Aisha at the branch is a gem

Insurance paid out quick

I called about a weird $8.50 fee and the rep just reversed it, no fight, no manager escalation nothing.

Worth switching for

Had my identity stolen month-end and the fraud team called me, not the other way around. Dispute on a $120 subscription I never signed up for was resolved in 48 hours, money back. They waived the wire transfer fee because I'm a long-time customer, didn't even have to ask twice.

10/10 would bank again

Got approved for the auto loan in like 12 minutes at the loans desk, the agent was shook. Got pre-approved for the mortgage in a day and the rate lock held even when markets moved.

Keeper.

No minimum balance, no monthly fee, I pay zero to use my own money which is wild. Zelle to my brother in Dallas was instant and free, meanwhile my old bank charged $3 for the privilege. The woman at the counter, I think her name was Lara, stayed past close to help me with a stop payment.

Works but barely

Phone support picked up in 3 minutes which shocked me, then transferred me twice and nobody could actually fix the pending charge. Opened a savings account for the 4.2% APY and they dropped it to 3.1% within two months with a tiny email I almost missed. ATM network is fine in cities, pretty rough in rural areas, had to pay $4.50 three times last trip in Vermont.
