    This bank is difficult to do business with and does not have the level of customer service that ALL other local banks offer.

    We have never had an issue here. The staff here is very kind and patient. I never experienced…read moresarcasm and appreciate the recognition of being a 30+ year client. Parking is easy and appointments have to be scheduled in advance which is a bit annoying but this is an aspect that has carried on post Covid. My teller, "CC" even stamped a smiley face on my receipt. Cute!

    I have banked with Wells Fargo in various locations for the past 40 years, and have never…read moreexperienced such poor service as the Lafayette CA branch. In brief, I am a local store owner, trading in Lafayette for 12 years, fully known at the bank as I bank at minimum 3-4 times a week. There is always a line of people to be served, for the most part there are 3-4 tellers staring at a screen with one customer, cannot imagine why, everyone else in line is ignored. That aside, I recently went in to the branch to bank a check that was made out to our store, the paying in slip had my LLC name on it. The Teller said he was unable to accept the check as it did not have our LLC name on the check. The check was a regular check that I receive four times a year from Fedex, plus I have a long history with Wells Fargo, having all accounts including my mortgage with them. The awkward bank manager was called and stated that she would not take my check as it could be fraud, even though she knew who I was and that I was a local trader. She told me to return with my Sales Tax License to prove both the LLC name plus the store name, this I did, but they would still not take the check as the "Back Office" girl at the branch said no. I took it to the Pleasant Hill branch who banked it immediately. I will now remove all accounts from Wells Fargo, and am in the process of reporting the horrible service at the Lafayette branch. It was obvious that the manager enjoyed being as awkward as possible. i notice there is never a reply to any of the poor reviews and there are many.

    I have been banking here since 2013 or so. I originally had gone to the then new Martinez branch in…read morethe Lucky Plaza on Arnold Drive in late 2012, but they did not have safe deposit boxes. So after calling around a bit, I found this branch. It is in a very safe area, located at the Rossmoor Town Center. This is named after Rossmoor, a private wealthy senior citizen's residential community of homes called nearby. That is one of the first things the banker told me when I signed up (the branch manager, who since has retired). I laugh, since this used to be called just Rossmoor Shopping Center; and, until recently, was an outdated dinky little plaza, and still is in some ways. I guess they wanted to give it a more upscale image, just like the disgusting Hilltop Mall in Richmond, CA is now called the Shops at Hilltop or Hilltop by the Bay. There is also a older Safeway and newly-renovated CVS and Starbucks in this plaza, which is convenient. There also is a John Muir Heath outpatient center across the street and nice Rite Aid with a drive-thru too. If you come here during lunch, there is also some food truck parked outside on the street, due to all the health workers. Well, in regards to the bank itself, I have always received excellent service here from all the tellers and bankers. One even knows me by name (Chad). If there is more than one person in line, one of the bankers will come out to assist the tellers, so you never have to wait long. They had a nifty Customer Appreciation Day last May with taquitos, cookies, rice, beans, etc. It was over when I got there, but they still had plenty of leftovers, so I helped myself. They safe deposit box area is nice, since they have two private rooms to go to sort out the contents of the box. They used to have signature cards to compare your signatures to (in addition to checking your ID) before they let you get your box, but now it is all PIN based. One time, years ago, they had the signature card out in advance for me, since I used to come every day then for my safe deposit box, and they saw me arrive in my car. They also have water (warm usually from all the ice melting), coffee, and hot chocolate for customers, as well as suckers. The waiting area is nice,with plush easy chairs. (I sometimes have to wait here to see a banker before going to my safe deposit box). I have had to wait no more than five minutes usually. One time it was over 20 minutes and I had to be somewhere, so I left. The branch is always very clean. The pens they have tied down at the bank slip area before the teller windows were always out of ink in the past, but I have stopped using them anyway, in favor of my owns pens in my purse. The tellers area is nice, since there are no bars or thick security windows like at other Chase's. I have always been able to get parking up close in their small lot in front. Otherwise, you have to park farther away since there is a Safeway there. It was tight sometimes when they were doing the renovations in the main parking lot, as Safeway cheaters parked in Chase's parking area (against the rules). One even parked in the handicapped disabled stripe wheel chair access area. I called the police non-emergency line, but they didn't come in time. They have also been accepting when I deposit all my change here, to make my purse lighter. I usually make weird deposit amounts, like $2.17, lol. Oh, this branch does not have a drive-thru, due to their location in the plaza, but does have excellent handicap accessibility, due to all the senior citizens they serve.

    I've never met a rude teller as rude as the older man here who claims his name is Jose - he wasn't…read morewearing a name plate nor was his name displayed anywhere so we're not sure if Jose was his real name. I came with my neighbor to replace her debit card yesterday, Jose didn't seem willing to help that he said "do it online!" as cold as that. I noticed how impatient he was, so I urged him to be patient with us. This was day 1. Day 2 - We called Chase, we were asked to go to the branch to replace the card. Today, it was unfortunate that "Jose" tended to us again. We told him that Chase representative said we could get the debit card replaced at the branch, he was curt with his reply, and absolutely had no manners, no smile, like he wasn't happy to be there. I had to remind him again to be patient with the customers. He shouldn't be working there with that attitude.
