit (my credit was ruined due to losing my job) but what they have been doing was destroying one's finances and credit history. I would never recommend this banking institution, and as soon as I'm able, I will pay them off completely and close my account.

Have had a miserable nightmare with US Bank since opening our business account. We switched to them because we hoped to have excellent service from a single source for our bank account and credit card services, and at first the bank manager was very personal and attentive. It all went downhill as soon as we became customers. The card reader had a lot of problems, we lost a lot of customers, and the salesman who was supposed to help us kept putting us off. Both he and the bank manager were very slow to respond. We eventually got a new card reader--which we still had to pay for despite all the headaches we had--and for two weeks we did not get our credit card payments settled before we realized it.
Everyone kept passing the buck as to who was responsible and people promised to get back to us to solve our issues but never did. Unfortunately to switch now would be even more of an expense and headache so we are stuck. There is no question that if we had it to do over again we would never use US Bank for our small business needs. This company is so cheap. They don't even provide a bag for our change!

Zero stars Honestly. So bad. I don't know how many times I have talk to customer service and they all say if your bank account is overdrawn but is under 5.00 they do not charge, the next deposit made will be put towards the small amount. They say they have to say this by law, Why, do they say by law. US bank will have the overdraft protection kick in and charge you 7.50. Such a scam they are not following the law. They say one thing do another. I have been charged 7.50 for 30 cents 47 cents. Also just tried to have my credit cards consulted. The teller spoke to me about it like US bank was doing me a favor. WRONG. Wasn't approved, she didn't tell me they did a credit check. Thanks for knocking my credit down some more.
I have been a US bank customer for almost 20 years. I had a credit card for 5,000 dollar credit limit with zero balance. I made a 5.00 dollar purchase on it. I did forget to pay the $5.00 on time. So US bank charge me a late fee of $2 total payment $ 7. What US bank did because of my $5 payment being about 4 days late lowered my credit card to 500.00 Dollar limit. Couldn't believe it. My debit card was scammed with a charge of 119.00. I spoke to customer service who reversed this charge. I called 4 different banks about questions, you can't believe what they say, but all confirmed the $119.00 was in my account. Following day paid some small bills, next day overdrawn charge said the money wasn't in the account. Unbelievable but true. Charged me a fee. Overdraft charge.
They took off the fee because I complained of course but scammed again. I am still waiting on my 119.00 dollars then I am closing this account. Also ATM was down. I have to drive out of my way when I want to use this ATM without getting charged. I had to go across the street to PNC atm. I called US bank the next day, US bank said, "You get one free courtesy to go to a different ATM per month". She said, "So that was your free one and that is that". She would not reverse for me, even when they inconvenience you. Doesn't matter. You are just a sucker to US bank. US bank you spend so much money on fees, fees and more fees. Please STOP. Don't put your money in US bank. There is always a scam behind it.

U.S. Bank takes part in fraudulent activities. I recently mailed in a check for my monthly mortgage payment, on-time, as with 5 other checks that day. 18 days went by and all of the checks had cashed by U.S. Bank. They sometimes take 4-5 days longer than most companies. This time, I was concerned, so I called them. They said that they didn't have the check. I had to pay a late fee ($45) and also put a 'freeze' payment through U.S. Bank in case they 'found' the check. I paid the $45 late fee and paid the mortgage over the phone. Also, I had to call Bank of America and freeze the check that was mysteriously lost. That cost another $30.
Then, the next week later, someone calls me from U.S. Bank and says "Hey, we just found your check! Sorry about all of that. We will mail it back to you." I responded that I wanted to get my money back for the late fee. They said they would have to call me back. No one calls back. I eventually call them. They refused to give me my money back, because they "found" the check on March 1st, a month late. Unbelievable. Of course they destroy the envelope with the postmark. So there is no evidence that they have of when it was mailed, despite that I have proof from my bank that all checks around those check numbers cleared at the beginning of the month. Horrible business. Convenient that they found the check, after the late fee. Very convenient for them to make extra money. Very low trust in this company. I feel like I was just robbed.

Their insuranceclaimcheck.com website is just piece of junk where you can just upload some documents and your request will get denied without any reason.

The bank branch has done everything they can to get this account to show up online, but, as of right now, it still is not resolved. Apparently, the phone customer service for US Bank Visa has no idea (after speaking with 5 different people) how to resolve a problem such as this. As a result, I've been told a sundry of things that need to happen for this account to be managed online, but none have resolved this issue thus far.

US Bank branches have no ability to do any customer service on the US Bank side of things. That is, they can set up a credit card account, but after that, a cardholder is left at the mercy of phone customer-no-service. Conclusion, US Bank's system of managing their customer products, including problem solving is archaic at best, which is unacceptable for an institution as large as US Bank.

I am writing this review in order to forewarn others of US Bank policies and procedures. My parents held US Bank accounts for over 50 years. My mother developed Alzheimer's and my father passed away in 2003. My sister obtained Power of Attorney over my mother. She moved $7 million dollars in my parents' accounts in Oregon to US Bank accounts in Minnesota, Florida, various brokerage accounts in New York and Nevada. All were opened online and registered in her name or jointly with my mother. Required Minimum Distributions were intercepted by my sister in pre-tax retirement accounts so my sister received all RMD monies from 2003 to this day.
I hired a private investigator and initiated a lawsuit against her in Los Angeles, where she currently resides. My attorney issued a subpoena requesting US Bank to provide records of the accounts since my sister took over as POA. US Bank refused to provide accounting stating that it was beyond the seven-year period as required by them. My mother died in 2012. This subpoena was issued in 2017. Five years after the death of my mother. The Minnesota account was cited in police reports so there is no question the accounts existed at US Bank until my mother's date of death in June 2012. This is sadly the tale of two criminals: my sister and US Bank. They enabled my sister to convert all bank accounts to her name sanctioning theft and enabling elder abuse.

