When I had to drag my two children out of the car and inquired last time by myself with my two and 3 year old in both arms as to if the drive up is closed they said oh sorry I forgot to open it up. I bank with Chase because it's convenient and this location is far from it at this point. When I was assured that there's no issues with the drive up and that it opens at regular banking hours and it's never open that's an issue. I'm ready to close my accounts with Chase and go somewhere where I can go through a drive up and have no issues or increase the ATM limit and I won't have a problem.

What a terrible experience I had today( Sat Aug 16th) at you Chase bank on 3638 Bee Ridge Rd in…read moreSarasota, FL. The teller (who does not wear a name tag), but she was young with shoulder blond/brown hair. Was not helpful at all, state no appointments, as I have a secure checking accound and cannot write check, however was sent checks to me in the mail. Said without an appointment would have to make one or come back at another time. Before this a Bank Manager must of told her not to give him an appointment today. I told I have already written two checks and they will bounce. She said on a secure checkiing account there was no ablity to write a check but I had 250 checks I paid $30. I was mostly concern what was going to happen to the two people I wrote checks to. No answer. I said I really need to speak to someone, she tossed back my ID and checkbook and said she could and would not be able to do anything in a rude voice. This was a Chase problem not a customer problem. She said again in a rude voice try the bank on Clark, but I doubt they will be able to help you. I left and said I will use another bank in the future. Went to Chase Bank on Clark, teller (again no name tag) dark short hair. She could not of been my pleasant, she tried to change my checking account over to a Total checking account but was unable to do so. She could not understand why they would even issue checks (open the account at 8300 Bee Ridge Rd with a Chris and Sean) She had only one savings counselor and said she would be tied up until we close which was at 2pm. She said I know you are going to have to set up a new checking account and should be how to make an appointment on my app. She also said how truly sorry she was for this error and any extra fees for a returned check would be waived. Someone need to tell the Chase teller on 3638 Bee Ridge Rd, what customer service is. There is alot of banks in Sarasota. I had to go to alot of trouble to switch all my automatic payments over to this new checking account and also had to change direct deposit with Social Security and Sarasota School Board (which I had to go to the School Board office and give them a voided check and sign) This is just very poor service and to be treated like that from a teller at 3538 Bee Ridge Rd is unacceptable. If I have to go to all this trouble to open all new accounts for my trust, I might as well take my 10k out of your bank and use another. Not a happy camper, a very frustrating day by one teller. Shame on her and her manager.

Bank of America is a shameful enterprise. While residents…read moreof Sarasota were trying to survive 3 consecutively occurred hurricanes, last being Milton on Oct.9, 2024, one of the largest Banks in America --Bank of America -- was quietly charging late fees each month... over $45.31 each on my account. When I've contacted this bank asking to remove those charges totaling over $170.00 within a two-month period -- the bank refused to do it, telling me that they have no authority to remove any interest charges posted during and after the hurricane Milton!!!! That window was closed! In the meantime, the Bank of America Branches were closed for days everywhere in Sarasota after the disaster!!!! As a matter of fact, Bank of America was not even "aware" that Sarasota was the epicenter of Milton. Really? You must be kidding me, Bank of America! All their branches in the epicenter and around were closed for days and days after the hurricane, their cash machines were emptied out by devastated residents.... Yet, no service, closed doors during that time. While people are in shelters, hospitals, or in a different state-- Bank of America is happy to do their ill-deeds! When I called the 800-service line at my earliest opportunity, I was advised that all fees that were charged, whether accurate or not, will not be removed because the "deadline had passed!" That is "our policy." I asked to be connected to the Escalation team, or supervisors or Corporate office --- none were available or ready to assist! Did you know that the Bank of America does not receive any complaints by mail anymore? Did you know that a customer is no longer allowed to file any complaints online via email? Did you know that "assistance period" to resolve any disputes had ended without 30 days after the hurricane???? Did you know that the Bank of America is in business to charge/collect/ and get away with anything they want? You can only file a complaint online via their employee through the phone service. But you are not going to get a copy of that complaint taken over the phone by their employee!!!! That what I was told by the Bank's online Supervisor named Ceasar.... So, they (the Bank of America) is allowed to abuse customers anyway they want ....for as long as they want!!! And it doesn't matter, if you happened to be a senior citizen, veteran, or disabled-- there are no exceptions, whatsoever ! -- I.e. Charge any ridiculous fees during the hurricane/flooding, or post Inaccurate balances to customers accounts, deny any contact with their "hot line" /line of communications with their executive office; deny even the natural Disaster itself (that already happened in your area!), and continue this abusive practice as long as they want....!!!!!!! The Attorney General of the State must investigate this shady bank and their abusive practices. No notifications were sent to customers, nowhere to complaint about their abuse, no legal remedies that victims-customers can use to stop this banking abuse! I have been their customer for over 20+ years, and I have to tolerate their abuse because there is no authority to oversee/regulate/ penalize their actions, or take their license away, or contact their office of decision-makers, who knowingly authorized charging customers' accounts during the devastating hurricane /flooding event! Then, they claimed that the window of "removing those fees" was closed! Yes. As simple as that?!!! Yes, forever! And you cannot dispute any issues anymore! Sorry, pals, you missed the deadline two months after the disastrous event! They claimed they sent you an email... during the hurricane when you had no internet, no electricity, and no help! And your home was damaged -- that is not their problem-- the Bank of America said. This is how they serve their customers! While you, the hurricane survivor, are trying to recover-- the Bank of America hits you with "unremovable fees"! For this and many other similar experiences, as your customer, I chose to go to another bank or financial-services provider, who can and will assist their customers in the meaningful and non-fraudulent way. Shame on the Bank of America!!!!!! Shame on their shady policies and criminal practices that will be dismantled by the Regulators!

Was greeted warmly and she readily complied with my request. Sold, no hassle just friendly customer service. I then asked about opening a checking account. She responded professionally and alerted the appropriate person. The manager greeted me, introduced herself and explained a customer swap due to expertise and then introduced me to the person who would open my account. Again all professional and friendly. BEST PART - Most favorable terms of all the banks I researched in Bradenton. Low amount needed to open and maintain the account. Online statements waives the $2 monthly fee. Plus free use of other ATM's as long as it's part of a network which they clearly explained. Very pleased with my initial experience and don't expect things to change.
