First Midwest Bank

Great bank, friendly bankers, was able to open a checking account with only $ 5 (after giving $ 100 first, which I got back right away) I will use this account for emergency’s, paying bills and my Amazon Seller account.

Not the best bank ever! i was not impressed when i walked in signed in for a personal banker, took a seat and started to wait. meanwhile i noticed all the personal bankers were in a «meeting» and were just staring at me sitting there. after about 20 minutes of waiting someone finally asked if i needed a personal banker ummmm no im just sitting here looking pretty. Sarah came out to help me and took all my information that i needed. after proceeding to ask her if everything was fine with my account after that visit to which i got a yes to. Well come monday when i try to use my debit card go figure my account was still not active. Called tuesday morning after it still didnt work and was told none of the paperwork was submitted in… asked why it had already been technically 3 business days and nothing was submitted. was told they would try calling the branch to speak to sarah to see what was going on and i would get a call back mind you i called at 9am. come 12 and still nothing so i finally called again and spoke to a David thank god for the one decent smart person who works there who was finally able to help me and be able to get access to my funds. Not at all impressed with the service at this bank. i would not recommend it to anyone
