I absolutely love my chase bank. They have been nothing but helpful.  I have opened my daughters accounts there and thought the service was tremendous, we were never pushed to open something that we did not want or products were not pushed on us.  The people especially the manager remembers my name everytime I walk in and I don't walk in alot, I am always impressed by that.  They are very friendly and I like seeing the same faces year after year. Unlike many of the reviews I have read I love my Chase Banking Experiences.

Opened up a dozen business accounts after B of A decided to start charging fees on things I had always received for free (psssssst... NOT a good way to keep established accounts!). I was their client for 21 years.

I cannot speak about all Chase branch locations, but the dozen or so I use regularly are staffed by people who neither look, sound nor act like bankers. I suspect they are so staffed due to political correctness and cowering to the criminal class. Draw your own conclusions there. Bankers are supposed to meet my needs for managing my accounts and information about them. Their purpose is not to make me wait. Well, Chase, I am looking for a new bank.

I am told the best way to go is to go with a one-branch bank, where you can know and talk with the same people every time. I like that idea. I do not need to be wowed by cathedral ceilings or ten-foot windows. Give me an available banker, decent hours, a drive-through, online access and an ATM card, and I am happy. I can still use the ATM anywhere in the world, and my businesses do not have any need for the big expensive services of huge banks. So, I am now on the hunt for a small-town bank with big smiles, professional attitudes and honest numbers. Know of any?

I went to Chase because B of A cost me alot of money. I am leaving Chase because their branch staff are incompetent. Wish me luck on my search. I think it will be like finding a virgin at the state university.

Hey Chase, get your women bankers out of pants... they look ridiculous!

After opening a personal and business account almost 10 years ago I'm still a stranger every time I go there. A few weeks ago I had to show my Drivers license to DEPOSIT a check in my business account. What's coming next? It's  a hassel to change Banks ... but I'm strongly considering doing so. On the positive side of things ... the online banking features are great!

Unethical Sales Practices

by Disgruntled, Jan. 10, 2011

This branch is conducting unethical sales practices by using a technique called "mining" to get additional business from their existing customer by selling you new products in their portfolio with any liquid assets you may have at hand or by rolling over investments you may have with other companies into financial investments they offer.  "Mining" occurs when a financial service company devises sales strategies designed to generate additional sales from their current customers. Devising ways to get you seated in front of one of their financial service representatives  so they can "fact find" and question you regarding assets you hold with them, (which they already know of) but more importantly your other investments holdings with other companies with rollover opportunities for them.

I arrived today to conduct a simple transaction at the counter,to deposit a check I received into my personal checking account. This "mining strategy" I experienced was devised under the guise of " customer service". I was third in the counter transaction line with one teller working. At that time, the first person waiting in line was approached by one of their financial service representatives and advised she would help her at her desk with her transaction so she wouldn't have to wait. Two other financial service representatives approached the second person in line and then myself the third person in line offering the same "customer service" so we would not have to wait to see a teller. This whole "mining" (digging for money, hence the term) procedure is nothing more than an unethical way to get you seated in front of one of their financial service representatives for additional investment sales opportunities.

I was asked if I frequently made deposits of the size in which I was making which was an auto accident settlement check from my insurer. I was also asked about savings,which I would not disclose. She clearly knew that I had none with Chase while reviewing my account data on her computer.  Realizing what was going on I told her to conduct my transaction not offering any response to her inquiries.

Her manager served as the runner taking transaction paper work back to another teller sitting away from the main transaction counter, a ploy to make it appear as though only one teller was available to conduct transactions and create the illusion that they were doing this under the guise of customer service.

I'm heading to the Better Business Bureau tomorrow reporting this incident and demand the JP Morgan Chase Corporate ethics personnel are notified regarding these practices at the Wadsworth, Ohio branch

These people are crooks.  I signed up for an everything free Senior Account.  After we had a disagreement on a CD closure, I dropped my account total way down.  When Washington Mutual merged with Chase they notified me they were changing me to a service charge account.  I objected but they did it anyway.  They then took all the money from my account.  They are crooks.

There are a couple of nice employees here, but some strange ones, too.  Last time I had a transaction, the branch manager took care of me but never came back with my cards or receipt.  I asked someone else to retrieve my debit card, which he had taken.  It wasn't until I got to my car that I realized I needed to make a transfer into my account.  Why couldn't the manager have brought this to my attention, instead of disappearing?  Some banker.

This afternoon I took my daughter into the Times Corners Branch to learn how to use her account while studying abroad.  Knowing that online banking provided the service to set up "travel alerts," I thought it would be best if the information would come from the banking professionals.  I was shocked that the personal banker knew nothing about the online banking and when I tried to "lead" her to the answer for her to save face, she indigently told me there was no such option in t online banking. She then gave us the 800 collect number for my daughter to use while traveling abroad.  I asked her since it was an international call if an 01 prefix would be needed and she responded absolutely not. (she later admitted that she did not know that for sure)  After we arrived home, I showed my daughter how easily it was done online under the customer service tab.  I then copied the pages and went back to the branch to show our personal banker how to do it.  She told me it was not part of her job.  I then spoke to the branch manager who also had no idea about the online banking.  He said it was not the duty of the branch to educate people on online banking.  I told him I was shocked that the personal bankers did not know their Chase products, let alone the Branch Mgr. I've had many other experiences at this branch to lead me to believe there is little if any training for their branch staff.  The tellers are always pleasant. hard working and knowledgeable, but the personal bankers and branch mgt. are truly sub par.  A"desk" does not give an individual knowledge!  Chase...Educate your employees!!!!  The branch managers should know the Chase products and be able to discuss/advise them properly.  Always having access  to Executive Banking, I never realized the dichotomy between the "haves" and the "have nots!"  My advise to the people that use this branch is to  educate themselves before entering the branch. There should be a disclaimer on the front door, "Buyer beware, the information that you may receive may not be accurate."  C'mon Chase, if you valued the hard working branch customers you would educate the employees that advised them.

