This review is from US Bank
USBank sucks!!!!!
They charged me $75 for writing 5 to many checks. One of them was for $1.70.
They also charged me $15 for checks in the past, I thought it was a fee for sending money online to someone. Nope!!!
They charge $3.95 for a plastic Christmas gift charge.
If you do business with this garbage company, you had better read the fine
print in everything they send you.
They screw up and get bailed out by the FEDS!!!!! We pay for their stupidity!!!!!!

Actually, US Bank was not "bailed out" by the "feds." They participated in the TARP program and when they realized what the government was trying to do, they passed a stress test allowing them to pay back every penny early proving that they are a very strong and stable financial institution. And if you are referring to $3.95 gift card charge.. everyone charges a fee for those. Most are higher, and its not even charged by the bank, but by Visa. Oh, and if you don't have money in your account, you shouldn't be writing checks off of it.
US Bank used the TARP funds to purchase Downey Savings Bank and PFF Bank. Shortly after, US Bank paid back the TARP funds borrowed. US Bank is now in the process of purchasing nine more small banks... adding approx 150 more branches in US Bank's footprint.
P.S. Just because you have checks left in your check book does not mean that you have money in your account in which to write checks with.
