Been With Zions Since I Was 12 Years Old, And Will Be Staying With Them For Life!

Posted by: joeylap | Feb 10, 2012

Zions Bank has the greatest customer service I've ever experienced!

Every time I leave a branch I think to myself, "now that is customer service." When I lived in Layton, I would be greeted with a "hey Joey, how are you today?" Something I thought I would miss when I moved to Logan for school. It didn't even take a month before I was getting the same treatment at any of the many branches here in Cache Valley. Not just my name, but they remember to ask about my family, a test I had last week, or making sure I got over the sickness I recently had.

I went on a vacation last year, but forgot to transfer the needed money from my savings to checking before I left! I was away from the internet for the majority of the trip, but once I could check on things, I noticed that I had racked up quite a lot in NSF charges. I gave Zions a call and explained my mistake and they waived them all. Let me repeat that, they waived every NSF charge I had (validly) incurred. They didn't need to, but were more than happy to help out. This was very smart of them considering that because of this service, I'll be with them for life.

I once went into a branch inside a Smith's to get a money order. The teller told me that he'd be more than happy to get me one, but they cost $2.50. He advised I go to the Smith's customer service desk, as it would only cost $0.50 there. Instead of looking out for their company's profit margin, they look out for the customer.

The one downside is that they are not nationwide. If you travel too far, there won't be any ATMs you can use without charges. Zions' fees are very reasonable though, only one dollar to use a non-friendly ATM where other banks charge three or four. A friend of mine just complained about a certain mega-bank that charged him $38 for NSF (quite a bit more than the $0 I paid.) No minimum balance. No monthly charges. Just reasonable fees where needed and outstanding customer service.

I wouldn't dream of leaving Zions bank.

As expected

Posted by: Diersagev | Aug 28, 2014

When it comes to consistency, they just about have it nailed down. The unfortunate customer service that we've (sadly) come to expect, is right about on par.
There are no fireworks. Nothing personable or spectacular to mention regarding service; the employees are cordial and polite and will then happily transfer you to another department. If that is satisfactory for you, that's great! You'll be getting the exact same response from the next representative on the line.
That being said, what they do manage to take care of is prompt and efficient. Just don't expect them to feel your pain when your bank information has been hacked and your account has been drained. For some reason they can't grasp your frustration about your funds not being replaced for at least 3 weeks. Wow, what horrible, demanding customers we are!

Poor Customer Service

Posted by: oslagbar | Dec 15, 2014

I've been with Zions for almost 10 years and they have quickly become the worst possible banking experience ever. They offer products in which the local branches are unable to handle and need to call the Salt Lake City office for everything, They must provide little or no employee training as they customer service is no service at all. When doing an internal transfer of funds from the savings account to the checking account they hold the funds for a day. These are internal funds from balances that are supposed to be available balances. I have never had a bank put a hold on their their own funds. The branch manager has no interest in customer service and the HQ in SLC really don't care. I've tried to resolve issues in a calm and professional manner and have no results. Closing accounts and would never do business with them again.

Zions Bank Is Terrible

Posted by: JamesGaskell | Jan 4, 2024

We have been with zions bank for over 10 years and have experienced a slow decay of this bank and it's policies. The last complaint is they shut off our debit card because of security alarm but did not let us know about it. They said they sent an email (No) and they sent a letter (No) .. Because of this so called security problem, they deactivated the card which caused late charges from St George Utilities Dept. They refused to pay the charges even though it was their fault. They are a 3rd world bank in my sight. I will look for a better bank that has more stars than 2. What a terrible shame for banking in America. What happened to Integrity in Banking?
