“Opened an account here in record time so that I could get a cashier's check/money order. Staff was very helpful, location was accessible on a Saturday at 4pm.”
“Love this credit union. Member for 32 years. Smaller CU but they make up lack of size with great service. Man, I get treated like a real person. They have services that meet most of my needs. Rochelle, Anita, and Bob are amazing. I rarely get to their branch but when needed they have been very supportive.”
“Cairen Roche is an exceptional representative of WaFd Bank. She is professional and friendly. Cairen completed our transactions in a timely matter and answered all our question's.”

“Arriving in US can be intimidating, especially when it comes to the banking system, but I was lucky getting support from Amjad to guide and educate me. I recommend!”
“I have always had a pleasant experience with SFCU (Medical Center branch). The staff are very professional and amiable.Shout out to Eric who seemed to be the one who always help me out.”
“Walking into Boston Private is like "coming home"... great service, down to earth staff who are connected to the community and give back to many Non Profits. Highest level of service, team of individuals who care about the clients.”
“I really like this bank, it’s warm and welcoming, with superb customer service. Love the fresh coffee. They also have notary services for members for free. I like to acknowledge Damaris Galindo, the traveling assistant manager there. She is super friendly, fast and knowledgeable. We went to her for notary service related to our home, she welcomed us, went through all the docs, helped us clarify with our lawyer a section that was unclear, and completed everything for us in timely manner. We are so grateful to Damaris and to the bank.???”
“This is a great bank... it's that simple. It's great because the staff truly wants to help their customers. I visited the branch a week ago for the first time to deposit an insurance refund check. The teller, Jennifer Robles, was super friendly and very competent. I reached for my driver's license... oops... I had forgotten to bring my wallet. No problem. Jennifer confirmed my ID through records on file and finished the transaction lickety split.Today, I visited the Redwood City branch, again. As trustee for my mom's estate, I stopped by to close out her account. As luck would have it, Jennifer was my teller, again. This was only the second time I had been inside this branch and she remembered me. There was a glitch with a utility charge on the account, but Jennifer quickly enlisted the help of branch manager, Heherson "John" Balico to solve the problem. He surmised that a utility payment had been charged twice in error and he credited the second charge back to the account. It was such a relief to have a banking professional trying to help me instead of shrugging and saying there was nothing the bank could do. John impressed me as being someone who is genuine and who is committed to doing the best job for each customer he meets.Well, it was time to go back to Jennifer. She prepared a cashier's check to close out my mom's account... no charge. The entire time spent inside the branch was a super positive experience. Banks are largely the same. There's not a whole lot of difference in their services, but what makes a difference is the people working inside the bank. If you live in or near Redwood City, I recommend you take a look at Bank of the West. Jennifer, John and the rest of the staff will treat you right.”
“As a long time member of Stanford Federal CU, I appreciated the customer service I got from Anais S today. She was pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable to my needs and questions. That is becoming more rare these days.I recommend banking at this Credit Union!”

