    I deposited my last payroll check from a former employer which had to be a paper check since it is their policy that the last one is paper. They told me that $200 was immediately available. I asked how long of a hold would be placed on it and the teller was new so she asked a co-worker. The two of them went thru a list of holds to figure out which one to pick. She picked a 2-day hold and said that since I deposited this on Saturday, the funds would not be available till Wednesday. I told her that the The Expedited Funds Availability Act says that since the check is under $5,000 that the remainder should have been released on Tuesday.

    They called the bank manager over who said that she can put any hold on it she wants and she could possibly place a 7-day hold on it. I called the main call center for US Bank and they said that a special hold was put on the check and she didn't understand why. She got the bank manager on the phone who said that it would be released on Tuesday. Tuesday rolls around and now I have items bouncing and the funds have not been released. I call again to US Bank and they were very sharp with me after speaking to the bank manager again who said that she will not release the funds before Wednesday and if I want her to consider removing the overdraft fees I can call her back tomorrow. No guarantees.

    She had the guts to ask me why I needed the money... really... Does she not need her payroll check?? It must be nice to be independently wealthy and working as the bank manager just for giggles!! This is what happens when you take a group of people who have no education whatsoever and put them in charge of our money. I am closing out all of my accounts with US Bank and moving them to my credit union. HORRIBLE BANK AND CUSTOMER SERVICE!!

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

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

    I'm a former employee...I will tell you the bankers/tellers are under ENORMOUS sales pressure to get accounts and lines of credit. They will try to talk you into opening a reserve line to avoid overdraft fees and instead of paying $36 you only pay half. What they fail to tell you is there is interest added on it if you don't pay it off. Like any other bank, you can also use your savings account granted you have money it. This reserve line also checks your credit. If you open a home equity line, the banker who did the process relies on you to use it within 90 days and keep a balance on it so they get 10% on. If you you have a 10k balance it, the banker gets 1000 points and they NEED this points to stay on top of the sales food chain.

    They really really want you to use mobile depositing. They charge you .50 per check uploaded through your mobile phone... All other banks have this option for free. All of their travel perks cards come with $49 annual fee. Don't let them tell you diff. EVERY personal banker can waive an NSF fee but they'll tell you have to go talk to the branch that you opened your account at. And if they tell you that you reached the limit for waivers, they can override it... I've done so many many times due to bad bankers not properly explaining things. Online banking allows you to get a text notification every time you swipe your debit card. The catch: your transaction has to be at least $10. Their rates SUCK. If you ever go to get a cashier's check or money order and your account type charges. A fee they will tell you the system auto adds the fee, but there is a way around it so they don't charge you.

    They GREATLY rely on shop scores, meaning if you get surveyed on their performance, and you give below a 5 star satisfactory rating in even ONE question, it brings their survey score down which means the branch doesn't get their quarterly payout bonus. If you ever go to an insider branch and you see an employee not doing a cash transaction, it because that's a new employee and they don't get access to transact cash unless they finish an 11 week online training course so they are pretty much useless and have no reason to be there. If your looking for an auto, just go to another bank. They have better rates.

    Bottom line: this is the worst bank to do business with and to work for. Their pay is below the industry standard. A lot of their bankers are either really old and failed at succeeding in other career paths trying to desperately to become a branch manager to make a 50k salary or they're really young and by young I mean 19... No other bank hires a personal banker that young. Also if you're getting quoted rates they have to have proper wording. For example your annual percent rate will be xyz, they can't say your apr will be.. They get in trouble for that if you report it. Hope this helps you angry people. I'm still dealing with hr for my wrongful termination. I hope they go to **!!!

    Approximately 2 years ago we asked to open up a CD account- we deposited $6000.00 into that account. We never touched it until we received a notice that the bank was going to charge us $34.00 a year service charge annually. Well we closed that account and put that money back into our savings. When we had our taxes done we found out that the teller opened a Roth IRA retirement account. So we got it with $750.00 early withdrawal penalty. What why. We trusted the bank to do right- they didn't even warn us about the penalty.

    Well we went personally to the Bank in Lake Elsinore to rectify. It was this last Sunday. The branch manager said it’s our fault for not reading what we signed. She said a few other things, her face was turning red and she was yelling at my husband. Wow, I told her not to yell at him and she said “well he's yelling at me!” I said “no he's not”. There was no reasoning with her, she more or less put it it's our fault for losing $750.00. Funny thing is we didn't withdrawal the money we transferred it into our savings. I want an apology for the rudeness and making me feel stupid and credit for the penalty!

    US Bank just completed a class action lawsuit in 2014. Why are they continuing this practice!? Lost my $70,000 a year job 5 years ago and year after year ran out of savings, retirement, furniture to sell, etc. going down to a $0 income, so near homelessness and have finally found a job just this week! I have watched every penny I placed in this account because I have to. I have had an issue every other month with US Bank! I'll just give you the latest escapade.

    On the 2nd, AVAILABLE balance at 9:30 pm was $64.05 which was correct with all of my known transactions showing pending, posted or held already from that balance. I had been driving on expired plates for some time holding my breath every drive I made. On Friday I purchased auto license plates for $66.30. Which should have left my account -$2.25 on the 2nd. Per their checking account info, any negative balance under $5 at end of business day is not charged an overdraft. I could now safely make it to the new job on the 2nd without getting pulled over and in 2 days would have my final unemployment check to clear the -$2.25 and survive until payday.

    When I logged into the fraudulent online banking system they give you on the day of my unemployment deposit, the 4th, I was a negative $169.91 leaving me with only $202.09 from my unemployment check. I'm holding off every debt I have but when I have money coming I schedule an automatic payment to them. Those bills would post the very next day eating up and taking away everything. I immediately called the bank. (I was just in there not 2 weeks before telling the most rude banker that I could not have the savings account anymore if they were going to transfer money then charge me for it or make other items bounce because of it, as I need every $.

    They transfer $25 from checking to the savings on the 2nd of the month, which during my unemployment I've had to directly turn around and transfer it right back to the checking account. I'm so close to being homeless. She typed on her computer and stated she changed the automatic transfers and rudely said "Next!" as in my next problem.) Now when I called her on this day the 4th, the savings transfer which never showed on the 2nd at 9:30 pm (which it was supposed to always pull on the 2nd) but was the first thing pulled before everything else on the 3rd. I told her she said it was "done" but yet it pulled again and prior to everything else that was already pending the night before, overdrawing everything. She flat out lied and claimed she didn't even know I had a savings account!!! I reminded her I was just in there in December screaming at her and the branch manager about the transfers.

    My mistake - I should have closed savings then but I thought when I left in December I would start doing daily screen shots of my online account and staple every receipt I get making sure the date and time show for each transaction. (Last summer I had a sunday afternoon walmart charge somehow get posted to the previous Friday’s business!! When asked the rude banker, she said US Bank had no control over when merchants turn in transactions!? IDIOTS! How truly stupid do I look??) When she lied to me I was furious! I went to another branch hoping I could find anyone who would explain what I need to do. The other branch closed my savings account but said I would have to go to my branch for anything else! So I decided I was going way up the chain. I've had enough! I've paid over $2,000 in the past year for misappropriated fees! I've only made $7000 for the year!!

    I called the bank to ask for the rude banker’s last name. The teller transferred me to her extension. I told her I needed her last name for the formal complaint I was preparing. She said I would have to go through her legal department to get it!? I said very politely "that's fine" and hung up. So NOW GET THIS - I get home from my new job that night and go online to check if anything else has happened with my account - daily screen shots several different times a day is now my new norm - and my account showed all 3 fees still pending with a $-3.75 available balance. I again checked the balance before going to work at 5:03 am on the 5th. All pending items were posted and the fees were gone leaving me with a positive balance of $104.25!! Hooray! I thought the rude banker realized I wasn't playing this game anymore and things were finally straight.

    I had back MY money needed to get to work until the first payday. Every penny I had spent was accounted for and the fees were no longer pending nor posted, they were removed! I stopped and got a breakfast sandwich for $5 and gasoline. I get to the office check online banking and both transactions were pending. Good all as should be. On the 6th I got a few groceries and again got a sandwich. On the 7th all previous overdraft fees were back and posted!!! And now the new transactions 2 of which are for $5 are going to bounce. I will have no first paycheck at all!!!! I called the St. Paul office and hit the fraud line! The gal was very nice and said there was a computer glitch and that she would have my bank look at it and call me. My banker said oh well! I said your computer glitch is NOT my problem!

    I paid attention to my available balance (which the rude banker swears is the problem I'm having with keeping my account straight) which said a positive $104. Now that I've made more transactions you're going to reinstate the fees and make sure I get almost $200 more in fees! This is just this month’s escapade!! I want this banker fired!! I think she sits at her desk and adds and removes fees and laughs all day long! Her manager is just as rude. I take in my screen shots and all they do is look at their screen which shows nothing like the online banking does and their numbers never match mine which are clearly shown on the online banking screen they developed! What good is online banking when your available balance is clearly nothing near your available balance?

    WHERE DO YOU GO TO FIND CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS? I read US Bank just finished one well, they are at it again so let's do something now! I have lived in 6 different places in 2 different states in the last 2 years. If any information was ever mailed to me from the previous suit, I never received anything. If there is anyone who knows of any suits I am on board!!!

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

    I disputed a fraudulent charge for over $300 on my US Bank credit card and they found in favor of the merchant. I'm so angry I think I'm giving myself an ulcer. $300 may not be a lot to other people but I am a single mom working two jobs and going to school full time, trying to give my daughter and myself a better life. I make less than $9 an hour and it would take almost 36 hours to pay this off. That's almost a whole paycheck for full time employees, I only work an average of 24 hours a week. That means almost a whole paycheck will have to go to pay something I NEVER purchased!

    What's worse is the merchant that my stolen information was used for, sends money to people who are incarcerated! So a criminal stole my info and my money to send it to another criminal and US Bank is making ME foot the bill. Jpay, the merchant my info was used with, refuses to give me ANY info on who got my money or even the facility it was sent to because I'm not the account holder! They're basically admitting that my card was stolen and used by someone else on their account, but to protect that person's privacy, they can't tell me anything! I have never disputed a charge on this credit card and make every payment on time every month. I have never had such horrible customer service! I will continue to fight this tooth and nail!

    In July 2013, I began experiencing a financial hardship due to a job situation that didn't pan out the way I had anticipated in 2012. I needed to take a different position with reduced income (half of what I was making). After exhausting my savings and selling personal property to scrape up cash, I reached out to US Bank to inform them that I could no longer carry a mortgage and its related expenses. I had to ask my family for help with making the August payment before I decided to stop paying in September. I wrote a "hardship letter" and submitted the requested paperwork. US Bank responded that they reviewed the information and would "work with me" on getting a short sale done. Well, their "working with me" ended the day they placed that response in their outgoing mailbox.

    Now in March 2015, US Bank has still done absolutely nothing to resolve this situation. My job and income remain the same, though I am fortunate to have something. Been trying to find a higher paying job, but the market here is not good. Throughout this ordeal, US Bank has rejected three cash offers, the highest one being in February 2014, which was only about $8500 less than the asking price. My agent and attorney's office sent in comparables from the same development I live in, but US Bank just ignored them. The BPO's and appraisals ordered by the bank are a joke and it wouldn't surprise me if they are fraudulent. The bank doesn't even have to show the BPO or appraisal reports, or prove how they are coming up with the asking price.

    I have read numerous times that banks (and Fannie Mae - another joke) are overpricing properties on purpose and foreclosing because they want to take the properties and get prospective buyers to use the Homepath program. In September 2014, US Bank decided to file for foreclosure. About a week ago my agent and I gave up trying to sell and removed the listing because the bank outright refuses to cooperate. The whole thing has been an embarrassment.

    I am in a tough time and I just want to move on with my life, but they want to continue holding me hostage and treating me like a deadbeat because they aren't making anything off of me anymore. I am very concerned that they are going to stalk me for the rest of my life by sticking me with a deficiency judgment. Thanks for nothing US Bank and Fannie Mae. Hope you enjoyed your taxpayer-funded bailouts.

    I have a saving account. It has a lot of money in it. BIG DEAL! So I often loan money out to friends, for them to buy a car, or a downpayment on a home or WHATEVER the heck I wanna do with MY money! Oftentimes I owe them because they did the same for me when I was younger. So anyway, EVERY single time I take large sums of money out I get asked 1000 questions -- "What are you doing with the money?" "Oh, isn't that nice?" "What kind of car?" "Where's the house?" YADA YADA YADA...And each time I put the money back into my account, after being paid back from my friends, I get asked the same CRAP! -- "So what are you saving up for?" "Does your savings come in spurts?"

    I want to go to the bank...I want to take money out, and put money back in, and I don't want to have to explain myself EVERY SINGLE DARN TIME I move a dollar around. I've had a hard life, I've worked HARD for my money. US BANK makes me feel like a freaking criminal. They ask suspicious questions, they don't respect my privacy at all, and they make me feel like I'm a nuisance, a suspicious nuisance.

    US bank is single-handedly the worst bank in history! This establishment is by far the epitome of white collar criminals. Forcefully having dealings with this bank establishment when my original mortgage lender sold my mortgage to them. Even more frustrating, all local banks closed where I live, leaving my only means of banking with them through a phone app or computer. They somehow conveniently lock me out of their system when my mortgage payment is due and I'm wanting to pay it. Then just like magic, I'm able to get back into the system after the payment is late and the late charge is attached.

    Now the skillful And understanding establishment will waive a one-time convenience. However, they have no problem holding you accountable for the 11 months remaining of the year, their late charges incur on my regular mortgage monthly payment! I detest this bank!

    On 02/15/15 I notified US Bank of an unauthorized auto renewal charge on one of my checking accounts. I was surprised that this could have happened since 1) the card that was used had previously been closed due to fraudulent activity; 2) the address used for the account wasn't mine; and 3) the phone number for the account was an old phone number. I was assured by the Fraud rep Tara that the charge would be reversed and the two pending legit transactions wouldn't be touched. My debit card was also closed with a new one ordered.

