Banks in South Lake Tahoe, CA

“Very cool community bank. Kind of old school - especially the decor and the way the counters are set up. No bullet proof, plexiglass here. You actually get to live and breathe the same air as the people who are serving you, with oak counters and a home spun vibe - John Dillinger would have loved it. But seriously - the ladies (and they are all ladies working here - strangely no fellas - which is probably a good thing) - are really nice. They look at you, say hi when you walk in. I almost feel like they are going to bust out the cornbread upon entering. And the manager - Sherry - she's salt of the earth. Just a good person. So I'll put up with the 56k modem style website which actually has a 1998-era internet charm to it. I'll be banking with the lovely smiley chatty ladies at El Dorado Savings Bank at the Y.”

“Most people focus on the banking aspects of Wells Fargo which can range from good to bad but there are other services offered which can make the difference. Not from the area but we needed notary services to sign critical documents. We had contacted this location prior to make sure that documents could be signed as it involved 5 separate parties. Throughout this process the banker was able to help us make sure that the signing went through without a hitch. This included a delay in us arriving 30 minutes late at the end of the day. Despite this the bankers involved were able to help us get the documents completed. Even with the covid restrictions in place we were able to get all the difficulties resolved an our documents notarized. It's not something you think of when banking but it's nice that it's a service offered to customers and something that they do not have an issue completing. Definitely a thumbs up to the staff at this location!”

“The staff at the BMO are excellent! The banker Ketsia is great. She helped me open some new accounts, and was able to get me $400 dollars as a bonus for my first time at the BMO.”

“They are always helpful and friendly and I always get my needs met. I needed a credit card I could use internationally and i was approved and it was rushed in minutes. Love this bank.”

“No idea why the rating for this bank is so low. I would give them 5 stars all day long and no matter who attends me. I must say Jessica stands out as very down to earth, friendly, professional and willing to help with anything. They have help me get a loan, open credit and all the forms needed with the success in opening my small business. Thank you US Bank”

“I've been banking with El Dorado Savings Bank in South Lake Tahoe since the mid-1970s. They have always been exceptional. They have even called me when they suspected something might not be right on my accounts. Highly recommend.”

“Probably one of the best staffs, over all, I've had the pleasure of doing business with. Just like "Cheers" they know your name and greet you personally when you walk through the door. Sierra Central Credit Union is extremely lucky to have people like this representing their company”

“Amazing experience opening my account at this Wells Fargo! The branch manager Carlos was very professional, knowledgeable, and made the whole process easy. The staff were welcoming and friendly, and my wife and I left extremely satisfied. Best banking experience we’ve ever had highly recommend this location!”

“Pretty lengthy review if you just want to cut to the chase pun intended great experience with this branch on my last visit. Here is the review Long hand.

Saw all these bad reviews on this particular Chase branch. First time I've ever put a review on Google mostly just Amazon but had to tell my experience which was nothing but positive from my drop-in visit and Danielle saw me right away to the teller who after an initial hiccup made everything perfect on my account. Then a follow-up call from the branch manager to make sure everything was perfect with my account which it was. I am not discounting the bad reviews for I feel people normally will put what their personal experience was, but my experience was excellent for the 20 minutes I was in this particular branch. This has not been my experience with a lot of the Chase branches where I felt I was just the small fish that didn't need catering to while their big whales get all the concierge perks and value. I was actually transferred to chase with my account years ago when Washington Mutual had their huge Fallout back in the Auts. Washington Mutual always treated me as a valued customer even with the small amount in my checking and savings didn't matter if I was in Washington Oregon or California every Branch treated me excellent. Just like this Chase branch did this week. So hopefully this will balance the scales a little bit with all the bad reviews that was not my personal experience on this particular visit.”

“Thank you so much, Karyn, for all your help. We’ve come back several times, and you’ve always greeted us with a big smile, been super friendly, and truly committed to solving our problem. We love coming here and receiving your attention. You do an excellent job, and we really appreciate it!”
