US Bank

I also bank with US Bank and waiting for 1/31 for direct deposit transaction to happen and then I want to close my account and open at Huntington Bank. US Bank never helped me and are fraud. When I was in the overdraft not long ago, I did everything to put some money into my account so I am above so I am in plus with my account. by the time I got home and went on internet banking, I was in minus again because they withdrew the money from my account and I asked when at the bank in person If I was ok and so did the balance show that I was...in solid $300 good. I got home, I was under 100 meaning in overdraft and I had no auto pay...from my account...they took my money a big chunk of money...they don't give a damn about us customers...so after reading all the reviews above, makes me really paranoid how this is going to play when I need to go to the bank and close my account...and never again have any business with them. I am already on verge of bankruptcy and if they are going to tell me to go to close my account on the other side of town., west side of where I am living and in these weather conditions...and to be told I could have done it at the local branch...I swear I am going to scream at them.

I did not learn about the $.25 charge per use for using my debit card until I overheard a teller explaining it to a new customer approximately 1 month after opening my account. I reviewed the literature I had and couldn't find anything describing such a charge. To avoid such a frivolous charge to my account each time I purchased something with the card, I began using the charge function instead. That prevented the $.25 debit charge, but the transactions weren't showing up on my account in a timely fashion. As a new customer, I was specifically instructed to go by the 'available balance' for fund availability. However, the bank conveniently wasn't posting transactions in a timely manner, which skewed my true available balance.

I have all receipts for transactions using my US Bank card since I opened the account. I have compared ALL transactions for a particular day to the available balance shown on the paper statement on that date, and NEVER did I EVER go below the available balance on my statement. However, each month US Bank has charged me multiple overdraft charges (at $35.00 each) for overdraft charges THEY say I had incurred that somehow didn't show up on anything, whether in my online banking statement nor the paper statements I have.

This bank is a bunch of crooks and should be held accountable for their poor practices.

I do have to admit that after six years of banking with them they have shown me the very opposite of 5 star customer care. I have had a secured Visa and checking account with them for several years and even though I have received generous credit from Bellco Credit Union, Capitol One, Bank of America, and HSBC, I always fail to get my US Bank card converted into a non-secured card. I faile to see their reasoning behind this, if my credit is that bad why do I have these perfect accounts with these first and second tier lenders. I moved all but a thousand dollars of my direct deposit to Bellco and leave a cool grand that I am sure to always spend in the US Bank account. I only deposit money their because of the card I have with them, otherwise I would have dropped them like a hot coal. I makes me sad, I banked with them because my mother has worked for them for around eleven years, yet they can't extend me real credit. This company is doomed to fail, they are not worthy of my money or yours, I recommend Bank of America or a local credit union, skip the money junkie tight-wads.

But never good enough for US Bank, nor are they good enough for me!

U.S. Bank is a huge fraud and only out to screw you the customer. I have excellent credit, neer missed a payment or defaulted on anything. I submitted a CC aplication to combine three Cards onto one and take advantage of their 0% interest for 12 months. The approved the application, then only trnasferred the two small amounts and charged me $50 in trnasfer fees. When I asked what happened to the third thransfer they said they didn't approve it. I said why wasn't I told? Asked to reverse the whole thing, told I couldn't; asked to have my limit increased $2000 to cover the third transfer, told I'd have to wait 6 months. I could cancel the card, they were fine with that, but they would keep my $50 transfer fee. Stay away from this bank, they are a dishonest operation.

Got a letter stating they had issue a check on May 22, 2012 and that the check had not cleared. It took a week to get thru on their phone lines, I informed them that we never rec'd the check and they said, I'm sorry but we show it was mailed. I told them I check all our financial records and we never deposited that much money and don't recall ever receiving that check. She said that in order to get a replacement check we had to pay a $15 fee to cancel the last check. I told her I didn't feel it was right for me to pay for a check cancelation for something I never rec'd. I guess that doesn't matter. They say they mailed it and that I must have rec'd it. Great customer service. So if I want the balance of the money I put up with this kind of treatment.

I opened the a/c when i was 23 with US Bank now 42. I moved overseas 10 years ago with a debt of $35000 from the same bank and paid every penny. I bought a house and again took a loan from US bank for another $15000 to $20000 and paid that off. 3 years ago i moved my family back and was sending money every month to cover their expenses during my financial crises. I didn't take any more loan from US Bank. Couple of months ago i decided to come back to my family and started to sell everything i had abroad. My brother in law took $20000 from me here and deposited in my a/c through someone in US. The bank started giving hard time to my wife and had here take cashier check for $10000. I called them and they said that someone else can not deposit money into our a/c. The rest she paid off the car and spend on living and bills. US Bank closed the a/c without sending any information which the claim they did. My wife opened the a/c in Bank of America and i am sending the money there for the family. I am moving back and selling everything plus my end of service bonus award will all be send to BOA. They are very happy and we are very happy. I deeply regret giving business to US Bank who do not value their costumers. I am a proud American and I always thought that making and sending money from abroad some how helps the economy little bit. P.S they closed everything but left a $20000 credit card open.

