How does one review a good local branch of a terrible national company?…read more Last time I refinanced my home mortgage, the original lender sold the loan -- to Wells Fargo. (No, we didn't choose them.) It was fine for quite a few years, but with the latest escrow adjustment my automatic payment didn't get adjusted correctly, and my payment went short by the difference between the old payment and the new. What did the national company do? Call with a courtesy reminder? No -- I got a call from collections threatening foreclosure! Wife and I rushed to this branch to straighten things out. The teller called over a manager (I think) to work with us. The national didn't provide any mechanism for branches to help; the branch banker had to phone the national through same phone tree customers are stuck with, and was stuck on hold just like a customer. Eventually the national answered and gave the branch person numbers to fix the account for the back balance and the new monthly payment. All good. For one month. National changed the escrow again, and we got another pay-or-else call. Back to the branch, and the same person helped again, waiting on hold again, and getting numbers. We deposited the shortfall and paid the next month. Then another escrow letter! This time we had overpaid. A check was attached. Last week, another pay-or-else call from national. No panic this time. We're used to it. Today I cashed the check at this branch, phoned national myself, and deposited the difference. Employees were helpful. So, a three-star "A-OK" for the branch. They're good, but I like my regular bank better. National Wells Fargo? My experience is a two-star "not so good" -- but at least they haven't scammed me like the big scandal that was in the news. I think I'll refinance again, just to get away from Wells Fargo national.

CHASE BANK @ KIRKLAND…read more Opened a new credit card account today and this bank was extremely helpful and welcoming. I'd recommend booking an appointment in person or through the phone so that you can get 1 to 1 service in an office. My dad and I had an appointment at 4:30pm and came about 10 minutes early, and the person helping us allowed us into his office. Shoutout to Joe, he was extremely helpful, gave great advice to build credit score, and walked me through each of the steps! He can definitely do so much work within a short amount of time - really great efforts. Overall, this bank and the staff are helpful. There is parking available right out front. This bank is also easily located in the corner of a plaza, so afterwards you can walk around to the shops!

What a great experience I had today at WaFd Bank. (Yes a little confusing still because I think…read morethey are in the middle of a name change. The original company name was Washington Federal.) I went into the branch today to open a new checking account. Their checking account has some really cool features I haven't seen at other banks. With their Green checking account you get discount movie tickets, coupons for travel, a credit check service and best of all mobile phone insurance. I used to have AT&T mobile phone insurance that costs $15 a month. With WaFd Bank's green checking account I can get that for $7 a month plus all this other stuff. I had no idea, definitely a well kept secret. Anytime we can help local companies vs the large conglomerate like AT&T, sign me up. Keep up the great work WaFd Bank!

I rented a safe deposit box at the Washington Federal branch in Redmond and when I moved to Seattle I closed it two years ago by going into the branch to return my keys and sign the cancelation form. For the past two years I have received multiple bills for the safe deposit box.The first year I called the branch, which confirmed the account was closed, and they said I wouldn't receive another bill. A few weeks later, I received a late noticel. Since then I've repeatedly called the Customer Care Center and am told the account is open. When I explain the account is closed and that I need the billing situation resolved, they say that they will email the branch and follow up with me. No one has ever followed up. My last conversation with Customer Care was about a month ago and I received another bill today. If Washington Federal can't figure out how to close a simple safe deposit box, I wonder how they can be trusted with more complex financial issues? It's not a risk I'm willing to take.
