Chase Bank

I’d say I was ignored by all employees when I walked in but I know they were watching me as if there’s anything here I’d even want to take… barring all the money, of course.
I was dressed a little like the ui-​bomber but this is Silicon Valley, man. So is everybody else. Hoodies are practically uniform. I could be a secret eccentric billionaire coming to cash $ 13 worth of personal checks for all they know. Where’s my customer service?
I filled out my deposit slip and stood in line for not very long before I just felt super uncomfortable and anti-​bank and left… and walked directly outside to the right of the front entrance to the tucked in ATM where I could process my measly checks in peace and free from the judgements of a Palo Alto banking staff.

One of the SLOWEST Chase I’ve been to! You all need to have more then one Teller helping out customers. Each person has to wait at least 15mins to be assisted.

This location has awesome customer service. They are always cheerful and welcome you with a smile. They’re able to answer any questions that I asked.
It’s not as crowded so you’re able to avoided the long lines. The financial banker really helped me on guiding my financial needs and ways on saving on retirement.

This branch is great. I visit this location pretty frequently (maybe 1 – 2 times a month), and the staff is always prompt and courteous. Whenever I need to visit my safety deposit box, someone is available to help me get in and out quickly, and financial transactions have always gone smoothly. It’s also nice that they have a dedicated parking lot, though the weird parking attendant guy who sits in a run-​down shack with a typewriter is an odd sight.

Just opened a checking account here. Great service. Loved the people.
The branch also has parking which is great in palo alto because most banks don’t.

Wow, just received some amazing service so I have to write a review. I needed to get a direct deposit slip on a work day because I didn’t have any checks. I gave this branch a call to see if I could set up an appointment to speed things up. Eddy was the person who picked up to help me. He took down my info and told me that he could have the slip ready for me to pick up as soon as I arrived, which was great!
As soon as I arrived, I was greeted immediately and Eddy handed me the deposit slip I needed. Even better, he gave me three free print out checks to use just in case. I was in and out within 5 minutes! Definitely hands down the best banking experience that I have ever had so far.

It may sound silly, but I love coming to this bank out of all the Chase locations I have been to in the bay area. There is one lady that usually helps my husband and I (I’ll have to catch her name next time) that always seems genuinely happy to see us. I like her. I kind of want to give her a hug. She looks like she would enjoy a hug.
Also, Chase’s fraud protection is great. While on a trip to Missouri someone had jacked our card number (we think at a seedy Hayward gas station before we left) and Chase contacted us before the 2^nd purchase was authorized, refunded us the 1^st almost immediately, and blocked all further purchases. Our account would have been emptied by the end of the day if it weren’t for them. Thanks Chase!

I can’t think of one positive thing to say about their mortgage department. As to their banking fees… outrageous fees, but typical of the big banks. The reason for the one star: can’t get customer solution assistance. Whenever I have a problem with my mortgage and I have exhausted my cell minutes talking to their mortgage department, I go to the bank to get customer assistance. The bank mortgage representative are worse than the call center in mortgage knowledge and can only offer profuse apologies for their inadequacies. Over a decade of mortgage ownership with Chase and Wellsfargo simultaneously, I have sworn over my dead body would I never get a loan with Chase, even if they had the most competitive lower rate. (Typing that statement nearly killed me because it is so against my deal seeking core values –lol).The frustration I have experienced trying to resolve insurance payment, getting escrow differences recalculation, approval of insurances, etc. has left a bitter taste in my mouth. The difference between Chase and Wellsfargo mortgage service is night and day. When I have lapse in insurance coverage with Chase, I have to make multiple calls, rehashing yesterday’s discussion, same ones the past six months before my mortgage statement is corrected. This problem took over six months of haggling to get it corrected because they do weird impounding and adjusting of existing principal payments to pay for Chase imposed insurance. Wellsfargo, same problem, resolved in two phone calls. Wellsfargo“s mortgage statement is cleaner and simpler when they ask for mortgage imposed insurance. Chase financial structure is so segregated, their employees usually sound clueless and lack real ability to help correct problems. As a result of their business segregation, the customer service have a tendency to transfer me back and forth between their departments. When I do get answers, it is bits and pieces and if I persist calling several different times, I eventually get the complete picture of what it is I need to do or get my request fulfilled.
Chase Mortgage acts like it is completely different company from Chase bank. The time which I have asked Chase bank customer service to call the mortgage company, after dialing the number, Chase bank rep hands me the phone to talk to the Chase mortgage. Do you think I am physically at the bank to use their phone to talk to my mortgage!!! Am I too incapable to doing this at home by myself?! Chase banks need to stop having loan officers sitting inside banks. It is really a false promise of credibility and connection between the two department. Chase bank can not help anyone with their mortgage problems anymore than it can help me with my Wellsfargo bank problems. I am told recently that Chase Mortgage is realizing people expect and want mortgage service at their local bank branches and are taking steps to allow more access by their bank representative. DUH!!!

I came in on a Friday morning at 11:00 am. I was promptly greeted by a lady that was in the lobby and was offered coffee, water, and cookies. I politely decline. The employee complimented me on my skirt and shoes, asked what I was doing for the weekend, and seemed super genuine.
Once I was at the counter (I think I waited in line for 3 minutes max) the teller quickly helped me and I was out the door with my cashier’s check in 5 minutes.
Thanks, CHASE!
