Employees at this branch are too busy to answer the phone on a Thursday afternoon when Google tells me it's their least busy time. I rang for 10 minutes and no one ever picked up. My 83 year old mother told an associate (salesman) that she had cancelled their credit card and he strong armed her into getting another one. Apparently, they aren't too busy to scam the elderly.

Waited in line for over 40mins. Asked bank rep at front desk if they could provide an additional teller to assist the 2 tellers already assisting patrons. Bank rep stated that they only have 2 tellers available. Mean while they have other bank employees just standing around laughing and basically twiddling their thumbs. The line keeps keeps getting longer,  practically out the door and nobody cares. This is not the first time I have had this experience at this location. Such a digrace, I will definitely be looking elsewhere for my banking needs.

BofA makes everything more difficult than any other bank I've dealt with. Paperwork, bureaucracy, unnecessary requirements, more steps and forms than anyone else. Things I can do online or on the phone at other banks, I have to do in person with notarized forms here.
Closing all accounts, going elsewhere.

I have had an account with Bank of America for over 20 years.  I always recommended it to family and friends, and rated it “10” on customer service surveys.  NEVER AGAIN!
 
Bank of America froze my account without warning.  I was overseas at the time visiting Isaac Here’s, my autistic son who lives in a hostel in Israel.  Both my son and my daughter, Sarina Heres, are on my account.  My daughter went to a Bank of America branch in Lawrence, New York with a notarized Power of Attorney to act on my behalf.  Bank of America refused to accept the Power of Attorney.
 
For over 3 hours on Thursday, July 11, 2019, I called overseas to the United States to find out why my account was frozen.  I was transferred from clerk to clerk, each one contradicting what the previous one said to me.  It seems that my account was frozen because my son did not use his debit card.  However, I use mine all the time!  
 
I was told by the Lawrence branch representative that my son and I must immediately return to the United States within the next 4 days, by Monday, July 15, in order to remove my son’s name from my account.  I explained that neither of us could return to the States within such a short period of time on such short notice.  The cost to fly to New York on such short notice would be over $1,000 per ticket.  I am a widow and senior citizen.  I do not have the money for such an expense.  Furthermore, if my account is frozen, then I could not charge the tickets.  I was then given 2 extra days to arrive in the by July 17, or my account would no longer be frozen, but closed!
 
I was then transferred to a bank representative in Dallas, Texas who agreed to speak to my son over the phone once he provided answers to personal questions and confirmed that he agreed to be removed from my account.  After being satisfied with my son’s responses, the Dallas bank representative transferred me to a customer service representative to activate my account and remove my son’s name from it.
 
Not only did the guy in customer service tell me it was impossible to do, but he said the account would be closed on July 15 if we did not arrive at the bank before then.  He insulted me and practically called me a liar, saying I had not spoken to anyone in Bank of America representative in Dallas.  The Dallas representative is the one who transferred me to this guy!
 
I asked for a supervisor, and after another long wait, I was finally connected.  She apologized and was very surprised by the demand to fly back to the United States by July 15.  She said she would deal with the matter and unfreeze the account.
 
I thank the supervisor who resolved the matter, however I feel compelled to write this letter of complaint against your other employees.  I have never been treated so rudely before.  Customer Service should mean giving service to customers, not mistreating them, giving them false information, or practically calling them a liar.
 
This entire experience has soured my prior favorable impressions of Bank of America.

My ATM card was compromised so I drove over to report it and get a temporary card to pay my bills today. Skyline said the single rep was tied up all day.  They suggested I go to Bell Tower shops or North Fort Myers, their only other locations open on Saturday. Drove to Bell Tower shops. There they said the single rep was tied up. I asked them to call North Ft. Myers. They went to back room came back and said they set it up and my waiting period there would be 20 min. Drove to North Ft. Myers. They said nobody had called called them about me and the waiting period would be 2 hrs. which was past closing. One of the last two were obviously giving me a bold faced lie. I wasted more than 2 hours driving to all these locations and near 60 miles. I want to sue them for any late fees and credit problems incurred by their avoidance to provide a temporary card. They all tell me they are terribly backed up on Saturdays and I could see the long lines. It is obvious that not only local management but corporate management have decided to deny service to customers by not having adequate staff working as needed. I can report the fraud online but not get a temporary card. Find a bank that gives you service..

I mainly do my business online and via telcon. I use their Rewards programs they offer on my credit cards and enjoy my rewards, especially the additional % given when I put the Reward's $$ back into one of my accounts. Several times I've needed several large sums of money wired or electronically sent to another bank, the managers went way out of their way to ensure it got done quickly, correctly and then followed up with me to ensure my financial/personal needs were met. Other than the fact a good portion of BofA is owned by the Roman Catholic Church, I appreciate their service.

Customer service is unreliable.They get my accounts screwed up on a regular basis. I've banked with BOA for 40 yrs. They haven't improved as far as their employees. At this branch you have to walk in for everything, it is very customer un-friendly. I guess they are saving a few dollars shutting down the drive through but their customers hate it.

I've been client at Bank of America for 9 years total. Last 4 years Ive been getting my little errands done at 1100 Green Valley Pkwy. Henderson, NV 89074. People been always nice and helpful at this location! I noticed that the stuff recently has changed, I used to like being helped by Teller named MILA, unfortunately she moved to another branch. Another great professional was this young lady named Patricia she was a Customer Service Representative, she moved to other branch too. Today I met new Manager of that branch, his name is Samvel he was nice and professional. All I can say I love my Bank of America at Green Valley/Pebble Branch!

