I have banked at US Bank for over 20 years. The interest rates are the best and the apps they have are state of the art. They have been great and customer service is the best!

I've had my account with US Bank since 1988 and have never had an issue or problem with my account. The customer service has been very good and I would not even hesitate to recommend the bank to anyone.

Great customer service. Managers and tellers always acknowledge you by name and are actually helpful in a culture of robots/you're just a number institute.

Trustworthy institution. Many branches all over the country which is good for ATM service. Our local branch has great people that we have a good rapport with.

My loan was sold to US Bank also. I have never been late, and always pay extra early and extra amount. I've had this loan sold to them for about 5 years, along the way there has always been issues trying to escrow and everything correct. I won't go into all of those mishaps. The most recent really irritated me because I have had my account to auto pay monthly. I set my auto to make more than the payment then we going to start bi- weekly payments starting the same time with being a full payment ahead starting the same day. I sent it all up through my checking auto pay account. I call US bank to inform and confirm my upcoming way of bi weekly payments. The gentlemen I spoke with told me that US Bank doesn't accept non-full payments.
I explain it's not non full, I'm a payment ahead and just deciding to start on bi-weekly. He says "well, if you'd let me finish", (uuugghh). They won't post payment until it is full. I respond I mean an extra payment ahead, the payment is in full and bi would be also with 2 weeks early. I had to just laugh and get off phone. I'm very unhappy with them and wished another company would buy out my home loan.

I've been a US Bank customer for 17 years. I went to the bank on 6/1/17 and applied for a home equity line of credit. I supplied all the information that was required and was told that the loan would take from 4 - 6 weeks to happen. They were suppose to get an appraisal on my home and have it back on 6/16/17, so I contacted the bank on 6/21 to find out how the appraisal went and where we were on the loan. Found out on 6/21 that the appraisal wasn't ordered so it was going to be up to 7/12 before the appraisal would be done. I had informed the bank on 6/21 that my builder was starting and I need to get this sorted as I need to be paying him.
I had an appraisal done 6 months and 15 days before that but they wouldn't use that because it was over 6 months. So, I kept asking the bank and phoning people to find out what we could do, because this was very upsetting to me and stressing me out. Then I get the news from the bank that they have to do a full appraisal which won't be done until July 19th. So, I've been trying to find money to pay the builder so I can keep him working. During this time, I've gone over the guy's head to his boss and told his boss that work has started on my house, and that I wasn't very happy with the service I was receiving. Also, the lady at my locate bank sent them an e-mail in June to tell them how upset I was and informed them that my builder has started work on my home. I continued to wait to get the call that I needed to go to the bank to sign the papers for my loan, except that didn't happen.
On 7/19/17 I get an e-mail that they will not give me the loan because construction had started on my home and they would give me the loan after the construction was completed. The amount of the loan I was requiring was over $60,000. I don't know where they thought I was going to get that kind of money to complete my construction because if I had that money, I wouldn't be getting a loan. SO, now I have my house with construction started and no loan. I'm at the point of a nervous breakdown at this point and US bank could care less. I went to a local bank in my town and they were happy to give me a loan within a week. So, now after 17 years of business with US Bank, I'm closing out all my accounts and moving them to a bank that cares. I just hope no one else has to deal with this kind of experience.

We applied for a Veteran's Home Loan on June 5, 2017. Unfortunately, nearly 2 months later, we still don't have the loan. The mortgage originator ran our credit and collected all required documents. She even ran a "mini" underwriting to be safe. We have never encountered the issues that came next. First, the processor contacted us to say that she would keep us up-to-date. Never happened. Then she lost several documents multiple times. She's still losing them today. We managed to get to underwriting the first time without issue. Then the processor became involved again. She lost documents again, multiple times. We were told repeatedly by the originator who stayed involved to make sure we went through that there were no issues. The processor never contacted us. We informed her repeatedly that she didn't correctly fill out the IRS transcript request.
Instead she sent it through three times and we wasted two weeks and passed our first closing date because she refused to communicate with us or the originator. At that point, we got management involved. Two to be exact. We were then promised that the situation would be corrected, we signed a new transcript request and were told that it would be rush ordered. Two days later, we find out that it wasn't submitted...let alone rush ordered...because, guess what, the processor is the same, incompetent, and unprofessional person as before. She lost the document again! How is this person still employed? Why do the managers lie? Why is everyone promising one thing while not delivering on any of it?
Managing customer expectations is a huge part of good customer service. If you tell me that there is nothing you can do and something will take X amount of time, then I'll be angry, but accept your word as truth. However, when I find out you lied and promised something that you cannot control nor complete, then I'm pissed off. We've now lost our contract, our deposit, and other out-of-pocket expenses due to their incompetence. This is our fourth mortgage loan and we've never had an issue closing before, but we never dealt with US Bank either. If I could give them a zero...I would. Good luck and God bless to any poor, unsuspecting fool who applies for a home loan with these people.

My account had switched over from Bank Of America and I had never missed a payment with them. When the account switched over to US Bank, I had requested an autopayment setup. The woman I spoke with was sending a form because I was not able to set up an online account. The form never arrived. I made the next payment over the phone and again asked for an autopay form. This one arrived, and I filled it out and sent it in. The next month I received a call from US Bank that my payment was late. When I called US Bank and talked to someone there they said the autopay form had not been entered. She also stated that the payment had not been logged as a credit issue. I paid again via phone and asked for another autopayment form. This form never arrived. I gave up on autopayment with US Bank and instead pay by phone every month.
I have made all the payments to US Bank as I do with everything else. Then I noticed a late payment on my credit report from US Bank from June 2016. When I called and talked to someone they agreed that it was a mistake and said send in a letter which I did. Checking my credit today, the late payment was still there. I called US Bank and talked to a rep who told me it was logged as correct with the credit bureau so apparently US Bank will not fix their mistake here. This problem was engineered by US Bank and should not rest on my shoulders. Shame on you US Bank. I've never been so misled or mistreated by a bank in my life. US Bank wishes to play ball. I am posting this on every media source I can to stay away from US Bank.

US Bank has been our Bank for the past 20 plus yrs. Today, July 21, 2017, I had the worst experience with customer service regarding info below: we use our debit card... it was declined due to a so called levy garnishment from a law firm named Gamache and Myers, unbeknownst to me. No common courtesy call from US Bank, no legal paperwork indicating we owed anyone. Long story short, the garnishment was fraudulent, and illegal, and US Bank charged a $100 fee for the illegal attempt to clean out our entire account.
US Bank has taken all day, and still hasn't allowed us access to our account knowing they were in the wrong (it is now 3:02 pm, Friday afternoon), due to our protest in them NOT refunding our $100. Even though our account will sooner, or later be unfrozen, due to illegal activity, the US Bank will keep our $100!! Needless to say I will never refer anyone to this Bank, and am researching a new Bank. We've been thinking, for several years, about moving to a different banking institution, now they've pushed us to do it.

I recently opened a US Bank Harley Davidson credit card. Through their own admission my personal information was compromised via their online services. That person then changed my account email address and billing address, and opened a checking acct at a US Bank somewhere in IL in my name and transferred money from the card to the checking account. At that point I requested that the information be changed back to what it was when I opened the acct. and please close everything in my name associated with US Bank, including the bogus checking account.
One week later I called to confirm my requests and none of them had been completed, in fact my last billing statement was actually mailed to the person who stole my information and changed my acct information. One month later, I received a letter today stating I was responsible for the cash transfer as I benefited from the transfer. How? Why? One of your reps admitted the information was obtained through your online services. I am now figuring out how to file a complaint with the BBB and at Consumerfinance.gov.

I received a Master Card from my grandfather when I was thirteen. I am fifteen now and very frugal when it comes to spending money. I will only buy something that I truly want. Recently I tried to make a purchase using my gift card and realized that the U.S. Bank had deducted twenty dollars off my card due to inactivity for twelve months or more. It is too bad that I did not notice the warning they put on the back. This frustrated me very much. My mom and dad taught me to save money. It is disappointing that I got punished for doing so. In the future I hope for a fairer banking system and my twenty dollars back!

I would like to share my experience with U.S. Bank ReliaCard with anyone that will listen. This card will steal your money. I return an item that I purchased from Amazon. Amazon returned my money to U.S. ReliaCard and U.S. ReliaCard did not give me my money. They actually made me file a dispute and now I have to wait 180 days for them to figure out if they're going to give me my money which is a refund from Amazon. I will not recommend sticking with this card at all as they will do anything they can to keep your money... Also had another experience where someone stole my bank card number. Not the actual physical card but just the number off of it. Also had to file another dispute for that. That took months and months to get my money back on that one.
This company will stick you in customer service hell. Have you been on hold 30 minutes at a time and then have a child answer your call that doesn't have any answers for you. The operators that answer your call at first are only trained to do very small things like check your bank account balance and reset your pin. If you need anything else more than just basic service you're going to wait for hours on hold for a supervisor that probably doesn't know anything either. Why would I have to file a dispute to get back my money the Amazon already refunded to ReliaCard? I gave them a transaction number and everything the young lady that I spoke to on the phone didn't know anything that she was doing. She had to ask a supervisor about everything placed me a hold about five times... Will I ever get my money back from ReliaCard. Time will only tell.

I opened my account on June 5, 2017, Ashley ** was the banker who opened the account. She never told me about a New Customer Hold On Check Deposited. On June 30, 2017 I deposited my payroll check with Ashley ** the check was from a large local business in Carson City. The payroll check was for $789,50, I took $100 in cash and deposited the balance of $689.50. After making the deposit I went to United Federal Credit Union to make my car payment of $303.35. I tried to use my debit card for the payment, but it was declined. I called Ashley by phone and asked her why was my debit card declining. She told me I had immediate use of $200 on the debit card and the balance would clear at midnight. So I wrote a check to pay my car payment after being assured by Ashley that all my funds would be credited after midnight of June 30th and available on July 1st.
On Monday July 3rd I checked my online account and saw that $489.50 was on hold and not available for use. I went to the bank and spoke with Luis a bank teller, who assured me that on July 5th all my funds would be available to me, because my account would be open for 30 days and the hold would drop off and that he would leave a message for Alexander ** to call me on the morning of July 5th to make sure there was not going to be any problem with my car payment check.
At 4:30 PM on July 5th, Alex ** called me and told me he decided to let my car payment check bounce, because my account was in the first 30 days. However, it seems pretty funny that according to the Manager I only had availability of $200 of the amount deposited, because my account was in the 30 days. However, I took $100 cash back from the deposit and still had the $200 available, which shows that Ashley had no idea about the 30 day hold on my account and that only $200 should have been available.
The bank's advertising literature and brochures promoting their bank account do not have any mention of the New Account Hold and I was never given any notice at the time of opening my account of the hold. Furthermore, when I requested all the forms I signed when opening my account Alex did not provide a form disclosing the New Account Hold and told me I would have to subpoena the records.
Under truth in advertising the brochures and literature they provide concerning bank checking accounts should have contained all the terms, including the New Account Terms and Holds of Deposits. None of the brochures they provide even mention the New Account Deposit Hold. which is misleading and lead me to believe I could deposit my check without worries. Naturally, if I had of been aware of the Hold I would have never paid my car payment with a check. I feel I have been taken advantage of with unnecessary NSF fees and additional fees to my payees for the checks bouncing. This has caused me embarrassment, stress and hurt my reputation in the Community. If I do not get satisfaction I will file a suit for actual damages and punitive damages too.

Have had my account for going on two years. The entire time my check was direct deposited at the exact same time I wrote out my rent check and dropped it off knowing my payroll would be going in in the morning. When I took out my account I signed a paper stating that I opted in to have all paper checks approved and I would face any overdraft fees.
In the middle of the night both my direct deposit and my rent check show up. They process the rent check and decline it then they deposit my direct deposit. I find this at 6 am call the customer service line speak to a customer service manager 'Romona' who is Honestly the best employee I've ran into at the company. She explains I need to go in to the branch where I opened my account, and I was there right after they opened at 9 am. Spoke to the assistant manager who said the manager was the only one who could handle this. He stated she was not there. He didn't know where she was and that she might not be in till 12 am.
Long story short by noon when they said it needed to be done she could not accomplish it. They charged me a fee along with the $100 my landlord charged me. The manager of this branch is uncaring and unprofessional at one of my visits asking for a discount on her personal furniture from my work. Needless to say I will be moving my accounts to a new bank. Save your time and energy go bank somewhere else!

This company, US BANK will not ask if you want to renew your membership. They will send you an invoice directly and charge you interests. Very bad practice and very tempted to get a lawyer involved. They will continue to charge you interest until you renew the card. They told me I should close the account in order to cancel this subscription. I think closing a credit card account is bad for the credit score and that is why I don't want to do it. Bottom line, unlike American Express who will send a letter asking the customer if they want to renew their card prior to billing you, US BANK charges you directly. I find that very very shady, hence my complaints. They bill you instead of asking you if you want to renew first, then charge you the fee + interests. Very bad practices and I hope actions will be taken against these unacceptable practices.

When I first signed up for this horrible service bank, I was told one thing, although my paperwork said another... Then, find out many over payments later was that they were charging me for an account I had not used yet and they never told what I had to do to change that until several bank visits and several phone calls. The branch manager said he would pay half of the charges when I should not have been charged at all considering what I was told when I opened this account. Now, they are not suppose to charge fees because I did what they said about opening a credit card and lo and behold, they are still charging me fees. I have to constantly call for them to stop and credit me.
This most recent episode was that they withdraw a certain amount claiming it was deposited in error (Unfortunately, I am having a memory issue and cannot remember my deposits). So they went ahead and withdraw it without any paperwork proof of the error. I had a branch assistant from the corporate office investigate and she found them to be correct in their decision (again no paperwork to proof any of this). Yet there is paperwork to proof the deposit. There was a deposit slip (why on earth would a rep write a deposit slip in error). Yet, she said in order for me to get that withdrawal back, I would have to give them proof of a check and/or cash... yet, they don't have to provide any proof of any kind withdraw the monies. Please advise!

I have my auto pay set to send checks for payment on the 1st of each month to coincide with incoming pay. When the pay comes in on a Saturday they delay till Monday and set check to pay on Friday sending the account into overdraft. Then on Saturday the account shows payment for the 3rd on and the check for the 30th. Just a way for them to get the account to overdraft and make them $35 plus any other overdrafts that it may cause. Ripple effect. Be wary of the scams they pull... Won't be my bank for much longer. In the process of finding someone new. They used to pull another similar scam of taking money before deposit showed again causing overdraft fees. Just a new method to their madness.

