    CDs 12 Month Rates

    I left this bank for 2 reasons. First, they closed some of their branch banks on Saturday without notifying customers ahead of time. Secondly, I had a CD with them and wanted the bank to be relatively close to what other banks were offering on interest. No dice. The gentleman did not even provide a figure. So I closed my accounts with them that day. This bank is NOT customer friendly like it used to be.

    GREAT WESTERN is making big changes to individual checking accounts
    First they eliminating all VIP interest checking accounts
    Fees will be charged for paper statements
    Cashiers checks 9$
    Monthly service charges unless your 1= your over 60, 2= your monthly deposits must total 250$ per statement cycle 3= must maintain $1000.00 per statement

    This is definitely not a friendly bank for retirees nor anyone who only receives a small monthly social security check to live on

    VOID THIS BANK! I have had a savings account for many years. I went in to close the account. It took the lady forever typing away...putting in the account number multiple times. Finally a check pops out of the printer. I told her I didn't want a check, I wanted cash (it wasn't much money). She tells me that it automatically prints out a check. I reiterated that I wanted cash. She proceeds to tell me that in order to cash the check they will have to charge me a fee because I no longer have an account at that bank. This is a check that was written with their bank name all over it. This is an amount of money that they know was in their bank 15 minutes ago...so it isn't going to over draft. This is all about getting every single cent in fees that they can get. I am beyond upset! I would NEVER EVER give them another single cent!!!!