I am very very very displeased with the customer service that I have been receiving and still am receiving from US Bank and Mortgage. I have been with this company for 5 years and this particular year my home and job were affected by Hurricane Harvey. I filed a claim with my insurance company and within 2 weeks they came out and inspected my home and then cut me a check mailing it to me. I then go to my bank with the intentions of cashing it so, I can take care of the remainder damages on my home and was told by the teller that I had to get my mortgage company to sign off on this 2 party check.
I was confused and contacted US Bank asking for an explanation on why their name was on my check and they told me that we did that to make you sure actually fix the home instead of spending the money on whatever. That I had to sign my check over to them and they would put the money in an expense account and that the funds would be released once all the construction and contracts were paid and back at 100%. I explained to them that when the storm hit. I had to pay out of my own saving paying a total of 4520.00 in order to have the lights and electrical issues fixed instantly and all that was left to fix was the gate to my fence.
They still refused to even disbursed a partial payment in order to fix the fence. Giving me a long list of things to do in order to start the process. Like sign over the check to them, get a W-9, waive of lien signed from the contractor, paid receipts of completed work, and a appraisal for the gate. Which were all submitted in a timely manner. A month later I still have no money to start the fence and I was in need of money to pay my bills. So, I called the bank and they told me they couldn't release any money because they only had one receipt uploaded in their system. When there were 21 that were sent over and the request for funds to be released were then denied.
So, I have to re-submit all of the receipts again along with all the requested forms that I listed above all over again. They told me I had to wait 3-7 business days to receive a answer on whether or not they would release any funds to me. Those days passed and I called again and they gave me the same excuse of only receiving one receipt. I went through this process for almost a month 1/2. I then asked them when were they going to pay the contractor to start the process? They said that they would have to put in a request for payment to the company that it would take now 5-7 business days and they were going to pay them upfront the full balance. I had to disagree explaining why would you pay the full amount before the work was done. That if they dont come out to fix the fence because they were paid upfront I still wouldn't be in compliance and I would be negative in my balance.
They then put in the request to pay 300.00 to start the process. For two weeks I hadnt heard anything so I took it upon myself to pay a cheaper different company. I submitted all the required forms to US Bank and had them proceed with fixing my fence at my expense. Once they were completely done and paid. I contacted US Bank and let them know I was at 100% to have a inspector come out. They told me that it would take another 5-7 business days for them to call to set up an appointment. I agreed and waited. 7 days passed no call or missed messages.
I called the bank back again telling them no one called and they told me that inspector said they called and no one answered and they left a message. I asked them what was the person's name, company name, and contact number so I can call them back to re-schedule. They told me that they couldn't give me that information because they didn't have it on file. That they go through a 3rd party company and they have that information and the inspector can only call me. I can't call them. So they canceled that missed appointment and re-scheduled for someone to contact me to set up another appointment. Again having to wait another 5-7 business days.
I then start receiving calls where someone would just hold the phone not saying anything and then hanging up. When I call the number back a message would say, "We're sorry but our office is currently closed." And on other occasions when I'd call back I would just get elevator music and then they would hang up. This happened for two weeks. So, I call US Bank back telling them that I still havent heard anything from an inspector and needed some answers. They tell me that someone again had called on numerous occasions and I wouldn't pick up and that they couldn't leave a message because my voicemail wasn't set up. So, at this point Im really trying to be patient with them but at this point Im livid!
They had to again cancel my appointment and re-schedule me for someone to call me. While I am waiting and still trying to request some sort of payment. US Bank is now calling me saying I need to make a mortgage payment that my 60 day grace period was up. I refused telling them how my job was affected by the storm and that they were holding a 4150.00 check and if they would release something I could pay them but they are being very difficult. So in turn they told me that I would have to deal with the claims department.
Finally I get a call from a inspector and she looks at everything. Takes her pictures and makes her notes and leaves. She then calls back telling me that she forgot to get me to sign my forms and had to come back out. Making my wait period of 5-7 business days of making a decision on releasing my money re-start over. So 5-7 days pass they still haven't made a decision saying the inspector was having a difficult time uploading the forms and pictures. Then 2 weeks pass and I'm now at 100% complete.
Now, they tell me that I have another company that I haven't fully paid and that they cant release funds until they are completely paid. I explained to them on 4 occasions I told an agent that I canceled service with that particular company and went with a cheaper company. That the original fence company only gave me a quote and there were no payments made to the original company nor did I receive service from them. That the second company came out, did the work, and were paid in full.
I also stated that a supervisor even called and spoke with them and they verified the work was done and that they were paid in full. US Bank tells me I now have to get a letter signed for the original company and I also have to sign the same letter stating they never did the work nor were they paid and that it would take 5-7 business days for them to update my account and make a decision. I tell them that I've done everything that I was asked of and I communicated accordingly that I wasn't going to do their job for them anymore. The supervisor Ciera agreed saying she would call them to verify if any payments were made and or work was done. I wait 5-7 business days to get some sort of update and couldn't get Ciera but I spoke to another supervisor and he said that they never received a answer nor a returned call and that they needed me to get the letter and have them along with myself to sign it.
That I would need to mail it to them or fax it but it would take ANOTHER 5-7 days for them to receive the forms and to update my account. I asked him why did I have to mail the letter and inquired if their website was down because if I uploaded the form they should get it within 24 hours? He said that I could do that if I wanted. But, of course I'm pissed because what if I didnt ask that question I would have to wait another week for them to get the form. The supervisor then proceeds to inform me that my account was now delinquent and that once they get a letter they wouldn't be able to release the funds to me but, the bank would then take it to cover the non-payments and late fees. Of course I'm pissed.
So, I contacted the original company who gave me the quote. They told me that they spoke to someone already at US Bank. She verified their phone number and said that she told them that there wasn't a service provided to my address nor was there any payment paid to them. That they only gave me a quote. She then says that the person who called them never requested a letter reflecting what she had told them. So, I received a letter and uploaded the forms per their request.
This process of lies, stall techniques, and games have going on for a total of 5 months. I still haven't received any phone call with a update, no check, nor has my account be updated with a payment. US Bank pulled my credit without my consent. and I'm now receiving letters and calls from US Bank saying my house is about to go up for foreclosure due to non-payment. When I was specifically told in the beginning of the claims process that due to my area being affected by Hurricane Harvey my home was flagged and could not go up for foreclosure.
I'm so stressed out because I have paid ALL of my damage out of my pocket that total more than my insurance check. US Bank only released to me 895.11 out of 4150.00 and now I'm behind on majority of all my bills especially my mortgage because they REFUSE to release the rest of my money. I don't know what rights I have in order to fix this mess. I don't appreciate the treatment especially when my job and living situation have been affect and personally feel like this company dont deserve me as a paying customer. If anyone can help me PLEASE I'm open to any suggestions.

I opened an account with my fiancée about a month ago and everything was great. I recently closed my 8 year account with Wells Fargo and thought this would be a better option for me. WRONG! Store Branch manager in Denver by her own judgement put our checks under fraud; they have to be held longer than they should be holding them for. She obviously did not take the time to review our account since my fiancée has been with them for years and has never had any fraudulent activity in his account or any dishonored checks. When my fiancée went to try and dispute it at the branch no one helped him. The girl that helped us open our account just hid for no reason. They told him he had to talk to Sara ** who was not at the branch and would not be in until Monday.
I called US Bank customer service and when they tried to contact the branch they told me the same thing; my fiancée went to their branch and Sara magically appeared. Still no one will credit our money, I have my rent and the rest of my bills due, my Xcel bill came back as returned to my account. This ** nightmare is going to screw my credit even more. This has been the WORST customer experience of my entire life; I have been given real ** food, sold bad products, and I have yet to post a review until today.

