Bank of America dies open and close branches like any business if the area doesn't support the business. They do offer several advantages over a local credit union. They aren't perfect, but they certainly "seem" to try.

I opened an account with a well-regarded local bank in wanting to support smaller institutions -…read morethe fact that it had a solid 5% credit card may have been a factor as well. Found out weeks later that they offered notary services, so I dropped by - and sat through over an hour and a half with the lovely representative who'd opened my banking account with them. As a smaller banking institution, they have less financial insurance backing on anything they guarantee. Notarization is the act of a bank serving as a guarantor, and given that I needed notarization on documents concerning several investment and retirement accounts, I could understand that they needed to cross t's and dot i's to the fullest extent. Unfortunately, what they needed, I couldn't get from my Fidelity app. After an hour and a half of trying to obtain what they requested through various means, we called quits. Recalling my ancient Bank of America credit card that qualified me as a Bank of America customer, I called the Bank of America Financial Center on my way out to the car. They had several notaries on staff, and getting me scheduled for a quick visit on last-minute notice took all of two minutes on the phone. Kudos to the representative who also took the initiative to ask if I needed witnesses provided by the bank to plan ahead for my arrival; I did. Upon entering the banking center, I was guided to an office at the end of the space and immediately noticed a few unique traits about the notary seated there - his attire was on the flashier side of conservative, his gesturing and signature were equally grand, and his overall mannerisms hinted at a person of impatience in general. He wasn't overtly impatient with me. It was more the surprisingly quick glances over my documents, the rushed cadence of his speaking, his obvious impatience with waiting on team members to be witnesses. I get that the end of day was approaching, but his mannerisms seemed more a part of his overall personality to me than time sensitive. I'm amused in writing this line and being reminded that the lovely representative at the aforementioned local bank patiently sat past closing time when she realized I was also interested in opening the 5% credit card after having already opened the bank account for me - I had suggested addressing that matter another day, but I imagine she was happy to secure an additional account at the end of her day. Anyhow, a stark difference in customer service there. I still mentor in interpersonal and business communication, but even guests without communication training would be able to pick up on cues this obvious, even if they may not be able to pinpoint them enough to put what they are witnessing into words directly. A person trained in communication studies may observe these traits without being personally affected, but normal guests are more inclined to feel discomfort due to the sense of impatience that permeates his interactions. Not a good look for a bank that is a national household name. Unfortunately, the notary did only glance over the documents, so he didn't catch a document that needed his notarization. I thought that it was California-specific; it wasn't - but I wasn't the notary, and I was sitting with one. It is a notary's responsibility to their employer to check each and every document presented in any notarization request, especially in considering the weight of responsibility that a notary stamp and signature represents, so I'd have an issue with this oversight whether as a customer or if I was Bank of America management. Thankfully, Fidelity was a mere five minutes away, so I was able to run back to Bank of America to get that corrected and return the documents to Fidelity without losing much more time. Despite this mishap rooted in one team member's impatience, I will always recommend keeping one banking or credit card account open with a big bank. The far larger financial insurance policy means a more convenience experience overall, such as (normally) painless notary services and far less likelihood of hiccups in everyday spending (I've had two minor hiccups with my 5% local bank card already due to frequent traveling patterns they're not used to seeing). It's why I still keep my first credit card minimally active, even if the card incentives are no longer competitive given the rest of my little curated rotation.

For anyone who is looking to open a small business account with this bank I would encourage you not…read moreto do so. Especially not with Casey Olsen. She literally wasted my entire time just to tell me she couldn't deposit a check made out to my business because LLC was typed on my check instead of "limited liability company" (which one didn't make any sense & two I could've been told that much earlier). The whole purpose for going in was to reopen a closed business account & she made it extremely difficult. luckily I was able to go to another bank & open up a business account & deposit my check with no problem. Which leads me to wonder why it was such a hassle for me to do so at wells fargo, considering the fact that my business banked with them since 2020. My experience was awful and it took up my entire morning. Maybe it's just this location & the person I dealt with, but from my experience I would urge small business owners not to open an account there.

Wings in Edina is a good place to do your banking (it used to be great)…read more... If you're tired of big banks, Wings Credit Union is a nice option to consider. You can do in person banking and have checking/savings accounts with no monthly fees. Their staff is polite and their employees all seem pleasant and generally competent (except their lending division). Their lending division is a joke. Sure they have good advertised rates for mortgage, HELOC, auto lending, etc but I've tried giving them four or five deals and they screwed up every one of them. These were pretty simple lending deals and they kept dropping the ball. I just gave up and took the deals to another lender who did them without any issue. Besides their lending department issues, Wings corporate leadership puts a ton of energy into growing and trying to be the biggest possible credit union. This means things that used to be complementary (initial packet of checks, money orders, etc) now have some type of $3 or $5 fee attached. So is Wings better than a big bank...YES....is Wings the wonderful banking experience it was ten years ago...NO. Is Wings moving in the right direction....that remains to be seen.

I was a former member decades ago. I tried to rejoin yesterday but the management denied me to…read morerejoin. I had a bankruptcy 20+ years ago (100% payback) and had a loan with them at the time. When I filed I did so at 100% payback so they did receive all of their money. Now I have super high credit score and have had zero issues financially in over 2 decades. They didn't really explain why the management declined my application and the agent I was working with was very surprised that they didn't decline me. Perhaps it could be the bankruptcy but it's my understanding that a bankruptcy being held against you from over 2 decades ago isn't legal, so there's that. Also, I was actually attempting to open two accounts with one of them being my 6 year old daughter's first account which would have had a very high initial deposit plus a confirmed direct deposit well above the minimum which wings requires. This in addition to having a young child start her banking at that age can create a wonderful banking relationship throughout the future generations of that family; obviously that does NOT matter to this management or corporation. Based on the other reviews I am seeing it seems that I dodged a bullet. I do think it's a shame that they are illegally holding something against someone for something which occurred over 20 years ago, but it seems that this credit union no longer actually cares about its customers anyways.
