1st Security Bank

love this bank, I pull up and they have my account pulled up and ready to go. I have been banking here for 7 years, when I have issues Nicole is always on it, and its taken care of that day. The best bank around.

I have been a customer of this business entity for over 20 years. I started with Washington Credit Union which was absorbed by some other entity which became this bank, «First Security Bank of Washington».
It’s ironic that they have the word «Security» in their name. You’re money might be more secure with, say, Bernie Madoff … in prison.
I have to keep an eye on them EVERY month lately because they charge me these OUTRAGEOUS fees — sometimes for their own mistakes.
For example, I have specified on my account that there should be no overdrafts. Yet last month, they allowed an ATM charge that overdrew the account (the charge should have been denied). They immediately charged me a $ 35 fee.
Their fee pushed my account into the red.
A few minutes later, a smaller PayPal charge came thru — if not for their prior mistakes, this charge would have been fully funded. But AGAIN, they charged me another $ 35 fee.
About an hour later my NetFlix charge came thru and AGAIN they hit me with another $ 35 fee.
If I hadn’t been watching carefully, they would have gotten away with this. Fortunately, they refunded these fees.
But today, again, they are hitting me with $ 105 in IS fees, even though I wired money to the account to cover any overages midday. (Their managers have told me in the past that if I cover any overages prior to close of business, there wouldn’t be any charges.)
I will soon be closing my accounts there.