I have been a credit card holder with US Bank for last 7 years. Last night I had one of the worst customer service in my life. I was trying to pay for an air ticket using their credit card online travel agency and my card got blocked for some unknown reason. When I called them, the operator asked me more than 20 questions to verify which I couldnt answer one or two questions right. I couldnt remember my father's birthday and which county I was living in. I didnt know the answer because I just moved in there like 5 days ago. Other than that the name of county I answered name, zip code and number of house. Then anyhow she proceeded to totally block my card for any further use. I explained to her that I was traveling out of country and had no other way of paying for my travel expenses but she didnt seem to care.
If she was going to cancel my card based on one or two wrong answers why she even bothered to ask me 20 more questions? Does it make any sense? After almost 2 hours arguing on the phone, she told me that I had to come back to the state to settle it. Yeah right you guys just blocked my card and now I dont have enough cash for that. Anyhow on second phone call some nice operator told me that what actually happened was that they had put wrong social number on their system when they were registering my info 7 years ago. So I had failed on SSN question. All my spending credit was going to wrong person for last 7 years. I was always wondering why my credit line was so low even after spending tens of thousand and paying them on time. They work like cavemen in digital era. Once I am back to the state, I'll definitely never ever deal with them no more.

I have been a U.S. Bank customer for 23 years. I am now completely convinced, a loyal customer means absolutely nothing to this company. To begin, my husband and I were in Florida for one month. One week into our vacation, I called U.S. Bank to get an ATM withdraw increase due to the fact we were on vacation and the nearest U.S. Bank location was five hours away. After calling the toll free number, going through a series of prompts, and being on hold for ten minutes, Taylor came on the line. She stated, it should be no problem to increase it to $1,200.
Also, she would note on our account we were travelling in Florida. I was to receive an email within two hours to let me know when this was in place. The email never came. We attempted to use an ATM, but, our withdraw limit had not been increased. By the next day, my husband's card was declined at a restaurant. However, mine still worked. In the following three weeks, I made SEVEN phone calls to U.S. Bank. I asked each time if I could please get a direct telephone number to call back on, rather than spending so much time going through prompts and being put on hold. Each time, I was told NO, and each time, I had to talk to a new person; Leah, Gloria, Brittany, and Loretta, just to name a few. Each person I spoke with assured me/my husband they had unblocked his card.
In the end, Loretta told my husband she felt there was something wrong with his card, even though her boss said there was not. She told him she would go ahead and send him a new card to our home address. At no time could anyone explain to us why his card continued to be declined, yet my card (joint account) had nearly $5,000 in charges and withdraws and still worked. I am so glad we had another form of payment. This was an awful experience and prompted me to switch banks immediately when we got home.

I check my mobile app for US Bank almost every single day. I checked it yesterday and noticed I was overdrafted almost $3 so I had my husband send me money. My acct immediate showed positive. Then today I check my acct again and it’s negative $9 due to Hulu. So I again have my husband send me money and my acct went positive again. All of a sudden this afternoon I check my balance and I have an overdraft fee. My bank is telling me it’s due to my T-Mobile payment on the 23rd. My mobile app is showing that I had $28.31 left in my acct. after the payment processed so what the bankers are saying is bull and it’s illegal for banks to assess fees that aren’t valid. I’m visiting the branch this afternoon to dispute this. I am so disappointed as I’ve banked with them for 2 years and was really liking them. I can’t stand dishonesty and will be closing my account over this.

My husband and I applied and were qualified for a home equity line credit March 2017 in preparation for a home improvement project in the summer and we set up all the accounts in Paperless and online viewing. So when we withdrew $1000 in June and did not get any email or notification about the payment. Suddenly in August, we got a call from debt collection agency about the past-due payment for the balance of $1000 we owed. So by the time we got that call, our Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) account has been closed, and our $1000 debt is sent to the debt collection agency, and our credit score went down for a couple hundred points! We figured that it is just a small misunderstanding and we will make the payment right away. Unfortunately our nightmare of dealing with US Bank just began.
Disorganization and Wrong information: The collect agency said we can't pay them right away over the phone which is a strange thing! Then we called the branch, they also said that they can't accept a check or cash at the branch for the past due balance of $1000. Because we do our personal banking with another bank. So US Bank made us send a wire to them for the balance. But then the following week when we talk to them about it, they deny that is the only way to do so. And after 2-3 weeks, they cannot find the money we wire to them!!!
Difficult customer service: When we asked how can we have our HELOC account reopen, the branch manager told us that it is not reversible due to the Federal regulation. So basically we went through the HELOC process for nothing, we couldn't access the loan (except $1000) and now our credit card score is being sacked! When we try to contact anyone from US Bank that is in charge of Loan and Credit Line, we can not find any phone number and cannot reach anyone, no one!! So we did not get to talk to anyone at all from this department for this matter.
The branch gave us a phone number for customer service, but it turns out to be a joke. It's a low quality voice recording of the address of customer service and they asked us to send a letter ask for the review of our account. They made it so difficult for the customer to review their case by snail mail!! I wrote and sent the letter anyway to ask them to review our case, and of course I never heard back from anyone from US Bank, not even a phone call or email. Just nothing!
After a month of hearing from no one and we also can not reach anyone in the US Bank in charge of the loan and credit department to help us. We decided to close all our account with US Bank. Then we found out that the $1000 past due balance that we had paid through wire was not reflecting on our account. Basically our account still show that we owed $1000 after we had paid the bank. When I talked to the bank manager, he dare to ask me to show receipt of my payment!! Isn't that his job to check and make sure the book is correct?! Even after I show them the receipt of the wire and called the collection agency who confirmed our balance is zero, my account on US Bank still shows the past due balance.
After many weeks of waiting for the branch manager to clear things up for, they did not do anything and they just keep telling me that they do not know what is going on. When does "I don't know" is an acceptable answer for doing your job! Finally after several weeks of dealing with their incompetency and deceit, they finally update my account. It is ridiculous that the bank manager dare to tell me that they do NOT know what is going on with my money!! Someone is not doing its job or someone is doing something fishy!
Questionable practice of handling the customer's money and account information: The most suspicious thing that we notice is that throughout the mixed up of our $1000 balance online. All the changes were not on the record of our transactions. They freeze the account and once they reopen the account, it did not show the balance we owed, it would not show the date we sent in the payment. Basically it seems like someone has purposely erase all the records of all the transactions to cover the issue of not updating our payment.
Ultimately a scam: After painfully dealing with the US Bank for another 6 weeks, our HELOC account miraculously reopen without any explanation! The branch manager tell me again that he does not know why (he is either incompetent or deceptive). And after what we go through with US Bank, who would want to bank with them?! When we told them that we are done banking with them and we want to close the account, then they tell us the condition on the "fine print" of HELOC is that we will be penalized for $500 if we closed the account within 3 years and the 2nd and the 3rd year they will continue to charge us $65 service fee per year. So again we are screwed by the US Bank.
If I could, I would put 0 star, US Bank do not practice ethically and legally and they made it so easy to take our money but made it so difficult to help the customer. Remember the whole time of 3 months of dealing with US bank, we could not get anyone from the loan and credit department to help us. And the branch manager just play dumb and lied to us all the way through.

