I've been with Westamerica Bank for many years now. But I've also had longtime connections to…read moreother banks like Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Chase Bank. A few of my banks have been merged into others - thus my experience with Wells Fargo. But it was through my horrific experience with Wells Fargo that brought me to Westamerica Bank - and I have never looked back. I like the wonderful people and service of Westamerica - and I've worked with various branches in various locations as I have moved a lot in the past 20 years. I want to give a shout out to the branches in Sausalito and in Grass Valley. They have always treated me with respect and (in a word you don't often associate with banking) generosity. Westamerica hasn't been the quickest bank to get into digital. Yes, I was with them before they were fully online. And there are still some cumbersome aspects to their digital presence, but their high quality service out-weighs that aspect of their organization. If you wanted to be treated well, I'd recommend you look into them. They are West Coast centric, but I live part time abroad and I've not had to change banks. The only proviso in being an expat with them as your bank is that their rates aren't the cheapest and you'll be charged ATM fees from abroad. Still, I've kept them as my main bank and added applications that defray the costs of ATMS and transfer fees, because I know they have my back. Good work, Westamerica!

My daughter has relayed to me that the tellers are not consistent, friendly enough, but different tellers ask for different verification information when she goes in to do her transactions in person. Now that she's an established customer, it's a bit off putting. There is only one ATM machine outside, no drive-thru, although I have never seen a line for the ATM, so it's whatever. Lines inside are managed efficiently. This place is a well-oiled machine.

I actually had a scheduled appointment at 11:30 a.m. but with my work schedule, I had to see if I could get in sooner. As the bank opened its doors, there I was, ready to get down to business. Daniel was there to help me. I told him about my appointment, and he made sure to cancel it for me. It's nice to know on top of being able to schedule an appointment through the app, there is also a personal banker there for walk ins that need help. Daniel was very through about the information I needed and the information I needed to present. I had full confidence that he was the perfect person to talk to. After a phone call, being placed on hold, then gathering up some signatures, and faxing off my info, we were finally finished. The longest part was just us waiting on hold, but he was quick with the paperwork and as for the final outcome.. we were able to make everything official and it reflected in my account within about 5 business days. I recommend coming to this branch and speaking with Daniel if you have any questions about financing. He is very smart and I walked away feeling more confident (than before) about the business we discussed.

I am so disappointed by the tactics of this banking institution and soon I will be closing my account and moving on. Shame on you, Golden1. You lost a good customer.

She came to me and told me the check was fradulant and that we could not negotiate its status. I was floored. She then asked in fron of everyone, "Where did you get the check from?" I responded, "The US Treasury." She made me feel like a criminal. This was money from my retirement account. No one ever contacted me. Last time I do buisness there. BTW, I did call TSP and they will now be investigating Wells Frago for innappropriate monetary practices.

Don't waste your time with these clowns! Here's the story:…read more I needed a business account for my new California LLC. I went online and chatted with a representative before heading to the branch, as I wanted to be sure I had all the paperwork I needed to complete everything. You might have thought he would have mentioned you have to have an appointment to open an account. He did't, you do, so I wasted a half hour mountain drive from my home to go there for nothing, then another half hour mountain drive home on a Friday. The woman at the Auburn branch took my paperwork, said it would not be for nothing as everything would be set up for my new Monday appointment and she would let me know in advance if anything else was needed. I go back on Monday, (another hour long round trip mountain drive) only to be informed that because I do not have a physical office, they will not open a business account. I find this hard to believe, there are no end to number of businesses that do not need nor have physical offices, but two women insisted this is the case. Also neither of them had ever heard of such a "strange thing" as a registered agent, something every corporation is required to have. They almost acted like I was trying to pull some sort of scam. So I have a physical address filed with the state with my registered agent, I have a business PO Box mailing address, and I have a local physical personal residence address, but nope, not good enough, you MUST have an office. Honestly, if they are this incompetent and uninformed, maybe this was a blessing in disguise. You try to do the right thing and support smaller businesses, but sometimes it just does not pay. Meet me half way guys! HUGE waste of time and displays of incompetence.
