Despite these issues, the overall sentiment remains positive, with customers appreciating the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff. Many regard Umpqua Bank as the best bank in the area, emphasizing their exceptional service compared to other banks in Pierce County. Overall, Umpqua Bank is recognized for providing a pleasant banking experience amidst the challenges of the transition.
Took out the front ATM that was under cover and left us with the drive through when the bank is closed. You WILL get soaked by the rain when trying to use it. And this company (Umpqua) almost immediately leaked my SSN after acquiring my account from my previous bank. I miss when this was Columbia Bank.

Columbia bank was, hands down the most pleasant and wonderful experience I have ever had with a bank. I suspect this merge of these two banks will continue to make the past and future of our banking relationship as successful.