    On 02/18/15 both of the legit transactions were reversed. I called US Bank customer service again. I was frustrated and angry and wanted to know why the legit transactions were reversed and what I should do. Kathy the customer service rep was very nice but she couldn't help me. She tried to find a Supervisor or Manager which resulted in me being on hold for 45 minutes without luck. She finally gave up and transferred me to the Fraud Department in hopes that they could tell me why Fraud had reversed the legit transactions and what I should do. I spoke to Nai (employee id **). She had no idea why the legit transactions were reversed since no one had put in ANY NOTES; and then she said unless I was reporting fraud she couldn't help me at all.

    I notified both businesses that submitted the legit transactions. They "NOTED" my account and told me not to worry. They would call or email me if I needed to submit new payments. I transferred the reversed funds into my primary checking and waited to hear from the businesses. Well today (02/21/15), US Bank had re-debited the funds they weren't ever going to touch causing an overdraft. I transferred the funds back into the account zeroing out the balance. I also transferred all my savings funds into my primary checking zeroing out that balance.

    I will be closing out all of my US Bank accounts and going elsewhere. I have worked for both Bank of America and City Bank and have never seen such abysmal customer service. Those banks fire employees for failing to note accounts. The rule "if you touch it, note it" doesn't seem to be important to US Bank. And, if they're going to ignore compliance and transparency rules, I won't be doing business with them.

    I woke up this morning and checked my account to find that my checking account was negative $1,121.00. When I clicked on the account information page it had showed that I had a pending payment to my Credit Card of $1,406.01 from my checking account. When I had called the customer service department I was notified that I had set up auto pay 01/10/15. I reassured the agent that I had never set this up and if in fact I did then why would I set it up in the amount of $1,406.01. When I asked if it could be reversed since it hadn't yet gone through. He told me that I was going to have to wait until the payment was processed before they could issue it back to me.

    NOW... this isn't the first time that this has happened. 06/17/2014 I woke up to a payment of $806.46 from my checking account to my credit card making my account negative and was told at that time that it was already processed so they couldn't send it back to me.

    Last October I called US Bank to speak with someone about my reserve line that is suppose to protect me if I overdraft my checking account and charge interest. Not only does it charge interest but they charge you a fee to use the reserve line that is suppose to protect you from ridiculous overdraft fees. Anyway, while I was sorting that out the sneaky undercover salesman disguised as a banker said he had a screen pop up on his window and that I was qualified for. Cash Plus Credit card where I get these cash back perks and oh by the way we have a 12 month no interest offer on all purchases. Not just balance transfers but new purchases as well.

    I thought this was a great deal and confirmed verbally what I was hearing. Somewhere they transferred me to the credit card folks where we ran my credit and I was approved for the card and confirmed once again there was no interest for a year as long as I make I my minimum payments. I started using the card in December and come January I see an interest charge on my statement so I call and they reverse the charge and credit my account. They said It was due to the automatic payments I set up not being effective yet. Fast forward to today and I see another interest charge on my credit card so I call this time and now they say I was never offered this promotion and if I can produce it in writing then they will update my account.

    Not once when I applied I for the card over the phone (before or after they ran my credit) did they say that this was a maybe and I may not get the promotion. I didn't read the fine print paperwork they sent and that is my bad. The salesman pulled the smoke and mirrors trick on me and even today I had to conference the 24 hour phone bankers with the credit card group because apparently they can't communicate without each other unless the customer facilitates it. However the salesman Tim from their phone 24 hour bankers today even confirmed my 0 percent interest on the phone with the credit card people conferenced in before he hung up on us as if he didn't want to be cornered and put on the spot about the situation.

    Meanwhile I have $20k in debt that I put on this card instead of my HELOC to save the interest. So I am going to have to pay off the card and close out all of my accounts due to the bait and switch they pulled on me and won't provide the 5 star service they are so proud of. I have been a US Bank customer for almost 20 years and I will be closing all of my accounts with them shortly. I won't go into my attempt to purchase a car with them 4 years ago but after 2 months of the run around with them I went to the local credit union and had the loan approved and the car purchased in one day. I should have learned back then. I hope I can prevent one person from dealing with this by avoiding US Bank at all costs.

    Opening a new account with any financial institution has become a nightmare, but U.S. Bank lowered banking to a new low. Some three plus months after making two large deposits, we received a phone call from the assistant branch manager asking a number of intrusive and irrelevant questions about the deposits. When we refused to provide answers, they threatened to close to account. I told them to go ahead and do so, but nothing happened in over a month. Then a vague letter from an unidentified department said they would finally get around to following a customer instruction of account closure. Then, there was still further delay in processing even though there was a commitment to overnight to funds.

    In sum, inefficient operating practices and poor customer relations were this customer's experience at US Bank and I will not be doing business with them on any basis going forward.

    I initially thought this was a nice bank. When I had an account with this bank in California, customer service was great. When I moved to MO and decided to open an account the service was horrible. The tellers refused to cash my check one day, citing that I had a state issued California identification card (I knew this was a bunch of bs because I had previously cashed two other checks). I was also told i would be not be able to open an account because I didn't have a MO ID. The teller was extremely rude and unprofessional. I contacted the bank and asked for a manager who informed that I could open an account with a California State issued ID. I decided since I was treated so poorly at this bank located on Hampton Ave. in St. Louis MO, I will not be opening up an account. There is a Bank of America right down the street who value customers, treats customers with respect, and not like a common criminal.

    I took out a mortgage with a bank in September 2014. This bank transferred my loan to US Bank for servicing within 30 days of closing. Although payment date is the 1st of the month; everyone knows there is a grace period and you have until the 16th of the month to pay. I have another property and pay on the 15th of every month and have never missed a payment, since 2006. That servicing company does not call me or charge any fees when I pay online before the 16th. I get paid on the 15th of the month so it's just easier to pay then. Well, apparently not for US Bank. They start calling on the 5th. I am tired of the calls so I decided to go online and schedule payment for pay day. I was already upset that they suddenly charged me a $3.50 fee in January, but now they are charging $5.00 to pay online!

    What is worse, they have now inserted the most disrespectful question as a part of the process (why are you paying late?). The fees are absolutely shocking to me and I cannot believe a servicing company has the nerve to do this to consumers. However, the question on why I'm late, now that's uncalled for, when I am absolutely not late in paying my mortgage. I did not choose US Bank, but apparently I'm stuck with them. The only way I see myself getting away from them is refinancing with another company; which I cannot do because I only purchased the home in September 2014. Just horrible...

    My debit card was canceled due to 'security' concerns without any notification to me. I found out that a new card was sent to a vacant lot. I went to a branch to get the card sent to the correct address. When I get the card I can not activate it. I go into a branch and they tell me that I have to wait 4 days to activate it. On the fourth day, yesterday, I call and activate the card. When I try to use the card it is declined. I call the 800 number and I'm told I must change my pin before I can use the card. The rep on the phone walks me through changing the pin. The automated system bumps me out twice without working. The rep says that in addition to my social security they need the last four digits of my EIN. I give them this. It still doesn't work. I'm told I have to go into a branch.

    I just had the horrible misfortune of going to US Bank LM-NV-1031, 8410 Farm Rd, Las Vegas NV 89134 702-645-4160 and attempting to deal with a co-manager named **. I explained I've never gotten the card to work. He asks why. I jokingly say, 'Do you have three hours?' He says it obviously won't take that long for me to tell him. Since he was not in the mood for jokes I tell him that all I need is for this card to work, please. He checks on his system and says the card is activated and should work. I try to tell him that it was declined by Amazon (and I was going to say Facebook also) but he cut me off and said it was a problem with the vendor. I then explain to him that whole situation about this EIN that doesn't work, can he please just reset the pin. As I'm talking to this man he gets impatient with me, he raises his voice to talk over me, and he is upsetting me.

    I wait for him to reset the pin so I can just get away from him. He tosses down the card and says it's no good and he'll order me a new one. I ask him why he didn't reset the pin. "That's what I'm trying to tell you! I'm getting an error. I'll order you a new ATM card." But I'll have the same problem activating it. This *is* a new ATM card. He started to argue with me and I argued back, because he's not listening. I asked him TWICE to stop raising his voice. He said he was raising his voice because I was bickering with him instead of being quiet and listening. (Like a woman should? I don't want to go there, but that's how he made me feel). At no point did he try to rein it in so we could proceed like civilized individuals and resolve this matter. He just kept talking louder and accusing me of bickering. He sounded like a drill sergeant.

    Now I am in tears. I said that he must really hate his job if he treats customers like this. He scoffed and said, "Yeah, sure. That's it." I asked to talk to the manager. Of course he said, "I am the manager." Then he THREW, not tossed, but THREW my card and ID at me and said, "If you don't want to deal with me leave." Through my tears I managed to get a temporary card from him.

    The fact remains that there is some glitch that will not allow me to activate a permanent ATM card and going into a branch not only does not get this resolved, it gets me mistreated by the most belligerent people I've ever had to deal with. Meantime, my business account can not update vendors with permanent payment information so I can continue to conduct my business. I have had no choice but to go through the arduous task of starting over with a different bank. This is outrageous and should not be allowed to continue. US Bank needs to give their managers anger management and sensitivity training.

    First and foremost, I am a very patient guy. However, dealing with US Bank over the last 10-15 days with opening an account and making deposits has been nothing but a nightmare. Their process for opening an account essentially requires you to deposit money into it that will be on "hold" or pending for x amount of days until it is available to you.

    Furthermore, since it's now beginning business week 3 without a debit card from this account reaching my mailbox, I'm finding myself constantly having to drive to the branch to inquire about whether my paychecks that I deposit the week before have cleared or not (Three paychecks deposited so far, I'm paid weekly). I respect the whole security procedures needed to be taken to prevent fraud, but when it comes to having access to your money for bills & expenses, and wanting to have it all stored in a safe place for easy access (reason why I chose to move to US bank was because of how close they were from my home).

    This just isn't the bank for you initially, I'm sitting around patiently awaiting for my debit card and any information regarding that and then once my remaining funds that are still "pending" clears within "5 more business days", I will be closing the account and sticking with my original bank. I do not recommend opening a personal checking account with them at all. Way too many hoops you have to jump through just to get access to your own money.

    On Feb 22, 2015 I had my purse stolen. The moment I realized it was stolen I contacted them which was within minutes to report my bank cards stolen. As I was talking to customer service on the phone a fraud transaction that I did not make went through as they were cancelling my cards. It was for $50.00. They told me they would not charge me for this transaction even though they did anyway because my account was $50 short.

    Then they told me they would order me new bank cards and that I would receive them in 3 days. After 7 days I called them asking them where my bank cards were and they told me there would be an additional 6 days before I would receive them. Well 12 days later I did not even though I called them several times about this. It was like they were jacking me around.

    Then I went to my bank and they told me they could order my bank cards and have them sent there in 3 days and that they would call me when they arrived. This was on Monday Feb 2, 2015. On Thursday I called my bank again asking them when they would arrive because I thought they would be there by then. They told me again that it would take an additional 6 days to receive them and that they had cancelled my other card they sent to my home.

    How could my bank card be cancelled when they should have been there in 9 days? It was 11-12 days that I had order them. This meant they didn't order them at all and were playing games! When I asked other people how long it took to get their bank cards they told me 48 hours. In fact when I opened this account it only took a max of 3 days to receive my bank cards and another time that I was robbed 4 days.

    This has messed me up because I planned on going on a trip when my purse was stolen and had to cancel my reservations and I'm still planning on going on this trip nearly 18 days later that is if I receive my bank card by Monday! This has caused a lot of problems. I am thinking of suing them! This was only one problem I had with them.

    Another problem was they wouldn't answer my question about a suspicious transaction on my account. When I asked them over and over again about it they would release any information about it and even denied there was any such transaction even though the phone recording kept on saying I had a pending transaction of $58.88 that I did not recognize as mine! Later two weeks later I receive a overdue bill in the mail that I wasn't expecting. That they canceled when I canceled my cards which is not entirely their fault but this information would have been helpful had they not denied it was coming in.

    This is a bank that rob you in broad daylight. I mean thieves are better because they rob secretly. They charge a fee for everything, I mean literally everything. I cancelled my overdraft protection because they assured that, an overdraft fee will not be charged in case the balance went negative and they will simply cancel the transaction, only to find out later that they will charge another $36 fee just to cancel the transaction in the name of transaction return fee. And if you think that you can avoid this fee by calling them even before the payment goes through and ask to cancel the payment, you are wrong, then you have to pay $35 payment cancellation fee. They charge you for everything. And if you call a banker, they will tell you, you agreed to this and they can send you the agreement (yes 100-page agreement that you are suppose to read).

    Also, in the past 6 years, I have never delayed a payment on my credit card. Last month, I couldn't pay a $16.00 on time because I was travelling. It was late by only one day and the bank charged me $24 fine. They never reimbursed it. I mean think about it. I payed $24 for a $16 charge that was late by one day. Stay away from this bank, if you don't want money suckers to suck your money out from you. Wells Fargo is an alternative to these thieves.

But instead make it more difficult and tacking on fees for their services that you put your money in their bank. These big banks like US BANK forget that IT IS the CONSUMERS that put their money in THEIR bank(s) that give them the opportunity and leverage to a make money for their institutions. Yet, they won't help their customers with an issue but "That's our policy, see our account brochure" which is 100 pages long with type font of a pin needle and does not make any sense. Not only that, I was charged fees for using an outside US BANK ATM which did not process my transaction completely. That ATM did not indicate that I will be charged a fee regardless if the transaction was processed as incomplete.

    Also, I was a fraud victim through my account so I immediately reported the incident, got a new check card. I was instructed to fill out some forms they sent me and send it back to them by pre-printed address envelopes but somehow they did not receive it and I was not notified until they sent me two other letters saying that they would charge me for those fraud items. Then, I called and talked to one of the US BANK customer phone associates and discussed the situation. Immediately the associate said that when I first initially reported the incident, the associate processed the incident wrong and not correctly. Unbelievable!

