Is Wells Fargo the best bank in America?

no

Wells Fargo sucks.

all banks suck. use a shoebox.

You're probably right.

Considering that checking accounts are a great convenience, we need a safe bank. So, check out your bank. My bank has a 5-star rating. Does yours?:

They support the illegal alien factor try a credit union.

idiot... they all work together and are the same.


what a clueless person. first day on glp ?

First Interstate Bank used to have the habit of posting deposits as debits so that the account would be overdrawn and they could assess more fees. Wells Fargo bought First Interstate. I wonder if that improved their service?

Agreed. Run away. Run away from Wells Fargo.

They were a big help to me, offering me a much
lower interest rate on my new truck. They saved me over 150 dollars a month!

People are friendly.

They over-do the personal ID thing. But besides that,

there fine.

Would not bank anywhere else.

well I can tell you all this..

wells fargo is so underwater with the sub-prim loans.......they can not cross the street with out dropping water....or hold their water....LOL

I've been off the grid as far as banks go for over a year.

Its the only way to go.

we need private vaults.....

I beleive Wells Fargo has connections to the Hells Angels MC and there was a "60 Minutes" expose on this seeral years ago.
Is that what you are looking for a bank with crimnal ties?

HELL NO!!!!

how bout Wachovia?

if you had to use a bank, then which is best?

credit union

i like them

Credit Unions are better than banks.

I have worked in both banks computer centers (and many other bank centers for IBM service div.) repairing their hardware. I can assure you that neither bank should be in operation. They are the biggest bunch of screw ups in the banking industry.

I have read that BOA lost a law suit for giving out a customers money to the I.R.S. without any proof or warrant. To cover their asses they sent out notices to all of their customers that they will now hand out your money to anybody that presents a request for that money. They hid it in one of those fine print operations statements. They also said that if you leave your money in the bank after this notice that you are in full agreement with those terms and cannot sue them.

I feel sorry for anybody dense enough to bank with either of Wells Fargo or BOA.

I don't use banks except to cash checks and pay bills. The only amount of money I have in the bank is strictly for bills. There is always a local bank somewhere that will not charge you anything to do that. Somebody said something about credit unions being better and that is probably true if it is local.

Bottom line if the bank wants to keep your money what the hell are you going to do about it. If there is a crisis the first thing they do is shut down the banks so people can't flood them with withdraws, cause the banks don't carry enough cash to cover what has been deposited in them.

I am probably telling my age but I remember when the banks where their to help you and now the banks are here to rule over your financial life.

Be smart keep the majority of your money out of the banks. Get a fireproof safe. Bury it in a jar in the back yard, anything but let those thieves keep it.

My wife used to work in the banks research dept.. When somebody made an error and the customer was owed money unless the customer came looking for that money the banks have the right to keep it after so many days, like lost and found! She said there were tens of thousands being turned over to the bank every month that customers didn't know they had. Most of the time the customer didn't know because that kept bad records themselves.

Thanks for the vital info, 259213.

Every six months to a year a Wells-Fargo representative calls my house looking for a guy with the same name as me. She proceeds to ask me when I plan to pay back the $1200.00 I borrowed, and I tell her I don't do business with Wells-Fargo because they are incompetent. She then says "sir, is your social security number XXX-XX-XXXX? to which I reply "not even close, QUIT CALLING ME!!" and crash the phone on her.

Oh man. That sucks. What they did to you was criminal harrassment.

Next time they call and the person is a woman I plan on asking her if the call is being recorded. If she says yes I'll ask her if she's wearing panties and that I can smell her scent through them, all the while smacking my lips and breathing heavy. Hopefully they'll get the message and not call again.

Just tell them it's criminal harrassment, ask for the name of the caller then call the police.

I USE THE RELIABLE MATTRESS BANK

I do like some of the posters do above, I only put enough money in the bank to cover the bills that I have to write checks for. I didn't even have to do that for a long time because I could pay all my bills in person with cash.

The big banks have really creepy policies. Both Bank of America and US Bank charge a 5.00 fee to cash a check drawn on a business account at their own bank. In other words if you go to cash your payroll check at the bank it's drawn on, it will cost you 5.00, unless the person with the business account agrees to pay the fee. I think it's a rotten policy that stinks.

I had a really bad experience with US Bank once a few years ago, BUT things balance out I guess because right now I have a checking account with them and I had a really good guy there for a while who set me up with a lot of really good extra features. It's the best banking I've had, right now, but there is no loyalty these days, I will take advantage of the situation while I have such good features and flexibility there, but if things change, I'm out of there.

I resent the literature and signs in Spanish, that's for sure.

Try UNION BANK, I just closed my acct. tho due to moving out of country.
Had them for 20 years, decent service, of course I had a business acct.

If you want a checking acct. that PAYS YOU 1.26% INTEREST, which I've had for four years, go to First Internet Bank Of Indiana....great service thru the internet.