I have been a US Bank customer for over 20 years and recently I have been unemployed and unable to pay my bills as a result. I have had auto pay bills that somehow gone through and I was overcharged with overdraft fees and additional fees on top of that. When I got my tax refund from the federal government, they took half of the check and, as a result, when I tried paying my bills, checks were returned. During the month of May, I have had my checks electronically deposited and they took the entire check leaving me penniless so I couldn't pay my bills. Now they have closed my account saying that I had too many returned checks. They left me with no money so how could I pay my bills. This bank stinks and I will have nothing to do with it ever again. As far as I am concerned, they're thieves.

I have been with this bank for over 11 years, I am absolutely disgusted at the recent events that have transpired. First my atm card was shut down without my knowledge due to not having a chip, a new card was sent out to my address and was returned due to a bad address. This is ridiculous as my address has not changed! Then I go to deposit my payroll check on a Thursday, was told the funds would be available on Friday and then find out Friday evening there is a 7 day business hold on my funds, which would not be available till for another 10 days.
I called the Yuba City branch and spoke to assistant manager Candice **, who continued told me it wasn't her, it was "them" meaning the back office that put the hold. This is a total cop out of not taking responsibility for the company that she is a part of. There is is no us and them, US Bank is one entity. When I explained to her that she was a part of "them" she stated there was nothing she could do. There was no reasoning as to why the hold was placed, my account was fine and I have been paid by this employer for the past 8 months.
I called my employer, he confirmed with his bank that the payroll check cleared his account the following day after I deposited it. I called back the Yuba City Branch and requested to speak to the assistant manager. A teller named Estavan spoke with me. I ask to speak to Candice ** the assistant manager and was told that she is too busy to talk to me, I state that I will hold, she then tells him to tell me she won't speak with me, again she is too busy. The assistant manager refused to speak with me about a situation that she didn't want to deal with. I had just spoke with prior and was put on hold due to her being with another customer.
Now when I call back I am told that I cannot be put on hold and that she is just too busy to speak to me. I am disgusted by this and because of the extremely unhelpful and unprofessional actions of Assistant Manager Candice ** at the Yuba City branch, I have decided once the funds are available I am closing my account with this bank that I have supported for years. And to add to this, my family banks with US Bank and have all deiced to close their accounts and take their money elsewhere. Great customer service Assistant Manager Candice **, all my family's accounts are out the the Yuba City branch. We are all closing them due to your extremely unprofessional attitude.

I was recently charged an overdraft fee for a check I wrote. My account was in a positive on the 21st. I have screenshots of my account for the whole day. I made 4-5 purchases using my debit card on the 21st. No check was ever posted to my account on the 21st. On the 22nd, my paycheck was deposited. When I checked my transactions on the 22nd, it then showed that the check was posted to my account on the 21st. And I was then charged an overdraft fee.
This is not the first time this has happened at US Bank. The last time it happened they slid (posted) a check to my account before 5 debit card transactions and then charged me overdraft fees for all 5 transactions and for the check. When I inquired about their overdraft fees and limits I never got the same answer from branch to branch. When I called to speak to a senior banker, I was told "Check post to your account at 10:30 at night". That's funny cause I have a screen shot of my account at 10:41 PM ARIZONA, 12:41 PM CST.

On 6/2/17, My mom went into the bank to withdraw her money and pay her bills. Only to find out all of their funds had been swiped out due to fraud. My father was in the hospital in Intensive Care due to heart issues and just had emergency surgery. They wouldn't allow my mom to do anything to his account, but was able to inform them all of his funds were gone and there was no way that could of happen. My parents are on a fixed income, they only use their debit card to withdraw funds. They do not make any purchases or pay any bills, they withdraw their money and pay bills directly or get a money order.
As my dad sits in ICU, my mom is unable to sign any documents because no one was on his account. Once my dad was discharged and had enough strength I brought him to the bank to sign the necessary documents and add someone to the account. We were given a printout from Feb 2017 and you can clearly see only withdrawals were made.
On 5/23 a purchase from China was made, then several large purchases were made the next week back to back. They claim they have a fraud team, why is it they didn't pick that up?

Only $1500 or so was stolen. They informed my parents 10 days the money may be refunded. Why should they have to wait that long if the money was with your bank and became stolen? They should've at least issue them something and then if they found my parents were at fault, then take the money back. Basically what you are saying is that "it's okay for people to steal from you and we will refund your money when we are ready".

I deposited a check at a US Bank ATM and it was returned to us via mail a week later because it was made out to our business (same name). I called customer service and was told it was because the ATM couldn't resolve the information and to take the check to a branch office where it would be deposited. We did this and everything was fine.
Three weeks later I went into a different branch to deposit another check from the same company made out to our last name. This branch told me it was their policy not to deposit business checks unless I open a business account. I was not allowed to speak to the branch manager but an assistant assured me this was their policy. I mentioned the incident from 3 weeks prior and stated I spoke with customer service over the phone and was given different information. I was then accused of trying to shelter money from taxes, etc. I requested a call from customer service but have not yet received one. I experienced horrible customer service! I do not recommend banking with US Bank in any capacity. I was not treated as a valued customer of 20+ years. I share this information to warn others.

I've been a US Bank customer for almost a decade now and this bank has dramatically gone downhill. I seriously never leave reviews, but I was compelled to. They have the worst customer service dept. I work in a call center so I know the job isn't easy, but these employees aren't even trying. I got transferred 7 times to update my address. They blocked my cards because the zip code wasn't updated. I called 3 times over the course of a month just to update my address. My cards have been declined and blocked over 3 times now, and I have not once received a phone call.
Even my debit card was declined. I've had the same PIN for 10 years. It reached a point where I was at a gas station and all 3 cards were declined and the incompetent employees couldn't fix it. My car was empty and I nearly missed work. When you have a debit card and 2 credit cards this shouldn't happen ever. Today I made my final call to US Bank. As of today I'm a First Financial customer. I was polite, patient, and respectful when I called. The fraud protection employee insulted me, yelled at me, and hung up. I tried to take the survey, but she disconnected it so I couldn't.

In May, 2017 and June 2017 they took the money out 2 days early sending my account into arrears. When I tried to stop the payment and have the money taken out on the appointed date that I set they said "We do this so the check we send to your company will be on time". This is a new thing that they've started doing. It has all the ear marks of doing this to get extra fees. In addition to filing this report I have contacted my local and federal banking over site commissions and I'm trying to find a good law firm to start legal action against US Bank.

I got a letter last October from US Bank with a $200 promotional offer. I sat on it for over a month and finally decided to just open an account one night online. I set my account up for direct deposit as required for the promo a few weeks later. Until recently, I had completely forgot about the promo and checked to see if it had been applied. It's hadn't. Contacted US Bank regarding this. They said there is no record of this on my account and want a copy of the letter I received! I am actually shocked. I have an email confirmation from a US Bank rep that the promo code had been applied to my account (which I sent to them last week at their request). The email has the reps full name, date and also my promo code and for them to say they have no record? Shows the caliber of people/company we are dealing with.
They are trying to find any loophole they can to not honor what they said. I am closing my account whether they finally honor this promotional code or not. I guess they see they couldn't make money off me with overdrafts and fees, so don't care about my having my business. I really wonder if this promo deal is a way to lure customers in and see who they can make the most money off of with overdrafts. If they see you aren't a profit for them, they don't want your business. I won't do business with a company with worse ethics than those on Wall Street. I told some family members about my issues and they continually have issues with US Bank as well.
I wish I would have checked reviews and asked friends, family, coworkers, etc., if they had any opinions on this bank before proceeding with opening an account. Thankfully, I have kept my account open with my previous bank and will just switch my direct deposits back to them after my last few transactions clear with US Bank. After reading the reviews, I'm not going to close this account until I am 100% sure I have no other pending charges from my debit card coming through as I see they really like to play games when it comes to charges and overdraft fees. I am also filing a complaint with the BBB and have asked to be in contact with their legal department so I can pursue recourse for their blatant misinterpretation and unethical behavior.

About a month or two into my new U.S. bank account. I received an overdraft fee although when signing up for my account I specifically chose do not overdraft and also before I made the small purchase I called the bank and listen to my available balance and I had plenty but for some reason that transaction brought me into an overdraft. I want to add that when you called US Bank on the recording it stated the amount that we tell you is your available balance will always be your correct available balance and mine was $10. I made a $4 purchase. Now that I am in overdraft I'm informed that if I don't pay it within 7 days I will get another $35 charge so it keeps going up and up I'm on my third overdraft charge.
I go in to see the bank manager and explain my reasons why I should have never had an overdraft. Not only did I choose not to let my account overdraft but my available balance was more than what I charged. She just wasn't seeing my side of it and she decided that if I paid 1 $35 charge she would clear the other two out. I wish I would have never done it to this day because the following weekday I called the 800 number with my complain about the whole thing and I said, "I want it written down to not ever let my account overdraft. I don't care what the reason is do not let my account go into overdraft just reject it," and was informed that I should have never had to pay anything. It should have never happened so now they check and there is no record of me paying the $35 at all so what do you think happened to that money huh?
I think that poor excuse for a bank manager probably stuck in her own pocket. Recently US Bank just made my whole day hell because I had a temporary card I received my permanent card but I just didn't activate it. I was still using my temporary card and I did not know that all of a sudden they were going to shut it off. I guess you only have a certain amount of time on the temporary card and they don't let you know they're going to shut it off so here I'm stuck without no way to get any money because they never sent me the PIN to the new card. I'm chronically ill. I don't have a car. I have no way to get to the bank to fix it and they don't give a **. You think they might let you know, "You got 72 hours left on your temporary card or we're going to close it now."
My Amazon order is been rejected and several other bills that I paid and I need to repeat I am chronically ill so this is making my life so hard. This is the second time I've had a problem with a new debit card from them. U.s. bank doesn't care about anybody. They don't even really give you a good apology/ They're just like, "Oh well." And their employees don't know their job very well because they give you wrong information constantly, charge you for copies of your bank statement that you never received in the mail because they typed in the address wrong several times. I would call them and say no that is the wrong address to on the right address again and they'd still have the wrong address in there so I don't know who was getting my bank statements for like 6 months but that ain't cool.
I have never had to pay for a copy of a bank statement in any other bank. As soon as I can I'm changing Banks. Yeah did I mention that since that overdraft I've had it happen 2 or 3 times again? When I get a real threatening letter that says if I don't pay it in seven days blah blah blah and they're going to close my bank account on me when is their wrong not mine. I would not recommend them to anyone.

Refusing to Take Customer's Money - April 2017 through June 2017. I recently retired and from my retirement money I attempted to pay off my vehicle that was financed through U. S. Bank. I called in April 2017 and after being transferred 5 times ended up talking to the original person that I spoke to (Debbie). She advised that she was sending odometer documents that needed to filled out and said that I couldn't pay off my truck before then.
After 6 weeks I still hadn't received the documents and called them again and spoke to a person (DayQuan) and again was told that he couldn't take my money over the phone, wouldn't give information on a bank to bank wire transfer, or any other type of payment. While speaking to him on the phone I was attempting to pay the entire amount online, however, the payment amount was too high and would go through. I was told on this call that they sent the documents to me and that due to my address being a P.O. Box it wouldn't go through and was returned. They requested my physical address and I gave it to them but unless they sent it UPS or FedEx it wouldn't get to me due to the postal service doesn't deliver to my rural area.
DayQuan advised that the only way to pay for the vehicle was to have the documents sent to a physical address or faxed and I had to send a cashier's check to them as payment. 2 of the most un-secure ways to send mail and payments. I called my banker (USAA) and conducted a 3-way call with him and again spoke to DayQuan. My banker asked about doing a wire to wire transfer and DayQuan refused, he was asked about authorizing a one time phone payment and DayQuan refused, and I even attempted to open an account with U.S. Bank and then conduct a transfer and again DayQuan said that I couldn't do that. My banker was clearly at a loss for words and even said that he was refusing the most secure ways to transfer funds.
After hanging up on DayQuan we worked up a personal cashier's check secured by my bank and I paid extra to have the payment sent the next day and also had U.S. Bank sign for the check showing that it was received. My banker could only say that the reason U.S. Bank was being so difficult is that they wanted to drag out the payment so that they could get more interest.
I sent the payment to them and continued to expect the documents from U.S. Bank on the odometer reading. I received a call from my bank the next day and was told that they received the check and it was signed for. I called U.S. Bank and demanded that within the next 10 business days to send me my title for the vehicle. I instructed them that the odometer document was their problem and they could either find a way to mail it to me, send it UPS or FedEx, or drive it to me themselves, I didn't care but it was their problem.
Two days later I received a call from Mary (wouldn't give her last name) stating she was a manager and said that I needed to sign the documents. I advised her of the previous calls and issues with getting the forms and she said that the forms could be sent to a P.O. Box and basically said that the other 2 idiots I was talking to over the last 6 weeks flat out lied to me over the phone. She stated and confirmed that payment was received but the title couldn't be sent until the odometer documents were signed and received by them then they could send the title. I asked her about sending the documents again so I could fill them out and she said that she was sending them again.
On June 1st, 2017 I received the documents in the mail at the P.O. Box and completed them. I observed that the documents were not even notarized forms and didn't have to be notarized by anyone. The information could have been handled over the phone or at a later time and apparently was being used to prolong the payoff process for customers. As of June 2nd, 2017 I haven't heard anything from the business and the forms were sent back to the business on this date.
With today's world I understand the suspicion of people trying to do something that isn't normally done. But after confirming my security U.S. Bank continued to not take payment. This can't be the only way to pay off a vehicle today. With the number of deadbeats that don't pay for the things that they finance I still can't wrap my head around a company that would take money from a customer that didn't miss one payment and was never late with a payment in over 3 years.
I still have a business review to do but I'm holding off for a final determination and I want to receive my title. I got a feeling that U.S. Bank will hold up the title for some stupid reason just to make things difficult for me. If I don't receive the title by the middle of June I have kept copies, names and recordings of the people that I've talked to and plan a social media explosion on the business. By the way if you call me in Texas and tell me that the conversation is recorded I'm not required to tell them anything and can record them for the same reason.
Anyone that has anything accounts with U.S. Bank do whatever you have to do to pay it off and do away with these idiots. Don't do business with them and through reviews and social media show that the little person has a voice and can make a difference. If the customer service improves then we've done a good job in holding a bigger company responsible for poor customer service, flat out lying to a customer, and trying to force a good customer in paying more than they have to.