    These type of businesses should invest in training their employees with proper and correct information to relay to their customers on an issue especially when I had followed all their instructions on the issue. That's why we don't need BIG BANKS. They are unethical/lack excellent customer service/incompetent and most of all no sense of urgency to matters unless it benefits them. These banks could care a less for the consumer as they live and prey on consumers by charging them FEES, FEES and FEES so they can profit!

Since January 2014, when they transferred our loan to the mortgage department, my payment is still made on the 15th of the month and with help from the manager of our local branch, have been able to get the insurance to make their payment by the 15th of each month because US Bank Mtg. told me they cannot post my payment until all funds have been received.

    In December I made my payment on the 15th of the month and the insurance payment was logged as being paid on December 15th yet they let my money set in a suspense account until after January 2, 2015. I don't know if this is a government issue or a bank rule that the money goes into a suspense account but I can accept that rule. What is upsetting is they let the money stay in the suspense account and I get called by collectors. I know my payment is made. I go into the branch and pay it on the 15th but the mortgage department won't let them post the payment. They must send it by office mail to the mortgage department.

    The mortgage department should have to process the payment at the time of payment. I have been told that my payment gets backdated to the 15th but I am tired of getting collection calls from people saying things like can't you borrow money from a relative when the payment had been made on time but not posted until I call and tell them get it out of the suspense account and post it to my account.

US Bank consistently made mistakes and instead of fixing the problems, they came up with tons of excuses why things went wrong. Virtually everyone at US Bank from tellers to managers to district manager showed the same low level of professionalism and competency. I've closed my account and would never ever recommend this lousy banking institution to any of my friends or family.

    I spoke to U.S. Bank on several occasions concerning my late payment on my line of credit, and their absurd amount of charges recently. This time they said they do not offer credits, or according to this senior banker "What is a Credit?" playing dumb, and that they do not offer them. However, as a customer of four years, I have received them before.

    Well last year, I went through the same thing, but paid off the entire account in one fell swoop; but according to one of their senior bankers tonight, they have no record of this. Apparently, after being told by at least seven employees of U.S. bank last year, that they do take notes to the account on what I have paid; that I'm a full-time student, suffer from bi-polar, and that I need help from them, this senior banker just said that He does not do that and played dumb making me even more frustrated saying that I wasn't making sense. Even though I restructured the question seven times over.

    This bank is full of lies, they do not care about us as their consumer, and they have caused me much emotional pain due to dealing with their all out calls, rudeness with handling my case, and blatant lies that they keep notes on the account of my personal details, in order to help the next banker who would happen to help me. I just don't know what to do anymore. I have to pay off a 35 dollar negative charge to save my credit, which was just charged today and treated like an idiot by one of their senior bankers. And, on top of all of that, they don't keep any records of my conversations with their employees even-though they said they do.

    Luckily I know they keep phone records of every call, and let me you tell you, it is not pretty even though I have explained to each of them thoroughly on my mental disorder, and each time I was told that they note it to the account. But then the next time I have to talk with someone, they say there isn't and never was a note. What's going on? I need answers!

    It seems that due to some late fees on my mortgage, U.S. Bank decided that they were no longer going to accept my payments until I brought my account up to date. Beginning 09/14' they started sending the payments back to me. Which I never received. The bank branch in Downey, Ca. kept receiving my payments up until Dec. Since their system doesn't tell them anything about the account, all they knew was that they couldn't use the system to make the payment so they would make a cashier's check and send it in, that way.

    I get a call 01/08/15 from the mortgage dept. telling me I'm about to go into foreclosure because I haven't paid a payment since Sept. I explained that I had made them and that I wasn't aware that anything was wrong. They said they sent letters and tried to call. Finally the person checked to see if I qualified for some arrangement to stop the foreclosure. I agreed to giving the missing 4 payments and additional money for the next 5 months. Turns out the the first installment is in six days from agreement for $12600. I didn't think it was an issue since I thought the bank could just reissue the cashier's checks because I never received them.

    The bank said I had to wait 90 days from the date of the last issued check! I explained that I had an agreement with them and I would just be returning them back to them. If I don't make the payment for the $12600 on 01/15/15, the agreement is null and void and I go into foreclosure! Basically they have the money which they issued for the cashier's checks which are going to their own bank just in the mortgage dept. So I'm about to lose my house because they won't release the money they have, so I can give it back to them, in order to not lose my house! No one in either the mortgage dept. nor the bank branch was willing to help me out. What can I do? Haven't been able to raise the money! Just waiting for them to lower the boom. They won't take a partial payment either.

    I contacted U.S. Bancorp to transfer an existing retirement fund into an IRA. I was dealing with a very nice young man who I was very comfortable dealing with. He took me through the process to open the account and told me when I received the check to attach with the paperwork return it to the bank and they would overnight to him. Three trips to two different branches and I still have the check in hand. The customer service and rude attitudes of the uneducated employees I was dealing with will keep me from doing business with US Bank in any form.

    I have been attempted to close the IRA account since Dec 04, 2014. It took two tries to get the check for the balance due on the account. With the receipt of the check, I assumed the account was closed. One month later I received notice that there was a $15.00 (or $15.10) balance. I am supposed to receive a check for $15.10. Maybe this closes the account and prevents additional fees. I would like a statement to that effect from Bancorp; but the customer rep says this is not possible. They have already charged a cancellation fee and I can only assume this can reoccur without an official notice of termination.

    As others have said here, there is a BIG lack of communication with this bank. I applied for a loan modification back in Oct 14. I received a letter back stating they were in the review process and would get back to me by Nov 16, 2014. Well, guess what? Nov 16, 2014 came and went.

REALLY!!! WTF, so I called again and finally got someone to answer. They told me to fill out some more paperwork and send it in since the paperwork they received was missing something. While I am on the phone I asked them what was missing and WHY was I not informed that something was missing. No response! I asked again and they just said they needed something else. So I faxed it in and called back to see if they received it. It was confirmed that they did receive it.

    Now today 1/7/15 no response from them in any form. No letters, emails, phone calls. NOTHING!! Since my loan is backed by Fannie Mae, I would think they want to help. I am doing everything in good faith, but they are not.

    Since opening this account I have had nothing but problems. They mixed up my husband's and my social security numbers on our joint account when we filled out our paperwork. They couldn't figure out what was wrong with the computer so they just put a hold on our account and if I hadn't gone in to see what happened they would have just closed the account without notifying me. Also, I have been in the bank on three separate occasions when it was empty, yet I had to wait over 30 minutes to speak to the manager (who was watching me struggle to keep 2 small children still the entire time).

    Today I decided to call a telephone banker instead and was on hold 20 minutes (granted it is a Friday). I had a fee I wanted reversed due to an unauthorized charge. The banker was rude, arrogant, and simply refused to help me. He gave me every excuse in the book about why it wasn't his problem. I asked why, and he said I had only been a customer for a few months and therefore don't have an established history with the bank. I asked "How long will it take to achieve the status of being treated like a human being rather than a number?" He responded with "Well, there's no set time for that".

Two days later our statement says we owe $2300. You call the bank and the recording says we owe $801. Then they tell me they can't speak with me because they don't have approval from my husband, which I know they do. We had issues with them before. In the statement it says we're missing Nov and Dec, however the print off from our bank has the payments, the dates and the confirmation number. I'm still in Limbo as I write this... What do we do?

    I believed at one point this bank outranked the rest, I clearly was only basing this on the employees that I grew fond of. The minute that I had a issue that needed resolution, this bank forgot I was their customer. First time was unauthorized charges. I called and had the same problem has the previous posted review. I had to repeat my information to each representative each and every time, which was about 6 times. Each time the next had no idea where I was to be directed nor were there any notes in my account to help. Second time, was a very similar scenario with horrible assistance in resolving the problem. Lastly, I initiated a claim for an atm transaction that had never went through. I had the "error occurred" atm records showing no money dispensed, and do you think anyone contacted to validate?? Not a single us bank affiliate! I received a letter stating that they had been in contact with the owner of the atm machine and they ruled in his favor and claim was "denied!" You can only imagine my frustration and rage at this point! Not a single phone call to ask for the proof or any contact whatsoever. I have since closed my account and urge no one to get account with them! They will never care about the customer only the money!!!

    I am not a member of US bank, but on Saturday, December 05, 2014 in Boise, Idaho, I used the ATM that is located in the Albertsons that is connected to the US Bank branch which is on Five Mile and Ustick. When I added my prepaid debit card to the ATM I was not allowed to input my Pin number because the ATM never left the home screen. My card was stuck in the ATM and I could not retrieve my debit card. I assumed that the ATM was not working since I didn't even get to input my pin number either. I called your 1800 corporate number and spoke to a customer service agent. I let him know my debit card was stuck in the ATM and I needed the card back in order to pay bills and etc. The customer service agent on that day could not provide me with a clear explanation on why my card had gotten stuck in the ATM. I asked to speak to a manager and the customer service agent stated "I can transfer you but they will tell you the same thing."

    As I waited for about 6 minutes I finally spoke to a manager in Portland Oregon. This manager did confirm my debit card was stuck in the ATM and that it would be placed into a drop box and I would be able to pick up my debit card Sunday morning the next day as long as I had an ID and could verify that was my debit card. Since this US Bank manager set an expectation that I would receive my debit card I left comforted that everything would be okay. It made me feel safe that my card would be there the next day. Sunday came and the branch in Boise, Idaho opens at 12pm. I went in and talked to one of your representatives and informed her about what had happened yesterday with their ATM and my debit card. This representative stated that the person that could open the ATM did not work today and they could not help me.

    Now, since I was told something else from your corporate office, I was expecting to get my debit card on Sunday. I am not even a member with US Bank, I was just a regular customer using the ATM to retrieve an allotted amount of money and I needed my card back. No one would help me at US Bank branch and the way I was treated was unacceptable even if I was not a member. I called the corporate office multiple times and nothing was done and now I was being told they would shredded my debit since I was not a US Bank customer. This situation became ridiculous and my brother came down and had to talk to the representative. We were asked to leave, but the representative kept speaking to my brother and I left to call yet again the corporate office. My brother was told we needed to come back on Monday to speak to the Manager. That he would be able to assist with the process of me getting my debit card.

    Monday came and I had to leave work to come and speak to the manager with my brother. We were told to come in at 12:00 pm since that would be when he would be here. As we waited for 30 minutes before he decided to show up to work, we were greeted in a hasty manner and he did not show any empathy towards the situation that had happened to us. Again, the way I was treated was unacceptable and I am not happy that any of this has happened. In the end, I still never received my debit card, even though that is what I was told was going to happen,. They couldn't tell me where my card was, and the only thing they could tell was that I won't be getting it back. They couldn't tell me why the ATM had not been working or anything and so I left frustrated that nothing was ever done to help me and I am writing this letter to let you know that I have filed a BBB complaint and I will be telling everyone about this. I am still completely shocked that anyone would allow managers and representatives to treat anyone the way I was treated. I hope someone will read this and I hope somebody gets some extra customer service training.

    US Bank Henderson Road Columbus OH. I have been banking with US Bank for 15 or so years. Things started out ok and they seemed to be accommodating when there were issues. However after about 12 years with them, things spiraled downward pretty quickly. I am a single mother of 4 children with a Bachelors Degree and half of my Master's completed. After staying at home to raise my kiddos for 18 years, I had to go back to work. I found a job on the first try making low income. When I started to have money problems, US Bank sucked me dry with overdraft fees, interest etc. The branch manager even threatened a bank co worker in front of my mother for depositing money into my account. After making deposits into my account with cash, they continued to charge me overdraft fees of ridiculous amounts which would make me go negative again. I have begun closing accounts with US Bank and also closed my safe deposit box.

    As soon as I am able to pay off my remaining accounts, I will do so and get the heck out of there and I will tell everyone I know to steer clear of US Bank. They don't want to help you at all especially if you don't have money. The office area is a mess, cluttered and unkept. I will never ever have an account with US Bank in my lifetime and neither will my children; it is poorly run and clearly the staff is not at all friendly.

    I had two accounts with US Bank since 1995 and since 2005 I have had numerous problems. If I have a direct deposit come in on same day as debits, they pay the debits before crediting the deposit which sometimes results in overdrafts specially if I have an autopay for something I didn't account for that caused a $36 fee. If it happened on a weekend, I'd get additional $5 per day charges in addition to the $36 resulting in thousands of dollars they have made from me over a course of 10 years.

    US Bank was involved in a class action lawsuit about this and they settled but they are still doing these practices in 2014. To solve the problem, my mother had an account with US Bank and we tried to do "pay a person" and the pay on date being the 1st they would mail a check to US Bank on the 1st which made my accounts negative. When I went into the branch numerous times, they gave me the "deer in headlight" look with just apologies. They wanted to link my mother’s account with mine as an ultimatum to reverse the charges and that's not what we wanted so the branch manager refused to reverse the charges. This was something USBank neglected to do and was their error; if on bill pay, someone states the "payment due" date, the check (which is ridiculous since we all now have EBT) should not be snail mailed on the "payment due" date when the account was already drafted the money on the "pay on" date. Again, this caused numerous overdraft fees they made $ on!

    We tried Pay a Person that they claimed to be quicker and more reliable but that not only cost a fee, it was through a third party and they deducted money from her account on the required day but I would not receive it to my account until 3-5 business days. Each month, a payment deducted from her account to pay on the 1st never hit my account until the 4th, 5th and a couple times, the 6th. Ridiculous!

    Another time I went to deposit a $4000 check into my mom’s account for her, no cash back, the teller claimed it exceeded her limit and needed my mom to physically be there! The manager was mean, short, and said it was policy! My mom went there alright but to close her account. I told this to my branch and she said, “it was just isolated,” so I did the same but with traveler checks I no longer needed and they wouldn't deposit them saying they "couldn't be verified" without the issuing person’s identification! Preposterous!

