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!!
Convenient Automatic Pay
With US Bank, the online experience was new to me when I first started. I wasn't sure I even wanted to do it, but because one of my bills gave me a discount for doing electronic funds transfer to pay it, I became interested in learning more. The whole experience of banking online soon became easy. It was nice to look up information about my checking account without having to call in and wait on hold for a long time. I found it was easier to keep track of expenses and find errors quicker than waiting for paper statements to come out. So I tried my hand at beginning an automatic payment that didn't have to be done that way, just for convenience. I now have several bills I regularly pay that way and it works very nicely.
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.
Feeding At My Account
About a month ago I inadvertently overdrew my account $50.00 when paying off a credit card balance. I have very little activity in this account. The bank assessed me a $36.00 overdraft charge, then continued to charge me $25.00 every seven days for a continuing overdraft condition, and never informed me that I was overdrawn. By the time I realized I was overdrawn, they had assessed me a total of $219.00. When I asked them why they had not called or emailed me that I had a problem, they said they would have sent me a letter at the end of the month. This is not banking, this is larceny.
