I've banked with WF since the late 90s in college so I was thrilled when this location changed from…read morethe Bank of Petaluma to Wells. The manager Jeff is wonderful, goes the extra mile especially for us locals. Justin, a teller I believe, is super friendly and chatty and a lovely addition to our little touristy town. Also Gabriel is great and was very helpful and a perfect source of information when we went in to open my teenager's first account. I'm always grateful to go in and see familiar faces. There's rarely a line and as they're not open on weekends, there's usually easy parking either in their lot or on Hwy 1 which runs right past.

Under regular circumstances, I probably would've stopped at the Petaluma one instead of going all the way out to the tourist trap that is Pt. Reyes Station in the vacation season.

Today I'm not sure why she made me feel very uncomfortable as if I'm bringing a check that has never been cleared from my work I've cashed my checks here for a year now and this is the first time I get a negative feedback/response from this lady. When I asked her if the change of policy was recent she said no so I was confused why for an entire year she cashed my checks with no hesitation then why would she mention it was a recent change and then take her words back and say it's been a policy they had this entire time ?? and on top of that today she was acting very strange I even saw her dismiss the other teller so she would not help me and addressed me by my first name thing she never did before in the times I've came here. Honestly I've never felt so uncomfortable in my life like I did today. I think I might have to switch banks since this is becoming and issue I'd say be very mindful in opening an account there these ladies will be nice one minute and the next act like you are committing a crime with your own money which is not ok!!

I had 10 times the thousands of dollars from the amount the check was in my account to back up the check if it got returned. I ended up closing my account right then and there. They would charge me a monthly $13 fee when I had no direct deposit but I had a 10k CD. Total trash of a bank. Gina DeFack'o ("the manager" who doesn't deserve that position) was so rude, so unprofessional asking me personal questions to why I wanted the funds available. It's MY money, they should honor the customer especially if I've never overdrawn, & I've never misused my account. I have family members who also bank with them and they will be closing their checking/savings accounts and CDs too!