    Last straw; I have a credit card that had a credit line of $5000 and balance of $2,100. We had a power outage due to a bad storm. I went to the branch to pay on my due date. They said it would be credited that day even with the power out. I found not only a late fee but also they reduced my $5,000 credit line to $2,200 and also a default APR which brought me over my credit limit of the new $2,000. I called with the receipt of the payment to the teller, explained the outage and still they would not do anything. I paid the balance off a few months later. Kept the card with zero balance and then 1 year later called to get an interest rate lowered to meet an offer I received from another bank. The agent said she would meet the 9.99% on my card that had a current 16.99% rate they put me on at "default" from not my being late but their accounting error! I looked at my statement over the next couple months and saw the interest rate never changed as promised! Needless to say, I closed that credit account because USBank will NEVER make anymore money off me! If I add up everything in the last 10 or so years, I'd say they made close to $40,000 off me! I wish there could be a class action suit again that will cause them to no longer be in business!

    I had to switch my home insurance to a new company as my old insurance company decided to leave my state. So, I got new insurance and paid for it out of my pocket as soon as I signed up. So far so good. About a week later, I get a nasty letter from U.S. Bank telling me that they put an expensive insurance policy on my account that I will have to pay for unless I send them proof of my new insurance (which I verified with my new insurance company that they already sent out proof of insurance). But, I had them do it again per U.S. Bank's request. Then, about a week later, I get an email stating that U.S. Bank paid my insurance, the new insurance that I already paid in full when I signed up. So, I call them up. First, I was lied to and told that my new insurance company sent them a bill, not proof of insurance which was a straight out lie as I have a copy of what they sent (it was not a bill). Then, when I asked them to put that money back into my escrow account they said they couldn't, that I was just out of luck (out of luck from their own incompetence).

    Then, after escalating this to a senior call representative (who had to be the rudest person I have ever talked to) I got them to stop payment on the check (which the first person said was impossible) and put that money back into my account. However, this took a lot of time on the phone trying to get them to do their jobs (several calls over several days) and a lot of time for them to actually do the right thing. However, in the meantime, my property taxes were coming due and since they incorrectly sent out an insurance payment there was not enough money in my escrow to cover my property taxes. Thus, I went down like a responsible person and paid my property taxes on my own as there would not be enough money in my escrow to pay it. But, when U.S. Bank finally put the wrongly paid insurance payment back into my escrow account, they then tuned around and paid my property taxes (which were no longer due as they were already paid). So, I had to call U.S. Bank again, and again got an extremely rude person who told me that they verified that my taxes were due (a complete lie as I was looking at a receipt stating that my taxes were paid in full).

    I then asked them to put that money back into my account, U.S. Bank refused. I then asked to be escalated to a senior call representative. And, I got another rude person. Was only told that her name was Amy - would not provide a last name or even a last initial. I then asked to be transferred to a supervisor who again was very condescending and rude (her name was Kathy **). Not only did she tell me they would do nothing about their mistake (even though she confirmed that they never verified anything) and that I was just out of luck regarding my own money and that it should make its way back to either me or them eventually (eventually). I then asked her to escalate this situation to the next level. But, she refused. First, she said that if I got any madder, I would have a heart attack (I guess I am not suppose to get upset when they are wasting my money). Then, she kept saying over and over again that she was the last person, that she was the top person in all of U.S. Bank, that there was no other above her (so, I guess she is the CEO, Chairman, president, etc. of all of U.S. Bank).

    At this point I gave up and will just pray that my money gets back to either me or my escrow eventually (maybe by the time my taxes are due again next year maybe?). So, two conclusions from my own personal observations: 1) U.S. Bank's personnel especially their customer service people are either poorly trained, incompetent or they just do not care about customers (it is not their money they are playing with after all). And, to that note, 2) They seem to have no concern about your or my or their customers' money. It is just numbers on a computer screen to them and if they make a mistake with your money they do not care at all.

    Lastly, looking back even on the very first time I called U.S. Bank they answered the phone in a mad and rude manner. It must be that they screw up so much that every call they get turns out to be a screaming match. Think they would be better off if they just did their jobs properly, that is what I am paying them to do after all. Conclusion: If you can, stay away from U.S. Bank as your life will be better for it (way too many financial institutions out there that actually want and will earn your business plus it is so easy to switch these days) and if you can't like me as I cannot fire my escrow company then know that over the life of your home loan, U.S. Bank will make your life hell while you continue to pay at least 1% of your hard earned monthly interest to them just for the privilege of being treated badly by them.

My account is now negative $191. They charged me overdraft fees on things that had cleared my account DAYS before it originally overdrafted. It was like they rearranged my purchases to make themselves quite a bit of money. I'm disgusted with my employer, and the way that they treat their customers. I feel like I've been stolen from. I'm going to get a prepaid card and close the account I have open with my EMPLOYER. So disappointed.

    Multiple phone calls because I kept getting cut off for a simple request (bank statements). Their verification process if you are a third party or power of attorney is absolutely ridiculous. Horrible wait times, only to get transferred over and over again and get cut off repeatedly. If I could give them zero stars I would. I have a substantial amount of cash to deposit, and they could have been a potential institution I would have done business with. NOT after this experience. Stay away!!!

    I have experienced unrelenting incompetence in my dealings with US Bank Home Mortgage. Recently, my house burned and the insurance checks for the reconstruction of my home were made out to me and to the bank. They mishandled documents and sent the check to the wrong address. Even when I sold my house, I had to go back to their office twice to sign docs they lost. Unbelievable.

    My mother passed away and left money in her US Bank account. The account is in her name only. I filled out all required paperwork and gave them her last will and testament naming me her son executor. They refused to give me access to her account. So I made so calls to the county, the advice was to get more paperwork notarized, a small claims affidavit. Took this to the bank. Still refused to give me access. So I used the back door and used online bill pay. They then froze the payments before they were sent. Made several calls with zero success. If your elderly parents have or use this bank get out now or throw that money out because the Oroville California branch will not give you access to this money.

    I log onto my bank accounts several times a week. I logged onto my US Bank account (which I've had since at least 2001, if not earlier) on a Thursday about a month ago and saw an unexpected, pending charge for $30 from a mail order pharmacy. The charge had not settled yet, so I called US Bank to ask whether I needed to put money into my account to cover the pending pharmacy charge, as my next paycheck was to be directly deposited on the following day. The phone Rep with whom I spoke told me the pharmacy charge that was pending would not hit my account until the following Tuesday, so I did not add funds to my account that day. Lo and behold, the charge did settle overnight and overdrew my account by $7.00. For this reason, US Bank assessed a $36 overdraft fee against my account.

    I called the bank the next day to again discuss the charge, and they said this was my fault and they could not reverse the overdraft fee. I explained that I did not deposit funds to cover because I was explicitly told by their Rep that the charges from the pharmacy would not settle until the following Tuesday and that I did not need to deposit funds to cover since my paycheck was to be deposited on the next day. They refused to reverse the fee. I have had other bad customer service experiences with the bank these past 6 months, but they're too involved to type out. I closed my checking and savings accounts and am profoundly happier at my new bank. I wish I had done this years ago...what I thought was acceptable customer service at US Bank paled in comparison to the service I receive at my new bank.

    I opened a bank account with US Bank for the simple reason they have a big presence in my area. Everything was fine until one day I called my local branch here in Palm Desert. I had previously spoken to a customer service rep, on the phone banking line who was very professional and recommended I call my local branch so I did. I asked the assistant manager if she would be able to waive a fee - a very simple question right? Her response in a horrible tone almost yelling “OH NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!” VERY CONDESCENDING. I don't care if the answer that I received was a no. There is a right way to speak to people and a wrong way. She went on to reverse the fee I had already been given credit for by customer service. Of course this did not sit well with me.

    So I called the bank that following Monday and spoke to the manager her boss. He went on to say they would use this incident in training - when his answer to me should have been “I am very sorry”, and have that GIRL call and offer an apology to me. I went on to call the district manager here in the Palm Desert area. He also did nothing but he lead me to believe he would. Well soon after that I received a letter saying they were going to close my account - NO REASON. I called to ask why and the managers response was “BECAUSE WE CAN. DIDN'T YOU READ YOUR INFORMATION WHEN YOU OPENED YOUR ACCOUNT??” Horrible cover up for bad behaviors all around. My first thought was they must be Girlfriend and boyfriend and or it makes him look bad for not doing his job allowing NASTY PEOPLE WORKING WITH HIM THAT HAVE NO BUSINESS WORKING IN A BUSINESS THAT DEALS WITH PEOPLE. She needs to be in a back office alone - she is toxic. I would stay very far away from that branch.

    I have a US Bank card issued from my school. On November 12th I attempted to withdraw funds and was shocked to find no funds in my account. I called and was told that apparently someone had access to my card information and had emptied out my account. Checking online I saw that these transactions took place in either China or Mexico and that they had even used a foreign cash exchange. I was told by the rep. at US Bank I would have to fill out forms for each fraudulent transaction. I was also told that it would take ten business days to release temporary funds. They could not start anything until they received this paperwork. I faxed the info to them on Nov. 13 and have the confirmation work. Today, 11/19/14 I called to check on the progress. They stated they had just received my paperwork on 11/19/14. How is this possible when I faxed it to them on the 13th of Nov.?

    I then asked how they could say they just received the paperwork coincidentally on the same day I called. Where was it sitting from the 13th until the 19th. They could not tell me why. I then asked to speak to a manager or supervisor and they would not give me a name or contact number. They said the fraud department had told them they just received the paperwork. I then asked for a contact name and number to someone in the fraud department. I was told they did not have a number for them. I then asked how did they contact this department if they had no name or contact and all I got was silence. I intend to call someone in corporate and hopefully get to the bottom of this matter. I am now being told I might get my money back in early December. I am on a fixed income and now my family will have to help me financially and we can forget about our Thanksgiving dinner. It just makes no sense. Ten business days have gone from November 13th to sometime in December. I am talking about over $1000 dollars, which in my circumstances is a lot.

    It's sad that you have to resort to this in today's America, but it seems you even have to research each national bank before you set up an account. This particular branch will make you wait 5 business days before having full access to any paper checks, and in today's economy, only having access to $200 for a week while you're trying to pay rent, your phone bill, your driver's insurance, and food will simply not happen. As others have stated, my personal experience is that the national customer service line will solve no problem, refer you to the local branch, which will in turn act furious and rude and make you question signing up with them in the first place. My recommendation is to simply avoid. As soon as I have full access to my money, or as much of it as I can get, I will be taking my banking needs elsewhere.

When he paid by check, they made the check out to me. I contacted the company who told me cash the check. US Bank opened a new savings account. The check I was told had non sufficient funds. So I contacted the client to tell him to submit a new check. Then the next day when I went to an ATM to check my balance, the ATM ate my card, saying to call the bank. I did, and the banker told me the check had been modified and they are blaming me for modifying it. Then my other job paid me by direct deposit. US Bank closed my accounts. They said it would take ten days to rectify my account. They claimed two days ago that my account was cleared and a cashier's check for 623 was mailed. That was on the 10th of November. It is now the 19th, and I don't have anything from them. Also, US Bank made false check comments all over the banking system.

With the way this branch manager treated me, why would I open a new account there? Then I tried to call the company to report my concerns. Good luck with that. Their website makes it almost impossible to reach them. After finally finding an 800 number, waited on hold for over 5 minutes.

When I called the # on the usbankcorporaterewards website, they said if I didn't send a check for $4.50 to PO box 7235, Sioux Falls, SD 57117 that they might send this to collections -- but they can't send me a bill and there's no one that I can email. And I only got this information after insisting for more information, knowing of some likelihood that they'd do something behind the scenes.

    Also, they frequently put a hold on my card any time I tried using it anywhere but NY, even after alerting to them of my frequent trips to Chicago. They never send an alert or email, they just make you suffer on hold while your groceries melt for 30 minutes or more before they unfreeze it.

    I recently applied for a mortgage with the Lakewood, CO branch of US Bank and had a miserable experience. When I applied for the loan, I asked the loan officer to set the closing for a specific date so I could plan our move, and he told me that would not be a problem, as it was 5 weeks out. I was told right up to the day of the agreed to date we would close the loan then. We showed up in a new town with trucks and trailers full of our household goods only to find out we couldn't close that day since the loan was not through underwriting. In addition, the mortgage broker had made mistakes causing more information to be needed on the closing day, but the real problem was in the underwriting department. There is no communication allowed between the underwriters and the loan officers, so no one knows when a loan is going to come out from the underwriters.

    My attempts to work this issue with the loan officer management fell on deaf ears. I incurred large expenses, not to mention several days of missed work trying to move and certainly got no sympathy from US Bank. Mark ** and his staff should be removed and the underwriting department held accountable for their inability to staff their organization properly and put the customer ahead of their hypocritical processes!

I paid $25.00 for a police report and had the bank fax it. The claim was denied. The claim was denied because they said I was negligent. It was clear that I did not write the checks. One of the checks was written and the person signed their own name as the account holder. The date on one of the check was 9/25/14, it was cashed on 08/25/14.

Secondly, I wouldn't even know how to fill this packet out to begin with and do not have any knowledge of what is needed to begin with. I had to evict the renter that was living in the home at **. She was not paying the rent and her husband and grown children broke the windows and everything in the home as I have pictures and estimates. I went to court back and forth trying to get her out of the home and finally did November 2013.

    After going from Arizona to Michigan to court and fixing the damages that occurred in the home, 10,000 later, I realized this is not going to work. I am asking U.S. Bank to take the home back with a Deed and Lieu because the home has been fixed of all damages and I cant rent it from Arizona. The city of Grand Rapids Michigan requires an inspection be done in the amount of 250.00, and the cost of management fees is over and beyond what I can pay to take care of the home. I spoke to Maurice, Nikki and Danielle on 10/28/2014 at 7:30 a.m. and asked why the paperwork that was requested has not been received by me, they did not know. I asked what a dead and lieu and a short sale was and they did not know. I have recently have been medically sick and going to a neurologist and not sure what is going to happen over time.

