Assuming that their ATM machine which invites you to buy stamps does not charge extra for them -- a silly assumption, to be sure, but then when you buy stamps at supermarkets, for example, they do not charge extra -- I decided to buy some stamps after depositing my checks. I then realized -- too late to do anything about it -- that they charge an almost $2 fee for 18 stamps! That is at least 4 more stamps worth! Outraged, I went inside to see if I can return the stamps, get my money and just go across the street to buy them at the post office. $2 is not a lot of money but I really did not want to be an enabler in such a rippoff. But there was no sympathy for me inside the Wedgwood Branch, even though we have been with the bank for many, many years and have been outstanding customers. I was told they were not responsible for their ATMs, that the ATM did post the price (true, but at the very end of the process while there is no warning on the initial screen that there is such a high mark-up), and that I could basically fly a kite. The manager was defensive and even rude. I am seriously considering taking my business elsewhere

It is my understanding that this Branch used to be a Wachovia bank. It takes time to make a transition, and I see a different group of people here now than was there a rew months ago. I'm glad this branch is there and I believe they have done a wonderful job in transition.

My parents use this bank (they're new to it) because they're in assisted living next door. That's the ONLY reason. This "banking" facility is run by children and they're ridiculously unorganized and stupid. If they open a drawer looking for a form, that drawer is crammed with various papers. Shame on Wells Fargo for keeping this branch open. I'm trying to get my parents to move to a real bank.

We have been with this bank for 20 years and we have never been treated so poorly as we were at the Oak Mountain Branch in Birmingham. If it were not for the Riverchase branch we would have quickly changed banks. We had several questions about our account and the customer service rep actually started agruing with us and hung up in our face. WOW... wrong career for this individual!!

I'm all for good customer service, but the Wells Fargo branch in Eden Prairie, MN is driving me crazy. I dread going in the bank itself because I know I'm going to have 3 people say "welcome to Wells Fargo," and "how are you?" before I even get to my place in line.  The attempt at idol chit-chat is as transparent as the day is long.  If you want to impress me, get me in and out of there and don't waste my time.  Having 3 people ask me how I am before I get in line is not good customer service; it's annoying.

I first moved here from LA and had a wonderful experience with them.  The top manager was super friendly, exchanged lots of laughs, I felt at home.

However, I am trying to cash a $100 check with my nickname on it in place of my first name.  Unfortunately, to cash any check, you would need those exact names on the account.  I have other forms of I.D. such as social security card and naturalization forms, and the lady that picked up the phone when I called to ask about it was such a b****!  She couldn't even let me slide with a ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR CHECK, even with good standing history, etc. etc.  And I used to work for that damn institute.  

I am so furious as I am HUNGRY and need my damn money.  But of course, they are only looking out for themselves.  I would not recommend anyone to go to this branch.  Whoever that lady is that picked up the phone was straight RUDE.  So rude, I actually had to write a review about it.

I've been a longtime Wellsfargo client, both business and personal.  Since this branch has moved to Keller Pkwy from Price, the service as deteriorated significantly.  It doesn't appear that the focus is on the customer.  Although they loudly say 'Courtesy' is there focus.  I would recommend the management take a closer look at how they treat customers as they enter into the bank.  What appears to be an attitude that 'it isn't my job' to greet customers is apparent.

I use 4 banks in the town. This is the worst bank. The staff is pathetic. It takes forever to even deposit money. One time waited for 20 min. I would not do business with this bank and specially with this branch. There is fee for everything. Do not breath, yawn or sneeze you might get charged.I made my feelings known to the manager Preston.

I had been banking with wells fargo since i was 16 and my mom and i opened my first bank account. while i lived in Texas, and had little to no money, wells fargo was great. when i graduated and went to college in SD things rapidly went downhill.  First of all, when i deposited some savings bonds that my parents bought for me when i very young, the tellers looked up the bonds and gave me the exact rate that they found for those exact bonds. 3 months later they decided that they felt they had given me too much for those bonds and pulled out over $300 w/out giving me any notice what so everof that happening just before 4th of july weekend. so everytime i used my debit card that weekend, they gave me a $34 over draft fee (12 times) i went through hell getting them to admit their mistake but they still would not credit me back all of my o/d fees. i was furious! so i paid off all of my fees zeroed out my balance and closed the account and went to pioneer bank and trust (also here in Spearfish. and they have been excellent by the way). about 6 months later i got a call from an outside collections agency saying that after i had zeroed out and closed the account, wellsfargo had put another overdraft fee on the already closed account, and that the account had charged off and been sent to an outside collections agency.... AGAIN I RECEIVED NO NOTICE THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING TO ME AND IT DESTROYED MY GOOD CREDIT! when i found out what happened to my credt, i called and spoke to a representative who notified me that she could find absolutely no reason that another o/d fee was assessed to my account and that she would have the branch manager call me back to get it resolved... NO CALL BACK!  I waited a week and called again. this time the representative reviewed the last call and informed me that he also saw no reason why this shouldve been done and that he would also have the bank manager return my call... AGAIN NO CALL BACK! So today i called and told them that i would hold until the manager could take my call.  When he finally answered my call, he claimed that there were no notes as to what had happened to my account or that i had called and requested to speak to him previously.  He also told me that it was my responsibility to bring the account current regardless of the legitimacy of the fees and that they had tried to send me notice in the mail but that it had been returned to them as a wrong address and then he read to me MY EXACT ADDRESS! He then started back peddling and making ridiculous claims to the extent that they do not make errors!!! finally he agreed that he would look more fully into my account and call me back later today... and i still have not heard back from him.  WELLS FARGO SPEARFISH BRANCH IS COMPOSED OF UNETHICAL, IMMORAL, THEIVES.  I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT ANYONE WITH ANYTHING AT ALL TO LOSE STEER CLEAR OF THEM!