"They would put his loan into default if I didn't pay it". I told them I would pay it as soon as I was legally able to (which again was 3 weeks). They told me that they "didn't know how much longer they could wait," which is clearly b.s. They have a computer screen telling them exactly how long until they file for "default." Basically DO NOT TAKE A LOAN WITH US BANK, if you die during the term of the loan your family will have to deal with a bunch of jerks that you ALWAYS paid on time.

I've exclusively used the mobile banking app. Recently, I was charged $277 in overdraft fees over a 30 day period because of several changes that US Bank voluntarily made to my account: Cancelled my overdraft protection account; Cancelled my credit card overdraft protection; Changed my mobile deposit limit to $1500 (it was $2500 prior for many years and I frequently deposited checks for $2500).
I had called in months before on this account to have it closed and was told I needed to go into a branch location to do so (that was a lie). On the weekend all of the fees were charged for the overdraft, I attempted to deposit a check for $2000 which would have been more than enough to cure any overdrafts. The deposit got rejected because it exceeded the new limit I was unaware of. I called into customer service to have a manager review the overdraft fees and he refused to refund any of them. I informed him that they were stealing from me by changing all of the products on my account making it impossible to cure the overdraft (by regular protection first and by the deposit maximum change second). I used to rave about US BANK. Terrible now. They're thiefs!

I sold a house in Texas and planned to buy one in Iowa. I chose US Bank and failed to read the reviews before I made this choice. The application process is the most stressful and accusatory process I have ever gone through. I bought a house before and put zero down and had very little money to my name, and the process was very smooth. This time, I have a little bit of money to use as a down payment.
Apparently the loan processing fees are used to make their employees work their hardest to accuse the potential customer of money laundering or borrowing money to use as a down payment. I have been asked to 'explain' numerous deposits which it was clear where the deposit came from as it was printed on my bank statements. Part of the application is a declaration that you didn't borrow any money to use for the mortgage, and I signed that, but they still assume you're a criminal or liar. I've never been audited by the IRS, but I imagine it feels about the same.
Not a big deal if they started wanting this proof that I'm not a criminal early in the process, but they wait till the week of closing to make an issue. Better get a copy of your insurance binder too, you'll have to send that to US Bank at least 3-4 times during the process (guess it gets lost?). I dealt with Bank of America for over 2 years and it wasn't near as retarded as this process, and Bank of America is a real pain to deal with. Please save yourself from buying a bottle of ** and shop around before deciding to use US Bank for a mortgage.

I opened an account with US Bank after having to switch my account with them. While I heard horror stories I never thought they would be as bad as people say. Upon opening my account I deposited a check in the bank and the money didn't transfer properly. They assessed me a 36.00 fee. My account was negative 1.88 cents. They didn't take money from my savings to compensate the negative. They charged me 2 36.00 dollar fees. When I asked why was I charged they advised me because the account was negative. When I asked why didn't they take it from my savings they advised I didn't have that option set up. I went into a branch, showed the branch manager I had that service setup and was advised there was nothing they could do to waive the fees.
I became proactive after that charge so I took screenshots of my online banking transactions and transfers, deposits, withdrawals etc... I started to notice debits being cleared 5-7 business days later, dates of my transactions changed from the original date and when I asked why does it take 5-7 days for a debit to clear I was advised it depends on the merchants system. When asked how long credits cleared I was advised they take 3-5 business days. Then I notice my deposits would take days to clear, creating a negative balance in my account on purpose so that when the check or payment cleared I would have a negative balance owed. With money in my account I received a fee's. Then I noticed I was being charged an account fee of around 8 dollars which they were waiving but was advised they couldn't waive any other fees.
When asked why was I assessed the fee when I had money in my account I was advised there was no money in there at that time. Again upon going into the branch to speak with a branch manager, I was advised he was, as I sat and watched him sit at his desk in front of his computer through the clear glass, I asked doesn't the customer come first. I was told he was busy that he would call me regarding my account. After not receiving a call, after 5 days later I received a voicemail from the branch manager. After playing phone tag with the manager for a couple of days. I called US Bank and spoke with a customer service rep. whom advised me that they couldn't waive any fees. She acknowledged that something wasn't right and I advised that I could send the screen prints to her.
After I got off the phone with her I noticed my account dates had changed again. Some of the payments reflected the dates I provided her over the phone and when I tried to take a screen print of my account it said merchant meaning US Bank does not allow those actions. So they blocked me from taking screen prints on my phone, so I took a picture with another phone of the message that displayed on the US Bank transaction screen saying I was blocked. When I finally spoke to the manager I was advised that this seems like something I keep doing to my account. He didn't ask me to come in the branch. He didn't want to see the screen prints and he advised me the amount owed was the amount I owed. I advised him that they need to really check the banking laws because they are doing something very illegal.
I have never known a bank to just charge people fees just because, change people transactions on their account. I have never known debits to clear in 5-7 business days because of a merchant system and I have never known for a bank to block you from taking screenshots of your account history.

US Bank has no regards to their long term bankers, not to mention that they lack the appropriate customer service skills when addressing any problems, especially the ones that occur on their end. They do not go out of their way to assist you with your inquiries and when they make error, they basically tell you there's nothing they can do. For example, my husband and I have been a customer of US Bank for years. They have never come through for us when we've needed them to despite the fact that they have full access to our accounts and clearly see that we have always been in great standing. Despite all of the issues we have had with both US Bank and their staff over time, the most recent problem that my husband and I have encountered will result in our taking our money and investments elsewhere.
My husband went to the local branch in our area yesterday (one that we go to on a regular) to withdraw 500.00 out of the ATM. When making the transaction, the ATM said complete, however it failed to dispense the money. He then called to check his balance to confirm if this was just a simple error. The available balance reflected that the 500.00 had been subtracted from his account. He immediately went inside to advise the teller that he withdrew 500.00 from the ATM and it did not give him his money. Her direct response was "Why did you use the ATM when the lobby was open?" My husband then reminded her that he has the right to use the ATM regardless if the lobby was open or not. Her next response that There was nothing they could do for him and that he will need to call the 800 number listed on the back of his card.
She then told him to check his balance the following morning as it may correct the error when the system reboots overnight. He went ahead and withdrew an additional 500.00 to compensate for the money that he didn't receive from the ATM. When calling to check his balance the next morning, it was not corrected and still reflected the incorrect available balance. When he followed up with the 800 # (which the wait time was ridiculous) he was told that it would take 7-10 business days to receive. This, to me is absurd. My husband and I work very hard for our money and should have access to it when needed. It certainly did not take 7-10 days for them to make the error, yet our funds are placed on hold until they fix the problem that they caused.
As loyal, long term customers, we, nor anyone else, should be restricted of what's rightfully theirs, especially for a mistake that was made on the bank's behalf. This situation has shown me clearly that my husband and I are trusting the wrong company with our money and investments. As a result of this situation, along with various other along the way, we will be closing our accounts and dealings with US Bank.

After a couple weeks I go to deposit a paycheck and find out that I owed 375.00. There can't be any other bank that is this savage with late fees. If your banking is impeccable you might say "oh what a great bank" like you would anywhere else, but if you are like me and have the slightest mishaps occasionally this bank will take advantage of you.

He assured me that it was taken care of and if there were any payments and not sufficient funds the money wouldn't be able to leave the account. Coming from a country where checks have been absolute since 1990's, I've been thought about the above statement being a lie. It appears that checks still can be written off of your account and when it gets bounced they charge you a lovely $36 overdraft fee.
On top of that, some of my auto payments have been moved a couple of days earlier and caused me to hit overdraft again. US Bank there is a reason I put auto payments on certain days! Not so you can screw me over and steal my hard earned money because you guys are thieves! We went to US Bank as well to get our mortgage for our new home. Another mistake I made!

I supplied all requested documents almost immediately and then couldn't get any communication from them for about a month until they sent me incorrect documents and I got the local bankers involved. They did a drive by appraisal so it didn't include the house in the value, and that messed up the numbers, which they refused to fix during the rest of the process until the very end.
They assigned an appraiser and then told me that I could not refuse the appraiser but that there would be an appeal process if I felt that there were problems with the appraisal. However, they refused to send me a copy of the appraisal until after the closing was already scheduled and it was sent on the weekend with closing at 8:30 Monday morning. I still have not received the appeal process information from them. As we neared the end, they started asking for documents that they had been in possession of for at least a month and I kept referring them to the email containing her documents. They complained that I needed to send them in a different format because they work in a paperless office so they wanted me to do the work for them. I referred them to their IT support at that point.
The loan funding did not come available to me until a full calendar week after closing (no holidays) and the items that they showed had been paid off were not paid off. The receiving banks told me that they had no records of any initiated electronic payments as of a full week after we signed the documents, however US Bank shows them as disbursed funds and I'm sure they are charging me interest on them. We were told at closing that we did not get a signed copy of the documents. I requested the signed copy documents but have not received them and was told it could take up to 4 weeks from closing.
The bank sent checks for other bank payoffs to me after closing without ever discussing with me that they expected me to provide the mail or courier services to process their checks with those banks. When I attempted to do so, I was told that the bank thought it was a fraudulent check and I had to go through their fraud process. US Bank won't address my questions or provide me with the appropriate contact person in their organization to address the issue with. I couldn't ever recommend US Bank to anyone that I like. They were incompetent at best, and dishonest at worst.

Recently they have been trying to charge me with $30 late fee despite I pay in on time and all the time they bring up the Easter/Central time problems. I never had this problem before, they are just trying to rip the money off people. How come they can post the late fee before processing my on time payment. Customer service person was very rude to me and he said it takes a day to get the payment posted, are you kidding me!! You can post the late fee in the middle of night but can't process my payment and wait for charge me money. I am changing my bank and will never do business with US Bank.

I setup 'Pay a Person' to send my landlord the rent and she uses it to send me money to pay for repairs. I send her an instant payment; she gets the payment and it is deposited to her account, at a different bank, within minutes. She sends me money for a plumber this weekend-Sunday, and here it is Tuesday and I still don't have the payment, or anything in my account to suggest it is pending. It was sent from an instant payment system. And US Bank has an instant system but they hold the funds. This has also happened with payments made to me from wire transfer-over three days.
I also spoke to a bank teller a few months ago and she was so arrogant to me; I was taken back at first and just let it slide as immaturity on her part. Then I decided she needed to be told by her superior that it is not appropriate to speak to people that way. Her manager also spoke to me that way and sat in the chair as if he was at a party with his friends talking about women. I am a hippy looking person, and even I am saying, he was not appropriate in dress or attitude. I have had encounters at this branch that are very disconcerting. So I usually go to another branch where they are nice. However, I feel the branches are not effective. They seem to have no real power, and their words are reflective of memorized speech.
I am not a happy customer and yes, I will be moving my accounts. Which are a business and a personal account. I am rebuilding my life after the crash of 2008 so I am not cash rich and I do feel all banks are thieves; however, I am finding US Bank to be malicious with their technology and online practices. I am a very technical individual both professionally and personally and I feel that they are yes, stealing people's money for a period of time and do not practice accountability. When I heard they were voted most ethical - I realized ethical is a word that is misused by marketing and promoters. They are far from ethical and they need to be investigated for their practices regarding holding funds and online manipulation of data, which I believe is for their own benefit.
This is my professional and personal opinion. And I do intend to make sure that this happens. I have really had enough of this. When you are struggling and need the bank to work with you, you realize that they are your enemy and not a partner with you. By the way both the teller and the manager were 1/3 of my age and behaved so arrogantly that I just stood there with my mouth dropped with disbelief. I make all of my deposits and transactions at another branch if at all possible because I dislike the branch that much. Very unhappy!

I will never lease a vehicle or do any type of business with US Bank again. They are extremely unorganized and do not keep records or previous calls or transactions. My experience started when they charged me for a month after my lease had termed, granted the car was turned into a dealer 15 days before the lease had ended. Still, I get charged. Now they are stating that the vehicle was turned in 20 days later than the actual turn in date. Basically trying to grant a reason to keep the extra payment. They refuse to work with the dealership and cannot get this resolved after months of back and forth with me. Now they are requiring me to prove when the car was turned in.
On top of that I get sent a bill for excess wear and tear which is sketchy to begin with. And then the bill coincidentally is $2 different than my extra December payment that was taken. I call up to refute the bill and they advise me that the bill isn't final. So I get another one 3 weeks later that is $50 higher than the original. Now I'm really upset. After numerous calls, I receive another bill that has $40 removed. I call today to just wipe out the balance and they refuse to believe that I turned in the car so they expect another $420 from me. I ask to speak to a manager and was advised that none would be available for 24-48 hours. What a joke of a company. I will never do business with them again under any circumstances.

I have had my accounts with US Bank for the last 17 years (my local bank was taken over by them and since I was already there, I stayed). Only within the last couple of years did I decide to take up a CC with US Bank, I figured it would come in handy for use with certain things like car repairs or items of immediate need and other like needs of that nature.
I make the payments every month on time on the due date, through my online access. However US Bank's software is the most ignorant and ill designed mess ever, as it posts any payment after 6PM or on Saturday or Sunday on the next business day. This is inconvenient as you can imagine. Hey US Bank, the internet is 24/7/365. My life is not on your schedule, when I make a payment on my CC account then you had better damn well accept it at the time of payment! Every other CC account that I have had accepts my payment up until midnight of the due date, and doesn't ding me with a late fee!
You take my money then ding me with a late fee even though I have done my part and made my payment on the due date before 6PM cut off time. If the due date is on a Sunday, then don't ding me with late fees for it processing/posting on Monday, same for Saturdays not posting until Monday. YOU ACT AS THOUGH YOU DON'T WANT MY MONEY, AND THEN YOU CHARGE ME FOR GIVING IT TO YOU WHEN YOU WANT IT!!!
These late fees have accrued to my account over the last two months and caused my minimum payment to climb. This is outright theft as I am doing my part, but US Bank can't get their act together and get a database/software that recognizes that their users and customers live in a 21st Century world and that means 24/7/365 access and service with no penalties! I can't be the only customer that this happens to and I would like to see them punished with another class action lawsuit for improperly delaying service and reaping undue benefits. This is no different from their improper charging of overdrafts, which they got dinged for as well. Funny that I just saw a standee in their lobby that espoused them as being "voted the most ethical bank of 2016" HAHAHA! Where did they get that from, and who voted, their BoD?