Floors, painting, fixtures and bathroom (tub, vanity, floor, walls, shower, toilet, window, lighting, and vents) have been recently done in the past years and I have spent well over 25,000 to fix the home. I am not dumping a piece of trash that has been torn up on the bank, it has been well maintained, that is why I am refusing to let anyone rent anymore, it has caused severe stress as well as me having a nervous breakdown from everything this women has put me through. I lost my job in 2007 in Michigan and lost unemployment after six months, I had no choice but to relocate to another state, I did my best to hold onto the property hoping that the market would get better and I could sell it. I have had it for sale for 13 months and only got one offer for 76,900 and I would have to buy appliances for them as well.

    I have had a realtor for this whole time and need to work something out with the bank. How is it that some of us are eligible for a deed and lieu? And others are not? Short sale? What type of cooperate office are your running if a person is trying their best to work something out so that you get your money out of the home. I am losing money as I put almost 40,000 down and put over 37,000 into the house to fix it. After I bought it, the bathtub fell through the floor that same month and I had to sue the inspection company that inspected the home, due to their contract, I only received 1,000 to fix the whole bathroom that had mold behind the walls. I fixed the bathroom from the walls outward and there are no issues now.

    This house has been nothing but a nightmare since day one for me and my children, as I was a single mom. I currently do not have the funds to pay for the home, nor hang onto it anymore to sell it. I have had it on the market since September 2013 and it is still for sale. I have been working with Laurie ** with Five Star Reality in Grand Rapids Michigan **. The house is not worth what I owe on it and the market is just not there in Michigan, it has not yet recovered from the recession that was once in 2008, when I should have let the house go in the first place. I currently don't live near or around the home as there are no jobs in that area, I am not moving back anyways. I am trying to work something out with the bank so they have the home in their possession and I am no longer responsible for the home at **.

    With my current medical problems accumulating and my income not growing, I cant afford paying for two places when I have two children that I have to care for, one with disabilities. I do not get child support for my children and if I do, its little to nothing once or twice a year. I am tired of calling your Mitigation Department at 1-855-698-7627 and not getting any help, I receive your letters from U.S Bank every month for the payment but nothing else comes to my home. I am trying to work with the bank, whether it is to deed and lieu or short sale the property, it is much cheaper for the bank to deed and lieu the property and less hassle for the both of us.

    Please let someone contact me that can help me with this process, I am not sure of how the paperwork needs to be filled out and what needs to be included as there is no explanation of this on the phone, of course there is no packet that is sent to my home as promised. All they keep saying is your only applying for a deed and lieu, we cant make the decision whether you get it or not. What does that mean? That you don't do what is best for the customer and the bank? I am not understanding I need answers, PLEASE **

    I went to my local US Bank branch today to cash a company check (from where I work) also drawn on US Bank. Usually I have direct deposit but this was a pay out so was a manual check. The branch seemed to have no idea of what to do with this check. They called someone as I waited for about 20 minutes before I was then told that the check was not registered and they couldn't verify funds. I work for a large company that has dealt with US Bank for years. I am sure they have millions on deposit at US Bank. My work has told me that the check is registered. They told me this twice. I escalated it at my work and was told the same thing.

    When I asked US Bank if the issue is possibly on their end I just got a shrug of the shoulders. My next question was ok when will it "register". They didn't have an answer. Maybe try tomorrow but we don't know. Get this - if I just simply deposited it into the ATM I would have had $200 available immediately and the rest tomorrow. I called customer service to ask what the update time was. Again no clue. In fact she told me that the word "register" made no sense. So she called the branch who verified that was the word he used. She again told me, "I don't know, try tomorrow."

    A couple of weeks ago I had a money order from a Canadian bank. They wanted to charge me $90 to cash it. Oh and they had no idea how to do it either. Needless to say I took it back and went to my Wells Fargo bank (seldom used) where they charged me $5. And as someone mentioned below don't ever be overdrawn. I was overdrawn by less than $20 and discovered a $35 NSF fee and a $25 fee because I was overdrawn for more than x days. I highly recommend NOT dealing with US Bank.

    We have had a credit card account with Charter One for several years, and Charter One did not issue us new cards because our credit line was too high, but we have been paying it off faithfully every month with no problems. Now US Bank has taken it over. We still owe money on this account, but we do not have new credit cards from US Bank which is understandable and I don't care. However, when we tried to enroll for US Bank online payment website, they need either the credit card info, or a PIN number. Well we called to tell them we need a PIN number, we don't have cards, we don't want new cards, but they are refusing to give us online access to their website to monitor our account. I have used autopay for years online for all my bills, but US Bank is refusing to give us any online access because they said they are in the process of closing our account. Whatever that means.

    My husband has been on the phone for over an hour with these US Bank morons, being tossed around from one person to the next just to see if we can get online access. They sent us a bill. I have autopay with my checking account. They got our money, but US Bank won't let us go online to pay on their site, because I want to transfer over to their site. With Charter One, even though they denied us new cards, we were still able to use their website to pay and monitor. Pain in the rear end.

    They will find any way to charge you any fee that they possibly can and once you are charged, they will refuse to give you your money back, even when they know they are in the wrong. I had recently overdrawn my account - suddenly purchases I made days before start posting to my account and I had to pay hundreds of dollars in fees. I asked them when their end of business day was: lady at the branch and on chat said 2 p.m., lady at another branch said 6 p.m., man on email said 12 a.m., and same lady at the branch I opened at said I would be charged no matter on overdraws. This is the most clueless group of people in the entire banking industry. It literally feels like someone took $300 out of my pocket and every person has a different reason why it was taken out. But none of them say the same thing. I have requested to work with 1 individual on it, but they keep bouncing me around to different people. If I could give this place 0 stars, I would.

    I became a US Bank customer by default. I opened an account in 1976 with a great local bank, the largest in the area. Over time that bank was sold to a Minnesota based banking conglomerate which, some years later was acquired by US Bank. The "service" provided by US Bank is not local, not friendly, and I would say usurious in its treatment of customers. They take any excuse at all to charge extra fees without any notice that these fees may be incurred. They are slow to process transactions and do everything in their power to increase their profits at the customer's expense. I would not recommend this bank to anyone looking for banking services.

    Absolutely terrible. Don't ever let your account go negative, they charge your overdraft fees on purpose and you can tell it's just a way for them to get money out of you. I've never felt more taken advantage of in my life. On top of that it takes forever for funds to process, you get charge a 25 dollar negative fee each week your account is negative, and customer service phone support is rude. The bank has 0 sympathy for you. At least at other institutions they try and work with you to figure out a solution. This one = nope. Please please please, do not use this bank.

    During the Summer of 2014, US Bank acquired all of CharterOne's branches in the Chicago area. We hoped the transition would be smooth, but it hasn't.

    First was the issue of our address. We moved since the CharterOne account was opened, but we let the bank know (and ordered more checks). We got all the new account material mailed to our new address from US Bank, but for some reason, NONE of the US Bank branches had our current address. This became an issue every time we tried to get cash back from a deposit, since our driver's licenses didn't match the address US Bank had for us. It happened five times at five separate branches. We still don't know if we'll run into the problem again.

    Then there is the subject of monthly fees. I asked my local branch (in person) about the monthly checking account service fees US Bank charges. We were told by a branch employee that the fees would be waived until 12/31/14, so imagine our surprise when the fees appeared after only two months. The bank now says that whatever we were told before was wrong, and we will have to pay for the misinformation.

    We also had to argue over fees imposed because our local branch closed early one day. That prevented our deposit, leading to an overdraft. US Bank couldn't tell us why the branch closed early that day, or why a cash deposit at the bank's opening the next day wasn't posted for almost eight hours. They waived their fee to us, but we still had to reimburse a third party for overdraft fees.

    In short, the bank's central operations (Call Center) never really handles a complaint. They always punt the problem back to the branch(es). Those branches and their staffs are ill informed and unreliable. We have decided to close our accounts and find another bank.

    When I call in for help with personal banking issues, 8 out of 10 representatives are rude, untrained and /or uncaring about the customer. They hang up and no one at US Bank cares about how their customers are treated. In this day and age of emails, no company should tell their customers to write a letter to inform them of their issues with the company. US Bank is deceiving in how they treat their customers. Representatives will say anything to get the customer to sign a piece of paper. The most concerning of all of this, is there is not anyone who is willing to help the customer to resolve these issues. Where is the customer service part of US Bank that accepts complaints online? They are so overwhelmed with complaints, they would need to open another department because customer service is nonexistent. Poor management starts at the top. When there is no accountability, it is human nature for some to try and get by with as much as they can. US Bank lacks accountability for their employees actions.

    On (Tuesday, September 30th), I went into your downtown long beach branch to open/inquire about a new business account located at (LM-CA7199 555 E. Ocean Blvd. Long Beach Ca 90802. Unfortunately, your branch manager ** was very rude, unprofessional and condescending. She had absolutely no customer service and must be an inadequate manager because I rushed to the bank at 4:30 pm before closing. I sat and waited for her while she helped another customer and then she was on the phone. Before I could even ask any questions she asked me what she could help me with today. I explained that I wanted to open up a business account, and she stated that she wasn't going to open up any account for me because it was 15 minutes before closing. I explained that I had been sitting there waiting for her for over 30 minutes.

    As she rushed looking on the computer and began slamming papers on her desk and asking me questions. I asked her if she could slow down because she obviously was in a hurry to go home. I explained because she was rushing and so rude she was confusing me and in 5 min she said she looked up my business name and didn't see any records and she was sorry but she was making an executive decision not to open up my business account and I could try another branch. I am very disappointed because I have been a customer of US Bank for many years and this was customer service at its worst.

    In the past I have made online payments and in my rush neglected to immediately record the transaction in QuickBooks. The type of transactions I am referring to are when I use some sort of plastic (Debit/Credit) card for a customer's benefit that I have to get reimbursement. Later when reconciling my statement, I look at the transaction and if I don't immediately recognize the transaction to know which of my customers to create an invoice entry in QuickBooks, I generally have had to "eat" the transaction. It is true this does not happen often but when it has it is very frustrating and can be costly to me from both a reputation and monetary standpoint. Frankly I am shocked this was left out of your online payment system.

    What I need to happen is for US Bank to provide some sort of "memo" field on the payment that is stored with the payment, so if I later retrieve the payment I can see what the payment's purpose was. I know I am a small business that does not generate a lot of income for US Bank, but absent of some sort of memo field being added to the online payment, I will be once again looking for a new bank. Trust me when I say, the reason I came to USB was due to the monthly fees. The amount of frustration I have whenever the scenario I have described happens is simply not worth the $48/year savings I achieved by moving to USB.

    My house payment got paid to my credit card by bill pay. Not sure how the credit card got on the bill pay list as I did not put it there. I pay that through the account site. The credit card did a reversal for me and told me on the 10th that I could go ahead and pay the house payment as the money would be back in my checking account by the next day. Seven days later I still had not seen the money, although they did take it off the credit card so I did not have access to it. Then I was told it should be in the account the next day or at the very latest by Friday. Well... you guessed it... Friday rolled around and by the end of day there was still no money. I called again on Friday and was told that I could talk to a supervisor (who never called back). Today I am told that now I have to wait until next Friday to see if they have put it back into my account. I guess they think I have lots of money and can afford to let them just keep it... what's one house payment more or less.

    I have called many times and spent (conservatively) at least 6 hours on the phone getting lied to, transferred without warning and hung up on. I have spent at least 2 hours each time I called and most of that time involved being transferred from one place to another. Everyone I talked to told me that it wasn't their problem... then transferred me to someone else who told me the same thing. When I said I didn't want to be transferred, I got hung up on. The customer satisfaction survey at the end of the call only works if you don't mention that you are going to fill it out. I've noticed that the reps prefer that you hang up first... that way you can't fill it out. I see that most of the people who fill this out have given them only 1 star... not surprising. Too bad we can't give them negative stars.

I went with him and told the loan officer he didn't own the home and I didn't want him to have the loan. The officer argued with me and said since we were married he could get the loan. I again told him he was wrong. He went ahead and did all of the loan paperwork in just my husband’s name. Three days later he phoned me and said that I was right and he needed me to sign the loan to my title, (sign the mortgage). To be clear, the house is in my name alone, the loan is in his name only. He met my husband at the house and when I got home from work they asked me to sign the papers. I'm not sure but I think my husband already had the money. Since I still had a young child at home, I had to sign it. They gave him another loan the next year. The papers on that one are written very strange.

    I went to the bank every year after they gave him the money and no one would talk to me about it because I was not on the loan. Fast forward to 2012, my husband deserted me and quit making the payments. The bank would not talk to me. I could make a payment but they couldn't tell me how much that was!

    First and foremost, DO NOT TAKE ANY CONSUMER LOANS OUT WITH THIS BANK! You are asking for trouble if you do. Pure and simple, this bank and their personnel are totally and completely inept. To add insult to injury they are one of the most rude and arrogant group of lenders I have ever had dealings with. I have had countless loans over the years with other lending institutions, all of which have been paid off on time and without any issues. Not so with US Bank.

    My problems began with an auto loan I took out earlier this year. After my down payment and the processing of the load paperwork, I received my first monthly statement for the note, which I paid on time. This occurred for the next two or three months with statements and on time payments. Then, out of the blue, I received SIGNED AND NOTARIZED paperwork from US Bank releasing the lien from the obligations of the loan. In addition, I was sent paperwork with the auto Title which was transferred to my name. I was confused by this paperwork and began trying to make sense of it and contacted both the dealership where I purchased the car as well as US Bank. The dealership referred me to customer service at US Bank. No one had any answers or explanations as to what was going on.

    I sent four or five written communications with copies of the documentation I had received to US Bank and did not hear back from anyone for weeks. Statements stopped arriving but I then began receiving rude and very threatening telephone calls from US Bank. Each time they would ratchet up the threats and they had begun to put negative marks against my credit. No single person would take any responsibility and try to figure out what happened and how to correct the mess that they had initiated and caused.

