Founded in 1863, U.S. Bank has a 26-state branch footprint today and provides a variety of banking products, such as checking and savings accounts, money market accounts, and certificates of deposit (CDs). It has more than 2,200 branches and a large ATM network.

U.S. Bank offers two choices for checking accounts: Bank Smartly Checking and Safe Debit Account.

Bank Smartly Checking is an interest-earning account with automated financial tools to help you track your spending, set up account alerts and build a better budget. This account comes with overdraft protection and offers free Smart Rewards, such as rate bonuses and overdraft fee forgiveness, based on the combined balances of qualifying accounts. The account has a $6.95 monthly service fee unless you qualify for a waiver.

The Safe Debit Account includes a debit card, natch, but no checks. Using the bank’s mobile app, you can access tools to help manage your money and build your credit, set up direct deposits, lock a lost card and pay bills for free. This account has no overdraft fees but a $4.95 monthly maintenance fee and no minimum balance penalty.

U.S. Bank also offers a savings account and a selection of CDs with various term lengths. The Bank Smartly Savings Account earns up to 4.10% annual percentage yield (APY) when paired with a Bank Smartly Checking or Safe Debit account and combined qualifying balances. The minimum opening deposit is $25, with a $5 monthly maintenance fee that can be waived in several ways.

The bank has several CD specials that require a $1,000 minimum deposit. Choose a 4.00% APY for seven months, 3.50% APY for 11 months, or 3.00% APY for 15 months. The bank has standard and trade-up CDs in many term lengths, and a step-up CD with rate increases every seven months for 28 months. A standard CD requires just a $500 deposit.

Online banking includes access to Zelle, which allows you to send and receive money digitally, as well as financial planning tools and bill pay. The bank’s mobile app allows you to deposit checks, buy items with a digital wallet, transfer money and more.

Live customer service is available 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Central time Monday through Friday, or you can chat with an online banker, if available, through online banking or the mobile app.

I Love U.S. Bank

I’ve had checking, credit card & credit line with usbank for over 20 years, always had EZ website to use and great customer service - I get 2% on my credit card and use that for all bills to be billed to and all purchases - I recommend usbank for old school banking and ez internet website

Trading Company

the worst and dishonest trading company that I ever have had the misfortune of dealing with. They are, in my mind, criminals. I requested a withdrawal of £100,000 from my account. Within about 4 hours, the withdrawal had been put back into my account. Then my account was traded illegally with 11 trades taken and losing all the money. I complained to this company and they couldn't give a damn. I had to reach out to oliviatrader 44 @ gmail. com to assist me in getting back my money. Glad I have all my money back now.

Tried to open easy checking account and was declined. Called customer service, spoke to a really lovely young lady named Jessica, who advised that since I was out of their market area, I couldn't open the easy checking account unless I had other accounts with them, such as credit cards, etc.

Check Holds

This is the most awful experience I have ever had. After switching my business account from another bank to US Bank .I made a mobile deposit to my business checking account. Most banks would put a 3 day hold on a mobile deposit. NOT US Bank they put a 10 Day hold on a check that already cleared the individuals account the next day. This dilemma caused my account to become overdrawn for over $108.00+ Then I had to jump through hoops to get the fees reversed. It has been nothing but a headache. I am going to open a separate account with another bank, and limit the business I do with US Bank.
