It just has a "home town bank" feel to it - the folks that work there (Cherie is our fave :-) that take really good care of their customers. It's a tad more cumbersome in some ways than the "big banks" - they don't have lobby deposit slips for example, and the drive thru can be a tad slower than some other banks - but the friendly helpful attitudes more than make up for any of the very minor inconveniences.

Went in yesterday to cash my check. I told the teller that I had recently got a new job and I…read moreneeded all of my $497 check to go directly to bill so I couldn't have anything on hold. She's advised she couldn't so i told her then deposit the check and I'll just close the account down to get my all my cash right away. Javon, the assistant manager I'm guessing , immediately pulled me over to the next window. He told me they wanted to keep my business but there had to be a hold. I again told him I just moved back home from another state and needed all the cash to pay bills right away and I was willing to shut down my account if I couldn't get it today. So he told me I could deposit the check and get 200 today, get direct deposit to avoid this in ghe future, or walk to bank of America and cash is for $6. I let him know I have been a chase customer for 2 years now with no problems and I know that I can get my full check cashed as I've done it before. He let me know that yes that was a possibility but he doesn't know me and has to protect his job. So I asked to speak to a manager. Which must have hit a nerve because he escalated from there. He said he gave me 3 options already, and repeated them like he was doing me a favor giving me options that didn't get me what I needed without sending me to another bank waisting more of my time, spending more of my money. I then asked for my check back and walked to BofA. I will be shutting down my chase account as soon as I get the chance. I work in customer service and this was some of the most horrible service I've ever got at my bank.

NO CASH ALLOWED! The bank is staffed with very polite tellers saddled with one of the most…read moreincredible rules I have ever seen. You may not deposit cash into anyone else's account. You cannot make a cash deposit for a friend. You will instead be invited to go to the store and buy a money order to deposit. It does not matter that you do not want any balance info, you just can't put money in. In fact, having run afoul of this policy on Monday, another friend who banls with Chase offered to make the deposit rather than me writing a check to deposit which they could hold a couple days. They had her get a money order (FROM CHASE AT THE COUNTER) and then deposit that into the account. When she asked why, they cited "money laundering". Apparently it doesn't count for money orders??? Someone needs to tell the dealers and terrorists to buy money orders and then deposit those for CHASE cleaned money.

I purchased a home last month, and the seller's mortgage was with Umpqua, who nearly unraveled the…read moreentire transaction. We were set to close on our new home on a Friday, which was great because we could move in on Saturday and then were heading out Saturday evening for a week-long vacation outside of Leavenworth. Everything was moving along faster than expected, and we actually had the opportunity to close a few days earlier, on that Wednesday instead. Our mortgage lender had everything lined up, home insurance lined up, escrow was all in order, and the sellers had everything lined up with requesting payoff info for their mortgage. At this point, everyone is simply waiting for Umpqua to deliver one single document with payoff info for escrow. Tuesday morning, they say "it'll be there by EOD". Wednesday they say "it'll be there by EOD". At this point Wednesday closing is out, and Thursday is highly unlikely. Everyone is on the phone calling everyone--our escrow agent is calling Umpqua every hour. The sellers' agent is calling Umpqua every hour. My agent is calling escrow and the sellers' agent every hour. Umpqua tells us they'll send it over by EOD Thursday. That doesn't happen. Friday morning, they suddenly say that the sellers need to actually wet sign the document for release. What is this, the 90s? Docusign is a thing. Also, why didn't Umpqua notify the sellers of this a week ago? So now our original closing date of Friday is out of the question, and we have no idea if/when we will close. We have to extend our closing timeline into the next week. Meanwhile, my family and I head out to Leavenworth on vacation, with our old home entirely packed up. So if this transaction doesn't go through, my young children literally will not have beds to sleep on when we get back from Leavenworth. Monday comes around, and everybody is trying to escalate things and we get ahold of some director at Umpqua corporate, who promises to expedite things. Great! He says he has the document and can send it over. But wait! The payoff request was for last week so now it's no longer accurate since the payoff amount has changed, so the sellers need to submit a new payoff request. I'm now worried we're going to be stuck in this infinite loop of the seller requesting payoff, it taking multiple days for that to process, and now they have to request it again since the amount is no longer correct, etc etc. Sellers resubmit the request, "it will be over by EOD". It's not over by EOD. Tuesday morning we hear "it's in our process, it can take 1-5 business days, there's nothing I can do". Literally all they have to do is email / fax a single page to escrow. We're unsure now if we'll even close on the house before we get back from vacation. I believe it was Wednesday midday we finally close. Thank god. Now, my wife and I have to leave vacation, leave our kids with my parents and brother, and drive back to Tacoma from Leavenworth in order to move everything into our new house and get cribs and beds set up. Then drive back to Leavenworth on Thursday evening, essentially losing a day and a half of our vacation. Our escrow agent told us that she has never witnessed such disorganization and incompetence in all her decades in this business. She also said that she does all her personal banking with Umpqua and this experience made her leave Umpqua entirely. Oh, and the real frustrating part? I believe the payoff amount was only 4 figures, maybe in the low 5 figures. Umpqua messed up HOURS of work from like half a dozen people, all over a few thousand dollars. At the end of the day, we got our house and are super happy, but I think I aged a year in that week. So whatever you do, DO NOT get a mortgage or HELOC with Umpqua or you will be doomed by their utter lack of basic processing.

Once an employee in the room was finished, she came to greet us and checked us what the purpose of our visit was. We let her know and she said she could get us scheduled in for a little later as they had some staff members show up. We got some lunch nearby and stopped by again and we were helped by another employee. Connor was very personable and ensured that all questions or concerns were addressed as we brought them up. Additionally, I didn't know how to use their coffee machine and he kindly made me a cup of hot chocolate as the hot chocolate packet was out too. Connor then gets right to work as he helped my boyfriend make his account and made sure to give any cautions or tips for his account. Once my boyfriend had no question, I had a question as I fell for a scam years ago and WSECU placed restrictions on my account and I was told that I just had to make sure I had no issues on my account for some time. I decided to ask if I was okay to have those restrictions lifted off as I haven't any issues with my accounts. Connor immediately started a phone call and was kind with the employee on the phone who lifted off the restrictions. I'm so glad to have WSECU as my main bank and my boyfriend seems content with banking them so far as well.

Second part is the people behind this credit union. I used to think the days of local business reaching out into the community was a thing of the past and long gone. Richard though proved that so wrong. He heard our local 11s volleyball club PSVBA, were looking for some support in getting our kiddos to Nationals (which is another story all together, first year these girls have all played together. Such an accomplishment already) anyway... Richard stepped up the branch Manager at this location also stepped up. They not only offered up a great location for a car wash fundraiser, Richard involved other local business like Walmart which donated a ton of supplies. On top of this Richard and some of the branch employees like the branch Manager came out and cleaned cars with us!