Ambivalent wording regarding application of payment to their credit cards, does NOT cover when you have TWO zero interest balance items.
They applied payments for 5 months to new zero interest item and not to original balance.
I phoned and was told they didn't know how to get payment or part of payment to old balance. I wrote: the 2 letters did not address my issue.
One in fact said they couldn't issue another card. I didn't ask for another card. I phoned again and was told in spite of wording that did not
address application of payment to TWO zero interest items, I must pay my account in full $9470, to pay off the $2129 that becomes interest
bearing next month. SLEAZY. Other banks are clear in their wording or work with one if they want to keep you as a customer. I closed the account.
Luckily I have the money to pay off this account and forget about them.

I don't know about the rest of America, but US BANK to me is a CROOKED BANK. Not only did they boast of being 0ne of Two banks that made a profit in 2008, they took billions of dollars in taxpayers money to pad their pockets. Here is the CROOKED PART they adjust their computerized bank records to STIFF their CUSTOMERS. Just last night my wife was out and checked her balance at an ATM, it said she had enough monye for a moderate withdrawl. When she got home later she went on line to validate her balance and check how much she need to depsoit to bring her account back to where it was. I went to a US BANK branch at 9:00 AM and made a cash deposit for her. When I got home she checked her balance on line again as she always does and just like clock work, US BANK changed her balance records putting the last nights withdrawl five down, before the other withdrawls previously taken out, and then proceeded to put her in negative status for the prior withdrawls. Four charges of $37.50 for each transaction = $150.00 in US BANK charges. To me this is manipulation of bank records and theft by deception of CUSTOMER CASH. I want to see more reports posted on the site and I will look from time to time to see the response. My God are there any HONEST business people in AMERICAN BUSINESS ? These CROOKS - US BANK show be PROSECUTED !

My wife and I got a security system for our home last month. The monthly fee, taken automatically out of our checking account was supposed to be $44. The security firm took out $143, putting our account in the negative. In one day, U. S. Bank had our account to minus $127. We deposited $313 the day we found out the account was over-drawn.

That was last Wednesday. By Friday, they had the account in the minus again, to the amount of $127 again. There had been absolutely no activity on the account from us in those three days. No checks were written, and we did not use the debit card. My wife called the bank and all customer service would tell her was that there were overdraft charges, but they would not tell her what they were for or how we got them. By this Monday, the account was over $300 in a negative balance.

I noticed in another one of these reports that someone said U. S. Bank charges you $8 for every day that your account is in the negative. That is absolutely true, but even better than that, they then charge you a $37.50 fee on the $8 they took out because the $8 came out of a negative balance. So you actually get charged $45.50 for every day the account is the negative.

My wife has talked to the manager of the bank and I have tried to call him a couple of times, but he does not return phone calls, and he is always too busy to talk to anyone, whether by phone or in person.

Any helpful people out there who want to tell me some soothing advice like I should keep more money in the account, or have a budget, spare me. The negative balance was not our fault, and U. S. Bank has used the opportunity to hose us to the amount of $762 so far We had to deposit another $450 that we didn't have today to get the account back into a positive balance. U. S. Bank takes every opportunity to relieve people of their money. If you can't give someone constructive advice on how to fix the problem, don't give advice at all. Some of us actually have to live from pay check to pay check without a safety cushion.

The service department did not close my account when I called about a lost card. They refused to put the card on hold, and said that they have NEVER allowed temporary holds on cards. I had been given a temporary hold on another occasion with very friendly and warm service, so I questioned this. I suppose because I questioned it, they simply decided to cause me trouble. I found out almost 10 days later that they had not closed the card, nor had they mailed me a new debit card! When I called back they made no offer to investigate the wrong handling of my account. Putting the supervisor on the phone made the situation much worse. She was cold and rude. She repeated the statement that they cannot put a temporary hold on an account - kept repeating this, no matter what I said. At first I was calmly asking her questions, and finally she said "Oh, you said ACCOUNT - we can't put a temporary hold on an account. " I said, no, actually it's pretty clear that we are talking about a card! Every issue that I tried to bring up, there was nothing but a brick wall from the other end. This was to the point of being abuse. When I had reached the point of frustration to where I was raising my voice, I said that I would need to speak with someone else. Then she proceeded to threaten me with a $25 late fee to rush the card to me. She did not offer any help or options at all until I got to the point of frustration - then she said "Mam, if you would have let me talk, I was going to offer to rush you a card. " I said, I have been calmly asking questions for 15 minutes here and you offered nothing! Of course I got frustrated! Your job is to offer service, and you have not been responsive to my needs at all. During this she was interrupting me the entire time, and saying that they do not HAVE to waive the $25 fee to rush the card to me -- even though they screwed up and didn't mail the card to me! I finally told her that I am very worried that I gave my social security number over the phone to a guy who did nothing at all after telling me the card would be closed. And I am not getting a good feeling from her, either. I told her I would rather just speak to someone else to close the card. She finally said, well then you can just call the 800 number again. She also told me that she was as high as I could go - that I would not be successful in complaining to upper management! And there truly is no complaint line, so customer service for US Bank is a JOKE!