Chase/JP Morgan bank employees are arrogant and dismissive. I called to inquire about purchasing a Deed of Trust on a property where my neighbor is in default. I had the loan number, the original date and amount of the note and other pertinent information, but was told that by the banker, that Chase will not sell non-performing assets to individuals and No, there was no one else there I could speak with.

I relocated from NYC to Merritt Island, and I was charged $120 for Bank Statements when I was just making a remark that I wish I could view more than 3 months of activities on my business account, since I love that activity log---the worker said he could do it and returned with a foot high of STATEMENTS and then when I got home not only had the 2 accounts NOT closed that I was there to close to begin with, but they remained open with $120 charge...then the woman at the desk literally LIED about me and to me, there is NO excuses for lying, that's ridiculous.

This is the SLOWEST bank drive-thru I have ever used.  This is the only Chase location at which I have had these kinds of problems.  I gave up going to this branch altogether, as I would consistently have extremely long waits.  The majority of the staff there is a bunch of young ladies - they are slow and rude!  You're better off driving to a farther branch...believe me, you'll be on your way much quicker, and treated much better.

Two weeks ago, my husband and I entered the Chase Bank located at 7675 W. Bell Rd, Peoria AZ. We were there to pay off my auto loan. We were greeted immediately by a young man who seemed very qualified. He gave us the pay-off information, accepted our check, gave me a print out and a copy of the check (written to pay off the loan), and said we should receive a clear title within 30 days. Today, I received a call from a Chase Collection agent saying that my auto loan payment was ten days late.
Now, I have to go back to that brnach and find out what happened and haggle over the payment as Chase believes late charges and additional interest (accrued in the last two weeks) is due.
I am very disappointed!!!!!!!

My branch broke two federal regulations on foreign checks that I deposited. The assistant manager admitted that this was a "colossal failure" on the branch's part. The VP of the branch was extremely mean to me and my wife and suggested that if I didn't like Chase's policies I should leave the bank. He was even dumb enough to put this in writing. The VP of the branch also said that my wife and I should be more understanding with his branch even though they broke two federal regulations. As he put it, "It's not every day that we deal with foreign checks so you can't expect us to get it right every time!"

Because of my branch's "colossal failure" my deposit of a Canadian check is now being sent to collections where it could remain for six weeks. After that, the funds will be returned to my account.

I talked to a competitor about this process and they said, "It should only take one week!"

For the record, the assistant manager told me and my wife that had the transaction been done correctly and the right paperwork been filed we would've received the funds in one week.

My last phone call with the VP ended with him saying, "I don't want to discuss this anymore with you! Don't call me again!"

Unbelievable!

DO NOT USE THS BRANCH!!!

On December 14 I walk in to the CHASE branch on 3rd avenue and 51 streets
To cash two checks. At the door a bank employee grab me and made me to follow her.
She ask me to sit at the box office and than ask me what credit cards I have after what she ask what I need. I gave her two checks to cash. She ask my Bank Card and my ID. She took  my driving License with checks and left.
She came back without my driving license card .She made some work for us talk to us and what happen to my ID-driving license I didn’t see. Later on she went
Back and brought me cash and my ID- license card. I still worry who operated with my ID, did they take copy of it. These kinds of service operation never happen to me.
I left disappointed and worried what they did with my ID card.  I don’t feel confidence any more in this kind of service. It made me thinking if I wish to to continue to stay with CHASE.

i banked with case 4 around 3 yrs had two business accounts and a personal. There online banking is awesome. And there online service is great for keeping good records for accounting. But they are a big corporate giant that u cannot get to a real person with power to make decisions when u have a issue. The branch vice Presidents have no power to really speak of. I sold a car on E-Bay and was sent a counterfeit cashier check. I didn't spend the money.  I filed a Police report and chase froze my accounts not just one but all for 10 days then closed all the accounts bounced many checks i had out there the vice President of the branch i brought all paperwork and police info she called main office and they said higher ups made a final decision on closing accounts and we could not speak to no one with authority to reverse the decision this bank is the worst Bank Ive ever dealt with i will know on only deal with community banks were u can speak to a person who has power.

Stephanie, the Branch Manager at Chase Maxtown in Westerville OH, is a know-it-all and has no idea what customer service is. She needs to pick up a few self help books on building rapport. I have a business account that runs over $150,000 a month through the account and she treated me like garbage. If I treated my clients this way, I would be bancrupt.

Made an ATM deposit at this Irvine, CA Chase branch on Nov. 15 of my largest monthly commission check from Aetna and 2 smaller checks. This is my local branch.  ATM ate my deposit, citing a technical failure. The branch insisted I leave and file a claim to their claim dept. 7 days later when I called to see why the claim's still open, the rep disconnected my call saying they would no longer accept future calls from me. Very scary. Be forewarned.
