I was a…read morecustomer with a business previously owned by Willamette Valley Bank and there was an oversight during the sale that would have adversely impacted me. Upon notifying the bank they immediately when into action to rectify the situation and took me for my word. The reality is, I had little recourse and could have easily been burned by them. It was clear from the beginning that WVBK didn't even consider taking this route. I was really impressed with their integrity and customer service, especially that of Eric Gerhart. In today's age of consumer treatment, it was quite refreshing. Highly recommend.

Citizens Bank is by far the superior business bank of Oregon.

They began in 1957 in Corvallis, Oregon and unlike many other banks which began in this fine state, they stuck around and are STILL headquartered here in (Corvallis) Oregon!! What earns this five-star review is their unparalleled level of customer service; never any lines because every employee is always willing to help a customer, always a real person answering the phone when I call, got to know me by name from the day I opened my account, immediately takes care of any issue I have and even checks in with me to see if they can improve their customer service! It's an old-fashioned handshake-kind-of-feel with a modern twist. The Salem branch in particular is a great one because it's of that newer micro-branch kind of design. A small downtown footprint however, big enough to send an employee out to my business whenever I need help with remote deposit capture or the need for a notary when in a pinch. If you're unhappy with your financial institution, give them a call or stop by. You won't regret it, trust me!

I have been a customer of Chase Bank for over 13 years in Salem and have consistently received top notch service - however the outstanding efforts that afternoon by 2 amazing Chase Associates prompted me to write my first review of Chase Bank on Social Media.

Ben Gonzalez - Sr Home Lending Advisor outlined several helpful options regarding my home loan. Susie and Ben are simply amazing. Thank you. FIVE STARS !!!

She really didn't know what to do. I asked her if she could duplicate the same number on the one that I lost and she was bewildered. She made me a card but it had a different number. When I went to use the card to pay for an item, it didn't work because she didn't activate it. I went in again to get another card and the same employee made a new card and activated it but told me that I could not use it for more than 7 days. As a result, I can't use a debit card for a minimum of of a week and possibly 11 days.

I have used many of their services: card, auto loan both new and used, mortgage services. They have always been nice, polite and I was always kept 'in the loop' during processing time. And processing time was always done very timely. Very informative and I feel confident in their service. There have been a couple of posting errors but always remedied immediately when brought forward. Much easier than dealing with the Big Banking method of proving their error to them! I also have an account with one of the Big Ones and also get charged a monthly fee for the 'privilege' of them using my money! Ridiculous! Just thought OCCU needed a shout out as I plan on staying with them.
