1 /5 Kelsey Moore: Until today, I had a bank account with US Bank for about a decade. Previously, I hadnt had much issue with them aside from their predatory overdraft fees, which I was willing to overlook because of the awesome service the tellers provided. More recently, the bank hours have changed. You can no longer enter the lobby without an appointment (which, I understand with Covid, but I was told that it was a permanent change) and their drive-thru hours are spotty, at best.
With the ease of access of online banks such as Chime and many others, the fact that US Bank continues to charge "maintenance" fees (maintenance for what, exactly?) and $36 overdraft fees on items that barely put you in the negative, is deplorable and predatory. Many other banks, online or in-building, no longer charge any fees whatsoever and also dont "hold" your funds sent by direct deposit or check.
US Bank really needs to change the way they operate if they plan on staying in business in Taylorville. I know of several people who have had worse instances with them than I have, and have subsequently closed their accounts. Again, the tellers are great, I cant speak much for the bankers themselves as I dont know them, but a smile and positive attitude can only get a business so far when they are implementing such bad-for-business policies, fees, and hours changes.
