“Today, I had the pleasure of having Eric Arias help me at the Ming office. I had concerns about the hold time of a deposit needed for an important transaction. Mr. Arias took the time to review past history and was able to insure that the funds would be available when needed. He was professional, courteous, and beyond helpful.”

“The ATM machine was unresponsive so I had to deposit my check in person. It was a long line of people however, all of the team members were working diligently to aid everyone in their needs. I can’t remember the name of the gentleman that helped me ,I’m sorry, but I do remember that he was very kind and very attentive to my needs. I did tell him that for some reason, the app wasn’t letting me deposit my check online and he seemed very concerned and checked it out for me. Sadly there was no conclusion to that but it’s okay , I didn’t mind going in and depositing my check in person. It was a very nice experience.”

“If you’re looking for a bank that really takes care of businesses, it’s Banc of CA. The entire team there is attentive, professional, and gets things done, especially my go-to banker, Patricia Dorado. Another perk I enjoy is that you can get through to them on the phone without going to a dreaded 800# and call center. 5 Stars!”

“Update: Someone called me back soon after I posted this review. They let me know that I was given incorrect information by the teller and that my name change records are available for employees to see. She was quick to make it right and accept my check as is. I am very happy they got back to me so fast and for making things right.This review is based off of my experience today. I’ve been a member here for almost 40 years. I’ve never had an issue until today. I got married last year and changed my last name. I got that updated at the credit union. Today I walk in with a check that was made out to my maiden name. I was hoping since they have on record my name change, that it wouldn’t be a problem. The lady who helped me told me they don’t have access to those records. She said I would need to bring in my old id with my maiden name or my marriage certificate. I’ve already done this when I changed my name. Why they don’t have access to these items, I have no idea. This is disappointing because I live several hours away and now I have to try and get the check reissued in my married name, which is a hassle because the company from which it came is hard to get ahold of.”

“This bank has a Atm that is under cover, and still available all night and day. In Bakersfield California it is very important to be out of the sun. I am retired and I don't have a car and the other Atms are drive thru or inside a bank with banking hours. Thank you Citi.”

“I’ve opened bank accounts in several countries, but today’s morning experience was by far the best! The bank manager, Laura, went above and beyond with her customer-focused approach. She listened attentively, ensured everything was aligned with my needs, and managed to accelerate the entire process, my account was opened in just under an hour 9:30 - 10:30 AM! The efficiency and professionalism were truly impressive. Highly recommend this branch for a smooth banking experience!”

“I highly recommend Lourdes Mendoza for anyone looking to buy a home. From beginning to end, she provided outstanding service, professionalism, and guidance throughout the entire process. She was always knowledgeable, responsive, and truly cared about making the experience smooth and stress-free.

Her attention to detail, communication, and dedication made a huge difference, and I always felt supported and informed every step of the way. Purchasing a home can be overwhelming, but Lourdes made the process much easier and enjoyable.

If you are looking for someone trustworthy, hardworking, and committed to helping you find the right home, I strongly recommend Lourdes. Thank you again for your excellent service and support!”

“Opened an account here in July of 2021. This is my 2nd bank account the other is with Wells Fargo but definitely I'm treated 10 times better here than at Wells Fargo. Every time I've come in I've never experienced anyone in line as in other banks. I've never asked but several times I've been attended by the branch manager and she's always been fantastic taking me into to her office to attend of my banking needs. They have many branches throughout California which is a great plus 4 me and why I chose them as my 2nd bank”

“I''m 71 and remember, before online services, standing in line and doing the usual thing. Nothing particular good or bad about those experiences stand out. Banks are banks. On December 11, 2023 I was let out of Lerdo jail after getting hauled in for Drunk in Public. Stay with me. I had been taken from my home late the night before in Tehachapi by ambulance on report by my wife I had suffered a head injury in a trip and fall at home. I had been drinking some, celebrating the fourth night of Hannukah. EMTs transported me in sweats and a thin t-shirt. I did not have my wallet or a phone. My wife provided the EMTs with my driver's license and medical insurance information. I had never ridden in the back of an ambulance and I was frightened during the trip and the blow to my head when I got to Emergency. I was goofing with the EMTs while I waited for about an hour to been seen by medical staff. Apparently the staff figured me for just being drunk and forgot about the injury. They later stuck me in a dark emergency room on a table and it became clear they were going to have me sleep off my "drunk". My wife of 52 years requires my care for basic needs. I decided to leave. The staff wouldn't have it; I was their prisoner apparently. An argument ensued and I was then asked to leave which I did. I didn't realize how cold it was that night since I'd been indoors that entire Sunday. There I was trying to make it the mile home in bare feet with no coat. I got a few hundred yards and local police pulled up. Was I glad to see them! I couldn't feel my feet in the near-freezing temperature of midnight. They promptly arrested me for being drunk in public and disorderly conduct at the hospital. The hospital called police on me "for my own good". Yeah, I suppose they would know that putting me out with shoes in that weather wasn't exactly for an old guys with a head injury's good. I spent that night and until midday on the 11th in Lerdo, about fifty miles from home. It was the first time I'd ever been jailed. It was uncomfortable, annoying and I couldn't sleep. It's jail. The jail staff was professional and more or less accommodating. I was provided rubber slippers and I stumbled out to get picked up by some sort of shuttle to deliver me to a regional bus station in downtown Bakersfield. I don't know Bakersfield, and I sure didn't know where Lerdo was from home. I was surprised to learn I had $61 in cash in my sweats when I got processed in at Lerdo. I figured I'd get that back when I got sprung. The kept that cash and gave me a check on discharge. What the heck was I going to do with a check with no ID and no phone to call my wife? I asked about at the bus place and learned there was a Wells Fargo on 22nd Street, which meant nothing to me in directional help but I soon saw the bank sign when I walked the couple of blocks. I'm not a Yelp reviewer. I've posted a couple of times in all these years and usually to say something good. I looked homeless when I got into the bank. A wonderful and kind young lady name Carolina listened to my story when I present my jail check. My wife and I are longtime Wells Fargo customers and at least one account is stuffed with a lot of money. Carolina and another wonderful lady named Jessica worked hard to figure out how to get that jail check cash. I mean, who the heck am I trying to dun someone's account with no ID? I was so embarassed for being a public miscreant, apparently, and I'm still embarassed by it. Jail for goodness sake. What a panic to get home, eat, shower and sleep and be with my wife. (She got a little sleep the night before and in the morning to call the hospital and they told her I wasn't there.) Carolina and Jessica made it happen. They had keen ideas about how to protect a customer's account and help me at the same time. They did it! They helped me phone my wife and she was going to come get me. She hasn't driven in four years but made it down the sketchy highway”
