The best banking experience i have ever had. After substantial research I decided to check out our…read morelocal branch of Key Bank on Bainbridge Island. I was bowled over by the excellence! First contact over the phone with the branch manager Sara was entirely positive. Friendly, service-focused, knowledgable and welcoming. When I checked out the branch in person I was immediately greeted in an authentic friendly way. I picked up more information about accounts and bank products and after a few days came back in to open my accounts. When I did, setting up my accounts with personal banker Amanda was easy, seamless and enjoyable! Meeting Wyatt and Teri, roving tellers, only added to my positive sense of this branch which is kind, helpful, customer-focused and authentic. Having banked there for months now I can confirm it was not just an initial feeling-- I feel better about banking here than I have anywhere else, literally feeling welcomed whenever I stop by. The best way to describe it is like a "Cheers" experience. Where everybody knows your name!

Our older son went to college and at his 18th birthday they started deducting fees from the account as he was now an adult and no longer fit their criteria for the saving account that was originally set up. This change was not communicated to us and they have pulled over $150 in fees out of the $298 he originally had in the account ( $2 below the minimum of $300). They would not allow him to change the account as he was seen as a minor on the account despite that they could now fleece him for $4-5/month as he is an adult. The manager was rude and condescending to all of us. Take your money and business to a local bank who still remembers that customers matter and treating people fair should be a KEY part of their business model.

Worst customer service ever! I've had a business account with B of A out of state for several years…read moreand attempted to close it when I retired to WA. It's taken 5 phone calls and nearly 2 hours of time to get zero clear answers. I was told: 1. We'd mail you the balance but our system is down. 2. You can transfer the money but it has to be into another BofA account. 3. You have to make an in-person appointment and you MAY need to bring several documents (which are in my moving boxes) but maybe we won't need the docs. We can't tell you over the phone - and that response was from the genius asst manager! 4. You are the 87th caller and won a $100 Visa gift card. If you answer a few questions then I can close your account. Yep true. The asst manager became irritated when I asked more questions about MY money. Get into another line of work. Unreal incompetence!

My experiences at Columbia: - fees and rates are respectively irritating and unimpressive - they still make YOU (unless the teller is in a good mood) fill out paper deposit slips like it's 1998 - their app is very unreliable - several of their staff were snippy with me on a recurring basis **while researching "ethical banks in Seattle" I came across this Quora post about HomeStreet https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-most-ethical-banks-in-the-us. I also see that they have consistently solid Yelp reviews across their branches. Moral of the story: _do_your_homework_ and shop around to find a great bank that will work for you. Hint: it's probably not Columbia.

When Columbia Bank took over American Marine I was not that upset because I thought banking with a…read morelarger bank, but not too big of a bank, would be beneficial. However, I soon realized that Columbia Bank is out for profit and growth and not necessarily into building a relationship with the community. The staff are great since they are mostly the same staff from American Marine. However, Columbia Bank's fees (especially overdrafts, etc.) are unreasonable. In the past if you had an overdraft, you could get a deposit in that morning and that would be good. Now, Columbia Bank charges at midnight the night before. So, you do not even realize that you have a problem until a fee is charged. They have lots of growth and this is party due to their exorbitant fees. I have written them a letter and only received one phone call from a low-level clerk. I read in the paper today that the Feds are investigating bank practices on getting fees from customers. The practices of this bank should be investigated. Again, the staff is great but the fee policies of the bank are flat wrong. These policies are greatly hurting community members who are struggling.

I started doing business with Kitsap about a decade ago, and I was impressed with them then.

Do not invest in this business ! Very poor service. The person that gives the response to these complaints can only sugar coat it, but it's really easy to see that you have no explanation or honest reason for these things to keep happening.

But this review is for the Magnolia branch in Seattle. They are absolutely awesome, and if you approach them in a pleasant manner, you will get great service.

They also have a great notary, who will take care of you if you are a Chase customer.