They said that their system had done a review and had lowered my credit limit by $1000, therefore the large payment that I had made was no longer available to me. When I explained that I would not have paid that large of the payment if I would've known this they said they would refund it to me.
After a week of no activity in my account showing that this was being done I called. They said it had been rejected due to the fact that they lowered my limit they could no longer refund me because then it would be over my limit. Had their system not lowered my limit in the first place I would've never been even close to my limit. This company is a rip off and a fraud and I am closing my account and want nothing to do with them.

First... I would like to say that I am VERY good with money. I understand finance, investing and business concepts extremely well and have always been able to take a little and grow it. I am extremely frugal and track my finances every day and spend a good 4-5 hours a week on my finances. Now... Stay away from this bank. You cannot budget or track expenses with them. It can take up to a week and a half for expenses, deposits and transactions to go through and it's NOT consistent even when the expenses or deposits are routine and are coming from the same companies in your banking profile.
I have automatic deposits set up for an external savings account that are supposed to post every Thursday. Unfortunately, sometimes they go through 4 days later and sometimes over a week later. Nothing is consistent so you cannot track your finances. I started out by making a note that these particular transactions post every 5 days, but that's not always the case.
UNREADABLE BANK STATEMENTS. Their bank statements are unreadable. Sometimes someone will think that I'm crazy so I show them an online statement and they can't make sense of it. We'll comb through it together and we can never come to a conclusion about anything other than this bank sucks. It makes it impossible to sit down and have a discussion with a banker from U.S. Bank, because you get the feeling that they can't even decipher the statements and they start sounding like they are just pulling info out of their **.
AS THE CUSTOMER YOU ARE ALWAYS WRONG. They are extremely arrogant. You are always in the wrong as the customer when talking to them. Ex: I opened my account when I was about 19 and before they were doing online banking of any kind. I happened to overdraft my account by a few dollars that Christmas; which was totally my fault I take responsibility for that. However... Over the course of Christmas they charged me $36 per day for 3 days in overdraft fees. I could not make any deposits, because they were closed the entire time for the holidays and remember there was no online banking for them yet.
I went in once they were opened thinking they would meet me halfway, because it was impossible to take care of my account since they were closed during this time. They wouldn't budge and I asked if they could reduce the fee any. I'll never forget - the amount was about $100 and $0.25. They told me they could "give me my quarter back". That is absolutely asinine. So they did have the ability to work with me, but wouldn't! I should have dropped them right then and there, because it's been a headache ever since.
TERRIBLE APPLICATIONS. Their online banking is insecure. I've been able to login to my account numerous times purposely using a slightly different password to test their security. In specific, not capitalizing certain alphabetical characters to see what would happen and they STILL let me in. Their rotating security questions are useless, because they ask you the same one every time, despite the fact they ask you to choose several when you first sign up.
Half the time their website breaks where content won't display or just won't load and it looks like it's from the mid 2000s. That's actually pretty accurate, because I've never seen the website get a facelift or be improved. Their app is far from being in real time or timely at all and is pointless and many times it's been so buggy that it will just close. Speaking of which...
I'M CLOSING MY ACCOUNT TODAY. I was recently over-drafted. I talked to a representative today over the phone about piling overdraft fees. The day my account was over-drafted I immediately transferred money over from my Chase account to take care of the problem. Unfortunately I have not been able to get to a U.S. branch (and good luck finding one outside of a major city), because I've been working non-stop. I understand that this is my problem and no one elses. However, it's taken almost a week for the transfer to go through. It's impossible to be responsible with this company, because they're a mess.
I talked to a representative over the phone and asked her how it was possible that every time I tried to use my debit card it was declined, day-after-day, but they allowed for one $7 transaction to go through during all of this. When this went through I naturally thought that my payment had posted to cover the over-draft. Not true and even when my card was being declined (as it should) they allowed a transaction to go through. And according to my bank statement, they didn't charge me $36 per day, day-by-day, but dropped them all on me on one, single day. She actually said "we did you a favor". What arrogance and what does that even mean?
So I said... "well can you at least work with me here like other banks do and take away at least 1 of the fees" and she said "no" and I said "well I guess I will be closing my account then." And then there was this long pause and I said "wait, you're actually going to lose a customer over this?". I asked her "why do you even have online banking if the essential functions don't even work?" and told her that "Chase gives new customers $200 just for opening an account and you guys can't even work with me on this".
And that's it! Poor technology. Terrible security. Complicated statements designed to confuse you so they can sneak money from your account. And that's honestly what they do (it's happened to me at least 10 times now). And when you talk to them you can tell that they are burned out and don't care. You know how nasty the people at the BMV are? That's exactly what this is like.
To date they have stolen probably around $300 from me, because of their errors and they never budge. It is seriously a bank that should be investigated and prosecuted and it's amazing that they are still around, because I bet you they lose several thousand customers a day... and I'm one of them. Read the review folks! 1 star from so many people! And you'll hear stories from many intelligent people talking about how they've had money essentially stolen from them. This a common theme. I was stupid to have not switched banks longer ago. So don't do this to yourself!!!

US Bank is by far the WORST bank I have ever dealt with. I set up an automatic payment with Comcast to withdrawal from my US Bank card. Woke up to my service disconnected. Made a manual payment for Comcast online – figuring the ACH failed. Hours later service is still disconnected. Called Comcast and they said the payments were BOTH made but were pending. Went onto my app and it showed US Bank was holding those funds for 10 days. 10! A total of $320. US Bank said they can't do anything and I have to wait for the hold to expire... in 10 days. So all of my money is gone. My grocery money for the month and the money I was saving to go out with my boyfriend for Valentine's Day. Also my cable and internet will remain disconnected until those payments clear in 10 days.
US Bank has put me in a super embarrassing situation. I also know when they reverse those payments they will have a hold on them until they are credited back to me. So I'm literally broke until I get paid again in 10 days and I won't see those particular funds for another 15 days or longer! I am breaking up with US Bank as soon as I can and going to Chase.

US BANK is only good if you have a physical branch to attend to your issues. If you do not, then you are seriously S.O.L. They make promises they can't keep when it comes to mailing a physical check to people and/or business. You jump through all the hoops and fill out all the information online and select send. They give you the date of arrival and even give you a GUARANTEE! <----- read the fine print. This "guarantee" only affects people who are penalized with late fees when the check arrives late. It does not qualify towards people sending checks to themselves or to others. I had to send my check to myself TWICE since I do not have a local bank and destroyed my Debit and Credit card to prevent overspending. So this was my option to rely on the USPS.
They give you a date it is supposed to arrive. If it does not arrive they tell you to wait longer before making the decision to cancel the current check and send out another one. They blame the USPS because "They might arrive early, they might arrive late. We have no control over that." <----- this was their "solution" to my frustration. They have no way of tracking anything they send out unless it is next day air. There is not an override option for this over the phone or online to my understanding. Since this has happened to me TWICE you would think they would be more accommodating. They are not and usually are not. US BANK has one of the WORST reviews as a bank online. Their slogan "All of US serving you" is complete bs and once my Credit Card is paid off I will keep that account open, but will no longer do business with them. That is a promise.

While my husband and I are not opposed to taking over the loan we decided not to and to just keep paying off the loan as it was only $614 a month. At the time we were both active duty military and he was retiring in August and me shortly after. We provided US Bank again with all the required documentation and even sent it registered mail to ensure that we have documentation that they did indeed receive it.
All was well until October of this past year when we received a rather large mortgage bill for $300 over what the bill should have been. We paid it dutifully as we assumed it was a balloon payment of some sort. Then November's bill came it was the same amount. Calls went out to US Bank. Initially they refused to speak with my husband or I as we are not listed on the Disclosure Agreement. Baffled by this I asked who was and they insisted on speaking with my father-in-law. We proceeded to explain to them that he had passed away and that on three separate occasions registered mail had arrived and given them notification that we were indeed the legal owners of the home.
Finally after some extreme head banging we were able to get someone to listen to reason and they at least talked to my husband. They stated that the insurance had lapsed on the home and that US Bank had opened up an escrow account to cover not only insurance but also property taxes. When asked why we were not contacted prior to this happening as my father-in-law had passed away they tried again to state that they had no knowledge of this and that they needed to protect their interest in the home. We provided them with documents to show that we did indeed have homeowner's insurance and that we did indeed pay the property taxes for the home. However here we are in January of 2017 and still we have no resolution and they are still calling and asking for my deceased father-in-law. This company has no compassion and no ethics. I would not recommend this to anyone.

On Friday January 6th, I was notified by text that someone had changed my online banking password. I called Customer service. They informed me that someone had logged into my account and transferred 16,000 points out of my account. This may sound like an easy call. I was on the phone for 1 hour and 45 minutes and transferred back and forth to departments EIGHT TIMES. In the end, they apologized and said they will overnight the card and I will have it by Tuesday. Tuesday arrives - NO CARD. I call Customer service, they apologize but the person DID NOT overnight it, but sent it 7-10 business days. And then they tell me "points were added to your account by a hacker, not taken." REALLY. Who does one believe? So now I have 16,000 less points than what they told me Friday. They apologize AGAIN, and say they will overnight a card, AGAIN, and swear it will be here Thursday.
It's Thursday, January 12 - NO CARD AGAIN! I call Customer service AGAIN. After being transferred only twice, I am told that there was a processing error and NO CARD WAS SENT. THIS IS CRAZY. I have been lied to so many times now I don't believe a word they say. He tells me he will overnight a card to me and it will be here by Saturday - yards, right! I heard that one before.

First of all last year 2016 when I travel to Hawaii all my things were stolen including my wallet and everything. I had no ID so I couldn't get any money. I survived on the streets and basically on my way back and answered questions to get on the airplane. The point is with US Bank no id means no money. Here in what I will call my home branch in Portland Oregon at 7200 Northeast Sandy Boulevard I did ask if you could get money if you didn't have an ID and the branch manager said that I could if I answered questions properly. So on and on and lo and behold a couple days ago I lost my wallet. Herein lies the hassle. First I called the credit card department which then I actually got the customer service department and had to wait twice as long on the phone because the automated system doesn't work. SO after holding and hassling back to the credit card department I put a temporary hold on my cards.
Today I went to the doctor and then I wanted to get some money to go get gas in my car etcetera, so I went to the closest u.s. bank and with the same thought that the branch manager said I can get money with no id if I can answer questions. Well I answered questions just fine I thought and I actually even had a piece of Quasi ID with a picture on it. The condescending manager at Southeast 122nd Avenue just south of Powell at the Safeway in a condescending manner said that I missed two questions or they weren't adequate answers and so I couldn't get my money. She said I needed id. It is lost, costs approx 75 dollars.
My bank account has more than $20,000 in it. But I won't be able to touch any of my money until I have that ID so I had to call my boss who has pneumonia and he's going to help me tomorrow and give me the cash to go through this. At this point I am serious and I will be closing my account with US Bank after 22 years and I never want to hear anything from them again in my entire life. One more Corporation with lousy customer service. Look out folks.
Updated on 01/11/2017: I decided after writing my first review that I would call the branch manager over at South East 200 and 22nd Avenue. Her name is **. When I got to speak to her I told her that I had gone way over her head and that how I had flown on an airplane Alaska Airlines without an ID and I do know the answers but I've been in a car wreck and my memory was not sharp as a tack lately. And she explained again that they wouldn't give me the money that I failed and as I said "I guess I got angry and I expressed that clearly" and you know I said about how her glamorous looks don't make the banker and then she just rudely hung up on me. If that is the thin skin a banker these days then I think they shouldn't be a banker. The point that I am making here is that I didn't fail the bank but the bank failed me. That is why I am moving on. That is my plan with US Bank. Getting out, closing my account.

US Bank currently handles my mortgage. I'm a customer that ALWAYS pay my bills early or on time (before the 1st) and NEVER miss a payment, but US Bank seems to have used their system to where I accrue late charges every month. I changed Mortgage insurances from Geico to Allstate (who was cheaper) which caused my overall Mortgage to lower. I was quoted the new amount by the representative on the phone and sent in that amount before the statement was processed and mailed to me. US Bank told me that because the amount wasn't exactly the same that the representative quoted, that my check was held and suspended because it was a few dollars off from what the printed bill amount would be.
When I mailed another payment in for the next month, US Bank added both checks together to the new printed amount on the statement, used the balance from 2 month checks to put in my principal, charged me a late fee and now makes me late from my month to month payments every month. So now I've gone from paying my mortgage early to trying to beat a $44.51 on the 16th of every month. I've spoken to managers and supervisors and have not had the issue resolved.
I also sent US Bank the insurance refund check from Geico (which was a different amount from my mortgage) and asked that it be put in my escrow so I do not owe, US Bank applied it to my principal instead. I had to call them and have them correct that as well! I feel that this bank put set me up to where they can try to get away with late charges from me every month. I'm talking with my credit union tomorrow to possibly refinance with them. Please do not use US Bank as your lender. I am a very unhappy customer dealing with this headache.

I was first told I had to wait 3-7 days for the funds to be released. 7 days later the merchant and myself called them back and they told the merchant they had to release the funds which they told them they had. US Bank told me on day 10 the funds would release. Day 10 I called back because the funds were still not there. They then told me it would be 20 days. This all started on December 16th.

When inquired 2 different bankers at the same branch gave me 2 different amounts for the service charges for that particular service. One of them was definitely lying. The staff and the branch manager are not properly trained. When I complained about that, the branch manager promised to waive some part of that charges. But later refused because I lodged a complaint about the charges and the bad service at the branch. He took it personal and he would not waive the fee he promised that he would. He lied to me and he cheated by not keeping his promise.
Funny part is when I complained to the regional office, it goes to the branch manager on whose bad customer service I have the complaint against. He says, "You should have read the laws when you opened an account with our bank that there will be a charge for service". Because the previous Branch Manager and one of the bankers who worked there, were excellent and had excellent customer service skills. I brought in all my family members, contractors and employees to this bank without asking for any referral fee or incentive. Now they treat me like this. Very bad customer service. They lie, they cheat. No one at the bank can be held accountable for their words, actions or service. Stay away from US Bank.

