This bank has continually added fees on top of fee. One time they called me, all other times they fee me knowing funds will be available. Weekly for years payroll has been deposited and they put charges on before they pay higher amounts then run a check multiple times adding more fees.
This practice is unacceptable by all customers and happens to often. What a bunch of crooks, very unethical.
When I was about to enter the Tigard Branch bank today, one of the employees who also has been very unfriendly and root to me on a ongoing basis, was standing at the inside door who could have opened it for me but instead walked over to his desk without saying hello or welcome or even a good bye when I left. My banking experience has not been pleasant when this employee is present and I dread going there.
I am with this bank more than 16 years. Went to get car loan. No courtesy and offered higher interest rate than other bankers. I had my CD there and made 400 dollars. I asked to get that money. She said that I have to pay 700 dollars in fine to get that money.
I said I will have to find better services outside of this bank.. she welcomed me so nicely that I would never come back to this bank for service. I will find some better bank where they value their loyal customers.

I'm so pissed I'm speechless. I opened up a new account with bank of the west and deposited $1800 roughly. I've been locked out if my account. Told to check secure messages I can't access and now I find out all my money is gone and my account is negative $140!!!
I haven't even been able to activate my damn debit card! What the hell is going on? I've been in Oregon with my undying sister a d this is how you treat your customers? What the hell! Call me 559 365 0064
Bank of the West charged excessive overdraft fees and posts charges that are not correct. The last straw is when they debuted my account when I know I did not go into the Bank On said date. The tellers Gaslight you especially when they think they can.
Go to a Real Bank with Tellers who don’t treat you like you’re uneducated just because you have a disability. It is none of their business
My ex husband cashed an escrow check that was in both our names. He deposited it into his Bank of the West account. If this is in fact your acceptable policy I suggest you take a long hard look at being part of this behavior of what comes down to stealing. I was told by Jennifer Nunes that since the names were stacked that it a non issue because that's your policy. While $1200 (approximately my half) might seem like a small amount to you, it is a mortgage payment for me. I was informed by an outside source that even if this is your policy, it would NOT be common practice to allow the deposit into an account without both our names being on the account. Please forward me your policy in writing.

Customer service and supervisor Over charging fees of 35.00 when on line banking had already shown paid. They change it to say , that it can go through and then if you do a debit and even through you put money in, it bounced twice. Keep changing the item that was charged .
Online banking access problem outside the USA, access denied for over 2 weeks. Five secure messages sent, but bank doesn't answer its own secure messages about accounts. Extremely poor customer service.
My individual checking account was frozen and locked a few weeks ago. I had to call a few times before I was able to get it unlocked. Then about 2 weeks after that my wifes joint account with me was locked and she had to open a entirely new account so now I do not have the option to transfer funds between BOW accounts.
This mourning I activated a Zelle account threw BOW and made a $25 test transfer that went threw on the 2nd attempt, (my wife had to change her Zelle phone number to the new account). When I went to make a 2nd transfer it locked my Zelle.
I tried calling the customer service number before going to work, 15 minute and no answer. Tried again this evening at 4 01 pm MST on hold for 1 hr 17 min 12 seconds before it said due to networking difficulties it could not process my…
Very hard for us to phone deposit a check. I'm old and shake a little. So I have my wife do it as she doesn't shake at all. Tried several times to get it to take. Never did. What you have to go through isn't worth it.
We opened up an account with US Bank so my wife could cash her pay check right away. Do their phone deposit and boom works EASY. When the bank senses good shot t it automatically snaps the picture. You might consider using whatever phone deposit camera US Bank uses as it is so easy.
Thank you for your time and listening to me.
My wife and I bought a new Tracker boat from Bass Pro in Cary, NC. The loan was purchased by Bank of the West in 2015. All of our payments have been made on time and in correct amounts since that time.
We moved from NC to the state of Washington, re-registered the boat and trailer in that state in June, 2016, thinking that the state of Washington had obtained the original Title from Bank of the West since we filled out all of the necessary paperwork to do so. Washington issued us a new registration for both the boat and the trailer, but we never received a copy of the new title that would have been sent to Bank of the West from the state of Washington.
