American river bank... can stick it where the sun does not shine.

No BS. American river bank is a f....k joke.  https://www.americanriverbank.com/

I get a huge check... you know all of $300.  :p  ( I mean its a $300 check, who gives a rats ass)

I go into the branch to cash the check.  They have a policy, all non members are charged $5 to cash a check.   That was the 1st wtf...

"ok I want to open a account"  " you will have to see this lady over there"

So I tell her up front, I want to open a account to avoid the fee.  I get about half way thru the process and I tell her, I'm going to close this account as soon as it opens to get my money.   " you can't do that"

"its my account I can close it when ever I like"

" we won't open the account then, why don't you put the check in your bank"

" I need the money, right now, besides, your litterly 300 ft away from where I picked up the check."

So of corse I ask for the person in charge... guess what its this bitch.

So I ask for her boss contact info... she gives it too me... wouldn't you know her office is about 4 miles away.   Guess who is getting a vist  :rotflmao:
Now every one in the croprate office was very nice( I will give them that), even the SVP was nice( I'm sure I was really red by then as I was pissed. so I don't think she wanted to make me any madder) 
After telling her the story, I asked her "why am I here?"  "how much has your company spent on me today alone?" 

All of this BS could have been avoided if they had just waved the damn fee in the 1st place.

In all my days of working, I have never been once charged to cash a check, made to wait forever, or take part cash part cashiers check, but never charged.  Its like I told them, not only will I be telling every one I know about how crappy this bank is, I will also no longer take checks from them as payment. 

in the end, my check got cashed and no fee.

you bet I do... 

I gave them a chance...  I learned the hard way in the miltary, you give the chain of command a chance.  When it fails, go as high as you can and let the shit roll down hill.

Banks suck. Credit unions are way better.

Banks suck. Credit unions are way better.

It all depends on what credit union and what bank.

We have much better service, friendlier, more helpful staff at the banks we use than at the credit unions we have belonged to.
