Bank Of America

So the Korean banker just asked all the other Koreans in line if they needed help but for some reason he neglected to ask me. I’m far from a racist nor do I ever play the race card but I swear in this area I’m always treated as though I’m invisible or have the plague. The nicest person in this bank has always been the security guard.
Okay, maybe I’ll exaggerating the teller (Steven) was very polite and friendly.
I only use this bank because it’s blocks from my current work location. I just never feel comfortable when I come in here (but I fee this way about most of the businesses in the neighborhood).
I can’t say that tellers are just down right rude no few of them are friendly and welcoming.
I will give them three stars because the lines usually move pretty quickly and I’m always able to get my banking needs met.
They could work on being a little friendlier and God knows a smile goes a long way.

Subtle racism. Never fails. I have a business account, 3 to be exact. And business account holders are supposed to take precedence in the business account line. Each time I come (I’ve been here many times), they take a regular account holder (or two!) before me and ask me to «wait just one moment». Very friendly, however, if there is a white or Asian business account holder in that line, they service them RIGHT AWAY before regular account holders no matter what. I get tired of the ingrained ideas that I see projected from businesses day on and day out on particular groups of people. It’s exhausting. The last time I checked, my money was green just like everyone else’s, and my time ticks just like the rest of the business account holders.

This branch is the worst!!! There’s a huge line and one teller is busy putting lotions on her hands!!! Instead of trying to open. Had to wait thirty minutes in line because none of their ATMs we’re accepting cash deposit!!! If I could give them zero stars I would. Try another branch if you can because this one has the worst customer service!!!

this BOFA IS SO PACKED ALL THE TIME!
i went on a friday, beginning of the month, before a monday holiday. it was the perfect storm. i used to work at a bank, so i know exactly how it goes. BUT DUDE! there needs to be a full line of tellers. i want to see as many tellers as possible. i think there were like… 7 tellers when there was room for at least 11. the line was literally 30 – 40 customers long. imagine an amusement park-​esque snaking line. seriously. INSANE!
HEY BOFA GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER! DICKS!

I was waiting for 1 hour even I sign up and there was no one called my name. And the people who come later then me they go first. And i checked up
was not there. It is ok. Cus two different people told me to do sign up. I just wait. And, finally I told him to reason come this bank and he said I need my passport copy… when I did the sign up I asked another man he said I don’t need anything just current account and I. D …I lost my 1 hour here… they don’t take care customer.

Review in #Haiku:
Worst B of A here
Inside like homeless shelter
Where are the cops please?

This is one of the few neighborhood banks that aren’t on Wilshire. They have so many ATMs: One inside, Two outside attached to the side of the building and Three drive up ATMs. It’s very accommodating if quick draws and deposits are what you want. Inside the bank and working with the tellers are another thing. They have 15 – 20 teller windows for safe deposit, business and personal. The personal side which has about 10 windows is always understaffed. Be prepared to WAIT. I’m waiting right now and writing a review.

This bank has a line every single time that I walk into this branch! However, after a few visits here I see exactly why people come into this branch; the service levels in here are awesome and they understand the consumer experience, at least the tellers understand, I have not interacted with any one in a management position yet! Overall, this branch has a lot of ATM’s if you just want quick cash, including several drive up tellers.

This Bank of America Merrill Lynch banking center is considered the Koreatown Branch, at the heart of W Olympic Blvd and S Western Ave. On many of my crazy LA adventures, this is where my night starts.
You should always carry some CASH with you in K-​town. As Forrest Gump would proclaim — «You never know what you’re gonna get.» Countless nights I’ve been forced into interesting situations, where money talks and bullshit walks.
This branch does make it easy for most, with 5 ATM’s located at the building. 3 Drive Thru Versatellers and 2 Cash Machines along the side. That’s a lot more than what I can say for the other banks within a 10 mile radius.
As for the ATM itself, I think this financial institution has the best in nation, with seconds being shaved off each request, as they constantly revamp the programming to save you time. Notice now how they actually spit out your Check Card first, prior to completing the transaction? That just saved tons of ATM cards being left at the machine and hundreds of people beating themselves over the head because of a brain fart.
TIPS FOR EFFECTIVE BANKING
Ever heard of Direct Deposits, Mobile Banking, and Online Banking? It’ll change your life — I promise. Also, for those of you who pull out money past 2am, think really really hard about whether you should do that. SMILE.