My mortgage was sold by the bank it was originated with. I had an auto withdraw for the original bank mortgage and decided to do the same with this though I had had very bad experiences with this bank in the past. Within 5 months there were a flood of papers telling me what I must do and "have" to do because of some sort of "agreement" they kept referring. They would draw the payment on the 2nd of every month and it would not be posted till the 14th of which was the day before they would declare a late payment.
I have worked very hard to have and keep my credit in the best rating possible. I attempted to clear this up with numerous calls and emails and many arrogant employees and nasty personalities. I was ignored and would ask to speak to management and was never forwarded to any such people of authority. I would receive monthly statements and information reflected as I said payment posted 10 or 12 days after they drew funds from my account. Finally I filed a formal complaint with Federal Banking of my state. It took less than a month to hear and have a conversation from the Government and informed in writing the agency would contact the US Bank and they would have 30 days to respond. I would say that in less than 10 days I got a response from the bank and it was just a group of well-placed words all ignoring the actual issues.
I decided I wasted my time and just went and stopped payment of Autopay on my bill bank pay account. Within 1 day I received a very formal looking letter saying I could NOT stop the payment process as and how I was obligated to adhere to some sort of agreement as they had referred to on other occasions. I attempted to again to contact customer relations and I told them of the same old treatment and response I get every time I called. After that I was back to mailing my mortgage payment month after and every month I would receive the next month statement and still date of posting was near middle month showing received. I finally resolved I had to send the payments "registered" USPS and with a tracking number and I have had to do this every month and that resolved their failure to process payments and I tried to explain my perception of every day that passes between I am paying interest on the remaining balance.
I would send additional payment with many monthly payments and they were never posted or handled as I would expect extra funds would be applied to remaining balance. I actually received a notice stating I missed a payment and looked to see where my payment might have gotten lost. I decided to make a payment again and it seemed they had the payment and just had not posted it and so I made 2 payments in the same month. So I was so fed up dealing with US Bank, I have just spent near $3,000.00 to refinance my house with a bond that guarantee me they will not "sell" my mortgage to any other institution like what had happened and is normal for institutions to sell notes.
I attempted to try to figure out how to get my mortgage insurance removed because I had done countless upgrades on the house and I was informed to go to their web page and read and get my answers. With that I realized I had to have the house reappraised again that I would go loan shopping and fire US Bank. The process took less than 1 month and I completed all papers last Wednesday and I will be done with US Bank once and forever. I have never dealt with any more insulting, terrible customer service corporation of business that this company and employees who have not learned or able to speak clear English as many of these people.

Zero Stars. The larger a bank gets, the worse the customer service gets. Leased a truck. First bill arrived AFTER my payment due date... with late fees. Paid by check over the phone immediately. Tried to set up auto pay, but because the account was "late" when the auto pay was set up it did not take effect, causing another "late fee" the following month. Paid by check by phone again immediately. Next month may not go into ACH Auto Pay either, because it "takes their system 30 days to process the auto pay". What part of "I WANT TO PAY MY BILL" does this ** bank not understand? Sooo frustrated with US Bank. Smaller lenders are so much better to deal with. I would pull my lease today if I could. AVOID!

He wasn't provided with the correct information and therefore wanted to waste my time getting it.
He accused me of being sarcastic or condescending after wondering why I was irritated he didn't know questions he was asking that he should have known. He implied my loan app. wouldn't be approved, yet wouldn't contact the Underwriters because he didn't know what to tell them. I gave him a suggestion and he became argumentative. Calling the help number, it rang 20 times before I got a recording that no one could answer, but I could leave a message. I was on hold for 13 minutes before realizing their service just sucks.

This bank is the absolute worst for customer service. I noticed that $120 from my account was missing on charges that I was not a part of. The very first time I called the fraud department, the hold time was a little over 38 minutes. I don't remember the person's name, but he was an absolute accusatory jerk. When I explained that I didn't charge the items to my card (Uber rides) he asked me "if I was sure I didn't do it" probably 5 times. I explained to him before this horrible customer treatment that Uber is not available in my area as it's extremely rural.
To address the other unidentified charge, an iTunes purchase, I explained again that I do not have a single Apple product, nor an iTunes account. He told me, and I quote, "you can use iTunes on a lot of products, are you sure you don't have an iPod or something?" This blows my mind. I literally JUST tell you that I do not own Apple products or iTunes of any type and this is the treatment I get? I mean, if you liked being treated like a child who has no clue about anything, this is the bank for you.
So three weeks goes by after this conversation that already made me want to change banks. I receive the fraud paperwork that was supposed to be here in ten days, and it tells me that 3 of the 9 charges or so are being pushed through. 2 Uber rides and the iTunes charge. Now how does this make sense? They reverse 6 other Uber charges, but have somehow determined that the other two were valid, when I STILL DON'T HAVE UBER IN MY AREA. WHEN YOU'RE SURROUNDED BY FARMLAND THERE IS NO NEED OR USE FOR UBER.
And just to infuriate me even more, the iTunes charge. The charge that I cannot possibly have due to having an Android phone, a Microsoft Xbox, and a Lenovo Windows based laptop outfitted with Google music. Yet somehow, without contacting me at all after supposedly sending paperwork on time that I was supposed to sign and return, I am still charged with three things that have no possible way to be on my account. This brings me to tonight, 01/02/2018, when I called the fraud number for the third time trying to get these things reversed. I was on hold for 48 minutes and 22 seconds. A friend called the number and it said "Fraud personnel are not in right now, try calling back during normal business hours". It is clearly printed on the bottom of the paperwork I was sent that the fraud department is open 24/7.
I am absolutely done with this bank. They are scheming, manipulative, and downright liars. I have banked with these people for almost 7 years and have only had two fraud issues in that time.

