Then they said I would have access online which I didn't. When I called the blank by phone, they wouldn't even give me my new account numbers. they asked me to go back to the bank and fill out more papers. I already was there an hour and a half to make account changes. Now they want me to return for more paperwork. This bank is totally out of control.

Since there were no greeters or associates available, I did this. After waiting for 30 minutes, I'm approached by a greeter and told no bankers are available today. It's like - why aggressively encourage customers to use their virtual waiting room system if the bankers can't update their live availability? Guess that's a preview of what it's like to be a Wells Fargo customer. The friend that gave me a referral coupon mentioned WF might be sliding back into their old shady business practices - they'd gone to this branch to prevent a CD from renewing, then magically Wells Fargo renewed it anyway.

Boy have I been loyal to BofA and I still will be, but sometimes it's the simplest of things that…read morecan drive you absolutely nuts with places, ya know what I mean? So what is it in this case? Good question. I was working with a friend on a real estate transaction and I simply needed a copy of a check with my name and address on it. Easy enough, except I was away from home and away from my check books that have been collecting dust for ages. Who uses checks anymore?! Mute point, I still needed to provide what was needed. The solution was to go into a branch and grab a counter check. I think you know where this is going by now, right? Welp, asking for a counter check was a request that had me questioning if I had three heads by the way the teller looked at me. After consulting someone else it was determined that either they didn't have the ability to provide me one or didn't want to. I'm sure it was the first of the two. So what do you do in a situation like this? You go next door to Chase where you have additional accounts and they provide them in 5 min or less. Thanks Chase!

Obviously most have a terrible experience here, but for me it's really been okay to be honest…read more The tellers range from wonderful to downright terrible, so it's really a luck of the draw. Not to say their attitude was bad, just really did not care about their job and makes the interaction awkward. Their relations department is wonderful to work with though, many follow ups after several visits to make sure everything was adequate. Lines during peak hours can be horrendous, so I'd suggest making sure you visit during off hours as this is the only BOFA location in Sonoma and nearby. Outside of that, it's a regular BOFA bank, so nothing too special. To be fair, hard to really put anything on the level of many non large conglomerate banks.

After suffering a stroke i have asked that they waive the fee as she was a victim of elder abuse. They have refused. Nobody over the age of 65 should ever be told to place the majority of their net worth in an account that they cannot access if needed. Shame on you Chetan! You and your bank knew better. I hope you sleep at night

Looking at the older reviews surprised me- the reviewers definitely had a different experience at…read morethis branch than I have over the last eight months. Then I noticed the reviews are two to nine years old. The customer experience has definitely changed at the Sonoma Chase branch. The lack of attention to customer service gives a Too Big To Fail impression most times that I visit this branch. I would think a company this old would have figured out how to take care of their customers in a timely fashion. Two out of every three visits I make to this branch are disappointing. If you are looking for a bank in Sonoma, I am confident you will have a better experience at any other bank in town.

After looking for15 minutes she said well you will have 10 days to move the money or it will automatically roll over. I replied, well you are closed on Saturday and Sunday so I can only take action on the days the bank is open so that would be 6 to 8 days depending on what day of the week I was notified. She kept repeating no you have 10 days. This went back and forth until I said you're counting Saturday and Sunday when the bank is closed. Three weeks ago I requested checks for our trust account and I was sent checks in my name. My husband's name was not on the checks and the trust name was not on the check. I had to cancel the order and will have to wait 3 more weeks for new checks. When I called the bank to make the correction the person wanted to know the name of the person who took my order. She said she didn't know who took my order because she did not recognize the initials on their computer. I found this concerning because they have no idea who took my order and decided to issue the checks in an incomplete form.

I have a business account that has consistently maintained a five to 6 figure balance but when I attempted to secure financing I couldn't attract anyone's attention, the bank just didn't want to lend me money. My history with them, my pristine credit, my business plan, nothing could elicit any interest. Now I'm not in the banking business so perhaps the Bank of the West has some other source to make a profit, or maybe their stockholder's aren't interested in a profit; I can't imagine but after 10 years they have finally lost this customer and all the customers that I used to steer their way.
