I have never seen a bank that absolutely refuses to cash ANY check that is not your own or from other banks!!! Until Now! I took my boyfriends check(his account is closed) to this exact location, with his signature on it, and they took it like how the tellers are suppose to service their customers! The next time i took his check there, they decided "no, we cant do it without the id or the person here". pissed off! i came back a week later with his new check to the drive thru with his signature and mine on the check along with his id. "oh we cant cash this check without him".........Aaaarrrghhhh.....Days Later on i went inside with the signatures, his id, and him in person. "I dont feel comfortable cashing this check. I wont do it." ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! i dont care if u dont feel comfortable, DO Your job or are they just there being paid to say NO!

This place might as well close DOWN at this rate!

My first experience with this branch consisted of them denying me service because my license was expired by one day (it was my birthday). The second time I went in there with my fathers check he had written me. After being very rude and taking forever, the woman said that she would be unable to cash the check. I asked her why and she said that she could not personally verify my fathers signature (he has been a customer there for years). I asked why and what could be done and she walked away saying "I can't go into further detail." 9 months pregnant and extremely pissed off, I drove 5 minutes down the road to the Granby branch. I explained to then what had happened over at Simsbury and they apologized for them and had no difficulty cashing the check for me.

I didn't like the way I was treated in that location, and certainly didn't like the comments they've made after I close my account, they are kind of rude. they are nice to certain people only. I will never open another account with BOA again.

I opened an account because of charity. A woman at my church said Bank of America would donate $25 to the church for every person who opened an account with them. I thought it was okay, seeing as I was helping my church. I had the account for over one year and they suddenly began charging me a maintenance fee of $20 without notice. When I brought this up to the agent, she said I should've received a notice that they were going to start charging me. She apologized and switched me to ebanking where I could go paperless and wouldn't be charged as long as I don't go into the office. I could only use the ATM outside. When I had to move away I went inside and cancel my account, withdrawing all my money to pay off my bills. A month later I received an email alert from my BoA account stating that I was $-8. Apparently they had charged me the fee for going inside of the office when I had canceled. It was completely ridiculous. I had to call customer service and straighten everything out.

They started charging $16 monthly fees because my balance was below a $ 4000 threshold.   He told me that it was my own fault that I was being charged those fees.  I told that my balance has been over $ 4000 and then he asked me to prove it.  I told them that they have access to my account, so why should i go home to bring back my statements.  after 5 minutes, he was able to look online to see that indeed my balance has been over $ 4000.  No apologies, whatsoever, but did agree to try to waive the fees.  However, although they have been charging the $ 16 monthly fee for 11 months, they can only go back and reverse up to 6 months of fees.  Again, he said it was my fault for not coming in sooner.

There is a begger who sits outside in the parking lot every evening, even Saturday’s, peddling for money.  This is daily between 6-8ish PM.  I’ve told management about this, but I suppose the area allows lottering.  So, it’s ok for customers of this bank to be harassed by sob stories from bums.  It’s bad enough we have to put up with this at gas stations.  Go to another ATMs, there’s a ton of them around.

The branch manager is very unprofessional and rude.  She would not cash my check because my drivers license had Jr on it and my check did not.  I have cashed may of these checks with Bank of America in Encino and have never had a problem. I asked for her business card to complain she did not give it to me.  She said "I dont give my name out to strangers". All I was able to find out from the teller is that her name was Ellie.  I googled her online and found out her name was Ellie Nabili.  I have never in my life experienced service this bad.

First of all, all those reviews where people are putting five stars are phony. BoA is PAYING them to do this to improve their reputation. What they should be doing instead is actually treating customers properly. I have a million dollar mortgage with them for the past seven years and have never missed a payment. I live blocks from the bank, and yet they would not let me cash a $74 check from another bank because I did not have a checking or savings account with them. They weren't apologetic, but they did tell me they aren't in the business of cashing other bank's checks (REALLY, I THOUGHT THEY WERE A BANK). They had the nerve to ask me to open an account!  While I was waiting for the manager I overheard them speaking with an elderly woman and trying to talk her in to getting a high interest mortgage on a house she had paid off, instead of the $2,000 short term loan she was requesting. She seemed confused and they seemed like vultures. The new branch in Mooresville that opened in 2011 is the worst. If you had to write a book on how not to treat people, you could simply walk into that branch and listen. I will never be going there again - ever!

The minute you open an account with BOA, they automate third party sharing of your information. I pleaded with the personal banker at the desk to help me remove my name from both their list as well as from the national credit reporting agency lists. As a loyal five-year customer, I know this isn’t what they typically do, but needed to stop the bombardment of junk mail. The banker told me she wouldn’t help me simply because she was not obligated to. After five years, I plan to close my account Monday, and move to a bank that will help me even if they aren’t obligated to!