Very Very upset with US Bank. I have been their customer for 5 years, and recently added a second personal checking account for personal reasons. I have had the account 2 1/2 months, have not put a lot of money into as it is not my primary account. Tuesday I needed to deposit a large check into this account, and knew that it would be after hours. I called 800 # and was told as long as I deposited before 8pm my money would be available the next day. I then called back later in the evening to verify my funds were there, and would be available the following day. So my wife and I sat down and started paying off some bills, and what do you know we woke up to a negative account balance. I called the 800 # and was told the check was being held for "Fraud Investigation"...what...this is a pension check that I have the check stub for.
I then called local bank, and was told there is nothing they can do because that's the Federal law. It is not a law, it’s a regulation, and the bank can release it at their discretion. I know this because it's not the first large check I have deposited in my lifetime. I have a check from the same pension that I also deposited today in Chesterfield Fidelity Branch, and guess what...my money is available same day. Funny how this works. The Fraud department at US bank told me last night that if my home branch could see the image, they could release the funds. They told me my home branch was the Student Center on MU campus. Guess what. They are closed 2 weeks at Christmas. What kind of customer service is this? Never heard of a bank that closes for 2 weeks. Must be nice.
So I go down the road to one of the other local branches, begging for help, and all they can tell me is that they can't release the funds, it has to come from the branch manager at my home bank. This came from that bank manager who talked to the District Manager. They said they would call the manager next week upon his/her return, and see if they can let me have a small provisional amount. I am now furious, this is my money, I am paying taxes on for 2017, and I can't touch the money until Jan 9th 2018, I again try and call US Bank Customer Service 800 # when I get home, and have not been able to get thru yet.
I sat on hold for 15 minutes, and got hung up on, and have called back and now sitting here 30 minutes later and just keeps telling me to hold. This is the WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!! My wife and I will be telling everyone we know, and all of our co-workers about this horrific experience. And I will be pulling all my money out of my accounts as soon as it is available.

I called and spoke to a branch manager and they said they never saw a letter got generated and they were not closing my account. Two weeks later I received a check in the mail for my money I had in the account and my accounts were closed. I had 4 of them. Then two weeks later I got a letter stating they were closing my credit card account. I called 25+ times to speak to the person they had a number for in my letter, and finally two days later she called me back with an attitude stating she did not have disclose any reasoning for closing my account. Her name was Amanda ** and she said I have NO RIGHTS to know any information.
After my constant frustration she finally said "you have to have a bank account with us to have a credit card account." I said, "I had one and you closed it," she just kept saying "Pg.21 of card member agreement, states I don't have to disclose any information with you." I said "I have a $16,000 credit limit and only $1800, used, I have never been late on a payment and never maxed out my card." She repeated her answer and laughed at me. I hung up. Saw a different manager at a branch in Rancho Cucamonga, and she couldn't find any notes or reasoning on my account that states why they would close my account. She saw NOTHING, she was so confused. She even called and they told her the same thing. She said it could be, because I don't spend enough money so they don't see much interest accrued and I have nothing to offer them.
So not only did Amanda ** patronize me, laugh at me and give me false information, I am now discriminated against because I do not spend enough money. I am a middle class American and just had a One year old son who had two open heart surgeries this year and cannot afford to spend more than we make. We are being disrespected and discriminated against because of it. I have impeccable credit and my husband and I were house hunting this next summer but now we cannot because my credit shows a closed account, age of history is down and my credit availability has gone down, and credit utilization has gone up. My credit is ruined until I can build it up again.
I am currently filing a petition and seeking legal advice because I was told I had NO RIGHTS to my own information, and I was Discriminated against for being a Middle Class American. My sons medical bills accrued to $942,000. If I used my US Bank credit card for those bills I guess I wouldn't have a closed account. My petition is against creditors and bankers not to be able to close account for NO Reason and they Have to Disclose any information or reasoning before closure of account and we have the right to fight it.

I decided to pay off the remainder of my smaller equity line early and accidentally left 1 penny in the account. They didn’t send email, mail, or call that I had an outstanding balance but instead sent it to the credit bureau after two months who notified me. Once I figured out what was going on and that it was a US Bank account, I immediately paid my account. US Bank says it wasn’t their fault and won’t remove the delinquent notification to the credit bureau. All of this over a penny after I paid off a huge lump sum years early. It’s the worst form of customer loyalty and respect I’ve ever encountered.

I called US Bank on 11/07/17 and reported fraudulent activity on my debit card (Reliacard) account. The agent told me that they would flag the account as fraudulent and that my current card would be immediately canceled and I would receive a replacement card within 5-7 business days. Two weeks later, no card in sight. The following Monday, I called US Bank to speak to an agent about the matter of not receiving my card in the mail. I spent 10 subsequent lunch breaks at work trying to get in touch with an agent with no avail. My lunch break consist of 1/2 hour so If I was on hold for longer than that 1/2 hour, I would have to hang up and call back the following day. After exhausting my efforts, I tried to call on a Sunday (my only day off) and much to my surprise I got through to an agent. I explained to the agent that it has been over a month and I still did not get my replacement card in the mail.
After reviewing the notes left by the previous agent, the current agent explained to me that when I initially reported the card stolen, (which I did not - I reported fraudulent activity) I told the agent that I would call them back and that was reason behind why I did not receive a replacement card. I admitted to them that I did tell the agent that I would call US Bank back regarding a minor question on one of the fraudulent transactions, but I did NOT tell them to hold back on sending me a card. I explained that our conversation ended with the agent stating that replacement card would be sent out. Why on earth would I tell US Bank to cancel my debit account and hold off sending me a replacement card that is a direct deposit account?
The major issue that I have with US Bank is that when I called today, I was told that they would send me another replacement card and that it would take another 5-7 days before I would get that card. I asked the agent to expedite the card at their expense because the mistake was made on their end. She told me that I would have to incur a $15.00 fee to expedite the card for 3-day delivery. I explained that it was not in my error and now I am faced with added expenses of late fees on accounts that were set up as direct withdrawals. I was not going to pay any additional fees.
She then told me that she would send the card FedEx and take $15.00 out of my account and the account would then be credited back the $15.00 once US Bank reviewed the audio recording of the initial conversation and there is no mention of me saying that I would give US Bank a callback. I told her that I did state I would call US Bank back but that I did not state to the agent to hold back sending me a replacement card until I returned a phone call to them. Nor did the agent tell me that they would hold off on sending me a new card until I called them back.
The agent that I spoke with today also stated that it would take around 10 days for the review of the audio and a return call to me from management. All of this would set me back another 13 days (minimum) to get a card to me. This means that I would be without a replacement card for the minimum of 50 days and that I would get a replacement card would be sent to me around December 27th, which is 50 days from my initial phone conversation. There is more to this bad experience so I will explain in a nutshell that I was treated in a disrespectful manner and indications were made that I was not being upfront and honest.
I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told that it was not possible because there were two supervisors for the agent to list. I was also repeatedly interrupted and the agent would "talk over" me when I was attempting to get a point across. I did not yell, swear or become disrespectful to the agent any time during our conversation. I had to laugh to myself because US Bank is willing to do go through of this extra work/time at their expense instead of just sending me an expedited card for $15.00. Talk about counter production! Wow. My recommendation would be to bypass this bank and go elsewhere.