    When I thought I had finally had a person that could work with me to correct the problem and remove the negative credit items I was transferred to another "manager" and now to their "recovery department". No single person had any ability to take responsibility, to explain to me what had occurred and what they were willing to do to correct the mess they caused. I am still in limbo with all of this and have spoke to one attorney who urged me to fight them. Obviously US Bank has much deeper pockets than I do so fighting a company like that as a private party is impossible, even if they are at fault with all of this.

    AGAIN, I STRONGLY URGE ANYONE TO AVOID DEALINGS WITH US BANK. You do not want to end up in my position. What a mess they have caused. This will impact my credit rating for years to come.

The first 6 months of my lease, I had to call each month for assistance to make my payments, and typically requiring management intervention! I tried their website, phone calls, finally resorting to old school paper billing. US Bank was so slow processing payments, I had to send payments 2-3 weeks before they were due. Then mid-lease, they changed their PO Box and accused me of not paying. After again speaking with management, my check was miraculously found and processed. My lease was ending in October, so I began looking for my next car. I was at a dealership, called US Bank for the payoff information, and was refused! Even the dealer was shocked. Again, I had to get a supervisor to get the information. This was the last straw!

    I traded out of my Cadillac right there and then just to be done with US Bank. Now 2 weeks later, I get an inspection notice suggesting I owe for 1/3 inch too much wear on 2 tires at $237 each and for a 12 inch dent that wasn't there. They agreed to drop the dent charge, but now hit me with a $500 termination fee - I have NEVER! Now a total of $974 for a car under mileage that I no longer have. The notice states I have the option of taking care of these issues myself, but now after speaking with US Bank Corporate office, that's not even an option...probably because the car has already been auctioned off.

Being pretty young at the time, it was my first experience with a credit line, so I did appreciate the opportunity to build credit. I have now had my same checking account/credit line for the entire time that I've been with them. My credit card, originally a USBANK College Credit account came with a rewards system and a $400-500 limit.

    After 4 years, they transferred my credit line to a non-college line which cancelled my rewards but did nothing for my APR or credit limit. They transferred the credit line without notifying me -- I was notified "post fact" in a physical letter telling me of the changes. Now, after 6 years of having the account, my credit limit is $600 and my interest rate is 18.24%. Despite good to very good credit ratings, I cannot seem to improve upon this interest rate. I refused to cancel the account for so long because it was my oldest credit account (which helped my credit). I have finally decided to cancel it because of how poorly it stacks up with other experiences. It has been my worst credit experience.

    Checking-wise, I have had mostly good experiences with USBank. Their "hold times" for deposited checks tends to be longer than experiences with other banks, but for the most part everything has been fine. I have been incorrectly overdrafted, but speaking with a customer service representative over the phone has corrected this. My experiences with USBANK customer service over the phone has been excellent. The most egregious experience with checking with USBank -- one time a teller released balance and transfer information to a person who was not on my account. I considered this extremely unprofessional (but it was also an individual mistake) and contacted the bank, where a supervisor apologized immediately.

    I now have a credit card with Wells Fargo, which has consistently better credit limits, interest rates, and policies. I have an online checking account with Ally Bank, which I sing praises for. Ally Bank does not have physical buildings, which may concern some, but they also provide interest on checking accounts and give you perks like free ATM withdrawals almost country-wide because they have no physical locations. Although USBank is upgrading their facilities (They have made sweeping upgrades to mobile banking and online services), they are still out of date.

    My husband passed away 5 years ago. My name was not on the account but is on the title. They accept my payments but do not turn into the credit bureau and then about every 3 months send me letters that my account is 2 or 3 months behind when I have all of the proof of my payments. They will not discuss anything with me which I understand, but I cannot keep paying them the extra money every time they tell me this. I do not know what kind of lawyer I need to contact. Any suggestions????

    Relationship banking!!! I opened up an account with US bank. That was the first mistake. I had a cashiers check deposited into my account. We'll when I went to check my balance most of the money was gone. So I call the bank. The pleasantly nice man on the phone tells me. "Everything is ok, they have to hold the funds for 5 days. We have to 'build a relationship' for the first 30 days." OMG I'm screwed.. but "it's OK" he tells me!!!! I go to my branch in person to the one who set up my account. (Also really nice.) Neglected to tell me about our HUGE RELATIONSHIP issue. They held my money when I needed it most. 7 days later, still no money. I go to the branch manager to discuss our RELATIONSHIP problems. I ask "Can I cash my paycheck here?" "Is it a US bank check? If not we have to get though this 30 day build a RELATIONSHIP part." (AS THEY HAVE ALL MY MONEY).

    I can understand some checks but my paycheck comes from a company most of you spend money at. HELL!!! The bank is in with my company. US bank has credit cards with my company. (My company is a great company I've worked with for over 17 years). The bank operations are actually in my company where my paycheck comes from. If that's not a "relationship" WHAT IS. US bank is a dinosaur bank. If your system can't tell good checks from bad ones (ours can) you need an update. If US bank told customers about this relationship banking before they opened an account there branch office would be even smaller than it is now.

    Second mistake I made. I signed up for a secure visa card. 7 to 10 days to process your request. 3 days 300 dollars from my account. Wow that was quick. I wasn't expecting that for 7 days but that's ok. Now I'm waiting for my card.... waiting... waiting, still waiting. So I call. It will be there in 3 weeks. Make sure you read all the small print crappy company's use. If you want to have a credit card that's good and money in the bank BUT BE BROKE. US bank is for you. I can't even close my account because they have my money. If I did that in reverse I'd go to prison. Lol. P.S. I HAD TO GIVE STAR TO SEND THIS REVIEW. MY REAL STAR COUNT IS 0.

    US Bank has a DESPICABLE mortgage department. They are HORRIBLY rude, arrogant, and unhelpful. They are so disorganized they can't keep anything straight. When they moved to a new office, they said "We didn't bring any of our files from the old office so we have no record of your home insurance coverage". REALLY!!? We pay our flood insurance annually and always on time. Every 6 months, they slap a flood insurance policy on our mortgage and say that we aren't covered. It is 3X more costly than ours, and takes at least 4 months to straighten out. By that time, they have collected extra interest for the additional loan amount, which they don't return.

    The last time, they "refunded" the added loan amount - not the interest - to an escrow account, which we cannot access, so now they are collecting even more interest every month on our increased mortgage. This has been going on for 4 years. Last year, we sent them 13 copies, and our insurance agent sent 4 copies, of our PAID flood insurance policy, but they still claimed we were not covered. Now, they have started with our homeowner's insurance. They notified us that our policy is not valid because when we got the loan 4 years ago, they put my name first and my husband's name second.

    Our insurance, like most financial records, lists the husband's name first. They have threatened to add homeowners insurance charges to our mortgage now because the names on this JOINT insurance policy are listed in the opposite order from the loan. This is not an escrow account, it is added to the actual mortgage. I am shopping for a new loan, but it costs several thousand dollars to refinance. In addition, they have made many mistakes in our checking accounts.

    We have to watch them very closely every day. I got a receipt when I made a deposit - in person - to my savings, and when I got the bank statement, it was actually put into one of our checking accounts. My friend's US Bank checking account was automatically totally emptied by that bank every day for two weeks. She had to check it hourly and call them to fix it, and they were very rude about it. I recommend using any bank but this one.

    I have banked with US Bank for 9 years. In July a charge was made to my account without my knowledge that was several hundred dollars. This obviously threw off my finances. I use their automated phone line to check balance. This week when I called it stated I was $30 overdrawn so later that afternoon I deposited $45 cash. The following day I again checked my balance via the automated line and it said I was $70 overdrawn. Odd but I rushed to the bank which is an hour from where I work and deposited $100 cash at 5:00 p.m. Today, two days later, I checked my balance again via automated line and it said I was $6 overdrawn due to a $36 overdraft fee being charged AFTER my two deposits.

    I called Customer Service to see what was going on and clear up the issue. After speaking with a seemingly helpful lady and waiting on hold to see if the OD fee could be reversed, the call was disconnected. I called back and could not speak to same rep and the rep I got was very short and rude. He told me it was too bad and my fault for not asking what the "cut off time" for deposits was at an ATM. I explained it was made to a real human in the drive thru. He told me fee would not be waived. I asked to speak with his supervisor as the previous lady seemed like she could get it done. Second man came on and was equally rude saying it is MY fault for not having money in the account and yes he understood I'd been a long-time customer but too bad for me because he would not waive the fee keeping me $6.00 overdrawn until my automatically deposited payroll hits Friday just like it does every two weeks.

    I will be closing my account with them as soon as they finish "raping" me with their fees this week. I am SO disappointed and frustrated that this is the way they help long-time customers.

    We have a home loan through US Bank for a rental property we keep. Earlier this year, we went to apply for pre-approval on a mortgage, and found that my husband's credit had been significantly affected because US Bank was reporting he hadn't been paying his mortgage. We were shocked, as we paid the minimum payment every month, on time. Later, I noticed an issue on the site and realized what happened. When you click on a loan and look at the minimum payment, it says one amount. When you click "Make a Payment" under the loan, it says a completely different - and higher - amount. See print screen images below. It would only take a few months of mis-payment for the payments to get behind and show as not having been paid. US Bank is responsible for our inability to get pre-approved for a new home loan. You would expect such a large bank to have their website figured out, what an incredible, incredible oversight on their behalf. I'm incensed and don't even know where to start to right this wrong.

    I spoke with a customer service agent of US Bank over the phone and she transferred my phone call to resolutions department as she was not able to help me within her power. As resolutions department agent took over, without even hearing my questions, pushed sassy attitude towards me and started teaching me how to live and take care of my finances. Above and beyond she even told me to go to the branch to be taught how to use the online banking tools. How disrespectful is that? I find it very offensive and very disrespectful, especially when I call these people to help me with my issue and also these are the people I trust my money with!

    I had to stop her from disrespecting me. It is the worst customer service call I had. She did not even hear me what I needed help with, did not even try to listen and the most and worst did not even try to help me! I asked her to show me some respect and to do her job and listen at least. Let's forget about customer being always right, but where is the first priority of customer being heard??? Following with her life instruction, she finally listens to what I had to say and what was the issue. With or without words to say she tells me that online banking is not reliable whatsoever. I should be responsible for my balances on my own. She literally told me online banking is not reliable and I should be keeping track of transactions on my own = writing them down one by one.

    First of all, if the online banking is not reliable, why are we being advertised and suggested to use it? Second of all, which era are we living in? I'm pretty sure or at least was hoping that I was not in the old days of cowboys shooting in the streets when customer service was not even an idea.

    I do online auctions and have success 99.9 of the time with most companies. Around June 9, 2014 I realized that there were some lots that I requested to be taken off of because my overhead was nearing. So I emailed the company like it states on their website front page; bid mistake, email xyz - Like I have done a dozen times with other companies and including this company prior to this auction I have been acknowledged and bid removed. I glanced briefly at one of the pages that had an item I was double checking my max bid of and I acknowledged that one of the lots that I requested removal from was satisfied. I never thought to even check the others because who on earth would do such a thing. So 40 plus hours later I receive an invoice with the lots that were the most pricey and had more of a positive profit to auction company I was left on and other small invaluable lots like shovels with low profits I was removed from. I was livid and appalled.

    I immediately advised them that I had realized what they had done and was offended and by no means would I allow them to take advantage of me. Since they wanted to manipulate the bids and choose for themselves the lots I should be taken off of versus all the lots I requested then therefore I would be choosing to exercise this same practice. I was going to pick up approximately 500.00 worth of the items and made sure I excluded the lots I specifically asked for removal from. I asked them to verify this email and to send a new revised invoice showing only these items. I waited.

    This continued for over 2 weeks and at last without one single call or email to coordinate picking up per an appointment which again their website boasts this and these rules are numbered. I could not take any more of this complete disregard and told them after the second debit to not debit my account anymore - And since I cannot get a revised estimate and or a response to any of my allegations and requests that I would not do any dealing with them and I would continue protesting charges they debited my account for in the amount of 1,000.00.

    I waited for US Bank to send me forms and nothing. So I called and I asked them about statement forms and said have they mailed it and they said no. I said well should I not receive this and explained an experience at another bank that had much lower transactions that sent these forms to me and wanted back. They said no - nothing in notes but to check back every few days. I was concerned but thought ok I guess they do it differently. On Thursday August 31 my husband calls and says why is our account in negative and what did I buy. I said nothing, I will call bank - I did and they were extremely evasive and rude.

    They offered me nothing except to call back during normal business hours and that they would at that time relay my message to the processor. I said wait a minute I want to talk to this person that is charging my account and reversing my dispute. I was told that I am not allowed to speak with the claims processor and that I cannot have their number or direct line. That it all is done through the customer service member that answers my call!!! Sounded completely outlandish that they will not allow me to talk to the person that is making these decisions on my money!

    I received a letter in mail from this processor Jenna ** and was told that due to the information that they got they were not able to help me and so therefore they were reversing the temporary credits and recharging me. That I would have to take up with merchant. They ignore me and won’t even respond to my demands when all this transpired. I called again and the rep was more tart and rude and said that she didn’t know why but she would forward a message to Jenna and have her call me but she didn’t know her schedule so I could be anytime next week because they have 40 hours to give people a call back!!!!! I was and am appalled.

    I reread this letter and it stated that if I did not return a dispute to this reached decision that I would have no recourse. They are attempting to set me up to lose my money because they do not care about me or my money. The only thing that is important to them is that they do not pay this. I cannot believe the bank is treating me this way. I do not have any merchandise nor did I once receive any contact from owner on a time I was to come pick up merchandise. This too is part of the numbered rules on their front page. That the auctioneer will arrange pick up times and that this must be done two days after auction ends. Also if shipping is done the buyer would be charged.