As it has turned out our North Carolina title still exists and is being held by Bank of the West. We recently moved from Washington state…
00 in hand. We were told that there was no one there who could help us. The teller who told us that said it with a don"t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out attitude.
So, instead of opening a new acct, we closed an existing checking acct and money market acct to the tune of about $100,000. I am very happy for you that your banks are doing so well that you don"t need new customers or try to accommodate your existing customers.
For what it is worth, this isn"t the first problem we have had with this branch; a year or so ago, when we opened the checking account,we were also told they did not have time to service us, but since we really wanted to use your bank, we did go back another day. Not this time.
I filed a complaint to Consumer Protection Unit in County of Santa Clara about the return check issue. But Bank of the West provided false statements in the reply. "On March 5, 2019, Mr. Cheung spoke with Tina Martinez, Regional Manager/Senior Vice President, regarding the returned item and his interactions with the branch personnel. Ms. Martinez also advised Mr.
" However, I never discussed "return item" with Tina Martinez. In the letter, Bank of the West wrote "If Mr. Cheung should have any other questions or concerns, please have him contact Ms. " When I contacted Tina Martinez, she didn't know anything about that letter.
She didn't want to discuss with me and asked someone with the phone number 650-343-2792 to call me. But that person didn't understand the situation and argued with…
Because San Jose Main Branch is moving and has no safety deposit boxes available at their new location, I was sent a letter stating I was required to take the contents of my 2 existing safety deposit boxes and move them to another Bank of the West location. Today I went into the San Jose Main Branch where my safety deposit boxes are located arriving at 10:45 AM this morning and spoke to a representative named Beatriz.
She was very helpful in getting both of my boxes closed. She also helped me by checking with the Civic Center Branch in San Jose and the Hamilton Avenue/ Meridian Branch in San Jose to see if they had any boxes available.
Beatriz first confirmed with Hamilton Avenue Branch who said they had a 10 x 10 box available. She informed them I was coming. I emptied the contents of…
After waiting on hold for 30 minutes, the costumer service person hung up right after picking up the phone. They didn't even say a word. I knew they picked up the phone because I could hear the sound a computer makes when it receives an email. Very disappointed.
1. I opened a CD #049435654 on 10/10/2017 by Deanna O. 45% interest rate. I am asking your investigation, it is regarding the reputation of Bank of the West. 2. The mail code is paper & electronic. But I did not receive mature notice either paper or electronic. Please investigate. 3.
The renewal notice date was two days after mature date, 8 days before grace period date. 12%. It is not legally correct. 4. 36% rate I did not get. 12% rate. The original CD was 13 months. Why? 5. I am a long time customer with Bank of the West and the banks before Bank of the West over around 40 years.
I have good relationship with the different branches of Bank of the West in Alhambra except the newly established office on Main and Garfield. I lost my confidence and trust by the dishonest ways to the cheat…
A little over two years ago I opened a Bank of the West 12 month CD at a promotional rate. At the end of the year the Bank of the West was offering another promotional rate which I thought I would receive - the bank doesn't reveal the new rate until after it rolls over.
I waited a few days beyond the grace period before I phoned and asked about the new rate. My rate was one tenth of my previous rate and the promotional they were offering. I said I would close the account.
OK, I was told but it would cost me 3% of the amount of the CD. This was very upsetting but partially my fault for assuming Bank of the West would charge 3 months interest like other banks I've dealt with.
I decided it was better to deal with the loss of interest for a year than take a very large loss in my principal.…
Warning stay away from doing business with this bank.
I called customer service to get help resetting my password and the representative said she couldnt unblock my account so I asked to speak. To the supervisor for online banking gemil and he was extreme rude and short . I was very surprised with the terrible customer service I recieved.
As a christian I find that this rainbow flag flying in front your offices in Omaha, NE as offensive. Will you put up a Christian flag and value our principles as well. Why are you segregating gays from the christian values?

J. Matt Barber, Associate Dean for Online Programs at Liberty University School of Law,
The Bible, in Leviticus 18:22, states: "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination," thus condemning homosexual relationships. "Again the Bible or Jesus and God"

I have been trying for 3 hours to get information on my boat loan. They say I can only talk to one person and this person will not answer her phone nor return my calls. This bank is disgusting. I wish I had never used them.
