I could've made an informed decision either way before you dinged our credit scores with an inquiry. The most frustrating thing other than you lying through omission (not previously telling us that we needed my wife to have a credit score of 620) you waisted our time, you didn't get back to us right away and in reality, this should've been handled right then and there while we were in your office. The irony is that we already got a loan for this car, three years ago. And even with my wife's lower score we've never missed a payment. Obviously you and your underwriters don't have any common sense or ability to think critically. So why would a borrower attempt to use this institution? Avoid this shady business and "manager"

Needless to say, he was very skeptical of the process - risk of loss along the way, as well as other concerns. Shouldn't a bank be able to handle the basics of cash and deposits? Apparently not BoA.

We were told that Sarah actually emailed all the tellers, alerting them about my husband's needs and pending arrival. To us, this was going above and beyond in customer service.

Review #005 - 2020…read more I've been to this BofA on many occasions & service is usually pretty good. Although, a few times I've been stuck waiting in line with only one teller assisting everyone so that wasn't too fun. They do try to "encourage" you to sign up for "special" services if you have a business account with a certain amount of money just sitting there doing nothing. Unfortunately, I'm usually in a hurry whenever I'm here so I've never had a chance to talk to anyone about those services. It's usually best to come in earlier in the morning on weekdays as it gets pretty busy on Saturdays. They do have a free parking lot right behind the building, which is pretty uncommon in this area, since everybody's out to get your money. Yes, I do hate meter maids, as they've ticketed me twice! I understand it's their job to ticket you, but two minutes after you park & try to get change from a nearby shop is just unacceptable! Not that I was trying to be cheap, but they literally force you to pay for a full hour when you use your credit card, even when you only need to be there for less than 10 minutes. Unfortunately, I forgot about the free parking lot in the back and ended up parking in a private lot so that was my own mistake this time.

When a different staff member has to get back to me (e.g. a Loan Officer) I have gotten a call back really quickly. I also have accounts at the one of the two "Major" banks that I share with my husband and although the people are nice, the service is ridiculously slow and the staff never returns phone calls so I MUCH prefer CB&T for the quality of the customer service and the speed of getting things done. This location is in a big office tower but they validate parking so it is free to use the downstairs parking lot.

Online customer service is always helpful. They even host a luncheon for business owners with interesting guest speakers. Who knew a bank would/could do this? This bank treats me like a king.

Since I no longer use paper checks--a common shift for many modern checking accounts--I was advised to have my bank complete and sign Section 2 of the CalPERS Direct Deposit form instead. I brought all necessary identification, including my passport, driver's license, birth certificate, and marriage certificate, to make the process as smooth as possible. Despite this, staff at the branch declined to sign or stamp the form, stating that Bank of America does not provide wet signature for external documents. I was surprised by this, especially given the bank's involvement in other verified transactions like mortgage processing; as my family has held three mortgages with Bank of America. As a result, I've experienced delays in receiving my funds and have had to request a physical check from the State Controller's Office instead. For those planning to retire using CalPERS or a 457(b), I recommend confirming your bank's willingness to support your financial transition--or consider a financial institution that can partner with you on long-term goals. I also did make note of this with the state of California.

I had some questions about my account while I was there and felt well taken care of by Samantha. The interest rate on the market edge account here is always over 3% and that beats anything I can find. They also have competitive rates for CDs and loans.

The Chase Bank experience has dwindled. I've been a customer since forever in the Bay Area (since…read moreit was taken over from WaMu). It's reliable, until it isn't for all the wrong reasons. 1. At this branch, the ATM is almost always down. It's always no cash available currently (May and June 2024). 2. I tried to get ahold of its mortgage business - and the agent there are mostly not reachable. They also dissuade me from the best available options - which is availability and eligibility of 1st time home owner loans/alternatives. To be fair, maybe they're just not supposed to tell you what's right. 3. the ATM took my money and didn't send me a receipt. Nowadays, I have to always video myself putting in money for proof. It has come to that level of untrustworthiness. 4. I always need to watch out for the monthly fee that they charge onto my account and then spend time to call them to reverse it because I had sufficient amount in my account, or have enough direct deposit for the month, or whichever the reason it is that should have waived the monthly charge. 5. All the foreign money request is no longer available on site. You'll need to request well in advanced... but seriously, I thought at least they'll have the Euro's or something that is usually requested (since Euros cover lots of country... like almost a continent). 6. For this particular branch, they never have enough Lunar New Year envelopes - I have to go to branch nearby (Pleasant Hill for example). I hope it gets better.