    I received nothing from this company nor did I receive any forms phone calls or concerns about my welfare and my ability to get help from auction house and my bank has left me feeling stressed and so very uneasy. I cannot bank with a company that will not do what it can to protect me and do it promptly and efficiently. They put no value in my customer status and I am fearful that if I stay it will only worsen; I will be looking for somewhere else to bank. I am so upset that they have treated me in such ways that it brings me to tears with frustration and the feeling of being completely disregarded and misunderstood.

    US Bank needs to take disputes and valid complaints from the consumer and protect them from unscrupulous unprofessional companies. I did respond with a form that I downloaded from online because when I talked again to two different people Friday and Saturday they said the processor had to send it to me and that I would have to wait. That it is not the right form online because my claim has started. I retorted well since you do not have the initial form I should fill it out to be in alliance with Visa and all the rules. She refused me any forms and told me I’d have to wait. What a bunch of garbage. They are total game players and say so many idiotic things as their reasons for doing a, b, or c that it is nauseating just to pick up phone in fear of what lie or excuse or round about thing they will tell me at this call. I need someone to care for the customer. I did nothing wrong. I have been wronged.

Instead, they took 25% of each check until it was paid off (non-negotiable). If they knew this was going to be the process prior to discontinuing the product, they should have proactively informed their customer base months prior to provide ample enough time for other arrangements.

    The last straw was this week. They cancelled my debit card without warning me due to a "security breach". I go to use my card and it's denied. I call into customer service who explains the security breach and that a card should be in my mailbox that day. Keep in mind, I get letters, statements, etc. for US Bank weekly.

    As a long time, LOYAL customer of US Bank for almost 9 years,, I THOUGHT I had a relatively good experience with them... until recently. I noticed some strange activities on my account here and there, only once in a while, but enough that I called and questioned it many times. I even spoke to several different branch managers. What I noticed were charges, whether pending, some transactions were not even on my statement yet, some were paid and completed, then I would check my account a day or so afterwards, and dates of transactions were CHANGED.

    There were a couple times I saw this was to US Bank's advantage so they could charge a bank fee!! When asked, the question was either ignored or avoided. One customer rep DID ADMIT they do this and when she told me, she was whispering! Kind of funny, pathetic, though too. This problem has recently spiraled out of control on my account. Additionally, something happened to me, personally, and unfortunately many aspects of my life were affected badly. I contacted US Bank right away, thinking it was the right thing to do, & since I have been a good customer for many years, I thought it was important to maintain a god working relationship. Ha! I am now closing my account. I am going to the bank to discuss the issues and their practices. The entire story obviously is not here. Maybe it sounds like I bounce checks all over, but I don't, at all. To go over the entire story is too personal.

    I'm DONE with this bank taking advantage of low to middle class WORKING people. I'm not looking for a handout or sympathy. I just believe EVERYONE should be treated equally regardless of how much money you have. People who happen to have money are not better than ones who don't have truckloads of it. Whatever happened to honesty, integrity, compassion & caring for one another? Moral fiber counts for nothing these days I guess. Honestly, it never did, did it? It's money that impresses people. Money makes people think they're better than everyone else. Money even makes POOR people think they are worthless as human beings! It's ridiculous. It's sad. Now this bank, (I referred SO many people to) has zinged me but good, and what can one little person do against a BIG CONGLOMERATE? Who do you think wins? Yep! The one with the money and the power! Certainly not me!

    People may think money gives them power and respect, but watch how quickly you are left alone when the money runs out. It's much better to give someone a kindness, just because, share some love, because you are rich in that, maintain your integrity, because it's the right thing to do, and you will find, you will always be wealthy beyond your wildest imagination. Too bad those creeps running this bank and other creeps in big businesses are too stupid to figure this out. It's so simple. Every person that is able to justify arrogance, or "kisses up" to someone because they have a big bank account, or is capable of being incapable of humane, I truly want to say thank you to every one of you. Because you ALL remind me exactly how I NEVER WANT TO OR WILL BE. Daily. So thank you. And to US Bank, I will be sending a lot of reports regarding your bank practices and I will find out if changing dates of transactions is legal. Hence, you may, or, may not hear back on this subject.

    Terrible Customer Services - Kyle (CS Rep) and Teresa (Supv). We have BIG banks acting BIG and losing money. There is a reason why. They acquire the smaller ones, and lose the fact that they EXIST because of CUSTOMERS. Kyle is simple example of how U.S.Bank trains their customers. VERY poorly, since he is argumentative, not supporting a customer migrating from Charter One, and NOT having the attitude to listen first to a customer. They do not have Online Transfer Features like Citibank or Charter One or Chase Bank, and have an attitude of a Trillion Dollar Bank and Website. In the end, I have 4 accounts at U.S.Bank that just transferred over from Charter One, and they will ALL BE CLOSED down. Not sure why anyone would keep accounts at these banks when the smaller ones are still out there. I am NOT SHOCKED to see that U.S.Bank has 1 Star rating when I got to this site. I think 1 Star is being NICE. Since I am going to give ZERO STARS to them (which would be a step above ANGRY)! While I end this review I am on hold for 63 minutes to get a RESOLUTION EXPERT(!!!!). I am enjoying the wonderful music, and spending their 1 cent per minute of their 800 number toll call.

    We have been with US Bank for over 20 years. I am pretty much bound to them as a bondservant since they were causing fees from their various sneaky practices, not the least of which was recommending "Overdraft protection" which turned out to be a loan shark racket. But the latest is that a friend was wiring $450 to us. He went to his bank, Navy Federal Credit Union at 3:15 pm on Thursday July 3rd and my husband called our bank, US Bank that same day and they told him, no problem, it should come over the same day. Well, we checked the account online everyday, a few times a day and it took till Monday, that is 5 days, for it to come in. So we told them we will do Western Union from now on if they can't do better than that.

    I have a car loan with US Bank. I mailed my payment to them in the form of a money order. The payment was mailed to reach their office by the due date which is the 25th of the month. They called my job to advise I didn't make this particular payment. To make matters worse, they called my supervisors phone line with this false statement. I had to go to the Post Office to have the money order tracked. That took about 3 to 6 days. I finally get a copy of the money order in the mail. Not to my surprise, the money order was endorsed by US Bank.

    I immediately contacted US Bank to let them know my payment was received by them. The very rude customer service representative nonchalantly says and I quote "yeah received it. It probably got lost in our mail room.".... I was puzzled. On top of losing my order, calling my supervisor's phone, and making a false statement about my payment, they charged me a late fee. I asked the rep why I didn't receive a call about my payment being located. She arrogantly replied we wouldn't have reason to call but we will waive the late fee. I advised her the late fee was not legitimate. I asked her to write me a letter of apology. I never received that letter. I pay online now. This bank is the worst. I have 8 payments left.

    I had my primary checking with Charter One which recently was bought out by US Bank. I received no less than 8 different documents from US Bank about the changes, new card, etc. Most of the information provided was not helpful. What a waste of paper. They lied and indicated that all direct deposits would still work with the new account (they didn't work). They also lied about not having to change checking account numbers and mailed new checks only a week prior to the change-over, which was not enough time to notify employers, etc. of the changes. Then, to top it off, they processed my online bill payments 2 days prior to the due date, and I discovered that they didn't transfer over the past months of online statements. I spoke with 3 people on the phone at US Bank, all three told me that I could get a copy of last month's statement by going to a branch office.

    I went to a branch office and they were clueless and could not produce my May statement. I spent over an hour at the branch trying to get someone to help me. I plan on dropping this bank this week. Charter one customers: do not stay with US Bank. Very different experience compared to what we had with Charter One.

    I am a 39 year old black man. On, 06/25/2014 @ approximately 5:30 p.m. I noticed my wallet had been stolen. I immediately (@ 5:45) went to the US Bank branch @ 1960 West Main Street, Mesa, AZ 85201, located inside Safeway to place an instant hold on my debit card to avoid any unauthorized charges. What happened next could only be described as racial discrimination.

    I approached a white female I believe to be, Nicole, sitting at the end of the counter. She advises me that I needed to calm down or leave or she will call the cops. This statement was completely unwarranted, as I frantic over the theft of my wallet, but in no ways was I belligerent to the staff of US Bank. Baffled, I replied, "I am the customer." She then proceeded to berate me. Then she had me write me social security number down on a piece of paper, then without advisement went to a side office and made a phone call. I waited for 5-10 minutes for her to return. When she returned, she aggressively instructed, "You need to take a seat!" Then, "we can handle this 2 ways. Either you can sit down or I'm calling the police."

    I then got me phone out to record any further exchanges, as I could see she was being very calculating and villainous. I asked the representative to repeat herself. She then said, "So you're wanting to record us?" I answered, "Absolutely." She then said, "I'm calling the police" and picked up the phone and dialed 9-1-1. I quickly left the store before my impulses got the best of me. Finally, I arrived home and called customer service to have the hold placed on my stolen card, only to be advised my account had been closed and I would receive a cashier's check in the mail. As a result of Nicole's racially horrible and pernicious behavior, I am now without access to my funds which has left me in dire straits.

    I went online to do some research on some banks. I emailed US Bank in Sioux City, IA. I was emailing back and forth with a banker there. I was told to come in and sign the paperwork for the account. I was never given any information on fees, direct deposits, bill pay, overdraft protection, anything about setting up the account. I was told by 2 different reps that my check (because it wasn't direct deposit) would be held for 24 business hours. It was held for 5 days. I paid bills online and got several overdraft fees.

    Interesting enough, I didn't give anyone permission to put me on overdraft protection. I also was told again by a banker and a branch manager that there is no cost to transfer from savings to checking. Interesting enough when I told them I was charged $15 transfer fee because I did over 6 transfers, they then said that's a law and every bank charges that. Really, never have I paid this fee with any other bank. So I guess there really is a charge!! I called and spoke to the branch manager and she kept saying, "Well its in the new account information packet." Hmmmm I was never given one.

    As many complaints have mentioned, I was also charged an overdraft fee when my account balance was positive. The first fee put me in the negative about $6. Then, they charged SIX MORE overdraft fees. The fees totalled $216. I called to see if they could refund any fees, which they did. They refunded ONE fee, leaving me at $177 in fees. THIS IS CRAZY. So, when I called I mentioned that I thought it was outrageous, and the customer service agent told me that my point was "invalid".

    This is what pissed me off. No customer's point is invalid, and what horrible customer service! When I asked to speak to their supervisor, he flat out told me no.

This took my balance down to -116.80. If they had not taken out the first fee, one of the 2 transactions would have been covered and I would not have been charged one of the second 2 fees.

    As a first time customer, I got my auto loan approved through U.S. Bank in March 2014. My experience in such a short amount of time has been abysmal to say the least. In both April and May, I have been wrongfully charged TWICE for my loan payment due to the incompetency of your customer service reps. The customer service every time I call is unfriendly, rude, condescending, and unhelpful. Because a US Bank representative told me my direct deposit for my car loan would "take a few months" - I called the pay-by-phone service to make my car payments AHEAD of time. I came to find that I was double charged $355 TWICE in April and TWICE in May. Costing me $710 extra dollars from my PNC account. Unacceptable! This double charge caused me a great deal of inconvenience with PNC; a bank I've had a good relationship for nearly 10 years.

    The double payments not only caused me to overdraft, but accrue $36 FEES every single day because U.S. bank didn't recognize that I was paying for my car loan twice each month. Even worse, when I called, TWO representatives told me that I would need to get it taken care of through PNC and that there "wasn't much they could do" and "it could take up to two weeks to refund you on our end." Considering the discrepancy and double charge was on your end, this was beyond maddening.

    After spending two hours of my work day going back and forth with disrespectful US bank reps, I had to go into PNC and speak with a Senior Manager. He was appalled that US Bank suggested that it would need taken care of on PNC's end. At one point, he had to get on the phone with a US Bank rep (named Carrie) who continued to tell him that going through US bank would be longer for me to get the refund. As a customer, this experience was one of the worst I've had to date. Three hours of my day and a headache later, I ended up filing a fraudulent investigation through PNC to complete the refund since Carrie at US Bank insisted that it needed to be taken care of on PNC's end.

    Thankfully they were much more helpful and will hopefully get me my $710 back into my account sooner rather then later. As someone who is a Senior Supervisor for American Express, I am baffled at the way I was treated and spoken to by the US Bank phone representatives. Carrie told me to "Add more money into my account" because "that's what she would do if she were in my shoes." I have never been spoken to this way in my life and I am not the type to write a complaint of this length. I left feeling completely drained, frustrated, and horrified by the entire US bank experience. I absolutely HATE having my car loan through US Bank and will look to get it approved elsewhere. This type of service and customer treatment is unacceptable and I will be sure to tell everyone I know.

    As someone who works for one of the biggest and most reputable credit companies in the world, if our reps treated customers the way yours did, they would be terminated. Now I sit and wait up to 10 days for PNC to refund me the money that US bank so wrongfully charged me for. After trying to pay my car loan AHEAD of time, I ended up OVERPAYING because US Bank is too incompetent to realize that I already paid my loan for the month!! $710 every month when my car loan is $355. I am beside myself with how I was treated and will do everything in my power to alert others as to how you do business. My lease will be cancelled through you and my business will go elsewhere. Learn how to teach customer service because I am yet to experience anything positive from your bank!

Moreover, the merchant stated they cannot do split transactions (cannot enter $18.33 and then allow the customer to pay the difference), although U.S. Bank set the Visa gift card up this way. This makes it fairly difficult to clear a balance out on one of their cards.

In addition, U.S. Bank doesn't really have anyone at their local branch to assist you I'm told, to walk you through the steps on removing pmi from your loan.

I get on my online account and am $600.00 in the hole. I went and spoke to them again and they said the motel put all the money back in my account and the next day withdrew it again minus the deposit. They need to make a few changes.

    I am getting really livid with US bank. I have had an account with them for 11 years. Within the last year their practices and customer service is horrible. I had a line of credit and after one day of being late on a payment, simply because payday had changed and I had discussed it with them, they lowered my credit available. After having to give them all my information again like rent, income debt everything it was restored. Then a year later, I made a payment online on the day it was due, it sat in pending for the whole weekend, even though I paid it on a Friday before three.