I wouldn’t have if I had read the reviews online.
Poor customer service/attitude at the Lockford California Branch.
I have been a Bank of the West customer since 1976. I moved from the Bay Area to Valley Springs, California about 3.5 years ago and have been using the Lockford Branch for my checking account.. About 2 or 3 times I deposit a $20,000 or larger check from Morgan Stanley into my account. Most times there is no hold put on the check but today I deposited a $44,000 from Morgan Stanley. I was told that I could only get $100 now and that I had to wait until Tuesday April 17th for the first $5000 to be available and until April 24th for the remaining $39,000 to clear. I told the bank teller and supervisor that there is an extensive history of me depositing Morgan Stanley checks which they verified. I was told that they had to still…
I have an account in Winslow, Arizona. I am now living in Honolulu, due to my wife's cancer treatment at Queens Hosptal. I cannot change my mailing address to here,, I cannot do anything on line. EVerything I try to do is demanding that I appear in person.
It's a hell of a long ways from Honolulu to Winslow Arizona to appear in Person. I'be been able to log into all my other accounts, Wells Fargo, Charles Schwab, TD Ameritrade, etc; with no problems. What do I do?
Bank staff is rude and unwilling to help when they put a check on hold and refused to let me know beforehand. When I explained this is my only bank and they have my only source of income on hold and that I wouldn't be able to get gas or even provide groceries for my kids they turned me away and said they couldn't help.
They charged me an overdraft fee after they said I wouldn't be charged and refused to reverse it. This bank is the absolute worst bank I've ever dealt with. They are rude and unprofessional. Bank anywhere else but here.
even though I have signed finatial agreement for her.
finally I talked to a supervisor instead of freezing a account she closed it. Her name was Jill # 48718. How frustrating and how pathetic that this business chooses to help crooks out! And potentially loose a customer/s of nearly 10 years.
This has been my bank for the past ten plus years and recently this has become the worst bank I have experienced. The only thing consistent with this bank is the rude unprofessionalism of their employees, their fees that occur for no reason because of their inconsistent hours of operation.
when bank branches make up their own own hours the do not coincide with other branches it completely unprofessional. And the customer service representatives are so incompetent and rude it makes me wonder if your bank isn't the next one to be exposed for imbeselment of their customers hard earned money.
I would appreciate a response on this matter,Thank you.
Failure of your lien release dept. to do their job efficiently. Why should Owen Michel be allowed to tell me that account is paid in full September 29 date of letter is October 12 and in the letter he informs me that I'll receive collateral within aprox. 10 business days.
We call a lien release, collateral? People need releases so they can process titles and you as a supposed bank should appreciate that. The acct last 4 is xxxxx0759 Debbie J Schech. In your file she has authorized the release to be sent to me.
William L Snyder 1327 Dillon Heights Ave Catonsville Md 21228 my 1st impression of your bank is not good. Thanks for resolving this in a prompt manner.
I have been a customer with 3 accounts for the past 25+ years. Over these these years I have never been charged for a notary. 00. The new branch manager -Stephanie M Vigil - who had me wait - thanked me for my patience.
We sat down and she told me of the charge and I said I have never been charged before and she replied that I should have been. She was cold,not friendly or talkative. I attested and she backed off. Notary charges for long time customers ??
I have been banking with Bank of the West for about a year now. 3 weeks ago I went into the branch because my chip was damaged and asked for a new card, they assured me they ordered it. Fast forward two weeks, I have no card so I went in again and they told me they “never ordered it” OK.
So I asked them to do a deposit and they said I couldn’t at this time bc my id was expired that all they could do was take out $100 dollars for me. Ok ... I called up customer service and asked for a supervisor.
