US Bank
Ridiculous Fees - overdraft fees

Us bank sucks! Two unrelated experiences in recent weeks show the bank has no problem exploiting their customers for fees. The latest one involves my daughter where a US Bank teller deposited funds into the wrong account (we specifically asked for money to go into the account tied to her debit card). We informed our daughter of the deposit we made and, based on that information, she subsequently used her debit card which over drew the account. I consider US Bank’s actions particularly egregious in two areas. First, the bank refuses to accept any responsibility for the teller’s error. Second, the bank allowed repeated debit card use for several consecutive (seven) days, rather than declining the transactions. The entire time the account had a negative balance, made all that much worse by exaggerated overdraft and negative balance fees. After some investigation, this appears to be common practice for branches on or near college campuses (my daughter is a student at SDSU). I consider these actions to be unethical and borderline criminal. I will never conduct any type of business with US Bank again and will take every opportunity to share my displeasure regarding US Bank to anybody who will listen.