I am not a US Bank customer. I am a homeowner who rents my Missouri property out to a tenant and she (the tenant) banks with US Bank. I live in Arizona so it's already fairly difficult to get paid by her in that regard, but it's even harder when my tenant writes a check to me and the local US Bank branch telling me that the check is non-negotiable and they can't tell me why, due to customer privacy issues. They were rude and treating me as if I were trying to commit fraud, even though all I was doing was trying to collect the money which was owed to me by their customer. They tell me to contact my tenant and have her call them to verify some info (that info I'm unaware of). So I call my tenant and she tells me that not only is there no problem, but that she called the local branch I was at, as well as their 1-800 24 hour customer service number.
She swears there is no issue with her account and advises me to go back the next day to cash the check she wrote me. I insist that I called my tenant (as they instructed me to do) and that she called to speak with someone at the branch and the 1-800 phone number. My tenant even knew the employees names at the local branch, so I'm positive that she called them. The manager then proceeded to get major attitude with me saying "How many times do I have to tell you, this is a non-negotiable check."
I was fairly irate at this point and the situation escalated into verbal warfare. Never in my life have I had to deal with something like this and not even know why it was happening in the first place. Then they won't even fix the problem after their customer calls them to try and remedy the supposed issue. These guys are highly unprofessional and I would recommend to stay away from them at all costs, even as noncustomers. They promote a culture of bad attitude and self serving behavior. By the way, this particular branch was located at 3450 W Bell Rd. Phoenix, AZ 85053.

I am totally disgusted with this so-called "bank." Their on-site atm took $430.00 of my money. It ate the cash, said "machine error," and so I went into the bank. The banker was very nice but told me I was the second person to report this issue in the same morning, and they could file a claim, but then told me I would have to wait for up to 10 business days to get a refund. He explained that they only service it once a week, and the tech is not scheduled to come out until the mid or latter part of next week. He told me that this atm, which was moved from one side of the lot to the other, has always had issues, but was too "costly" to replace.
First of all, if a machine is ripping folks off, replace it, as 80k to a wealthy bank is much less serious than average Americans losing hundreds of dollars. Secondly, if several folks complain THE SAME DAY, a tech should be sent out IMMEDIATELY, or at least the next business day. I called customer service and spoke to Brittany, who was a sweetheart. She transferred me to Serena, who was extremely rude, and said she would call the techs Monday, but said "I'm not gonna call you back for a status update on the tech." Finally, why was no out of order sign on the machine, warning folks not to make transactions? Serena said it is because they have to have a tech verify it's not working.
I guess US bank feels that because there are dishonest folks out there. We are all lying, coming in at the same time saying the machines are ripping us off. So, I guess US bank will let customers spend the next several days making deposits, because no tech will come out until Monday, and then tell the customers they have to wait almost two weeks for refunds! Their customer service is hit & miss. Sometimes you will talk to a great person, but this Serena is horrible. My brakes went out & I spent over $400 for repairs and had to get money out of savings to cover that & bills. This has put me in a terrible situation, and I closed the savings account, & will close the checking after I cancel auto-payments & direct deposit. Worst bank in America.

I am a home owner. I live in Maryland. My mortgage is FHA with a CDA and, sadly it looks like US Bank Home Mortgage is the only bank that services FHA with CD. Less than one year in my loan, I was already having serious issues with this bank. First, their customer service is terrible. But the issue I am writing about is what I suspect to be a practice that another bank, First USA Bank had used before, and which earned them a massive and costly Class Action.
Every time I send my payment days before the 16th, I end up being charged a $40+ late fee. I wrote to the bank about this issue. First USA Bank did this before. I moved to PA in 2001. But the week before I moved, I spent one hour over the phone discussing the issue. I told the rep that I believed they were holding my checks, and only sending them to my bank after the due date, so as to charge me a late fee. I told her that while I may not sue them, I predicted that one day, someone would take them to court. The rep laughed.
However, two to three months after moving to PA to start a new job, I received Class Action letters from a law firm. After reading the main complaint, and although it was late for me to join. I thanked God. The chief indictment was exactly the issue about which I had spent considerable time over the phone discussing with them. They mocked me. I felt vindicated. I am suspecting the same issue with US Bank Home Mortgage. There is what I believe any smart attorney could exploit to nail them down. I will withhold that because I am honestly hoping, hoping that this bank would be sued.
What I do not understand is why the government would allow such a monopolistic situation? I mean why allow a single bank to service FHA loans with CDA? This undermines the core principle of competition. Since they are the only bank (that is why my loan officer told me) they feel licensed to behave like sharks. Imagine the bank taking $40+ from hundreds, if not thousands of homeowners, and imagine such a practice going on for years.
In my most recent communication with them, I warned them against a potential litigation. But that has not deterred them from doing it again. Reading other friends' accounts here almost brought tears out of my eyes. I do sincerely believe that something has to be done. If the government does not act to stop this, then we, the consumers must act.

US Bank has their fees, as well as their overdrafts like any other bank. I have their mid level checking/savings account with direct deposit set up with one secured card. No loans, and never had one. Actually got denied when applied 3 years ago, but credit was much poorer then. I have to say they have been more than fair when I have had legitimate issues. When I have overdrafted I have went in to my main branch, and ALWAYS stay down and spoken with someone. EVERY TIME they have refunded at least 50% of the overdrafts. A very satisfactory point for sure!!!
However; I am annoyed that even when you have an overdraft, and the bank is at fault it does not reflect as such on your banking record, it just shows as a past "refunded overdraft", thus appearing as if I screwed up and they rectified my mishap. This has actually hampered them refunding all of my actual mishap in one scenario due to them not being able to see why I had been refunded previously when I in fact knew it was due to a banking error in which they acknowledged. My advice, if you can do direct deposit, choose Silver checking, and if you have any issues... then don't call! Go into the branch and try the old fashioned route and sit down and work it out! US Bank overall is just another for profit, but they're far from the worst!

After I found out it was sent to the wrong biller and my account was negative, I called US Bank to see what I can do to fix it. None of their employees seemed to care and they just kept transferring me to departments and people. I at least talked to 10 people between US Bank, US Card member service, recovery broker, and the actual recovery company. I spent about 3 hours of my time getting nowhere. I got extremely frustrated and called US Bank again.
After pleading with the operator to please help me, she put in more effort and gave me a solution. If they had done that in the beginning I would of saved so much time and frustration. Unfortunately, I had to call the next day to dispute the payment. I again was transferred to US Member services and they were not willing to help me. US Card member services cashed my check even though the account is no longer active and is in recovery with a completely different company (to which I have already made arrangements to pay). They tried transferring me to the recovery service which I tried explaining to the operator that it was card member service that cashed my check not the recovery company. They kept repeating the same thing over and over and gave me attitude.
Once I asked to speak to their manager I got more attitude from them and they put me on hold for 20 min. I hung up and called US Bank again and again PLEADED with the operator to help me. She did and finally was transferred to a manager that helped me and explained everything to me. I don't understand if the account is in recovery, how card member service still cashes the check. They are horrible banking institution that purposely make resolving an issue impossible, but are extremely quick to take your money.

When I went to pick up my car, my card was declined. I called the bank and they said they could not make changes and I would have to wait until the next day for my limit to reset. How are you not able to override such thing, if you have money in your bank account? On top of that, I was going to be left without a car for a day!? What kind of business does that?!

US Bank is unethical and careless in its practices. I knew from the beginning I had made a mistake. 6 years ago I applied for a cc with USB. They accepted me and I soon found out they were giving me a balance on pay with a high schooler. It was $500. All my other credit cards are at $5k+. I was shocked at the low balance so I did some research and was told by others the balance would go up quickly. 6 years later I am only at $1k. This card rarely gets used.
I then find that I have a 60-day late payment from USB on my credit report. I have a flawless report otherwise. It makes no sense as to why this would happen. I am positive I paid this card in full. I contacted them and I received a robotic response of how the records show true to them. In fear of this happening again, I go online to just pay the card off and cancel it. I put a payment in, submit it, only to find out that this payment did not go through either. It turns out their site is down and has been for months. They allow you to hit submit thinking the payment went through and then they tack on late fees and ruin your credit for 7 years. It is just not worth it. If you absolutely need a card from them. Use it until you can get another card elsewhere and then cancel the USB card as soon as possible. You have been forewarned.

Banking with US Bank has been the worst banking experience I have had and the most costly on my end. They were inaccurate with information causing a lot of financial and personal loss. I have moved on to a reputable credit union and will never look back.

I returned my lease vehicle. Notified the bank of this decision and still at the end of my three year lease they paid the taxes on this vehicle for a fourth year. I have produced evidence that I did not have possession of this vehicle and they continually harass me over this fee and additional fees. When I sent in my check along with cancelled check showing payments not reflected on bill they refused to cash my check as it stated paid in full. I believe the behavior of this institution is bordering on extortion. Beware!

I obtained a US Bank business credit card account with a $20k line of credit. I was told that if I spent $4500 within the first 90 days I would get a bonus reward of $500. I spent the required amount and even called the bank to make sure that I had spent the amount needed within the required time limit. I was told I did and would receive the credit on my June 2016 statement. When the statement arrived I did not see the amount credited. I called and was told that I had spent the required amount and the credit would arrive on my September 2016 statement. Again the statement arrived without the credit. I called a 3rd time and verified the amount had been met.
When I called again I was informed that since 2 items had been returned for a total of $100 dollars that I was short $45 dollars. Unbelievable. Additionally I was told that I made a late payment and that disqualified me for the 0% interest program. I was charged a late fee. I called the bank and proved to them that I did pay on time and the fee was removed. The following month I got an interest charge. When I called I was informed that since I had a late fee I now had to pay interest. I got the late fee removed but was then told that I needed a supervisor to file a request to reinstate me back in the 0% program.
I spoke with the supervisor and was told that she put in a request for me but that it would take a certain amount of business days before it happened. So there is the possibility that I would again be charged. So of course I would have to call again. I have had to call every month on this account. Truthfully this is nothing more than bait and switch, a real ponzi scheme. This bank is a terror. I know all bankers are liars and cheats but these guys go above and beyond.

I have both of my sons as independent, authorized users on my US Bank Visa for use while they are at college. I have had them on the accounts for in excess of 5 years. Both sons attended college away from our primary residential area. One, 8 hours north (but within the same state), the other 15 hours south, (in another state).
Well, my youngest son graduated college in April of this year. He had used the card while traveling between states and in his college state. This August, he was accepted to grad school and left for the East Coast. As he was moving into his apartment, he attempted to use the card at a grocery store, and then Costco, but it was declined. He was on the phone with US Bank for over 50 minutes, to no avail. They continued to tell him that they could not provide him information, despite the fact that he had a card with his name on it, and he was authorized on the account. As a grad student, his funds were quite limited, so this posed a BIG ISSUE!
I was at an event at the time, so could not call immediately. When I finally did call (approximately 8 PM), it took over 45 minutes to speak to a HUMAN. Then I was told the card was cut off because of potential fraud as it was being used out of state. Really. Never had a problem before! Also, why didn't someone text, email, or contact me, to inquire??? Why would they not speak to my son? Why did it take almost 2 hours of calls to get this resolved? I was left with many why's and VERY angry. The Rep I spoke to apologized profusely, and confirmed my son was an authorized user and on the account and should have been able to resolve with his calls. I have had the US Bank Visa for many years. I will not have it for much longer.
By contrast, this week, our Capital One card sent an Email and a text of potential fraudulent activity. I confirmed it WAS fraudulent activity. They had me call the fraud area, a new card was sent to me NEXT BUSINESS MORNING, and it was a pleasant experience. This, despite the fact that $488 in fraud charges were stopped, and $121 in fraud charges were actually put through. The rep assured me those $121 charges would be removed from the bill that day (they were). With very little distinguishing credit cards, customer service is all they have. US Bank needs to step it up.

When my lease ended, no Jeep dealer in the Washington DC area would allow me to return my Jeep. I called US Bank multiple times, and they said to keep calling Jeep dealers. Finally I called US Bank in frustration and they agreed to have a company pick up my Jeep. However, the company never arranged to pick up the vehicle. I called US Bank an additional 4 times before the company finally picked up my vehicle.
US Bank then overcharged me at the termination lease. Again, I had to call multiple times to argue the charges. Each time I was put on hold for excessive wait times. Every time, the call representative I spoke to did not have information about my lease and was not able to help me. Very very Terrible Customer Service!!! Avoid US Bank!!!

This past week I had gone into the negative by about 16$ so being pretty money cautious (husband is a disabled veteran so we live on a fixed income) we went and took out a pay day loan to cover the overdraft and have a few dollars. We deposited 250$ into the atm on Saturday after hours and then took out 180 at the same time. We had no charges pending on that Saturday. So we get up Monday and I'm in the negative 14$?! They had a hold on 50 of the 250 we deposited. Apparently there had been old charges that didn't go through until Saturday sometime? So ok. I'll go deposit the money to cover it. Before leaving home I check the balance again and I'm negative over 100$!? I had gotten hit with 4 new OD charges.. from what?! I called the bank and she said they should release the 50$ funds the next day. Throughout that day my bank went from -100 to positive. To negative again?! What in the world!
So Tuesday comes and they still hadn't released the funds but I got hit with 4 OD fees?! I hadn't even used my card in days! I tried calling the bank I opened my account at and no one answers all day. I think they all died. So I called a different branch. Only to be told they couldn't do anything because they are not the branch I opened my account with... seriously... The lady was a bit more helpful and got in touch with the other branch. An assistant manager called me and refunded 2 of the OD fees, what about any of the other 18 fees I got hit with? I went through my bank statement and I had been hit with fees when I had funds available. So yesterday I tried to contact someone about it again and I was told to go into the branch so I could show them what I was seeing compared to what their records show.... why are they not the same?! I was asked if I kept a list of all my transactions... which I don't.
I have always relied on my online banking to do that. NEVER had I had a problem like this before. EVER. Basically the lady tells me that if I didn't keep track I can't prove the bank made a mistake... seriously? So today I check the account and they reversed my atm deposit?! Umm.. why?! Not only had they hit me with OD fees for no reason.
Now I'm in the hole over 400 $ because they said there was only 11$ in envelope... Are. You. Freaking. Kidding. Me. So. Now they have closed my account and have started an investigation on atm fraud... This bank is a joke. Their employees are a joke... especially in Cookeville and Sparts TN.

A bank employee offered me a low interest rate card if I signed up that day. A branch manager named Nathan, confirmed that I was eligible for an APR of 10%. I signed up and after receiving my card, there was a change of position. Mr. Nathan told me that it appeared that I'd only enjoy the low percentage after my APR kicked in one and half years later. He asked me to see him soon as my APR approached to kick in.
Two months ago, I went to the bank but Nathan was not there. A mean-looking ** woman who received me said she didn't understand why Nathan told me what he did. She asked me to return early September so she'd look into my account. In the meantime, she said Nathan was no longer employed at US Bank.