“3 cheers for James Teaney! He was SO patient, kind and helpful as I was trying to assist a family member with their banking needs and my own as well. He helped navigate a complex issue I had been trying to resolve for days. THANK YOU James and Provident!”
“This is by far the best bank I have ever been to. I would not have even known bankers could be this great at service and this friendly. Fatima and Daniel are like old friends and it's so easy and pleasant to get things done.
Seriously, this place is on its own planet in terms of quality. No other bank comes close.”
“Fast, thorough, detail oriented and accurate. My experience with the Stanford Credit Union folks could not have been better.
Last week stopped by their main office at Embarcadero Road in Palo Alto to open an account and apply for vehicle financing. Martha helped us with onboarding. She knows what's needed and got me taken care of quickly. Mo took over the vehicle finance and she did an amazing job as well. Highly recommend Stanford Federal Credit Union for any banking or finance needs.
Thank you SFCU team!!”
“I just had a wonderful experience at the Wells Fargo branch in Midtown. I had a challenging transaction that required a lot of perseverance on the part of both the branch manager and the teller. Both people were very kind, conscientious, and thorough throughout the process, resulting in accomplishing our goal. I wish to thank them for their help and look forward to continuing my use of the Midtown branch.”
“I went inside this branch to make a withdrawal. I was immediately greeted and asked if I needed help. The manager, Marla, was so nice and friendly and knew exactly what I needed. She handled everything perfectly. I was impressed with her professional manner and astuteness. I am glad I bank with an institution that knows how important customer service is.”
“I came to BMO one day to open my first bank account because my family trusts this bank a lot. Katrina helped me set up my checking & savings accounts, and gave me all the resources and instructions I needed. She presented everything in a way that was easy to understand and showed me how to navigate the bank. I was just really surprised by the hospitality of the services here. I even got some free BMO swag when we were done!
They seemed a little short staffed on the day I came, but it wasn't very busy to begin with. I wonder if a lot of these negative reviews I am seeing are from when this bank was still Bank of the West, because I haven't noticed any problems with BMO (yet). Overall, 4/5.”

“I ran into an issue with my new account and called the 800 number, and while they were helpful, I just wanted to talk to someone face-to-face to figure out my options. After I goofed up the online appointment system and showed up on the wrong day, Robert was understanding and helpful. He helped me understand my options and what I should do next. What I most appreciated was that he made recommendations based on what would work best for me, rather than just trying to make a sale.”

“I think I need to mention William regarding his professionalism and great work ethics for customers as a bank employee.
He helped me fix unexpected account suspension issue due to Zelle transactions with Schwab Bank fraud team. It is an undeniably exceptional service to follow and has made a final result in a relatively short period of time!
Thank you William for your kind and nice conversations with me. Your help was excellent.”
“Friendly employees and a nice office.
One thing to improve: add a ticket machine so that you do not need to wait in a line for a teller, so that the teller registers you to be in line, if you need to go to the cubicle to speak with an employee. If you find it confusing, it is.”
“Good afternoon!
I am already a customer of this bank, and I came back to open an account for my new company. Many thanks to Sevda Pernova, she is a true professional! Sevda kindly helped me open the account.
The branch itself looks stunningly beautiful and conveys an atmosphere of history.
All the bank employees are very friendly, and I was very pleased with my visit.
I sincerely recommend this bank.”
“I had a wonderful experience here! The staff, particularly a gentleman who efficiently organized everything, was excellent at communicating the waiting times to each customer. Additionally, there was an elegant lady (bilingual speaker) who provided exceptional and considerate service. She was very patient and thorough in explaining how to open a new bank account.”

“Outstanding branch. I visited 3 times last week to take care of issues with my late mother's estate. Everyone who I worked with (Ain, Leena, Wendy and Zahra) are friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and efficient. Leena, the branch manager, jumped in to help when the issues were a bit complicated. She also personally helped me when Ain was busy with another customer. Based upon the great customer service by the entire staff, this branch is very well managed.
Update (12/8/2024): On Friday, I visited a 4th time to complete the issues with my mother's estate (after back office reviews completed). This time I worked with Wendy and Leena again, but also Diane, the only member of the team I had not worked with. LIke her co-workers, Diane was also very friendly, professional and efficient. I highly recommend this branch.”
“I had the pleasure of working with Jose Vasquez from the Redwood City Branch - he was extremely helpful and provided excellent customer service. I was applying for a new loan, and the process was seamless, literally took less than 30 minutes from start to finish and the funds were already in my account the same day. Highly recommended!”

“Had a great experience being helped by Paola opening up a bank account. I’m not the type to write a review down but she was immensely helpful and understanding of my situation. Was in and out so quickly due to her prompt service I was even able to return to work.
Great customer service, glad to open up an account with you guys!”
“I come in here a lot, once one of the tellers accidentally gave me $11 instead of $12, the next day he noticed his mistake and when I came in again, he immediately said hey I owe you $1. Now that’s great that you immediately confessed to your mistake and not feel embarrassed.”
