“After reading reviews about this location and the one on Shattuck, I came here to open an account. Glad I did. Their employees are so helpful and nice!!! Particularly Amarita and Jessica. They walked me through the process of opening a business account. Amarita even researched something with me, which proved to be helpful because when I got home I wouldn’t have found the information on the website had I not seen it at her office.Chase is so much better than Bank of America. And apparently are the largest in America so we don’t have to worry about it going under like recent banks around here have.Super happy with my experience and glad I came here (which is further away) to open a new account.”
“I Went to exchange foreign currency here and I was more than pleased with the service. It was the 3rd bank I visited and how they say “Third try's the charm” and it was for me. It was fast and easy.”
“I came into this branch today to deal with some recent fraudulent activities. Tommy was very professional, competent and understanding. He handled all my needs with patience and kindness, and I left feeling satisfied and secure.. Randy is also a pleasure to be assisted by. He is always super pleasant, accommodating and kind hearted.”

“The managers are super helpful and take a genuine interest in providing very personalized service. The experience has been far superior to what I experienced at my previous bank for many years. I am very glad I moved to USB and always get friendly and knowledgeable help whenever needed.”

“My experience with Patelco Credit Union has been great so far. Alex Quebec of the Milpitas branch has been helpful and greets you with a smile with an accommodating and assuring demeanor.”
“I had a great experience getting my loan with Inova, but what made it difficult for me was not being able to set up my account for auto pay. I had contacted Robin who walked me through the whole process. I was very frustrated by the time I called and I appreciate Robin's professionalism and guidance in helping me.”
“5 STARS for Roberto Corona. If you must use this bank, I highly recommend using him. He is kind, responsible, will follow up until the job is done. You just don't see that anymore, so want to give him a shout. Thanks Roberto!”
“Over the past year I have worked with Sunita Joseph and Erik Erikson. Both have been helpful and professional. They have guided me into organizing my finances and making plans for the future of my retirement. I was informed about options but was never pushed in any direction. After working with them I have more peace of mind, knowledge and organization.”
“Great credit union at the heart of downtown Berkeley. Not very busy inside when I went to open an account and join the membership. They have the lowest rates around if you are looking for a loan, and the people are amazingly super friendly.”
“I would like to sincerely thank Andres and Hana for their time and effort in assisting us with creating our joint account and providing detailed information about the Merrill account. The insights they shared were both interesting and highly valuable for our future financial planning.
Although our appointment was scheduled for 10:30 AM, there was a brief delay of about five minutes. However, they more than made up for it by dedicating approximately an hour to assist us, which we truly appreciated. Their exceptional service reaffirmed my decision to choose this location for our banking needs, even though another branch is just a three-minute drive from my residence. Thank you once again for the outstanding support.”
“Very good customer service and really good staff. Problem. Runs out of cash at the ATMs. Happened over the weekend of May 4th. 2025 around noon. That seems to be systemic with Wells Fargo these days.. They used to be 100% reliable. As far as cash at ATMs cuz I would give the past 12 months on 90% reliability. That's really sad for one of the largest banks in the United States”
“THX For Excellent Customer Service EDUARDO who help me with Cashing my payroll check from the San Francisco Gaints Great Service make you feel appreciated Thanks Wells Fargo Bank scale of 1 thru 10 a 10 Thank you”
“While setting up my "Complete" business checking and savings account, as well as business credit and debit cards. I had excellent service, precise, helpful, and efficient from Ms. Minu Shreshtha. I highly recommend her. I also feel safe using the ATM inside and have had nothing but polite, helpful service from everyone else at this bank. After searching around for quite a while for the best bank for a business account and cards, it was refreshing that the biggest bank around is so appropriate. For personal accounts, I'm very satisfied with my local credit union.”
“Adam is a very friendly and competent service manager. Sometimes it seems that they are understaffed but everyone is doing their best.This Wells Fargo branch is still top.”
“A friendly, competent, and customer oriented branch of "Bank of America" - - once you are inside.
The bank-tellers and workers make more than up for the rough and sketchy block they got assigned to by higher-ups and city planning. Helpful, friendly, clean (inside). Outside: Bank customer's personal safety does not seem a priority to Bank of America HQ or Berkeley city planning.
PS.: It feels like an outpost in the Wild West there”
“Jom was incredibly patient and thorough while presiding over a very stressful wiring situation. There was a point where my behavior was on the ruder side, but she continued to provide me with excellent service. She graciously accepted my apology, which was much appreciated.”

“I don’t know why comments are so negative. I opened an account here and it was really efficient, the Manager is really nice. I contacted her a few days later because I needed a document and she sent it to me in the hour. They have very good offers to open an account, especially when you’re paid by UC Berkeley, and even if you’re international. There is also a nice bank app. For now it’s perfect !”