Absolutely the most inept financial institution I've ever dealt with. I fell behind in my auto loan by two payments after being off work for two months due to an injury. I paid the delinquent funds. Four days later my vehicle was repossessed. No notification whatsoever. When I called them they didn't admit their mistake however did say that they would waive the repo fee of $500 and that I would have to pay $180 in late fees to acquire the vehicle. I paid it online (There are no US Bank locations in my state).
I called them 24 hours later to ascertain if I could pick up my vehicle and was told I would have to wait 7 days until my funds cleared. When I mentioned that it showed it had cleared online the customer service rep said 'How do you know it cleared?" I stated "On my online account". She again stated it would take 7 days to clear. I attempted to check the online status again the next day to find that my online account had been deleted. This "Bank" is a big money making, opportunistic, dishonest farce. There will come a day they will be investigated and shut down. Do not do business with them.

I almost never go thru the hassle of setting up an account to write a review, but I just couldn’t let this experience go without telling whomever reads this to stay away from US Bank. The federal government should launch an investigation into this deceptive company. I’ve been a Harley-Davidson Visa account holder since probably 2004, and always paid my statement off generally every month.
I decided a few months ago to use one of their “balance transfer” checks - and wow what a mistake that was. It was a no interest till early 2019 promo (with minimum monthly payment). I paid the transfer fee and expected to make the minimum monthly payment until it became due and then I was going to pay it off. I do this a lot, because sometimes it works for me to use the bank's money. After a couple of billing cycles, I noticed I was incurring interest on my account, which didn’t make sense because I was paying my daily purchases off every month.
So I called customer service and after being routed to 3 different agents, they told me that they changed the terms (the rate went from zero to variable) and the money I was paying toward my monthly purchases was also being used toward paying down my balance transfer (not due till 2019!!). I asked them how much of the $2200 promo balance I had left to pay, and they said appx $650.
So essentially I had no idea based on a regular statement how much of the money I was paying every month was going to the promo or going toward my purchases! It doesn’t break that down, and no agent could really tell me either. You’re looking at your online statement with no clue on how they achieve the numbers that are in front of you.
I couldn’t believe that a multi billion dollar bank was actually doing this to me, honestly. They just straight changed the terms of my offer, and left me to try and sort it out. I’m fortunate - I have the money to pay these thieves off, and did. But what about the folks that trusted that their zero interest balance transfer promo was going to expire in 2019 and budgeted accordingly? The “supervisor” actually apologized and said that yes, there was definitely some “confusion” between the initial offer (which I paid a $64 dollar transfer fee to do) and what was transpiring on my account now.
I said, "No, there wasn’t any confusion - US Bank just changed the rules in the middle of the game." Disgusting and shady tactics to play on a consumer, and after being a HD Visa card holder since basically it's inception, I’m done. I can only hope someone from Harley reads this and looks into the fraudulent activity of US Bank. Avoid this scamming company!

Never in my life have I choose to use such a terrible bank. They forget to tell you that every time you check your account balance at a non US Bank atm you will be charged three dollars. Just to check your balance then if you deposit any cash into your account at a local branch you will not have access to your funds for at least 24 hours. Then if you use different atms after making a deposit then you get charged every single time. Also make sure you turn your overdraft protection off. If you do not and your account becomes overdrawn. They charge you twenty five dollars every few days till it's back to a positive Balance.
That cost me $310.00 because it also takes the bank 3-4 days to clear a debit purchase at a Walmart. I do not recommend this bank unless you like to keep a eagle eye on your account. And also they keep shutting my card off because of a fraud alert because I bought a few things at different stores. And they will freeze your account. Until you do the 30 mins it was me using my own card spending my own money. God I hate this bank.

I have been a very long-standing customer of US Bank. Last week I applied for an auto-loan. I received an email to check the status of my application; which I did religiously. Before a week had passed, I reached out to the Bank just to find out that my loan had been denied. My issue is that instead of calling me to tell me this (which I could have been looking for a loan elsewhere); had I not had the initiative to call to inquire, I would have wasted 2 weeks waiting to get the denial. Further, why have an online system that is not accurately updated thus further deceiving customers -- I could have found out this way. This is, by far, the most disappointing experience. After I get my loan situation squared away, I will no longer bank with US Bank. Over the phone the rep told me tonight; that typically if the loan is approved, a call is made but if not, there's no call - just a letter. Obviously, US Bank can't even distinguish itself from others bank. They just can't.

US Bank has disappointed numerous times. It started with them paying a SECOND homeowner's insurance policy out of my escrow account WITHOUT COMMUNICATING WITH ME AT ALL. I was not aware they had done this until months later, when my escrow account was incredibly short. Then, it was up to ME to battle through red tape with the second company, because I had to do the legwork to get the refund, and then send it to US Bank so that they could deposit it back into my escrow account.
This hassle lasted literally months. Once I was even told by a US Bank "supervisor" (if you can call them that) that she had finally reached the appropriate person by phone, and confirmed my refund was in the mail. But a month later, the refund was nowhere to be seen. I'm SO incredibly tired of their mistakes. But on top of that, I'm completely done with them now because they have no problem putting the weight of correcting their mistakes on their paying customers!
Customer service is a joke... It truly doesn't exist. Then, on top of all of that, their website hasn't been working for a few days, at least not from my iPhone, which is how I pay my mortgage every month. I called for help, and I've been told by numerous employees now that I should try a different computer, because no one else is having issues with their site. I explained other websites and apps are working fine on my phone, and that I've always used this phone, so that really doesn't make sense, nor is it a reason to NOT offer me ANY customer service.
So I hung up and tried the site again later to no avail. So, I called again, and asked for a supervisor who could wave the fee and accept my payment due to the issues I was having online. First Katy told me they couldn't help me, but she was happy to transfer me to technical support. I'm so sick of being shuffled through people who are wasting my time. Then I talked to Sarah I believe? (Honestly, it's been too many to keep track of, and when I've asked them to pull calls in the past when their crap doesn't add up, they can't even let you talk to the department that "pulls calls" nor can you follow up with anyone, nor do they follow up with you... sounds a lot like that department either doesn't exist or they intentionally make it impossible for customers to get to the bottom of any real issue.)
When Katy transferred me to her "supervisor" Sarah, shockingly, she said she was unable to help me as well. I was confused as to why I was transferred to someone who still couldn't help me??? Then I talked to James, who was a DELITE and offered zero help, but with an added bonus - attitude! Don't you love when the very people you pay for the service you are using offer zero customer service AND a little ship on THEIR shoulder??? I would recommend everyone run from this company. I'm now a thoroughly disgruntled customer, who'll be refinancing my house as soon as financially wise and then I'll be rid of them for good.

