When I moved across state lines Wells Fargo required me to go back and close my account in my previous state and open a new one in my new state. Left and never went bank. When BoA moved from San Fran to the South and started doing questionable practices it was time to move. US Bank has been amazing, and my immigrant friends all say US Bank has overcome hurdles/issues that Chase, BoA, and WellsFargo refused to help with (often just refusing to take them as customers). When my mother died, US Bank was amazing with protecting her estate from legal BS, to the point that they ended up going to court and paying out of their pocket to do what was right (and this was not a large estate to profit them). Seriously never seen a bank (or large corporation) so willing to see/accommodate individuals and their situations instead of just providing cookie cutter services that if you didn't fit you were excluded. At this cynical point in society I didn't think a bank could impress me, but they have.
- swman 4y agoI’ve used us bank for an auto loan and they were super helpful when I sold it. I honestly get anxiety and social lock up when dealing with financial stuff (it’s all so much bullshit after the basic accounting is done) and they were really chill about the whole thing
- csomar 4y agoUS Bank is the 8th largest bank. I'm surprised with your experience with Wells Fargo since they didn't require that for my sister. Maybe they changed rules or it was a particular state? How good is the online/mobile app access for US Bank?
- ROTMetro 4y agoIt was because of the state we moved to, but we only had to do it for our Wells Fargo account. Not a mobile app power user but it does everything expected (deposit checks from phone, balance info), and I get large transfers in (trust and business) through Zelle and send to my son through Zelle instantly in the app.
- hadlock 4y agoI have never ever heard of a bank requiring you to close your account and reopen at another branch. Are there additional details?
- ch4s3 4y agoThat definitely used to be a thing. I'm 35 and I've done that twice in the past and it was a huge pain.
- heretogetout 4y agoI wonder if it depends on which states you're moving between.
- ROTMetro 4y agoIt was state dependant, but also only had to be done with our Wells Fargo accounts, meaning it was do to Wells Fargo's choices not specifically state requirements.
- em-bee 4y agoif it's not to personal, what kind of legal BS might someone throw at an estate and how would the bank protect against that?
- ROTMetro 4y agoSeeing as I have been dumb and posted things under this account I would rather keep anonymous, and court records are public, I can't really elaborate.
