Been with the Wintrust network of banks for a few years now. I started in Chicago with Wintrust and…read morethen floated my accounts over to Palatine Bank & Trust. This isn't really the banks fault as much as it's a corporate issue / computer structure issue. Whenever I want to transact business inside I have to get Northshore Bank paperwork filled out. It adds on a minute or two of bureaucracy. I could open new and local accounts but it's a very hard task to do with direct deposit from the government. Changing government direct deposit is beyond a headache and beyond bureaucracy clogged. So I just keep using my accounts as extended network. The bankers at PB&T don't care. The PB&T bankers are some of the best people in the community. They are an always welcoming and friendly staff and always engage in the community, even if that engagement is something as simple as letting someone with anxieties about the COVID pandemic talk it out for a few minutes over the bureaucracy of a transaction. There's banks I've been to that have personnel who are cold, unwilling to talk and just want to get business done and shove the next person up to the window. There's banks that have gotten so impersonal that you walk in stick your card in a reader punch your PIN and then the "teller" gives you your money or deposits things. I won't mention the competitor name but they're a national big box bank and frankly I feel like ALL of the big box banks have gotten to a point of fully objectifying clients and treating them like nothing more than walking bags of money to transact with. PB&T some of the bankers recognize me when I walk in and greet me, other times I meet a new banker and make a new connection. But those connections only become stronger. PB&T is truly a bank that makes every effort to connect with clients, support them and overall be a friend to the client rather than just a bank. I can't say this about any other bank, historically Harris Bank pre merger had this kind of connection but since the merge they too have gone to big box bank psychology. There are few banks in the world that a person can comfortably say one of my friends happens to be my bank branch. This is one of them. I strongly recommend you move to PB&T if you are banking elsewhere. Not only is PB&T a truly client oriented bank but the entire Wintrust network puts the client first. I had an overdraft happen, I fixed it the same day and they didn't charge me a dime. I had an overdraft happen at my previous bank fixed it the same day and still got charged $45 AND got told I couldn't get a reversal done even though I fixed it the day of the overdraft. I could go on and on with reasons for you to bank with PB&T but I think the best way for you to see the bank in action is to drop in and see for yourself.

I've been banking here since 1989 and have had a real good customer experience with this bank!…read moreGreat service (tellers, bookkeeping, technical support, etc.), people and security! I also like their online banking system--useful features and good customer service. Their location is great too--close to home, Mariano's, and the restaurant strip on Route 14/Northwest Highway between Palatine Road and Hicks Road! I also noticed they've got a lot of older longtime customers who've been banking with them for centuries, so that was reassuring to see! I think the only area of improvement they need is to be open a little bit later on weekdays; some of us commute to the city and having to try and get to the bank before they close at 6 pm from the city, is not realistic nor helpful...sigh/groan! But other than that, I think I'll stay with them a while longer...

A few months ago I TOOK MY elderly MOTHER TO OPEN CHECKING AND SAVING ACCOUNTS…read more Mr. Anthony Seiler/ aka Tony was our personal banker and he helped my mother by explaining which accounts would be best fit her, direct deposit, fees etc etc and in most instances repeating over and over until she would finally comprehend, simply because she has been stuck in the old school way of doing things, and accepting change, well is very hard some times. However surprisingly she actually love Mr. Seiler and more importantly trust him and trust me she doesn't even like or trust most people lol , funny , sad but true. We have even stopped in since then to ask him a few questions and change a few things and he immediately helped us. Well after her encounters with Mr. Seiler, he may have renewed her faith in humans. Mr. Anthony Seiler was very accommodating, patient , professional and just a nice person with a good heart. He represents chase bank very well. Thank You Tony ! I really appreciate you and will see you soon as we embark upon purchasing a condo in the near future.

My wife saw it was from our bank and so she opened it without thinking otherwise. Inside was a refund check for $350 from Chase with our address but made payable to another person. So I took it back to chase to explain the mistake. The teller (Victoria) tells me to forward it to the person named on the check. I say "I don't know this person or her address. She says the address is right on the check. I explain again that it shows my address and I don't know this person. She says well it looks like it has a business address for whoever issued the check so send it back to them or just tear it up. I said I'm not comfortable doing either and since it is from Chase bill-pay, Chase should handle it. I hand her the check and she tears it up and throws it in the trash. WTF! I thought what if that was a $350 refund for me.

Worst loan experience EVER!! At the end of February I purchased a camper. On my paperwork from…read more83RV all it said was that my first payment would be due April 1, and the terms of the loan - no information on who held the loan. I am in the 800 Club so when April 1 approached and I had no welcome letter, no loan information, no payment book - ABSOLUTELY NO communication at all- I went into my credit report to see who held the loan. BMO. On April 4 - with still NO communication from BMO- I called THEM. I had the agent help me set up an account, and set up double payments to occur every two weeks. On April 8 I received payment books in the mail, and my electronic payment went through. Later that night, I received an e-mail from BMO, and today (April 9) I received a call to my personal phone AND MY BUSINESS PHONE that they were not even supposed to have muchless call. I called not once but twice, the first time being told everything was ok and the second time telling me my payment was over 7 days overdue. Once I verified that my bank showed the payment was made yesterday and how I called them to set up the payments without ANY information from them, I asked for a supervisor. Of course, noone is available but they will call me. WOW! THINK TWICE (or more!!!) before you bank with this company. I will tell you that I am going to pay off this loan as fast as possible and NEVER do business with them. Horrible!

I supplied all the same information to Wintrust Barrington and they approved quickly with no problem. Wintrust knows a good business plan and business finance. US Bank does not. We will be moving all our accounts to Wintrust. I see that someone named Kim responded. In my experience respected banks use the same or similar criteria. My point is that Wintrust understands the needs of small businesses and US Bank does not. If you are a business owner go elsewhere but if you are an individual who keeps very little money in all your accounts then possibly US Bank is right for you. Even then I'm sure you will do better somewhere else.

You can bank anywhere, so why not here…read more Banks are huge competition these days, most offering the same thing. Here's what made our experience great at this location. I was helping my mother open a checking and savings account. At her age (71) and being retired, she needs a little hand holding through new things like this. We came into Chase because we got a $300 coupon in the mail for opening a new account. She really doesn't have much money, so an extra $300 goes a long way for her. Our banker / specialist at Chase was Laura Homan. Admittedly my mom can be hard to deal with. She would talk at you for hours if you let her, and bankers these days are very busy and typically have lines of people waiting. Laura was very patient with Mom, and went slowly through everything so she would understand. I've seen bankers that want to try and sell you everything possible. While Laura did a good job representing Chase and different options available, she never got pushy with anything. We walked out with a new account, some checks, and a couple hundred extra dollars. Laura made it a great experience not only for my mom but me as well. Thanks Laura!