Look, I know it’s just a bank. Offers all of the usuals. I bank with four different ones these days for work. Most are just fine at holding you cash, allowing you access, etc. What stands out is staff and service. This location has great staff and they all work hard at helping and understanding the value of your time and your business. So, aside from the bank haters and rage, I enjoy coming here, even if it’s daily for deposits.

There’s a drive-​thru atm.
I’m lazy.
Five stars.

HORRIBLE LAYOUT. You can’t even turn in the driveway if you are traveling on western! So rediculous! Need to get ben stuart on their asses and get some reconstructive organizational planning up in that biatch.

This is one of the busiest Bank of America’s I’ve seen. There is a large parking lot to the side of the bank and that’s where the walk-​up ATMs are located. The day I went, there was a huge line inside the bank as well as outside at their «walk-​up» atms.
I have to say the area is a little sketchy, I’m glad I wasn’t alone when I went.
The bank was pretty clean inside and I was assisted within 10 minutes. This bank is located in a very «korean» area, so if you need that service it’s readily available.
All in all A-​OK in my book. Nothing super special and nothing horrible about this bank as well.

Drive-​Thru ATMS.
What else would you need. AND there’s 3 of them.
Never go inside cause it’s always a bumblefuck

There are 3 drive-​thru ATMs and2 walk up ATMs at this location. It’s situated on the corner of a very busy intersection (Olympic & Western).
Parking is decent. There’s the small main lot, then there’s more parking to the right of the drive-​thru ATMs.
It gets busy after 4pm on the weekdays, especially at the drive-​thrus.

Well, so many people here that you feel safe at least. Another upside is, even though there are a super amount of people, the service is somehow really fast though!

This location is probably the only BofA I know of in the Ktown area that has a drive-​thru and plenty of parking. Right on the corner of Olympic and Western it’s hard to miss.
I’ve never actually been inside, but from what I can tell it always looks so busy and crowded. The drive-​thru and ATMs are amazingly not as busy as you would assume from the people entering the branch. It’s quick, easy, and efficient. Just as any ATM should be.
Though during certain times of the day (from 12 – 1 and 4 – 6) the cross street traffic can cause a headache when trying to get to the bank. Let alone find parking or organized drive-​thru ATM lines. As long as you avoid those hours you should be good to go.

This place is way too crowded all the time. The few times I’ve had to go in the branch, the service was top notch. But I hate going inside because of the lines. LOVE the 3 drive thru ATM’s in addition to the 2 ATM’s in the parking lot and another one by the entrance around the corner.
Drive thru ATM’s are so convenient!

I go out of my way for this bank because…
IT HAS A DRIVE-​THRU!
Yes, I’m THAT lazy.
But it’s sooo convenient.

Hate this bank, the bank corporation itself and this branch.
As the building manager where I live, I make (and have been making) the tenants’ rent deposits for the owner into his B of A account three times every month for the past few years.
As I always do at other branches, I came here to make the simple deposit, which they adamantly refused to accept.
–We can’t take this deposit.
–Why not?
–It’s an out-​of-​state LLC.
–Yes, but I’ve been doing the exact same deposit in the exact same manner for years and just did one a week ago without any problem, actually.
–But we still can’t take this…
–Then why have I been able to do it in the past?
–I don’t know, sir… but you also hand-​wrote the name (of the account to be deposited in) on the checks.
–Yes, I specifically did that because the other times the teller herself would have to do it so she asked me to do it beforehand.
–We can only take it if the account name is ‘pre-​printed’ on the check.
–So in the past, when the teller had written it in herself and it got deposited promptly — what’s with that?
–I don’t know… maybe that teller shouldn’t have done that…
Plus, there’s always a long line with not enough tellers and the parking lot cannot be accessed from Western Av.