The tellers are golden. Stay clear of the bankers! They are constantly trying to push new services on me. The latest is a special account they said I really needed to shop online from. Everything they said about the account, I didn't like, so they kept changing their story. They were wrong about so many things. Their error cost me $100 out of my savings until I called the 1-800 # and was told all the facts. I was shocked at how much the Ankeny branch banker left out. I was able to close the account and get my money back, but they'll no doubt get pushy again.

Have been with World Savings as long as I remember. Then was change to Wachovia, then Wells Fargo. Change is always hard that is for sure and I know new rules have come into banking, however I find that the staff is nice but the new rules are hard to accept when I was used to the old way of doing things. I do miss my World savings and the home town feel I had towards it. Now it is just another  bank.

My family has banked at Norwest and then Wells Fargo for years.  As homesteaders in NE, we have been pretty loyal to our banks throughout the generations.  Recently, at my mother's death, we counted on our "local" Wells Fargo bank to handle issues compassionately, professionally and, of course, accurately.  Not only did we receive rude and impersonal service from the branch manager, we have not to this date received POD funds even after presenting COD.  No calls were returned and no resolution to date.  Speaking of the phone line  - with the call-tree -- if you try to get a "live" local person -- it most often routes to national number.  Even my WF branch's officer in another state could not get through the line.  After attempting to leave messages through a "back line" from out-of-state, we reached an ag manager who initially stated that the branch manager, Troy, would return calls.  The branch manager, Troy, never returned our calls and continued to horribly botch our service.  My family and I will not stop until everyone we can possibly reach out to -- reads how horrible this branch is.  My hope is that someone in Wells Fargo will understand that it is a true black mark on the good name and strong brand to have such incompetent and incredibly inept leader(s) in this bank!

I went in to have a signature on some treasury documents witnessed, for the purpose of redeeming bonds from my mother's estate.  After a ten minute+ wait, the guy takes me into his office, doesn't have a clue.  He's never seen these treasury forms, used to redeem bonds that are inherited and over $1000 in value.  He calls someone that deals with the stamp that he's supposed to apply to my papers, they tell him to call "legal".  He calls, gets a wait recording, puts it on speakerphone, we proceed to wait for almost a half hour, during which I fell asleep in his office.  It was almost to the point of comical.  I told him to copy some of the documentation and get back to me.  I had brought the forms, the bonds, death certificates for both of my parents, a notarized document naming my sister executor, a notarized document, signed by my sister, giving me permission to deal with the bonds.  I go home, he calls 45 minutes later, says they can't do it.  Why?  The letter from my sister references my mother's estate, not my father's, whose name is on the bonds.  I explained that my father had passed 10 years ago, making the bonds part of my mother's estate (she passed in June).  Nope, can't do it, I'll need another letter from my sister, who just doesn't have the time to deal with this.  Meantime I'm trying to beat a year end tax deadline and get the bonds sent to the Fed. Reserve for redemption.  I asked to speak to the branch manager, he says "that's me".  Unbelievable.  I hung up.  I went to the branch at 58th ave and 11 st in Greeley, 10 minutes later I had my forms signed and stamped.

I was swished over to this bank when Wachovia closed out. They have a terrible online banking system that doesn't give you the current infomation they are approximately 4-5 days behind, and if you call the 800 # they see the same thing. I had an overdraft, off only by a few $'s that turned into a serious situation for me. When I looked online I could see that a week ago I had a check bounce, but I didn't know who it was written to. As it turned out there was a check for $5.00 for the PTO that bounced 3 x's. And another for $40.00 a fundraiser that bounced 3 x's. I am sure they are happy they got their cash, but as a single parent with no child support and only a few $'s a month extra, this turned into a nightmare for several months. When I took the morning off to go in and talk with them, not realizing that they didn't open until "9"am. I waited for 45 mins in the lobby before I finally asked to speak to someone who said they would get back to me that day with some feedback because by that time I had to get into work. I never heard one word either way.
My plan had been to switch all my money to that account from Regions.. the only thing this bank did for me is help me to appreiciate my Regions account.
