My checking account number is one of the oldest active numbers. In December 2025, I had to order checks. Chase charged me $46.00 for the checks.

Their response was "Paul, upon reviewing your account ending in ****, We are unable to refund the check order fee for $46 we charged you. We appreciate you being a Chase customer." Chase obviously does DOES NOT value my account. Longevity and loyalty mean nothing to this organization.

Consumers service levels have reached rock bottom…read more If it were just one thing I would probably let it slide but it has been one problem after another. I had a problem signing up for credit card alerts last year when they changed their system. After two calls to their call center, a trip to one of the service branches when I was Told I would hear back after "help desk" ticket was sent through. I heard nothing from the representative I talked to and to this day I get no alerts. Shortly after I received a member survey to fill out. I explained what happened and sent it back. To my amazement,ent I got a reply they were happy they were able to help me with my problem. I went to one of the service centers to buy a Visa gift card. That transaction took 3 people and 16 minutes to complete. Fast foward. I did what they encourage members to do and self serve through online banking. It had to do with changes to joint ownership and beneficiaries on one of the,y accounts. After trying to self,serve I realized I would have to call. I called and spoke to a new account person who then transferred me to a specialist. She assured me that the account now reflected what I required. Shortly I got documents to sign that did not indicate the changes we discussed. I had to call again. The same person told me that the joint owner could not also be a beneficiary. That' is exactly why I called the first time. So much for getting it right the first time. So after trying to self serve, it took two additional phone calls to complete. I recently had some IRA pepper work to complete for a transfer. That took two people to complete. They sent it to my financial advisor who emailed me and said the form was not compete. So a second trip to the service center to get it right. My son has had problems with them sending debit cards to their old address even though the credit union has the new address at the time they moved. Because of that he went into one of the service centers to talk to them about concerns he had about a title the credit union would be sending out since he had only one payment left. He asked that the title he sent to the service center so he could pick it up. He was told "no" because the titles are kept out of state and special mailing would cost him $40. Today he got the envelope and the title wasn't in there. Wonder is Consumers will charge him for a duplicate title. And just for laughs, after I added him as beneficiary to my account he was notified his address had been changed to my address. The letters they send out after an address change were sent to my address. He got one for his accounts and one for his Credit card. Honestly, taking care of their members is absolutely no concern of theirs.

Well if you plan on banking here, please be advised as a customer you are expected to meet PNC's…read moreexpectations not the other way around. I wanted to get a balance on my account & then write a check for small amount. I was told I had to step out of line to write my check so I wouldn't hold up the line for next customer. It takes less than 45 seconds to write a check. I Said, you can't be serious!? I was told by the God's gift to bank tellers, and I quote that "PNC expects their customers to have their paper work filled out when they come to the window". I was upset even more with that remark. I did not swear or name call, but my voice was upset. She had all my information & license & refused to cash my check because I was being rude (?)to her & I had to talk to manager before she cashed my check. They both proceeded to jerk me around and were smirky and throwing their weight around. I do not look very nice because I have a fatal brain disorder, speak funny & have trouble controlling the volume of my voice because of brain disorder & look like a holocaust survivor. They seemed to take great pleasure in being the all powerful bank employees I guess. I am an employee on disability with this bank. I mentioned that & received a snide remark about that too. Avoid this bank. The attitude you're there to meet their expectations is pervasive throughout this company. The fact they treat anyone like this no matter how they look or amount on deposit is disturbing. I only keep a small amount in this bank because of my employee status. My major accounts are at another bank. You figure it out.
