Banks Ratings' goal is to range banks worldwide and provide analysis of the rates. This rating is based on votes from all sorts of users. If you have ever banked with any bank from this list, please rate it. You may rate several banks, but only once a day. First day of every month all rating results are brought to naught. Starting a monthly rating from zero allows to identify a monthly winner and thus more objectively display the voters' oppinion. We rate banks by the actual number of votes. Monthly voting statistics can be found here.
8 April 2012 » Avid Newsreader » U.S. Bank I called my local branch to check on my mortgage monthly payment amount. The bank manager answered the phone personally. She reviewed my mortgage and equiline payments, and advised me that she could re-fi these two into a new mortgage at a lower interest rate, with no closing fees of any kind, with the same payoff date (5 years). It saved me $136 a month. It is fixed rate with simple interest (can be paid off early for extra savings if I want) plus the mortgage is "in house" and won't be sold off. We closed it in under 3 weeks. Totally painless process and totally free. Suffice it to say, I was extremely pleased.

1 February 2012 » Stephanie » PNC I worked at PNC and I would advise everyone to switch banks and NOT use PNC. Their company policies do not allow the employees to give customers any slack and they are unethicial in their practices. When you see PNC, RUN!
17 January 2012 » a. boots » U.S. Bank i had told them that if i didn't have enough money in my account to not approve any charges sine they offer that. not only did they transfer 1000 dollars to my other account with out my approval they also charge me 268 dollars in fees for transferring the money. if that wasn't bad enough when i had called them to see what was going on no one wanted to take my call every one keep say please hold im a transfer you after a hr of that i finally drove over there and told them eater they give me my money back from there fees because i had told them not to move things with out my approve or im calling the police because they are stilling from me. then they could magicaly fine out what had happen and put the money back in 16 days.they had done this two time to me.
23 December 2011 » Angela » Wells Fargo I'm so tired of WF taking out my money for nothing. They don't post what they're taking your money out for. I too miss Wachovia!!!!!! I'm not sure what exactly they're charging me for. In times like these, people are struggling for every penny and they're taking out all of this money? I personally think it's so they can get overdraft fees out of the poorer customers.
30 November 2011 » Allen Hill » BB&T I miscalculated my bank balance by $4.00 and BBT bounced a check and charged me $35.00. That was okay and fair. However, BBT knew my Social Security check was coming in that night electronically as it had for over a year. I contacted the payee of my check immediately and made arrangements to pay it. Without my permission, BBT that night paid the check and charged me another $35.00. That is gouging.Totakl $70.00. Also, I had a Senior Checking Account that was free. Every 4 or 5 months BBT would charge me a $9.00 maintenance fee. I would then contact them and they would remove it saying, "Sorry,we made a mistake". Mistakes don't occur that regulartly. I am convinced that BBT did not expect me to notice the fee. I dropped them like a hot potato after the gouging.
13 November 2011 » Steve » Bank of America The new "improved" website experience is a bust. Its overly complicated and very slooooow. To top it off the old website would show current balance + available balance (that would include pending bill payments not yet sent out). Now it just shows “current balance”. A huge step backwards! Or are they just trying to set us up for overdraft fees? To add insult to injury, when I asked about this they said they had never included pending bill pays in the available balance. As if I had not been using web banking for years and wouldn't notice!
12 October 2011 » Tony » Chase Been a customer of Chase for 10 years. I was late one time a year ago on charge card and they jacked my rate to 29%. I have two other cards and was late on them the same time due to family issue and one went up 5% and the other stayed my current 12.9%.
I guess I pay Chase twice, my tax money for bailout and my intrest rates.
2 October 2011 » Brad » NAB Just got screwed big time with an International transfer, rate was not indicative of the current market, lost 10% on the transfer. Never again
7 August 2011 » Dianna » Wells Fargo What a rip off company...I MISS WACHOVIA!!!!! Well Fargo charges you for any and everything...I am looking to close both my accounts with them just as soon as I find a DECENT bank! Do any actually exist???? Wells Fargo is nothing but a rip off company. They took almost $700 out of my savings for what they called overdraft and MISC. fees??? What fee costs $700????? There should have never been an overdraft fee if THEY deducted my payments on MY scheduled days and NOT when THEY FELT LIKE it!!!!! I hate this bank! In fact there were many picketers outside several branches recently for the same reasons I have listed!!!