    They again lowered my credit available. So I said nope, I am not reapplying to get it restored and wasn't going to have them keep doing that and risking my credit score to be lowered because of their dumb practices. I am still paying on it after a year of it being closed and feel I am going nowhere. So I asked if I could transfer to my credit card with them, to consolidate my bills and my credit card with them is a better interest. They said I couldn't do that because it was one US bank product to another, but the funny thing is when I opened it three years ago, I had transferred a balance from a US bank product.

    Now all of a sudden I can do that. Now skip to having a full time job position being eliminated and having to take a part time job because I couldn't find anything else. Thought part time was better than no job. Well after 8 months of struggling (single home owner) and trying to make ends meet, I figured I needed to find a full time job. Found one, did the whole job switch, previous job doesn't pay PTO out for four weeks after you quit. Did not know this so I was unable to make a payment to my credit card. So I called them right away, told them the situation. Told them I would pay them as soon as I got paid and told them the date that I would be paying it.

    This is my only credit card and I use it for emergencies. I don't have a landline, only a cell. I am about a week from payday and my phone completely takes a dump. So I run to my cell provider to get a phone so I can contact work of something happens or even if i driving and something happens. Need a phone. Well my card was denied. I called customer service and they told me that the only way that I could use it again is if I make a payment. I told them that I had spoken to so and so about it and she was going to note the account. So basically even of you call them ahead of time to give them the heads up about a hard time, they will still cut your funds off. Thank God it was just a phone and not me needing a toy or something.

    Again when I had called, I asked for a supervisor when the lady was telling me they cant push anything through until I make a payment. When I asked for the supervisor she said that when you transfer the call drops, I said why the supervisor can't come to your desk, well I am in Kansas and the supervisors are in north Dakota. Awesome. No wonder the call centers get away with so much bs. Also, she said she could take my number and a supervisor would give me a call back within two hours.... Yep going on three and a half and still haven't heard. Looks like I will be paying them off as much as I can and as soon and I am going to look for a bank to understands that people can have a rough month and not able to pay on time.

    They have no grace period what so ever even though I have good credit and have had good standing with them up until a couple months ago, when the ripple effects of my job wasn't working for me. Not friendly, not helpful and no understanding or compassion for people. Not to mention that when I pay online it sits in pending for a couple days. So I now have to pay early to accommodate the pending forever. Had to learn the hard way of paying the morning of the day it was due, which was a Friday and it sat all weekend long in pending till Monday. Getting tired of the way they do business these days and will be looking into a different bank/credit card company and or credit union.

    US Bank recently transferred all of their home loan from US Bank to US Bank Home Mortgage. I have been with US Bank for over 10 years, and have always made payments on time. Since they have transferred my account to the home mortgage center, it takes anywhere from 7 to 10 days to post my payment whereas in the past it took 2 days from receipt of payment. I get calls every month asking where my payment is, which is annoying since my payment is sent in well before the due date. Somehow it always shows up on the last day before a late charge is applied. They blame it on their slow processing center.

    I have asked to talk to a manager or someone in the processing center and they will not allow me to talk to anyone else or provide a number where I can call to elevate my concern. I pay extra principal every month to pay my loan down sooner, but when they don't post the payment for 7 to 10 days after they get the check I am paying interest on those 7 to 10 days. Over the life of a loan 7 to 10 days extra interest every month adds up to quite a bit of money. It sure looks like they are deliberately holding the checks to get the extra interest every month. How can I get them investigated for possibly holding payments to get extra interest?

    US Bank frequently closes my account for every piddly detail if they suspect fraud. For example, today I was at the grocery store and got groceries for $300. I then paid for $60 worth of items and the card was declined. They locked my card due to fraud and wouldn't release it! After going to US Bank and proving I was indeed in possession of my card (and I have a $800 limit before they are supposed to suspect anything) I went to the gas station 3 hours later. Again, card was declined. I called and they said it was because that gas station seemed "shady"! It was a Walmart gas station that I had used several times before!!!!!

    This has happened several other occasions. They never call to verify, just shut down the card. I have had 4 cards without calling me once to notify me. Once I was out of state with no other funds (it was an emergency) and they said they needed to reissue me a new card. How can I get that out of state?! Even the local US BANK was furious. I have had other cards and other banks but their fraud department stinks! Buyer beware! Don't count on having your money when you need it!

    DO NOT LEASE ANY CAR THROUGH US BANK! I should have read the thousands of bad reviews before I signed the lease for my 2011 Buick. I should have read the super fine print (vague as it is) on the back of the lease document. We all get caught up in the moment of the new car smell. Here is just a few ways US Bank will nickel and dime you to death.

    39 month lease = you pay for 9 months of vehicle registration you won't use. If you want to return the car at the end of the lease = extra $395 termination fee. If you want to buy the car at the end of the lease = extra $350 purchase option fee. Two vehicle inspections = the 1st one at your home to scare you, a 2nd at the return location to really create some profit for the lease department. My 2011 Buick is now 39 months old and should have 39k miles on it (it only has 30k which means nothing to them). Their 1st inspection "revealed" $1000 worth of damage ($250 of which was for an oil change, A $250 OIL CHANGE?).

    I called US Bank and complained to no avail. Their "excessive wear and tear" clause on the lease document is so vague that they have the power to claim anything. She showed me pictures of the damage and we both couldn't see anything. She even said, "Dents are hard to see in pictures". I asked about the $250 oil change. She said that was a standard fee for a warning light. I told her the light clearly says "change engine oil soon" and that could be anywhere from 1 week to 3 months. The Buick manual actually says that under the right conditions, engine oil can last for one year. She didn't care and stated the policy of US Bank is to discard perfectly good oil if the light is on.

    So US Bank is also out to screw the environment. She also said that there is nothing they can do until the 2nd inspection is done and I receive a final bill (after the car is out of my control). I drove the car to the Buick dealer and he made the following statements: An oil change is $40; I can't even find $10 worth of damage on this car; US Bank won't allow him to buy the vehicle outright. We don't use US Bank any more.

    I have had a US bank credit card for 10 years. The card is mainly used by my teenage daughter who is out of town. I have never paid late. This past month, I noticed I did not get a paper bill so I went ahead and sent them $2000 on 3/19 electronically from my bank. Tonight when she went to use the card she was denied. I called US bank and they claim that they did not receive payment even though when I check my bank records I have a confirmation number that they received it today. Further, they are not interested in the number or me faxing them this information and only want more funds from me even though they can't release the hold on the account until tomorrow. I should also mention that I am not over my limit.

    When I asked why I did not receive a paper copy of my statement they said that I have not received a paper copy in the last 7 months. This is not true, in fact, I had to set up a log in tonight just to access my statement when my daughter called about the problem. How would I have known what to pay all these months? The bottom line is that Nicole ID** was unable to work with me, would not transfer me to a supervisor and does not care that I am going to close my account tomorrow. After doing a simple internet search, it looks like I am not the only one complaining about this bank. Banks are a dime a dozen and I wonder if the CEO, Zach Boyers realizes that his minimum wage employees are chasing customers away.

    I put my home up for sale with a very reputable Real Estate company in Virginia due to an employment transfer from my employer. Us Bank denied all offers. They also denied short sale and every other way we tried to sell my home. It was foreclosed on in 2012 by them and sold to the Veterans Administration on November 4, 2013. They purposely left the home in my name after they foreclosed on it in 2012 just to punish me for them having to foreclose and my filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy so they could not try to make me pay the difference of the sale price and what was owed on the mortgage. As a result I am not able to get another VA home loan until a year after the November 4, 2013 sale date.

    They should be banned from VA Home loans as they have the rudest customer service people of any other company known to man and the mortgage industry. If I had the money I would retain an attorney and sue them, but living on social that is not an option. They have chosen to destroy any chance of me getting another VA home loan anytime in the near future. My wife and I were trying to get our home back as it is on the market for less than I originally paid for it. Another point that I would like to make is that I was never late on any mortgage payment ever.

    I made my final payment and closed my account in November. Little did I know the payment got posted the next day, which made the payment technically late. Since that date, US Bank charged me every day that I didn't pay the late fee and I never thought to look because I thought the account was closed. I never received an email or a phone call about this, and I'm assuming they were just hoping that I wouldn't notice so they could finally get a ton of money from me from collections. I ended up paying $185 in late fees. This was only on a $135 original balance. I will never bank with them again.

    I had closed my business account rc-remodelers at the end of February 2014. The lady that closed the account her name is Mary. She works in the Bolingbrook IL. office of Rt.53 in Bolingbrook. Mary ask me for my credit card & took my credit card (rc-remodelers) and said you will no longer need this card, so she cut it up for me & said that the account is closed. About two weeks later, I go back to the bank know I have a new business mind you Da handyman. I opened this account in October of 2014. I have a check for 800 dollars made out to Da handyman.

    The teller that's been cashing my checks every time I go to this branch tells me that they can't deposit the check because it's made out to Da handyman. So I said, I come in here sometimes 2- 3 times a week & we never had this problem before. The teller then said I need to talk to my branch manager (Ray). (Ray is about as dumb as a box of rocks). So now Ray approves the Check. Now I'm thinking wow, what a bunch of nuts. So then the teller tells me oh by the way your Rc-remodelers account is still open & your account has an overdraft on it. So I ask to talk to one of the bankers.

    I get to talk to Ray, I tell him that is account Rc-remodelers was closed back in Februray 2014. Mary closed it, he said its still open. Then I said can you please close it. So he tells me that he will & I leave the bank. Now two days later, I go to US Bank in \to Meyers food store there. They have a US Bank branch. I talk with a person Brandon **, very smart person. I ask Brandon can you tell me, is this account rc-remodelers open? He said yes & you have a -228.50 in the account. So that means Ray never closed this account.

    So now I have a charge that went through my account. There's no money in that account I get charged with two late fees from US Bank. I was pissed. I asked Brandon can they waive the fee & please close this account. So now Brandon tells me he can't waive the fee, I said call Ray at the Branch on Rt.53. So he calls to talk to Ray & he was able to waive one fee of 36 dollars. I'm still upset that Ray messed up my account with the rookie Mary & I got the short end of it. Also the other account Da handyman we had to close this account & re open it so it reads Da handyman. On the old credit card it reads Da handyman but in the computer it reads Robert ** that's the account Mary opened. So people don't bank at the Bolingbrook Branch on Rt.53.

    I have had a mortgage with US Bank for almost 15 years and have paid on it faithfully. A month ago, I received a statement that showed I hadn't paid for 4 months and I owed for those payments, plus more than $2000 in fees. I spent at least 3 hours on the phone (at work), being transferred from department to department, but I couldn't get anyone who knew anything about what was going on. I finally took half a day off from work, because lobby hours at our branch are 9:00-4:00 (real good for people who work full time during the day). The customer service rep in the lobby told me that nobody from mortgage was onsite. I brought 10 pages of cancelled checks, US Bank receipts of my payments and bank statements that showed my payments had cleared. The only thing she could do for me was fax the documents and call the same damn numbers and endure the same wait time that I did.

    I called again and was finally told that my loan was transferred to a different branch, so I had been given a new loan number. They are in the process of crediting my account with now 5 months of payments, but it might take a couple more months. US Bank had been accepting payments to an account that didn't exist anymore! God only knows where the money went. When I try to pay online, I can't, because it still shows that I am 5 months behind. I can't pay with a check at the local branch for the same reason. I have to pay my mortgage with cash, while I wait for them to fix their problem and wonder if the person on the phone who told me that I am current is telling the truth or not. I don't want to re-fi, because I only have 5 years left, but if I could I would. STAY AWAY FROM THIS BANK!!!!

She was eventually promoted! This was acceptable because we lived in a small town and didn't have quality people to work for them (because quality people end up leaving to go to work for more respectable companies).

    After I was paid my final paycheck (which was paid to me before I ended my last day with the company) I got a call from the HR department several days later stating, "oops we over paid you, sorry about that." How does that happen when I fill out my own timecard? (I expected another check since I'm still working). It's called retaliation for quitting! They told me I owe them $150 back or I will go to collections within 10 days! Then I decided to close my account and that's when it got worse!

    I was paying back my cash advances and they didn't post electronic payments for 5 days and charged me $25 for extended overdrafts. I asked for it to be waived and the misinformed, disgruntle, under-paid employee on the phone told me she couldn't help me because they have already waived $138 in fees in the past! Soooooo not true!

    I called and talked to her supervisor Michael and told him of the situation, he said that there was nothing he could do and started misinforming me of the Cash Advance Agreement that even he was misquoting! All he did was argue with me and belittle me on the phone and made the decision not to waive the fee immediately! Also, they made the cash advance due BEFORE the agreed date so that they can get me for yet another $25 fee! Their fees are so excessive!

I told her the check cleared my account and that I needed to know who I dispute that payment with and she told me I needed to contact my bank. I explained to her that I have ordered a copy of the cancelled check and that I need to know who I send a copy of it to to show that my payment was made. She again insisted that I have to dispute it with my bank because they haven't received a check (sigh). She then hung up on me. When I called this morning, I again had to explain my situation 4-5 times to the woman on the phone and was finally able to get a fax number out of her. They are the worst bank I have ever dealt with

    I have a mortgage and credit card with US Bank, and I regret every minute I have to interface with them. I pray for the day I can refinance and get rid of them FOREVER. They hire what seems like completely untrained and ineffective, minimum wage workers who half the time can't even forward you properly. I want to make a mortgage payment, they send me to auto loans. I ask for the pay-by-phone number for credit cards, they redirect me to some insurance salesman's desk. US BANK SUCKS. Period. They also randomly change the due dates on credit cards, so you wind up living in stress in fear of missing payments. They shouldn't be in existence. AVOID US BANK AT ALL COSTS. YOU'LL HATE YOUR LIFE IF YOU GET INVOLVED WITH THEM.