The supervisor went ahead and assured me I wouldn’t have any over draft fees due to the banks mistake. I am now at day 21 of this bullshit. With4 over draft fees and no help. Both supervisors bobby (1370 agent ID) who all she could do it apologize but not even try to help and EVAN agent ID 48745…

Dear Customer Service,
I am writing this letter as I was told during my phone call today with Jeff that it was the only alternative at this time. As I explained to him, I began working on the refinance of our home with BOW last summer while I was off from school. I spent a great deal of time gathering all the information needed to make the refinance possible. We didn't sign the papers until October after school was back in session. During the process, I remember stating that I wanted our taxes and house insurance included. Kenny and I had been paying these expenses on our own. It was requiring a lot of planning and dedication to have the total amount when due. Our loan officer said that taxes and insurance could be added. I…
i had fraud on one of my accounts. It went as far back as Dec 2015. Which I didn't notice because it was only once a month. And i did buy things over the internet so without thinking I didn't question. Until one day I notice that it was more than once a month and the payments were the same amount of dollars but different in the cents. So i filled out a form with all of those payments I didn't make. I knew the bank wasn't going to credit my account for all because they only went back 60 days.
If I would have thought that putting down all the wrong transactions that were made was going to not get the 60 days of wrong transactions credited to my account. I should of only wrote the wrong transactions that occurred in the 60 day time limit. Because now they won't pay any of it because it could…
My attorney submitted a Declaration of Lost Cashier's Check form vetted and correctly completed, this is the fourth form I have submitted to Bank of the West to reclaim my lost 5,000 cashier's check. The bank has been using a stall tactic each time.
This time it was the quality of the form. I was not surprised to see the low rating for Bank of the West customer service given this institution on this site. I hope I am not forced to go to suit as I live on a Pacific Island and lost the instrument in transit over five months ago.
I give them one star.
This bank has a thief system, charging you any fees that they want. I opened a saving account, was told that i can make only 6 transfers a month, if i go other. I will not be allowed to transfer anymore.
They didn't mention any charge of fees. That charged 75$ and I need my money back. I have closed my account because of it. I feel robbed by giving me the wrong information.
I contacted Bank of the West customer service on May 2nd and May 3rd leaving messages to make payment to catch up the back payments missed. I received no calls back. I spoke to the local branch bank and they said their systems had been down and someone would call as soon as possible. So I waited. I was behind a couple of months on payments and had gotten the money together to catch up. On May 4th my car was repossessed. I called on May 5th to inquire and was finally was sent to speak with Ms. Jennifer Shipe. After the initial name, address given, I asked if the bank had my car and if they did why didn’t they call me back when I called and left messages. She verified the car was in the possession of the repo company but stated they had no record of my calls or messages.
I explained to her…
Filed a dispute at Bank of the West against unauthorized charges on my debit card which we're denied. Upon calling to inquire as to the basis of denial due to the fact that my entire wallet was stolen and the claim was filed with all necessary information at the branch. The statement i received stated insufficient information received so the claim was denied. The person whom my case was assigned to was very rude and information that was used to determine decision for claim denied was incorrect, as i attempted to explain the misunderstanding she immediately began to argue that the information was not incorrect and even strongly implemented that i had fraudulently claimed charges that were mine as if they weren't!
Continued to argue that it was my responsibility to make sure certain…
0 stars. Bank of the West customer service department made me wait forever with my 6 month old daughter to open an account. I was the first person there. 8 other families went ahead of me and I still didn't get to open an account.
Next time I am going somewhere else and you can tell the corporate office they can expect many more complaints in the future from angry members of your bank.
I found it very difficult to do my online transactions as I didnât find trust worthy bank and at last Bank of the West made my life easier. Thank you Bank of the West for giving me the best online banking services on my finger tips.

My husband and I decided to sell our trailer 4 months ago. We got a buyer and called the bank to find out if it would be more expedient to do a transfer via the banks or pay off our trailer and get the pink slip and complete the transaction. We were advised to pay off the trailer, which we did 3 months ago. We waited for a month for our pink slip/title....and it never came. We called bank of the west and explained the situation and were told that a "Rush request" would be placed that day.
We waited another 3 weeks.....still no title. We called again 3 weeks ago and after almost another hour on the phone and multiple transfers, we finally spoke with"Katy", apparently a "manager". We were told that the "rush request" was never made. Stated that although we had updated our address with bank…
