Union Bank

Pros: Nice Incentive Bonuses

I received and offer in the mail from Union Bank...Get $50 for opening a regular checking account and get $50 more when you add their online bill payment program, called Bank@Home on the Web. Normally I throw these offers away but since it is from Union...

Pros: Friendly, professional service in an industry that can be cold!
Cons: Some deterioration in quality from a decade ago due to industry trends.

I have been a customer of Union Bank since the late 1980's and (only being 26) that is about as loyal as I can be to a company at this stage in my life.

The reason that I would stand by a bank of all things explains why I believe they have...

Pros: Fifty bucks to open an account, Fifty bucks to pay bills online
Cons: Confusing statements and computer print outs, Rude customer service

I was impressed with the free $100, that was a welcome addition to my bank account. Signing up for the account was about the same as any other bank I have ever been with. I got free checks, no fees for a year and $50 put into my account within 5 days....

Pros: Low fees for online banking / direct deposit account, good customer service
Cons: Only a handful of branches in Bay Area, ATM fees

Union Bank of California lured me to their bank after numerous offers of free cash - free $50 if you open a new account, free $50 if you use their online banking. After being a customer for the past 5 months, I'm happy with my customer service and the...

Pros: small town feeling
Cons: fees for travelers checks

I have been banking at Union Bank for the past 11 years and I could not be happier. From the moment I opened my accounts I have been treated as an important customer. Every time I walk into the bank people are smiling and know my name. That is quality...

Pros: Great service, reasonable fees
Cons: None

I operate a CPA practice in Martinez, California. I have been in practice since 1988 and in the profession since 1984. The service provided by Union Bank of California is terrific. In contrast to other local banks, Union Bank staffers actually...

Pros: They're the best main street bank.
Cons: The fees.

I've had generally awful experiences with banks, including Bank of America, Downey Savings, La Jolla Bank & Trust, and several credit unions. Their staff tend to be imperious and incompetent. Furthermore, banks charge horrendous fees to be custodians...

Pros: will give you money to open an account
Cons: some branches lack customer service skills

We used to have all our accounts at Union, now we only keep a small savings account there. I know it depends on the branch to go to, some are better then others, so I am only speaking of the branch I went to, and let me tell you, I have never seen people...

Pros: Excellent Customer Service...
Cons: They don't Con you

I have been working the same job for close to 6 years as a In-Home Health Care assistant for a elderly man in his late 70's. Our relationship is strictly by the book and his children are the ones who pay me to take care of their father.
Well, Union...

Pros: Many services are very customer oriented
Cons: Fees are difficult to understand. Must seek out opportunities to have fees waived, since they are not necessarily explained to you.

I have had accounts at a few other banks. I can honestly say that Union Bank accurately posts your deposits and withdrawls and offers Automated Teller Machines that can perform many services for you.

I have been with Union Bank since it was...

Pros: Provides lots of services
Cons: Service charges, check limits

I have been a member of Union Bank for about 3
years. I have been satisfied by the services
they have provided.

When I first started with Union Bank I had a
student savings account. It was good because
I didnt have to pay...

If you would like to watch your money burn, bank with Union Bank. I just got off a one week project on their banking proccedures and researching my financial status with Union Bank and I am on the verge of outrage!

Let me start with banking....

Pros: Transfer funds, pay bills, check statements
Cons: can't log on 24 hours like advertised

Been a UBOC customer since I was in high school working at Carl's Jr. fast food. I've really seen the interest rates drop in this bank. Help us Greenspan!
I get the typical nice bank teller.... and sometimes the mean bank teller.
Their...

Pros: Decent in the begginning
Cons: Overcharges, unauthorized changes, bad customer service

I have been a customer at UBOC for 4 years without a problem, but this past year has led to a plethora of service charges and various changes to my account that I did not authorize, nor was I informed about. I had a savings account that did not have a ...

Pros: Union Bank has taken care of me since day one. Fee waivers and free money!
Cons: They employ fallible humans. Humans have bad days.

I have had all the other banks practically kill me with the hidden fees. Washington Mutual, Wells Fargo, Great Western, Bank of America. Almost all of them. Union Bank has consistently been there for me and the people have yet to not treat me fairly....
