As one of the largest banks in the United States, US Bank draws upon over 150 years of banking experience to offer its personal, business, commercial, and government banking customers a full suite of financial products and services. The bank offers its customers quick and secure access to funds through online and mobile banking options. US Bank’s depository banking products – for both its individual and corporate customers – include savings accounts, money market accounts, checking accounts, and Certificates of Deposits (CDs).
The bank’s personal savings accounts, money market accounts, and checking accounts can be easily linked together in various relationship banking packages, with attendant banking perks in each scenario. US Bank’s personal money market accounts yield better interest rates for larger account balances, and there is a tax-advantaged Individual Retirement Account (IRA) option available as a money market account. Personal CDs are also available, with terms ranging from 1 month to 60 months.
US Bank’s business checking accounts vary based upon account balance and monthly transaction volume. These business checking accounts can be combined with other business banking products and services in a variety of relationship banking packages – again, with attendant perks for each scenario. The bank offers a business “sweep” savings account that automatically transfers excess account balances from a business checking account into a business savings account with higher interest rates. Just like the personal money market accounts, business money market accounts yield tiered interest rates, depending upon account balance. US Bank’s business CD terms go from 14 days to 5 years.
In 1863, US Bank was established as the First National Bank of Cincinnati. Today, US Bank is owned by bank holding company US Bancorp. The headquarters for both the bank and its parent company are in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Amazing Experience!!
I opened an Gold Checking Account with them and closed it and transferred out the funds about a year later, only because I very seldom used it. About a week later, I received a check in the mail from US Bank for $0.02!! Apparently this was for the accrued but unposted interest which my account had earned when I closed it. I have never dealt which such an ETHICAL bank!! Even if they were legally required to return the $0.02 to me, obviously I couldn't have cared less had they just kept it. For its honesty, US Bank deserves 5 stars!!
US Bank
US Bank has a very good mobile app. I also enjoyed using their website from time to time. Their in branch experience is not as great. I always felt like the tellers were turning their nose up at me which I did not appreciate. A lot of the time no one even looked up to acknowledge that I had entered the building. I liked everything else except being treated less than human.
Be Careful - Fee Hungry And Greedy Bank
I am so on the fence about US bank, I like their ATM network and the partnership with moneypass and I also like their online and mobile app. However, they are the greediest sunofab%%%es that operates as a bank. I have never seen such a litany of fees at one bank. NSF, Extended Overdraft, ATM Denial Fee, Debit card denial fee and the list goes on an on. Also, forget a courtesy reversal, they basically told me to pi$$ off when I asked for my first overdraft fee. They are basically ok but will rob you blind if you don't have much money.
Worst Bank Experience Ever
Probably the worst experience I have ever had with a bank. My partners and I decided to use them for our small business account. It seemed to start out ok until we found out they had not set up our account correctly. We were having issues every time we issued a check the return address either would show a personal address with the company name or a personal name with the company address. I called multiple times and they kept telling me to not log into a personal account. But we were logging into the business account and sending the check directly from there. Finally, after multiple calls one person was smart enough to look further into it and realize it was an error on their part and it was corrected.
Next, we wanted to wire transfer money to our attorney in Mexico. We told them how many pesos we need to send them. Instead of converting the pesos to US dollars and taking that out of our account they sent the pesos equivalent but as US currency numbers. So basically, sent way more than needed. We noticed the error and told them. They acted as if they didn’t know what to do and couldn’t get the funds back. We warned them after months that the attorney at some point will have to claim it and be taxed on it. They continued to act as if they couldn’t do anything and told us to start trying figure their mistake on our end.
Eventually they were unable to obtain the funds after waiting too long. The local manager threatened us by telling us if we didn’t return the money someone would get fired at US Bank for their screw up. We are a startup company and aren’t even paying ourselves so not sure what we could do about it.
The manager doesn’t answer her phone or return her voicemails and is never in the office so not sure what she does. They just recently took the money back out of our account. We are talking about $5k which is peanuts to them, and it was their screw up.
I know all banks have their good and bad, but I was blown away on how bad they are. Needless to say, we are moving on from them so just error on caution when looking to do business with them.