She was chit chatting with one of her fellow female employees. After about 10 minutes, the manageress apparently instructed her junior to attend to me. I told the junior employee that the last time I was in the bank, I spoke to her boss and therefore it'd be nice if she'd continue from where we last left. Moreover, the issues I went to solve could only be addressed by the manageress.
She left and they both talked. The junior walked out of her boss' office and later on came to me with a security guard. She told me her boss had ordered I be escorted out of the bank. I asked what I had done to be escorted out. I wasn't violent or threatening to acting violently; I was not agitates or in any way rude.

I was told by the agent who opened the account that I would have to pay taxes at the end of the year using 1099 int form. But the bank decided to get the money now. The account had the minimum balance and because they forgot to file w9, the bank took out enough to overdraft the account. This lead to the account being charged with overdraft fee on top of the damage that was done.
Next the bank took money from a reserve credit line to cover the damage and made the account not overdraft. Then they sent me a bill for that credit line. And yes the bill had 21% interest added to the amount. These predatory techniques were well noticed and I will report it at every avenue so people think twice before banking with US Bank. And fun fact: I got the w9 in mail 2 days prior to the event and the agent on the phone said that my accounts had no problem and said someone was trying to hustle me to give my social away and asked me to tear up the form.

I currently have a mortgage with US Bank and wanted to refinance. US Bank charged me an application fee of $395 to refinance. Everything was going smoothly. We have excellent credit and have never missed a payment with them in the 5 years we have been a customer. Then, after it was near the time to close US Bank informs us that we cannot have a Lady Bird Bill on our deed which would pass our house onto our children if we died. US Bank admitted it was their error not telling us in the first place and would refund our application fee and cover the lawyer fee to remove the Lady Bird Bill. We got our lawyer to remove it and the reimbursement for the lawyer fee was supposed to show up in the closing documents.
Next issue was US Bank removing a mortgage payment from our checking account when we were told we would not have to make the next two mortgage payments. Our Loan Processor informed us it was an error on their part and we would get the $1811 payment back at closing in addition to $1900. At closing, my name was spelled wrong on every document, we were charged a late fee of $75 with no explanation of what the late fee was for and the $100 lawyer fee was not showing as a credit on the closing documents. I was told to go ahead and put a line through all my misspelled names and then initial it and that they would figure out later why I didn't get my $100 refund on the lawyer fee or why they were charging me $75 late fee. I would not sign that night. I was told the closing documents would be fixed and the closing would be the next week.
US Bank did not schedule the closing until a couple of weeks later. At that time, I was told I would not get my $1811 back in the form of a check because they waited too long to reschedule my 2nd closing and then told me that Michigan has a law that you can't get more than $2000 back at closing. Since I was already getting $1900 back, US Bank decided that they would apply the $1811 to my new loan. I did not agree with them because I would not benefit from them taking MY $1811 cash and putting it against a 30 year loan. I needed that cash now.
I was extremely upset with US Bank and losing sleep over the entire situation. I told the Loan Processor, Jacqueline, that I was not comfortable with how US Bank was handling the refinance and wanted out. She agreed that this was US Bank's fault and told me that US Bank was going to refund my $395 application fee and not charge me for the $500 appraisal. Jacqueline told me that the $395 application fee would be refunded to my credit card in 2 to 4 weeks. I have an email to prove it.
6 weeks goes by and I tell Jacqueline that I still have not received the refund. She tells me that "I just heard back from Chad's supervisor. Per her remark in your file, they were legally required to charge the $395 application fee since your loan was final approved. However, they did not charge the $500 appraisal fee which normally happens when a loan is cancelled." After, US Bank made such a disaster of my refinance I shopped around. No other bank was going to charge me an application fee. What is up with US Bank charging a fee... and I'm a current customer?!? The other banks also had lower interest rates.
What a dishonest company!! For the last 6 weeks, I was told by Jacqueline that I would not have to pay for the appraisal and would get the application fee refunded and NOW she tells me US Bank decided they weren't going to refund the application fee. They are very unprofessional and do not care about customer relations. Think of all the interest they would have made from us over the next 30 years and now some other bank is going to get our business. My son is also refinancing and is steering clear of US Bank.

Provided all the requested information on day 1 after signing my disclosure package. Loan processor does not know what she needs.

Before the agreed loan closing date a week before that on Friday before long weekend she calls me and asks me for additional documentation (docs are already provided) and says if I can't provide that day they cannot complete as agreed.
They were sleeping on the docs for a good month and nice way for them to push the dates saying I have not provided the necessary documents. Now there is not even a commitment that they finish my loan within that stipulated time. My seller is now threatening to cancel the agreement (obviously as it has exceeded the time).

I have not received any more notification as to the result of my modification after they made me jump hoops to do a quit claim deed to remove my ex-husband. I have provided all the information that they requested. I am very frustrated with US Bank since I have had my loan sold to them. They refuse to give me a loan modification in 2009 forcing me to hire a lawyer in order to get my payments lowered.
They have went up on my rate 3 times in the past two years. My payments were at an affordable $1300.00 a month 2 years ago to now $1,800.00 a month. I have requested several assumption loans in order to get my ex-husband removed from my home to which they denied saying that I do not make enough, but I am the only one residing in the home and making the payment. Then to top it off, I was a few dollars short on my July payment because I was not made aware that the property taxes has risen and instead of them posting my payment to July 2016 they stuck it in a suspense account and charged me a late fee of $90.00. It took two months to get this straight because when I made my August Payment they applied it to my July Payment and my $1862.00 was still in the suspense account.
This bank by far is the most unreasonable bank to work with. I had a checking account for my rental property in Illinois. I closed it due to the fact I want very little contact if none at all to do with US Bank. You are not customer friendly at all. When I have reached out to you in my financial need you have not showed any compassion in the least. You do not follow up with your own regulations and timelines. Your staff is not trained and provide wrong information. I am so highly disappointed with your company. I will never ever refer anyone for your services ever.

I called 2 weeks ago to a US Bank branch to explain that I have lost my job and have not been paid in 6 weeks so I could not pay on my accounts and have gone through all my savings to keep all my payments current. That I had 2 job interviews during those 2 weeks but it could be another 45 days before my 1st paycheck due to background checks and the timeframe of their payroll. I was told that they would work with me, since I have been a customer of US Bank for over 18 years and have never missed any payments on any accounts I have had with them.
I have accepted a position as of last Friday and which I had only $800 left in my account for utilities, food and for my insulin. When I checked my bank account this morning US Bank without my permission has taken approximately $400 from account for their payments. So I guess it is extremely important to US Bank that they get their money and it does not matter that I can't eat, live in my home or have insulin for my diabetes. "Really only $800 in my checking." Of course this is typical for huge corporations to take their money first rather than work with their customers or communities when hard times strike. Shame on you on US Bank. :( :(

I have bought mastercard gift card, variable amount, manufactured by U.S. Bank. On the card, it says I can go to the website mygiftcardsite.com and check balance/register etc. When I go there, it shows error message. "The activation sticker on the front of your Gift Card may reflect an incorrect 800#. The correct 800# is (866) 952-5653. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused." When I call the number, the customer agent tells me the card is inactivated and there is $0 balance and she cannot tell me when the card was used because all the information has been discarded. Now, I had this card for about 1-2 years and original amount was $500. It could be true that I have used up the amount, but for there to be no record of when the card was drained, it is simply not acceptable especially when there is a threat of fraud. People should not use this company.

So... Today I receive a statement in the snail mail ref my US Bank mortgage escort account. Seems they have overcharged me to the tune of $81.36. It says I need to cash the check or if I don't have it they will reissue me another check for a fee of $15.00. I never received the first one. So I call the phone number expecting a friendly customer service rep. Ha, what a disappointment. After listening to about 20 minutes of computer talk. Seems to me they just want to keep all your money either in fees, charges or by hook or crook. Customer service is a joke... They are holding my refund for a year before they will issue another check without the $15.00 fee. Please shop elsewhere if looking for a mortgage for your new home. Save yourself the headaches of this bank. One star is only because there are no ZERO options.

I stopped using US Bank 3 years ago for a number of reasons. I was extremely unhappy with their organization. When I left they cut me a check for my remainder in my accounts. Now 3 years later I'm seeing something pop up on my credit that I still have receipts for paying off from back then. So I call in to find out that there is a balance apparently remaining on my old accounts that accrued more charges after the date I was cut a check in closure of accounts! So since I banked with them I am much further along in my career and work and can afford much more. That being said I would normally just pay this off but it is completely wrong...
Now I have been on 5 phone calls with their 'customer service' and put on hold for 30 minutes before I hung up and re called in then put on hold for 18 minutes before I called back in... Then I got in touch directly with the department that apparently handles overdue balances on account?? Which remember I was given a check back in the day for the remainder on these accounts!! They paid me when I left! Then I talk to a lady from this department and obviously by now I am frustrated... So she gets snappy with and says she's going to transfer me to the department that can breakdown what this balance is from and go over the statement.
So I get transferred again after talking to her for 20 minutes and her basically coming up with nothing besides the opening date of the account and now I got transferred back to the main line to start from scratch again!!! Unbelievable!! I am positive this service rep did that on purpose too!! Like she knew it would screw my time over even further.

This comes as a warning to others that US Bank's slow online service may waste their time. Don't bother trying to pay the bill for charges incurred several days before US Bank has posted them. Unlike other MORE COMPETENT banks which will pend charges, allow payment, and show a negative balance until all processing is complete, US Bank is incapable of handling a payment before they find it convenient to do so. If online bill pay is offered, it should be capable of handling simple payment transactions.

Online software purchase. Disabled remotely in an attempt to squeeze more money via subscription. Fully documented. US Bank investigated and denied dispute, hid behind 40 year old policies that do not apply to the electronic age. Enabling fraudulent transactions and/or failing to protect customers from established fraud with a profit participation constitutes conspiracy to that fraud. There's no question it was a fraud, and nobody from US Bank suggests otherwise. They just will not do anything about it because the letter of policies written before ecommerce began lets them ignore it. Among other things not done, the merchant still has the fraudulent offer posted to rip off others, with the same fraudulent language. And still accepts Visa for payment, keeps those processing fees rolling.
US Bank is resold/white label to local banks under names like "Elan Financial" and ultimately local neighborhood brands -- when there's a problem, have to deal with US Bank fraud disputes. Agreement: Latrisha from US Bank - Fraud, lacks authority to do anything. Justin never answers his phone. Dimitric never answers his phone. Agreement: Angelo from US Bank - Fraud, lacks authority to do anything. Marilyn refused to listen and kicked me to customer service.
Of course I will close my accounts (multiple), but the problem is closing will happen silently some weeks from now after a transition, and nobody will notice. It should be loud and clear I am closing accounts because US Bank protects and profits from fraud, and refuses to address valid claims of bank fraud if they can find any excuse to avoid it.

They offer no help other than go to a branch and make a deposit. They also inform me that my balance, after my auto deposit is negative.

Arriving midnight I find a US Bank ATM that accepts cash deposits. I try and deposit $500.00. It tells me there a problem, keeps the cash and tells me to call tomorrow. I go to the Emergency Room for my back.
This all occurred about a month ago. The charges to my account was about $600.00. I deposited over $2500.00. I tried to close my account. They refused. They paid nothing. The end result, I still owe over $700.00. They took over a month's income, paid nothing and left me $700.00 in the hole. I am a veteran on permanent disability. I have lost my residence, I have lost just about everything because of this. When I was able to close my account stopping more fees.

I've banked with US Bank for over 25 years. Recently a hold was put on my debit card awaiting my activation of my new debit card that has a chip. Since I wasn't able to even purchase a cup of coffee, and an auto pay had been returned, I assumed that since there was money in the account and nothing could come out of it, it would not go into a negative balance. I've been on vacation for 6 weeks, and back to work for a week, so I decided to take care of activating the card, but when I called on it, I found my business account had been CLOSED.
I couldn't imagine why, but found that a safe deposit charge that comes out once a year had gone through which put my account into a -$15 balance. Then a $36 overdraft fee was applied, and then weekly charges of $15. Long story short... I owed the bank $230. I went into the branch closest to me, and the manager there said he could totally see what had happened, and was going to waive the fees and reinstate the account, but realized I had opened the account down the road. He explained that the branch manager there would have to do it, but he would call her and explain the situation.
When I spoke with the branch manager there she told me her hands were tied and she had no intention of reversing any of the charges stating that they had mailed me notices (which I didn't get because I was on vacation and didn't go into the town where I get mail). I tried to explain this to her. I have never ever asked to have a fee reversed in 25 years, but this was an honest mistake. She didn't care. I paid the $230 in fees so the account would be reinstated because I need access to the account to get my records for taxes etc.
She refused to reopen the account. She said she could open a new account. When I explained I needed access to the statements she told me it wasn't possible, and that she had to charge me $12 for each month's statement (I need all of 2015 and so far this year in 2016 18 statements). I have never been treated so poorly. I know it was within her power to help me and she refused. I will be closing my other 2 accounts and spreading the word of my experience. It was so unacceptable.