If I could give them a lower score than one star I would. The past few months their customer service and the service they provide in their fraud department is crazy. I filed a fraud claim with them for fraudulent charges on my debit card and gave them the charges that I didn't recognize. A few days later I called them back regarding one of the charges and told them I recognized one of the charges. They said they would remove that charge from the claim and not pursue it. I told them ok and that I had resolved the issue with the merchant.
They also told me that they had cancelled my debit card and I requested one to be sent. They never sent it even after I had requested it 2 more times from them. They also pursued the charge they said they wouldn't. I called multiple times asking to speak to a supervisor and was told again and again that a supervisor would contact me and still haven't gotten one call. When I originally filed the claim noticing a pending charge they said they cancelled the transaction and wouldn't allow any more charges to go through. Well after they cancelled it they approved the transaction and the company charged me again and I had another pending transaction pulling more funds from my account.
In total 4 charges were processed almost clearing my debit account from my recently deposited check. I have 3 children that I work hard for and we struggled for the next week till I got paid again. Then I had to wait 10 days to receive a credit back from US Bank with them saying there wasn't anything they could do even from their mistake. So finally today just so upset with their customer service, professionalism, and business practices I am going to be a Chase customer. New checking and savings, and I will be closing my 2 checking accounts, savings account, my wife's checking, and her credit card after it's paid off. Wow after years of being a loyal customer.

I am an international student from India and a student at Chico State. I have had accounts previously with Wells Fargo, Chase, BOA. My experience with each of them was the best. HERE IS US BANK EXPERIENCE. TERRIBLE! Read below WHY: Account Opened: 29th June 2017. I found online a US Bank promotion for opening a Checking account. Promotion: $200 cash reward towards account for opening a checking account (Silver, Gold or Platinum). Condition: $500 Direct Deposit or $25+ online bill payment. What Happened then? I approached the US Bank branch near me (ADDRESS: 260 E 2nd St, Chico, CA 95928). A banker greeted me to process my request. THIS LADY BANKER WAS NOT AWARE OF ITS OWN BANK'S PROMOTION! She took a moment, searched online, found the information, verified it and said "Let's do it. It needs a code. Do I have it?"
I presented my promotional code, received by sending a text msg to a number given for the promotion. She started filing my account, asking about details my details required to open a checking account. When provided with my SSN number, the lady banker says I am pre-qualified for a credit card of the bank. WOW! I was happy. But, here is what happened, TERRIBLE! I asked "What type of card it is? What are the benefits?" I assumed she will just tell me about what are the card the US BANK offer and tell the benefits they carry. Next minute, I am notified by Credit Karma, "A HARD CREDIT INQUIRY HAS JUST HAPPENED ON YOUR ACCOUNT"... WHAT!!! I stopped the lady banker and asked why are you doing a credit check to just tell me about your Credit Cards? Why do you need to do a credit check?
Lady banker, "Don't worry it is a soft pull." I asked 3 times if she was sure. She said "Don't worry." I kept away my phone and continued to hear. She gave me a paper that had picture of 3 credit cards and their benefits. I said "Thank You, this is what I wanted." "Why did you did credit check?" The lady banker said "To tell the benefits for you." "Do You want to accept a Credit Card today? You have 10 days from today to accept." I said, "NO, NOT TODAY. I will go over the details and decide. Was this a soft pull sure?" Lady banker, "Yes sir. Let’s, go ahead and complete the account."
[So, I did not applied for any credit card. I did not approved for any credit check. I was not given a signature pad to sign for credit check or credit application. ***IT WAS A HARD CREDIT CHECK ON MY ACCOUNT via TRANS-UNION*** I learned it later.]. So, US BANK Checking account was opened, the LADY BANKER went over the account details page over page. Handed me printed document and gave me a temporary US Bank Visa debit card. I walked away thinking all done but, later I learned that: ***It was a hard credit check*** I approached the bank and spoke to a teller, as the lady banker who opened my account was not present. She went through the system and my account and said: "I do not see any application for any credit card. There is no application for any credit card by you!"
Thus, 1. They did a hard credit check without my consent. 2. The lady banker and now the bank manager deny over this scenario. 3. They send me a debit card that had no chip. I did not receive my promotional $200, because according to them I did not pay using bill pay service. 4. The lady banker did not go over the promotional offer conditions and now I have to let go the promotional benefit for which I opened the account. 5. The lady banker had NO KNOWLEDGE about credit score, banks promotional offers and any bank service. I brought to her notice about a service that was being ad ON HER DESK.
6. The bank signed me a paper for "CREDIT INQUIRY WITHDRAW" but did not processed it, sending a rejection letter. 7. The customer care I spoke to said, the branch can extend my promotion, I asked the Customer Care representative to speak with the banker, THE BANKER REFUSES TO THE REPRESENTATIVE TO DO ANYTHING IN THIS CASE and mentioned a wrong details of "banker provided me a information page of the promotion. Whereas I was not given any of such promotion condition page, nor did the BANKER knew basically about any such promotion in first place. 8. Rude way of talking. 9. No help, even they district manager said to help but did not stand to the word.
I believe the bank have understood that the lady banker had done a mistake and TO HIDE IT, THEY ARE PLAYING GAMES WITH ME, NOT GIVING ME SERVICE.*** I closed my account today Oct 11, 2017. I am badly hurt by their approach. I FEEL CHEATED and TAKEN ADVANTAGE of limitations of being an international student.

They said that they would not give me the offer unless I mailed in a copy of the promotion that they sent me.
If I was looking for a credit card, I would not sign up for this card. They make it extremely hard to get your money back. Even their cash back deals require customers to go online and select their choices that they want money back from. They want to make it as hard as possible for you to get any of the promotions that they lure you in with. There are a lot of other companies that do not try and scam their customers out of the promotions that they send out.

Never have we experienced such poor service as we have had with US Bank. Once our money was placed in US Bank it became very hard to transfer it out. Linking our accounts to other banks or even setting up direct deposits proved to be difficult with US Bank. Their accounts charge maintenance fees unless you choose to forego paper statements. This can be a issue if you do no log into your online account on a regular basis. We missed a transfer error on our account and were notified not notified of a low balance until 2 months later. We were charged over 200$ in overdraft fees.
When we called the branch where we opened the account in Long Beach, CA (Pavillions location) we were told that a report would be filed and we would get an email action response. Ten days passed and when we did not receive an email we called back to follow up. The banker Frank told us the we should expect something within a week. Once again 10 days passed. This time we went into the branch who again told us they would follow up. No response again.
When I called to follow up I was told that because 3 months had passed there was nothing that could be done. The branch gave me the runaround for months and then used the 3 month rule as an excuse. The interesting thing is that my linked savings account had more than sufficient funds in it. All of the other banks I work with immediately transfer funds in these situations as well as work with you if an issue like this occurs. When I called customer service about this I was told a supervisor would call me to discuss the situation. Weeks passed and once again no response. Every time I spoke to a representative no attempt to keep my business or apologies were ever given. Very disappointing experience.