 I have never been so disappointed in a professional business in my life!   I ordered a sum of money to be withdrawn from my account. I was surprised that it would take so long, but rearranged my business to comply with the 7 to 10 days they said it would take. I called three times to make this arrangement.  During those three calls all manner of unprofessionalism took place beginning with the way the phone was even answered. I should have called another branch immediately!   Finally they said my order was confirmed and I began to wait. Yesterday( The day before it was supposed to be ready) I called to check and see if it came early so I could come and pick it up they said no  it’s not here yet,  it’ll be here tomorrow. I called at 12:30 in the afternoon today to confirm before I drove all the way to the branch and I was told that the  truck has not arrived yet. They couldn’t tell me what time the truck was going to arrive for security reasons. They would call me back when my order arrived.  A few minutes later the phone rang and I was told that the order had never been placed. I can’t  even tell you how angry I am.  This is so unbelievably unacceptable!   First  we experienced several instances of poor service at our local branch, then they closed our branch, but we said no we can just go to another branch if we need help.  We have been patient enough!   We will be withdrawing every penny from this bank.

I want to warn you! if you are serious about buying a home, and you think this Bank of America Branch can help you with your Mortgage Loan HA! HA!.  Run! Jennifer Ordaz almost made me loose the one home it took me two years to find with her incompetence.  I will never consider Bank of America for any LOAN in the future.  Go to Chase, Wells Fargo, TD anyone other than this group of clowns.  They are a big joke to the Mortgage Business.

I had the horrible experience to work with the new manager at this bank.  My suggestion would be she return to training to be able to handle questions that will without a doubt be asked again due to the populations of seniors in the area.  I ask her numerous questions which she indicated she had never dealt with  anything like this but that she was taking the opportunity to learn from her clients/members.  I was at this bank on behalf of my father (he was with me)  my father is unable to handle his finances due to dementia; indicated/proven with a doctors letter and I also had a POA.  I cannot believe she had the nerve to ask me if my dad could remember, really, you have the letter in front of you.  I turned to my dad and said, "dad who am I?"  with a great deal of sadness and a heavy heart my dad could not remember my name or our relationship. My dad did answer with my mom's name; incidentally my my died 12 years ago.   Shame on her.  This is not the first time that I have had these unfortune dealings with this bank.  I don't understand why, when I ask to be part of a conversation on the phone instead of being a go between the individul on the other line said NO.  That is unacceptable.  You are trying to help me but yet refuse to let me be part of the conversation...not a good practice.   The bottom line is their suggestions to help us was, take my dad off his account, see an attorney...no help at all.  I left so frustrated angry and beside myself.  I also was taken back when she ask my dad, So what would you like to do Mr. XXXX,  REALLY, what type of an answer would you expect from a man that suffers from Dementia/Alzheimers, your lack of experience on how to handle situations like these are lacking a great deal and you need sensitivity training at the least.  The worst part is my dad was so so confused when we left we were both in tears by the time we got home.  Shame on you Bank of America.

Let's be clear, the poor employees working for the Godforsaken bank aren't the ones to blame. They are working for a large, corporate conglomerate that doesn't care about you, or your measly checking account, or your weekly paycheck! They are only interested in making fees off the consumer and big business. Period. So they'll continue to layoff tellers and office staff and leave the remaining ones to fend for themselves. They have no interest in customer service and leave people waiting forever to do simple transactions. Support small, local banks and credit unions and forget this place!

Furious with this branch. I have had a savings account with this branch since circa 2007/2008. Have always had over $100,000 in this account. I went into the branch to close the account yesterday (June 2018). The teller manager was very professional and nice (I do not know her name, she was a young caucasan pregnant female). She informed me I needed to meet with a banker since I was closing and withdrawing. And to make sure the withdrawal balance was correct. Which i did, then i got back in the teller line to get a cashiers check.
Their computer systems were down - so that took awhile. Waited another 15-20 minutes. Left the branch, cashiers check in hand. Thought everything was closed/handled.
 Later that day, I start getting "low balance" emails. Of course it was a low balance, i just spent 35 minutes in a branch closing the account to zero... Then today (next day) I got an email that my account was overdrawn by a $35 fee. Seriously? The banker was so incompetent that he could not process this correctly?? I attempted to call the BOA Myers Park bank branch 6 times today - all day the recording said "no one is available to answer your call"... It does not allow a message option. Now I am on a 20 minute hold with BOA's 1-800 number.
This bank - and this Myers Park branch has serious competency issues. It  What branch never answers their phone??? I have tried for hours

Every time you go in for service there's always a 45 minutes to an hour wait and there's never anybody in the lobby! Worst service ever especially when you get charged just to have a checking account with them if you do not have direct deposit. Very sad super disappointed by Bank of America continuously!

A staff member at this store actually had me fall into a fraud trap. Ive had nothing but problems with US Bank when my account got hacked into and the US Bank guy said everything would be fine. My mobile info was hacked into and two deposits where made and withdrawn leaving my account almost 2700$ overdrawn. Since then, I still have yet to have a se4cond account opened and everyone I speak too is confused and lost. If the guy at this branch had let me change my account informany (Account/routing #) like I had asked then I wouldn't be in this mess.