I had nothing but wonderful things to say about US Bank. My first year - free checking, no hassles. Then the random charges for 20 and 80 dollars a month started from some random company I'd never heard of. After several written letters and pleading on the phone [making minimum wage at the time] for some of my money back for rent, they eventually conceded to put a stop to the charges out of the nearly 200 they had taken. I fought my way through it, went hungry a few weeks, but it was golden. I made it. After the anger subsided I evaluated what happened. I was made to feel insignificant for having that little in my account. "It's just $80...why are you so upset?" one lady asked me. 80$ was three weeks worth of groceries. I was given the runaround for days and missed work to handle this issue. I was disgusted but by the end of it I stuck with US Bank.
Then fraud happened, not even a year later. The following October, someone stole all my credit card data and put it up on some ghetto website with all my personal private info saying they had gleaned it in a security flaw in a massive US Bank Home Depot scam. My account was drained of money, shut down, savings and checking, and held for over 30 days as they sent me paper after paper after paper to sign and mail, sign and mail. I think I got all my money back, I don't honestly remember, but it was in excess of 30 days to get my account straight and touch my money. I was told that "If you had our credit card, you'd automatically have this protection".
I got the credit card and within a month had a strange charge for 40 bucks or so, and immediately got told to "handle it yourself. We don't do anything for fraudulent charges." So I confirmed "You want me to call this random string of numbers company...demand a refund, and do everything myself because 'they just don't do that kind of thing.'"
Then I got my first real job. Yep, the job of my dreams, fat paychecks, everything. Direct deposit set up, things going smoothly, boom, payday. I was so excited, checked my account...nothing. Friday nothing, Saturday nothing, Sunday nothing, Monday nothing, Tuesday nothing, Wednesday, HAH, payment, five days later. I asked US Bank why it took five days for my check to hit, "Oh, we never received the deposit until Tuesday night". My co-workers got their money on that Friday. Two weeks later, payday on Friday, I get it the following Monday. This goes on, pay on Friday, get money on anywhere from Monday to Wednesday. US Bank says they don't show pending and it's my company. My company shows where it's gone through on Thursday at midnight, just like it should.
I got a new bank account with Union. What dya know? Paycheck comes in on time every time. I all but stopped using US Bank. I used them for PayPal transactions. Then the new mobile app for depositing checks happens. YAY! No more bank trips! Did you know they charge you to deposit checks? I deposited a 25$ check with only .22 cents in my account. Guess which loyal US Bank customer got an overdraft fee for PUTTING MONEY INTO her account? This girl! :D After a rousing few moments of supreme "WTFs" from my local branch manager on their charges, he reversed them, but I was still sans money a few days.
They changed, randomly, the rewards for my rewards credit card. That was lovely. I used to get a maximum of 25$ in rewards every three months. Sucks, but I was building my credit. Now, it's 15$. No warning, nothing, just BOOM, "We changed your rewards." I'm not overly happy with them. I'd suggest not using them, but they were an excellent life lesson in how to protect yourself.

None of the online bankers or branch bankers could tell me why the hold was placed or remove the hold. The only way to get any information or get the hold removed is to talk with the fraud department which is closed on the weekend.

I have probably lost more money to this institution than anywhere else. They charge so many obscured fees it's ridiculous. $5 every month for a savings which I mean is not a lot but every month for over the past few years adds up quite a bit. I also have logged in multiple times to check on my account and I have found MULTIPLE times where there were random fees taken out of my FREE checking account. I logged on once and there were pending transactions of from them taking $10, $15, and $30 with no description (and no I did not overdraft or over transfer or anything like that)??? I understand that $55 isn't such a high number but that is MY money and they have no right to go into my account and take it.
Sometimes I'd accidentally have auto subs on and would go under about $0.50 and would get charged $36 every single night and with me not knowing it was hard to repay the fees especially since they charged an additional $25 per week!! Obviously being a poor college student WITH a student account I found it absolutely outrageous for me to get charged $36 for 50 cents?? And I have heard of you being able to call and ask for fees being lifted but I have never seem to ever have luck. Their over the phone customer service absolutely sucks by the way... I have called many times about dumb issues where my card would no work when I would have plenty of funds for my purchases and they would give me dumb ** excuses. Adding on from that I probably had problems with my card every other week for about 6 months this past winter.
With them sending out new chip cards and then it not working so they'd have to send me another and it still would work I had to go in and ask for a temporary card leaving me stranded without money for days. I have also tried plenty of times applying for credit cards especially student ones, even secured. I have never been approved due to "lack of credit experience" which I find very hard to believe since I do have an above average credit score from paying bills and loans. Speaking of loans, I ended up having to take out a loan through another bank due to U.S. Bank not offering the type I needed.

I was recently laid off and issued an unemployment card through US Bank. Recently on June 5th 2016 my account was fraudulently drained from an ATM about $600, that I had to live on with my kids for the next 2 weeks. I called US Bank right away and filed the fraudulent claim. I was informed that I have wait for paperwork to be sent in the mail to me, fill it out and send it back and within the next 10 days I would receive a "provisional credit". Well 7 days later I finally received this paperwork, which consisted of exactly what I stated on the phone when I filed the claim and all they needed was my signature! Really? They make me wait 7 days to sign paperwork! In the meantime this is also 7 days that I have had zero money to feed my kids or put gas in my car, etc... I find a way to fax this paperwork back hoping to expedite the process.
Well we are now at the 10th day and I have yet to receive any provisional credit or any assistance from US Bank. Whenever I call for a status I am simply told "We cannot contact that department. There is no way to get an update on the reissued credit." This to me is absolutely unacceptable!! I understand banks need to go through their processes with fraud but making someone who is unemployed (or anyone) wait more than 10 days for a credit is just not good customer service especially when there is fraud activity. Based on their customer service I would NEVER bank with them if I had my choice!! Disgusted!

I received a priority letter on 6/3 stating my credit card "will be closed effective 6/1". The letter is also dated 6/1 and states, "Please contact customer service to redeem any rewards prior to the closure date as all rewards will be forfeited at account closure." Clearly US Bank intended for me to lose these rewards (worth about $1k USD) by closing the account before I was notified! I have ZERO late payments to US Bank in approximately 10 years as a customer and my credit is solid (around 725) with zero late payments to other companies.
Upon contacting US Bank I was told a request for information was sent to an old address of mine and sent "certified". This request was sent to my old address on 4/13/16 despite my call to them on 3/20/16 telling them I would be traveling internationally and would no longer be at that address. In addition, the letter containing my personal information was left OUTSIDE ON THE DOORSTEP for anyone to collect. There was never any phone call or other contact from US Bank.
Account review manager Amanda ** refused to provide me with a copy of my card member terms. She also refused to tell me when my account was opened, why specifically it was closed and refused to provide me with a copy of the letter (containing personal information about me) that was left at the incorrect address. I requested an opportunity to respond to the letter request and to simply get a copy of the letter (to see what personal information was included about me) I was rudely refused.
Surely I should have some privacy rights and rights as a cardholder with US Bank??? It is shocking to me to experience such terrible customer service and I feel my rights have clearly been violated. If any lawyer who may read this feels they could help me I would like to discuss the matter with you. I have already filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. I can be reached at **. Thank you.
On a final note - if anyone at US Bank reads this SHAME ON YOU for accepting 8.5 billion of our tax dollars during your bailout only to turn around and treat customers in this manner. You may be a huge company but that should not give you the feeling you can violate your customers' rights as Amanda ** and others at your company have done.

In January of 2016 I opened a mortgage application with US Bank, working with an employee called Vincent ** based in their San Diego office. I have never worked with someone so incredibly incompetent in my entire life. From the moment we opened the application, I noticed there were multiple errors in all of the documents/filings he provided. Material information was incorrect including my address, my employment details, the details of the property I was buying, how much money I made and how much debt I owed. This should have been a massive red flag, however I thought if I simply pointed these errors out he would correct them and we could move forward.
When I did point them out I was bullied into signing incorrect documents and told "I was holding up the process" and we wouldn't make closing in time if I didn't cooperate. He assured me that these mistakes would be remedied, yet it took four additional months for an underwriter to come back to me and highlight the mistakes that I had already pointed out. Unfortunately this was only the beginning of a 5 month process whereby I was asked for the same documentation repeatedly, I had to provide the same examples over and over again and I was treated appallingly at every turn. I think that they act with such contempt as they are the only provider of the type of mortgage I was seeking - thus they had no accountability.
Eventually I had to walk away from the property of my dreams. To add insult to injury when I highlighted how disappointed I was in the failings of this process all Vince had to say for himself was "You are welcome" as if I should have been more grateful. Grateful I wasted 5 months of my life doing someone else's job for them. Grateful I am no longer able to purchase this home. Grateful this mortgage application will sit on my credit report. The only thing I am grateful for is I never have to speak to or work with US Bank again. Stay away from this institution at all costs to avoid heartache.

Of course taxes are due Jun. 20th so now we have to pay taxes ourselves and give them 678.00 to put in escrow if its gets approved. We are so frustrated I could just cry. Let me warn you.

It was brought to my attention that my US Bank Premiere account had an outstanding balance and was referred to the collections department for collections. Upon receiving this information, I immediately checked my account to verify its status. Upon validating this, I immediately paid the account in full and closed the premiere line of Credit. It was my understanding that the premiere line of credit was on Autopay. However, to my dismay, only my bills were on Autopay, not the Premiere Line of Credit.
I never received any correspondence to my address that my account was delinquent. And because it was delinquent, I was just disapproved to refinance my home. I submitted a letter to Card Member Services regarding not being properly notified that my account was delinquent. Card Member services basically sent me a letter saying, "Sorry, we're not changing anything." My next step is to contact the credit bureaus and advise them so that if I'm ever denied credit, I can produce the rebuttal letter. US Bank is only concerned about $$$ as most banks. The "We care about the customer" went out with the 1960's.

Unfortunate, but had to close my credit card with US Bank that has been open since 2011. Card was issued with a $7,000 limit and it has been used as needed and then paid off several times. First week of May 2016 I get a surprising letter reducing my credit card limit to 5,500 instantly causing the account to basically be maxed out. The letter stated this was due to my "Pay History"??? Hmmm. Interesting.
I call customer service to see what the massive problem with my pay history is because surely there has to be SOME type of ongoing issue to warrant such a reduction in my limit. Per two calls to their customer service center (one including a conversation with a supervisor) I am told this is all because my current payment is past due. AND IT IS. Guilty as charged. We got busy with baseball season with my son and overlooked making a payment. ONE payment! A payment that was due on Thursday 04/28/16 and on the following Monday 05/02/16 (TWO BUSINESS DAYS LATER) U.S.Bank fires out a letter telling me that my pay history is so negative that they have decided to make this change.
So let me get this straight... I use my card occasionally when I have the need, pay my payments on time (except this ONE), and then as soon as I can I pay off the balance in full (because that's what a responsible consumer should do). Then I am two business days late on ONE payment by your own admission of reading your own records and you see fit to reduce my credit limit and show my card basically maxed out when it reports to my credit. Your only solution that you can offer to what even YOU say seems to be "a bit of an aggressive response" is that you will be happy to run my credit again to see if US Bank is open to putting my limit back to where it was. NO THANK YOU! If someone is going to run my credit again it will be someone I can trust to treat me like a valued client.
The reality here people, is that US Bank doesn't like the fact that I customarily pay my card on time, pay off my balances quickly, and don't use a credit card unless I need to. BOTTOM LINE. They aren't making enough money off of me. What a shame. GREED will get you every time. Well you could have made some interest on this balance for a while, but in light of how you have treated me I've decided that is not going to be acceptable. So I have paid you off. FOR THE LAST TIME. Enjoy making ZERO interest on me because now my balance is zero AGAIN. AND I have closed my account. Ladies and Gentlemen if you want a bank that will treat you fairly, and respects a person that can handle their finances... move along because US Bank is not for you!

I'm about one call away from contacting an attorney and filing a harassment lawsuit against US Bank. I had co-signed a student loan for a step daughter around 2007. Unfortunately, her mother and I divorced in 2009. During the last 3-4 years, every time my ex-stepdaughter is 8-10 days late making a monthly payment, I receive calls from a collection agency. Sometimes these calls are twice daily. I have been in touch with my ex-stepdaughter and she has attempted to work out different payment plans with US Bank but they have been completely uncooperative.
She makes payments and gets caught up when she can. She has been behind by up to 2 months at one time but always gets her account caught up as soon as possible. She would like to lower her minimum payment to get through a difficult time while her spouse searches for new employment. She is currently supporting her family with only her income. US Bank refuses to work with her in adjusting her plan. I'm sure they are charging her late payment fees monthly which essentially negates any payment she makes. In this regard, she has no chance of gaining on the balance of the loan.
This is reminiscent of the racket I experienced with a US Bank Checking account I had for a short time in 2004. US Bank was holding electronic direct payroll deposits (guaranteed transfer of funds) from my employer for a minimum of 5 days. I had other accounts at other institutions that electronic direct payroll deposits would post to my accounts almost immediately the same day of the deposit.
US Bank never informed me of the 5 day positing policy. As a result, I unknowingly over drafted my checking account. US Bank would then charge $35-$40 per check. This resulted in about $240 - $260 overdraft fee. After US Bank refused to assist with removing the fees or providing documentation that they informed me, I immediately closed my accounts. I will never knowingly do business with this institution ever again.

And when they finally approved me they denied answering any of my questions about my second mortgage until I made the first trial payment. Then they told me I have to clear the title with the second mortgage otherwise the re-modification offer will be withdrawn.

I decided to do a little math during my online banking session a few minutes ago. I thought I would share my findings with you guys since I'll be sharing them with everyone else (BBB, Consumer affairs etc). In the short 5 weeks since I opened my account with U.S. Bank (my new slogan is "Fees you can bank on" by the way), I've accumulated the following: 15 overdraft fees or $540, $57 in charge-backs, $170 in non-US Bank atm fees (most financial institutions pay these for their customers), $4 in counter check fees (just to withdraw my own money), and $14 for needing a bank issued check. All in all... $785 in fees, just in 5 weeks. LET ME REPEAT THAT IN CASE YOU MISSED IT, 7-8-5 as in SEVEN HUNDRED EIGHTY-FIVE DOLLARS, just in fees.
For giggles, let's round this down to 4 weeks and take that number and multiply it by 12. $9,420 is what I would pay annually if this pattern continued. Now before you write me back the token, "take advantage of overdraft protection" blah blah blah. I have looked into every possible measure to avoid these outrageous fees. I've even opted out of overdraft payments as to block further charges... however, it's worthless because U.S. Bank will still selectively allow charges to go through resulting in more fees. I, like many other Americans don't have a surplus of funds to offset the margin it seems to take in order to guarantee I don't receive this $36 load of crap. The other selective activity I've noticed is between the hours of midnight and 7 am. During this time anything is possible; charges disappear/reappear, pending transactions re-order themselves selectively and finally any number of other anomaly's that align perfectly in order to charge me more fees.
So thank you US Bank for being a business that works to the benefit of their customer. An institution that protects the finances of the hardworking men and women that rely on honest and ethical practices which allow them to support their families and put a roof over their head. That when people like me... call customer service or visit a branch to question the validity of these outrageous fees (as I've done many times), get absolutely nowhere and treated disrespectfully. It seems logical at this point that I should simply close my account. In this case, however, I want to see and document just how far this goes. I think others might be curious as well.