This branch of B of A has some very nice smart efficient tellers but the manager is a total jerk to the merchant customers. He has trouble understanding very simple problems. His first response to almost everything is "NO - you can't do that". What's almost worse is rather than being friendly and setting an example for his staff, he tends to hide in his desk area and do nothing. I think a manager should be the smartest and hardest working person in a branch. This dude's name is John Nguyen, and he made me and another merchant customer wait for an extra 5-10 minutes while there were 3 regular tellers open & doing nothing.  2 of those tellers are sometimes merchant tellers who would have liked to help us, (they offered) but he yelled at them that we were to wait for the Merchant teller to finish.  The irony of it all was the merchant teller that we were to wait for, was dealing with some crazy street person who didn't have an account and was trying to cash their check without paying the $5 fee. They were in the wrong line. Maybe it is B of A policy to openly discourage merchant customers ? Maybe they don't care that this branch is run by a slow thinking, unkind, little dude with a Napoleon complex ? The sad simple truth is we should all take our money somewhere else. I'm going to talk to my boss about moving banks on Monday.

Monthly fee rip-off

by BoiseCustomer, Mar. 27, 2012

US Bank changed the terms of my checking account to add a monthly fee. This was not part of my original agreement with them--they say they notified me by mail. US Bank sends me a great deal of mail--most of it is of the "junk offering" category, so I don't open all of it. Now the $6 per month fee has eaten away the balance to a negative amount (it's not my main bank account--only something I use to make transactions in town). When I learned that their new fees had wiped out my account, I requested they close the account. Then they wanted me to pay them to close the account! The manager agreed to waive the small ($5) negative balance, but they "ate" $40 of my money after changing the terms of my account without my explicit agreement--this shouldn't be legal, and it's why the public is moving away from doing business with the "big" banks. Don't do business with US Bank--open a credit union account instead--my credit union has never done anything this shady! Bye bye US Bank!

The customer service at this branch is unbelievably bad, even for a bank of America branch. We waited almost an hour for a cashier's check because first, they didn't recognize me as much to just let me use my license for my account, (they told me I had a check card with them - funny I've never received one) so I drove home for a credit card. The branch manager never once approached me, even though we've been to that bank several times. I asked a sheet with my personal information back to shred at home and basically had to argue for it back since "these little blue buckets are for confidential documents that need to be shredded". Forgive me if I don't trust my personal information in a trash can with no lid. The teller then had given the branch manager my license to sign off on y cashier's check and somehow left my license on the counter next to me. When I asked for it, the teller simply she had given it back. I had to ask her to please look again. Another customer in line saw it on the counter and handed it to me. They were rude the entire time up until the manager saw the amount of money I had in that particular account. That's when he wanted to talk to me, shook my hand, and wanted me to come back to talk to him...needless to say all my money will soon be out of bank of America.

Horrible bank! Went to make a deposit because ATM machine not working. Did not let me make a deposit with my husbands name on the check stating that his name was not on the account which is incorrect. I have been married for 25 years and banked with bofa for over 30 same check that gets deposited every 2 weeks. Not to mention I managed at a bofa for 25 years as well. Waited in a line out the door with 2 unknowlegable tellers. Horrible experience. Bofa is not like it used to be!

What a waste of my time to go into this bank with any problems. Sure they are friendly and eager to help you...but they have NO clue what the heck they are doing! I went in there to change my name because I got married...well what a nightmare that turned out to be. I received my debit card back twice with my maiden name on it. Furious as I was, I called the branch and no one answered...typical! So i called BOA and had to have a representative tell me that whoever tried to do this "Did not know what they were doing." Umm that would be 2 of your branch employees there...Word to the wise BOA...you might want to start hiring smart people who actually know what the heck they are doing. OH and I was charged $5.00 everytime this branch requested a new card for me..Bye Bye $10.00..I'll never see you again!

Treats Employees as badly as customers

Unfair dismissal practices for emplyees who are treated as badly as customers. Termination of husband's job after working loyally for this Bank for 13 years. Worst thing is they cancelled his health insurance for the whole family effective immediately without informing him of that until he made contact with human resources himself. Did not receive final paycheck in the 72 hours stipluation time for receipt of final check. Bank is covered for fraud at a banking center. This is a recent crime ring that took a lot of banks for a loss recently and i believe were finally appreheneded in Valdosta GA. With regard to healthcare iwe have two children, aged two and four. We lost our beautiful daughter six years ago and the total cost of her care in the hospital exceeded $150,000. Can you imagine. No phone call or written notice to inform my husband of the fact that he no longer had health insurance or an expiration date, grace period etc. Help me with suggestions for banners etc. Please join me at 10 A.M Friday. Newberry Square Bank of America location. civil ·  1.Jill King correction to picket against unfair practices
about an hour ago By the way- i am also informing high end depositers at Bank of America of this situation. So far i have a committment of a withdrawal of $30,000 from a friend and customer. Not bad for a morning;s work. More to come
