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 Is Just Okay
Been with US Bank for about 6 years, everyone appears really nice when I walk in and friendly. My paycheck is direct deposited so I get the monthly fee of $15 funded back to me. Over the years their pending deposits hold for days which isn't good and you have to be careful. The mobile app is pretty good. 1 thing I recently noticed is I sold my house and made roughly $200k profit, paid fee for the wire transfer. I wrote checks and made some deposits, pending is less than a day now and checks clearing quickly now. ummmm. The bad things, the ATM fees are high, and they nickel and dime you at the ATM, Credit cards rates are very high and my FICO score is close to 800. I am not happy or unhappy with the USBank. Its convenient. I am looking to close this account and go with a more local bank. I need more.
Not a fan
I would not recommend this bank. I have had a lot of bad experience over the several years I banked with them. They actually went though a class action lawsuit due to the outrageous fees they charge for overdraft. They would make your deposits and purchases "pending" for days on end. Even though your deposit was put in first they would take out all your charges first and then charge you numerous overdraft fees prior to adding the deposit. I finally closed my account with them and moved to a credit union and have since had zero issues.
Do Not Use US Bank
Do not use US bank. I had a checking and savings account that I closed by phone on April 10. The same day I transferred the funds of both accounts to another bank. 2 months later the bank is trying to collect $49.95 of fees for the savings account that they kept open, even though I called to close it. I have been on the phone for over an hour to fix it, and they are transferring me to a 4th person/department. Total run around. Do not use this bank !