I recently used My US Bank ReliaCard to make an online payment for my motorcycle. When filling out the form I put down my home zip code instead of my PO box zip code. I didn't realize that this would be such a major mistake. The payment was declined, but the money was deducted from my card. I called US Bank who denied knowing anything about it. Then I called the company who was supposed to receive the payment. They convinced me they would not decline my payment. I finally got US Bank to admit they put a 10 business day security hold on the payment. That was a total inconvenience and unnecessary pain in the wallet. US Bank knew there was no funny business going on but held my money for a total of 15 days counting weekends. I hate US Bank.

I am the victim of a scam. That is not the issue here. The issue is that I counted on my bank to protect me and they didn't. A buyer for an item I listed on Craig's List sent me a cashier's check. I deposited the check in my US Bank account. After the buyer asked for reimbursement, I asked the branch manager if the check had cleared. She said that it had and the funds were available for disbursement. I also called the bank's 800 number, asked the same question and received the same answer. Because the bank indicated the check was good, I went ahead and sent the buyer a refund.
A week later, the bank informed me the cashier's check was a forgery and they were deducting the full amount from my account. I went to the branch manager to explain that she said the check cleared. She said the 1-day approval was a courtesy because I was a good customer and they had no reason to suspect the check was bad. Obviously, I was concerned, which is why I asked if the check had cleared. She then explained that it takes 3-5 days for the check to fully clear from the issuing institution. The bank's policy on bad checks is to deduct the amount from the customer's account (mine). She verified with her boss that the bank was unwilling to accept the loss. I also called the 800 number, spoke with a supervisor and got the same response.
I relied on the bank to tell me if the check cleared. If they had concerns, they should have told me then, not waited a week. If they suspected an issue, they should have asked me about the sender. In short, I relied upon them to protect me against a bad check by asking if the check cleared and they lied. I will never do business with them again and I'm writing this to help protect you from making the same mistake.

I accepted one of US Bank's interest-free checks to pay off another account. I had a $86 outstanding balance on my US Bank card at the time I used their check. I paid off a $4,000 credit card with the US Bank interest-free check. Just found out that US Bank has been charging monthly interest on the "interest-free" check since I first used it back in November (five months ago). Their justification was that since there was an outstanding balance of $86 at the time I cashed the check, they can legally charge interest during the interest-free period as well as the balance transfer fee. I asked to pay the $86 off and they said I could not pay it off until the $4,000 was paid in full. I said that was illegal. They said "It's in the fine print." I closed all of my US Bank credit cards. AVOID THIS COMPANY AT all costs!

I'm an international student in Washington State University. When I was enrolled to WSU, the US bank who is already cooperate with Washington State University offer me to open the bank account with them to make a student card. The US Bank also said that they don't have Bank of America in that city which is hard to settle a dispute or if I lost my ATM card. At that time since I only have one account from Bank of America, I was thinking to open another account just in case I might need another card when I lost the other one.
On October I stopped using the US Bank, since the money and funds I got from my mom is always transferred to Bank of America instead of US bank. The final balance at that time was $10, then they charged in on February 2016 for $402 because overdraft fees which according to them my final balance was minus $50 and the overdraft fee overtime becomes $402. It's a ripoff for Washington State University student. Please board of education settle this dispute between me and them.

US Bank mortgage is run with incompetence. Other banks are more efficient and significantly cheaper (see the end). My initial anger with them came with my second mortgage, when I had escrow for insurance and taxes. They sent me a notice stating I hadn't paid my insurance and if I did not immediately rectify the situation, they would sign me up for a very expensive policy that would cover nothing. After that I insisted on cancelling the escrow and paying my own bills (which I manage to pay on time, every time).
When I moved I went through a local bank to avoid this problem, but my local bank immediately sold the loan to US Bank. I again insisted on no escrow. I recently got divorced and my ex husband has to give me 1/2 the home equity. He decided to go through US Bank bc he thought it would be easier. He brings home 2.5 times the mortgage, and our bill has been paid in time (actually ahead) every month for the last 3 years. Yet somehow this bank is leery about approving the loan. He initiated the loan at the beginning of Feb. He arranged for the appraisal right away, but they said they couldn't schedule closing until they had the divorce papers.
He faxed them on March 16, and didn't hear anything for a week. Then they said they can't do anything without an additional paper stating the exact figure to be paid to me and signed by us both. That was faxed March 23. Another week, and he had to call them. The lady working on our loan no longer works for the company and the guy who took over just discovered he's missing an IRS form. Once that's submitted we hear nothing, and both try to call for a couple days. He says it went to the underwriter, and it should be back any day, so we should be able to close the middle of next week (about April 6).
We hear nothing for 3 days, and when he finally answers the phone he says it can't be for at least another 10 days because of a new federal law. He didn't mention that on Monday when he talked to my ex husband. And the paperwork still isn't back from the underwriters. Another day later (Friday) and I'm calling to find out what's going on. I call 6 times before the guy answers the phone. He says we're next on his list and he'll call me back when he finds out what's going on. I tell him straight out I don't believe he'll call me back because not one person from that bank has called me back yet. He insists he's different and he will call me back. He does not. He sends my ex an email that he's forwarding the issue to his manager. I respond to that email, asking for the contact info for that manager so I can follow up. He does not respond.
At the end of the day he leaves a message for my ex saying because there is a equity line of credit attached to the loan, underwriting has to hold it for 5 days before they can approve it, and THEN the 10 day waiting period starts. And they can't schedule a closing until then, and they have a limited number of title people, so no one may be available then. So a refinance for a customer in good standing (at a higher interest rate, which will earn them more money) apparently takes 3 months!!! I'm buying a house from strangers and the bank I went through will be ready for me to close after a total of 5 weeks, but I won't have the money for my down payment. Thanks to US Bank. Also, I'm getting almost 1/2% lower rate. So other banks are more efficient and significantly cheaper. Shop around.

Do yourself a favor and never even imagine to associate with this fraud company. They will sneak and get you in a trap where you would have no option but to pay money. I had a mortgage with them. I was out of country for 3 months and in within that time frame my insurance premium expired. They bought insurance w/o letting me know (no paperwork received) which was 5 times than what I used to pay. Old insurance expired on Dec. 1st, they purchase new insurance on Feb 25th and deduct money from my escrow and they back date this insurance to Dec 1st.
So if anything happen to my home in between this 3 months I wouldn’t have got paid, but nothing happen and no claim was file so they back date 3 months back and milk 5X the money. I called 5 times and all of them were nasty and rude, shout at me and said, “We already deducted money from your escrow” (with a smile like “We deducted money from your account and you can’t do anything”). I have never ever been late in any mortgage payments, deserve a little respect but they don’t care. Just stay away from these cheaters. There are 2 other bad issues I face with this cheaters. No doubt why they are rated 'the lowest' in mortgage industry. BEWARE.

I signed up for a checking account and was not made aware of hidden maintenance fees that drained my account and caused my account to go overdrawn. I never even used the account once. To their credit, they forgave the maintenance fees to put me negative but I didn't get back my money that was originally in my account. Be careful with this Bank. They just stole my money - that's not what a bank is for. Not impressed with the customer service or the policies they have in place. If they can find a way to siphon money from your account, it appears they're more than willing to do so.

I was with US bank less than a week and already had problems. Verizon had refunded me some money. Only took a couple of days. I went out and tried to use my card but it kept getting declined. I went online to check my account just to make sure I wasn't going crazy because I knew I had the funds in my account and they said my information wasn't found. I called customer service and they said my local branch put a lock on my account and I can't use my card but if I go to my local branch they can issue me a new temporary card.
I got a new temp card. I thought everything was fine. Three days later my bank card came in the mail. I went to activate it but it didn't work. Once again I had to talk to a customer service representative and see what the problem was. Come to find out they put a lock on my account AGAIN and sent me another bank card and that one should come in the mail by next week. But the customer service representative also told me that I could go to my local branch so they can take the lock off my account. I don't know why they put a lock on my account again or reissue me another bank card when I had a temp. Ugh!!! But what my local branch didn't tell me was that I can't swipe my card, I can only pull money out. So once again I'm swiping my card looking stupid.
The next day I called my local branch, I was so pissed, they kept transferring me to different people. I think I must of talked to 3 different people until I found out what was going on with my account. Finally a supervisor got on the phone and told me they're closing my account because I swiped it too many times while my account was locked (even though they never told me what they was doing to my account or giving me a heads up) and they don't feel comfortable with leaving my account opened, so they can either mail me a check or I can come pick up my money. And the funny thing about it was they had the nerve to tell me that mailing a check would be better. Smh. They got the cuss out of their life on the phone and in person. All of this because Verizon had refunded me some money. NEVER EVER WILL I DO BUSINESS WITH US BANK AGAIN. I would of stuck with Bank Of America but Columbus, Ohio doesn't have a branch.

Was told that I was being sued in the amount of 5,000.00 plus for overdraft fees, late charges and attorney fees from acct closed in 11/20/07 with US Bank. The charges were in dispute at the time and were never resolved. They were around 200.00. Please see class action suit re US Bank. I frankly forgot about them, Wrong I know.
Approx 2 years ago I received a call from a collection agency in New York about this issue and Made arrangements to pay off the debt in installment and gave him the info to automatically deduct the amount from an acct on a monthly basis. This was to be verified by e-mail with a hard copy to follow in the mail. None of this happened so after several days and several phone calls with no answer I closed that acct.
Today I was told that this was a federal offense and after court I would have to attend classes for 4 weeks at 120. per class. I was told that they were not a financial institution and could not accept payments but they would settle if I sent them 2,822.00. I was told banks were always right and there was no recourse, but to pay up. They also told me they were not responsible to send me any copies of this and I could see them when I was served or went to court. Stated I would not be served this week but the papers were coming and I would be served.

Why is it that this is the only bank on the planet that cannot stop a pending charge when the customer never authorized the charge???

Now a $89.95 charge is pending and they cannot stop payment. Every bank I have had prior to these idiots were able to stop a charge while it was pending.

We leased our car through US Bank. With over 40 years of leasing vehicles, this was the first time with US Bank. The end of lease experience is extremely stressful. With other finance companies, we always just turned the car into the dealership. With US Bank, they sent out an independent inspector. That went okay. The wear and tear charge was only $50. The instructions to us when turning the car into the dealer were actually frightening, telling us that if we didn't do it exactly correct, they could consider the car not turned in. We did everything correctly and kept copies from the dealer. We were told by US Bank the final charge letter would be sent to us within 2-3 weeks after turn in. We turned the car in on February 25 (lease end was March 29).
We received the letter dated March 8 from US Bank on Saturday, March 12, stating our final payment was $50, due on April 4. I wrote the check for $50 and put it in the mail on Monday, March 14. On Saturday, March 19, my husband, while working, received a call from US Bank's Post Maturity Customer Service Department. He returned the call on Monday, March 21, asking why US Bank was calling. They were asking about the $50 and he told them the letter was received on March 12 and the check was mailed on March 14. Seriously?! It's not due until April 4 and on March 19 they are calling asking about the $50. We considered this harassment from US Bank. Never will we do any kind of business with US Bank again.

US Bank has an online app through the iPhone that allows consumers to make payments on credit cards via their checking account (both the checking account and credit card are US Bank affiliated). The application gave no visual feedback confirming a payment in the amount of $1500 was made after two attempts. This seems to be a software bug (usually I get a confirmation of payment). So I used the desktop browser online banking to make my payment of $1500. Everything seemed fine until the night of Friday the 18th into Saturday the 19th when $3000 additional were withdrawn from my checking account and placed on the card. Ironically the one time $1500 payment paid off the card in full. So what is now reflecting in my bank account is an overdrafted checking account of about -$2200 and a negative credit card balance of $3000 (in other words, they owe me $3000).
I asked them to fix this immediately and was told that it may take up to 45 days to be resolved. Initially the credit card portion of US Bank customer service implied it was my fault and that I probably paid ahead in anticipation of a large purchase with my credit card (not true). When I finally spoke with a professional banker, the service was better but I was told that I am out of luck. As it is near the end of March all of my future obligations to pay bills, student loans, and rent, may not go through my checking account, and I am responsible for all late fees incurred outside of the checking account. I was told that "eventually" they will reverse the $3000 overpayment and will not penalize me with overdraft fees. Is it really fair to me as a working class consumer with student loans that I must now face eviction and delinquencies on student loans all over a buggy iPhone app?
My desired resolution is: 1) US Bank does not operate and maintain an iPhone app that skips past a confirmation/rejection screen when a payment is made. Under normal circumstances, visual feedback indicates success or failure of payment. 2) US Bank immediately credit me the $3000 overpayment electronically as my balance showed up as a negative $2200 in the checking portion while simultaneously my credit card statement is showing that US Bank owes me money. There seems to be no detriment to US Bank to simply fix the problem now rather than placing undue burden on the consumer. While I recognize part of the error may have been my own, it is easy to document and duplicate the issue that I had with the iPhone app.
The iPhone app is not ready for the public. The banker told me that if one uses the iPhone app between the hours of 2 am and 6 am, errors like this frequently occur. Yet there is no warning that I know of from US Bank not to use the app at these times. I work 12 hour night shifts and I am frequently awake at night. If the banking services are not available, the downtime should be reflected the app with ample warning, visual feedback/a confirmation screen, etc.

No paperwork was sent to our house, just a letter telling us the loan number and that it had been sold. October 1st comes and we still haven't received paperwork to make a loan payment. Upon trying to log in online we can't make payments there because we don't have a statement to make payments from. No address to send a check and no documentation telling us exactly how much we are paying them. (We didn't trust that this would stay the same as when we signed the documents.)
We called the general 800 number and got through to someone who could help and the "help" we got was someone telling us that our paperwork was on the way, and we were finally able to make a payment. We've been making payments online until March 2016 when suddenly there's a $3.50 fee. We call to make a payment that way and there's an $11 fee to pay over the phone. The next day when we check online again the fee has jumped to $5!! What is this!!! I never thought I'd say that I wish our mortgage had gone through Wells Fargo.

US Bank issued me a Form 1099-C with the box # 5 checked. Which means I am personally responsible for the repayment of the debt. Which is not correct because the loan was non-recourse. According to IRS publication 4681 cancelled debt for individuals: Nonrecourse debt. It's a debt for which you aren't personally liable. You can exclude canceled debt from income if it is qualified principal residence indebtedness. Qualified principal residence indebtedness is any mortgage you took out to buy, build, or substantially improve your main home. I have reached out to US bank's tax department several times but they are the people who don't care to resolve the matter. I cannot file my taxes until I get the corrected 1099-C with the box # 5 is unchecked. My sincere advise, don't do business with US Bank.
