Most of them are too busy chatting with each other to pull apart to be normal to say good morning or welcome in. My other banks know me by name and welcome me in EVERY visit.. Their hours SUCK and it's everywhere! Definitely not "customer friendly" hours and when I mentioned it to the customer service number, "sorry you feel that way" was all I got. Today, I pulled up thinking it would be open at 845 since yesterday it was open at 830. I drove up to atm and had issues so I decided to go through the drive thru because I seen about 3 ladies and a guy teller chatting away.

Terrible customer service - reminding us why we left BofA 15 years ago, and Wells Fargo was considerably better then. Came in at 2:30 pm Oct 23 and there were 3 tellers, and 2 associate bankers /business bankers, and they asked if I made an appointment. One of them asked when his appointment was, it was 3 p.m., and I said my matter would be quick, and he dodged me and went to the back room. The other associate banker, after I said it would be quick, said if I sit down for 5-10 minutes and her appointment didn't show up, she would help me. The appointment didn't show up and eventually I got helped. But meanwhile she was whispering and laughing with tellers. Do they get joy out of treating customers like this?

I went online, like always do to make sure my direct deposit went through. I was looking at a zero balance, wait, what? My account was closed with no notice; how about a letter, phone call, text or email? They claimed it was a computer error and snipely told me to call about the direct deposit that it was not their problem but yet they caused said problem. Not to mention I had been banking with them for 20 years and the fees are just horrendous. Also would like to add I found out about this yesterday when I was at the store picking up Thanksgiving dinner but my card was declined and hence no dinner for today, way to go Westamerica!

Went in today to pay a credit card, I had some questions about my debit card and proceeded to ask…read morethe teller, every single time I try to use their ATM outside, my debit card does not work. He calls accounting debt, and they told him to tell me that it's not working because my payment is overdue, MIND you, this has been an issue, even when I was doing my payments on time lol. Then they decided to then tell me there was a block on my account, and that they removed it. Honestly working at a bank myself, I personally feel like they didn't know what to say to me so they just assumed to blame it on the status of my account instead of maybe getting to the root of the issue of maybe their ATM machine is not working correctly or my card is damaged in someway. Accounting never talk to me face-to-face and they just kept calling back the teller giving him whatever information they could think of. If it wasn't for the credit card I have with them. I would literally close my account today if I could, but I'm going to as soon as I paid it off. It's literally never a good experience going inside, I literally dread it. Zero stars if I could

Why is activating a new credit card such a complicated process?…read more I called the activation number listed on the card and entered all the requested information correctly, only to be transferred to a call center representative who told me I needed to contact the bank directly about my account. My account is in good standing, and I had spoken with a representative just two weeks ago to request this replacement card. After calling the bank directly, I was transferred yet again to another call center, waited approximately five minutes, and was then informed that their system was down and they could not assist me. The end result: no activated card and a significant amount of wasted time. This experience fell far short of basic customer service expectations. Something as simple as activating a replacement card should not require multiple transfers and system failures.

Trying to deal with an area Manager or a regional is like talking to a kindergartener that is making up answers up to a question, they don't know to look smart.

When i asked them what is there plans to beef up security or get to a standard that other banks are at, i was told its not even brought up in meetings. Pretty sad, shows they dont care.