I recently decided to finance my basement remodel project and went to Lending Tree. Immediately I received a call from US Bank describing all of the options for a HELOC. I began the application process without any concern as my credit score is 824 and my salary is substantial and I have very little debt. I applied for a HELOC of $25,000. I had just had an appraisal done for a mortgage refinance 1 month prior but they would not accept it. The home was valued at $240,000 and my current loan had a balance of $187,000. I was looking at the HELOC with up to 90% LTV. I received an email with a request for multiple documents and completed the request that same day. The loan officer assigned to me was Jeffrey ** per the name at the bottom of the email.
I called 2 weeks later to see if anything was missing and what the next steps were. I was told that I was going to have a "desktop appraisal" done, and not an actual appraisal where my house is actually visited. Another 2 weeks passed. I called and asked if anything had progressed and the lady on the phone said that my appraisal had just been completed the night before and she was sure Jeffrey ** would be calling me, but she could tell me that my appraisal came in a $225,000 so there was not enough equity to support my request. I was stunned and asked how that possibly could be the value and she said that there weren't enough comparables. My actual appraiser the month prior said he had an abundance of comparables.
I asked when I would be contacted and what I could do about this and she said that she would put in an urgent request for Jeffrey ** to contact me to discuss options for an in home appraisal, especially since I also just put in 2 large egress windows in my basement since that appraisal. Another week went by and I called again, needing to leave a message for Jeffrey ** to call me back. Again no callback. Today I received a letter stating I have been denied credit as I do not have enough equity. It is not signed by anyone, just Consumer Lending Division.

They lost a very good customer (potential) and I am now so far behind in the project planning that I will need to switch contractors in order to get this done before the end of the year. I wonder if Jeffrey ** is a real person.

Today, I made a car purchase and I needed to use this bank in order to do a cash advance. Mind you, I have an account with US Bank but I never use it. I only opened it because of the area I previously resided in at the time and the discount I would get for opening an account as a veteran. The teller was very nice, and welcoming. But the issue more so lies with the manager who was present during the ordeal. The manager wasn't friendly, and didn't speak. I thought it was very rude that he also kept watching my account on the teller's computer. He would continuously glare and watch me but wouldn't speak or be courteous.
The teller was very friendly. The manager whose name is David ** was just not professional at all. I realized that the bank area that I was in mostly catered to more upper-class individuals but that doesn't give people a reason to feel more superior as opposed to that particular individual. Never have I felt so small, hopefully someone else won't feel the same way I did. This all occurred in the Sartell, MN US Bank.

Working with U.S. Bank has been a nightmare. My wife and I have been working with a local mortgage company to buy a home and we were supposed to close back on July 6th. However, we have not been able to close because we are waiting on U.S. Bank to clear the title from the sellers. The local title company we are working with, and the agents associated to them, have not been able to do anything since U.S. Bank have begun to refuse phone calls from them! My wife is one week from our baby's due date and working with our current landlord is hard as he is trying to get someone to take occupancy when we leave, but U.S. Bank doesn't care about those things. To them, we are just another case number on their desk. They don't care about the stress this has put on my pregnant wife or the fact that we are almost 2 months late on closing because the U.S. Bank and their attorneys won't get the documents pushed to clear.
Because they refuse to talk to us or our agents about getting the documents completed and pushed through the necessary departments, we have to voice our concerns publicly. Unfortunately, that may be the only way to get the attention we need to get these documents completed for us to close on our house. I understand there are many departments within this large conglomerate, but the way we have been treated in this process has been miserable. I sincerely hope that no one has experiences like this with U.S. Bank.

U.S. Bank is awful. They could care less about their customers, unless you are a Huge depositor. We have been with them for about 25 years, and are still treated like crap. They could care less about your problems or issues that come up, unless you have lots of money, or are a local celeb. Then it's a different story. I have several issues with that bank. First, we have been trying for over 3 years to get a lower interest rate on our homeowner's loan, & we've had 2 different branch managers TELL US that we are paying U.S. Bank WAY TOO MUCH interest, but before either of them could help us, they would either quit or be transferred to a different branch.
I've tried to find out where either one went, but no one seems to want to tell us. Although I just spoke to a branch manager (David) at Western Hills who seemed to show a little more compassion, to try and help, so he'll probably be gone as soon as corporate finds out that he's actually trying to be helpful to regular customers. Plus if God forbid you have an overdraft, you had better make a deposit THAT day, or YOU WILL get slapped with a $35.00 overdraft fee.
Other banks (PNC, Huntington...) AT LEAST give you 24 hours to make your account right, but not good old U.S. Bank. Nope. You have to make a deposit that day! Example. My husband's check is direct deposited, and has been for years, on June 29 we had something go through, and of course we got charged with an overdraft fee, even though my husband's check showed up in our account THAT SAME DAY AFTER MIDNIGHT, and they could see that it was going to be there. It didn't matter to them. We got hit with that fee. It's worse than dealing with loan sharks. At least with loan sharks you know going in what to expect! U.S Banks are just bloodsuckers. My advice is to bank ANYWHERE ELSE!

We opened a small business with credit. Were told we could get an FFE Loan and then we used some credit and they said no dude loan as we used some credit and our small business is on the edge of BK because they charge us 30% interest and bank fees. Their practices should be illegal.

I've banked at US Bank or its predecessors for nearly 40 years. They have convenient locations around Omaha as well as plenty of ATMs. Also, they have ATM locations where I usually travel. They offer a great no-foreign transaction fee credit card. The people are always friendly and helpful.

We love the personal service that we get from the Idaho branch that we use. The LA branch is not so good. The manager seems to be the problem and makes us go through hoops every time we have to do something. It is a branch in LA but it is in an area where it is like a small town where everyone knows one another. We keep the account because of the Idaho branch and excellent online service.

They have long hours, including weekends. Their ATMs accept stacks of checks for deposit and they have online bill pay. Of course, like all banks today they give very low interest on your money.

I've never been happier with a bank. Every single individual I've had the pleasure to deal with, for whatever reason, whether in person, over the phone, or online has been extremely pleasant, knowledgeable, and more than willing, when needed, to go out of their way. I have a checking account which charges absolutely nothing as a "maintenance fee" each month, and, even though I had zero credit, I was given a credit card with a healthy charge limit, thereby then being able to establish a stellar credit rating.

The staff is always positive and are more than willing to make you feel appreciated for doing business with them. They go the extra mile to notify you of services that are no charge making it more convenient to do your banking.
