I'm always greeted upon arrival and then sent away with a smile and a wave. After several years of doing business with them I can honestly say that from afar the atmosphere is genuine, well put together and really works and in closing I gotta say that I LOVE MY WELLS FARGO BRANCH!!

I've been a customer at the Marina Wells Fargo branch since 2015. The staff here is consistently…read moreprofessional and friendly, which I really value--it's a commendable quality. The location is always clean and well kept. That said, I've noticed that the teller stations often feel understaffed. Even though there are multiple teller windows, it's rare to see more than one or two tellers assisting customers at a time, even when there are long lines. I've often seen team members working behind the scenes, but the front area where we make transactions could use more support to keep things moving faster. I hope they improve the wait times soon--because the team's great service deserves a smoother process!

The guy who I spoke to seemed put out by my presence. I had to wait 40 some odd days to close her accounts, their rules not mine.

You'd barely know it was there, as it is dwarfed by the Portola Hotel, and almost blends in with the adjacent parking garage. But don't overlook this strategically placed branch nor the helpful folks who work there. Pricilla and her boss the branch manager helped me out of a sticky situation. There is a genuine quality about these folks I think you will appreciate. I sure did.

Six weeks ago I tried to add my 96-year-old mother as a member, and she was denied membership. NFCU's based their denial on the Patriot Act (terrorism). I filed an appeal and re-applied for my mother to become a member and she was denied a second time. Every time I call NFCU they refuse to talk to me about it. This has been going on for the past six weeks. I wrote a letter to the CEO of NFCU, the National Credit Union Association, and the Department of Housing with regard to the denial was unjustified, discriminatory, and violated the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. My mother was trying to become a member so she could apply for a Home Equity Line of Credit on her home. My mother's home is worth two million dollars, she owes nothing to her home, and she has excellent credit. Yet despite my attempts to reach out to everyone, I have heard nothing. I even tried reaching out to broadcast news to see if they would be interested in airing my story, and so far nothing but crickets. What is ironic is despite their website inviting family members to become members they refused my 96-year-old mother. This is proof we live in one of the most dysfunctional societies of our time with absolutely no accountability to obeying the laws of the land. The next step in this process is Chaos.

The manager Jeff is wonderful, goes the extra mile especially for us locals. Justin, a teller I believe, is super friendly and chatty and a lovely addition to our little touristy town. Also Gabriel is great and was very helpful and a perfect source of information when we went in to open my teenager's first account. I'm always grateful to go in and see familiar faces.
