Just opened up an account today, and if you don't believe what was seen below, believe me.
I have heard last week that they are offering no monthly fee WaMu basic checking until the WaMu divisions are fully integrated into Chase. Today, October 26 was the last day. I did ask for that type where they will waive a first overdraft fee for a year and no monthly fee- it did not happen. I have seen specifically that in the basic checking that I have right now, they will require me to have that account for 90 days, but in the meantime, to avoid a $6 monthly fee, I have to make 5 puchases from my checking account FROM MY ATM CARD ONLY-CHECKS DO NOT COUNT AND IT WILL NOT COUNT DEPOSITS!

I did choose this bank to think that I will have some access to branches in the east coast and thought that the dissolution of Washington Mutual was a good thing- how naieve I was, and what crooks they are towards a person making less than $3000 a year! After those 90 days are up, I won't bank there again even if I do have a good paying job and it has more locations & covers more states than the one I have-they're FORCING me to spend! ):-(

Hard to say which is worse, Chase or Skank of America. They both are too big and treat customers with total contempt.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS BANK!!! There are still many other banking options.

I was a WaMu customer, when I sadly found out Chase was taking over. Both my father and sister had previously cancelled Chase credit cards due to horrible service and then I got stuck with them. After being stolen from and lied too, I cancelled my two credit cards and moved my checking and savings. Chase did not care one bit. I hate this bank.

SERIOUSLY! THIS IS THE WORST BANK OPTION IN THIS COUNTRY!

Never like bank of america after dealing with couple of money issues.  Then I switch over to Chase bank.  This bank has everything to help big and small businesses.  I have been with Chase for last eight years and never faced with any kind of issues.  Most important thing is that Chase's representative do know how to count the money.  May be, bank of america wants to learn how to count the money from Chase bank's representative.

This is the worse bank system I have ever had to work with. I'm a forced customer when WaMu changed over. I have to agree with the other blogger..WaMu was great. Had them for my mortgage and credit card. Chase...as soon as they had their mitts on my account almost doubled my interest rate even though I've never been late and overpay the minimum charge sometimes by two or three times the amount. I called...sorry can't do anything about it. Sorry....can't give you any credable reason why it was done. I couldn't afford it and chalked it up to the bad economy...so I closed the account figuring I'd wait till the economy betters. Well it's months later and I just got off the phone. First..I get a service rep. with an accent so thick, you can't understand her and OMG I really tried. The 2nd rep. says "no...can't help me with the interest rate. Nope.......don't know why they did it. Nope....can't be lowered, once the acct is close. That's the rate that you pay until the card is paid off. Nope can't reopen this one. But you can apply for another".......Lady...Chase...' You and the horse you came in on.' If you get my drift. STAYYYYYYYYYY AWAY FROM THIS BANK, if you want to keep your hard earned $ and your sanity. As far as I'm concerned their practices are questionable and probably corrupt. I hope they go under.

Using the slogan "We're There For You," makes me wonder what Chase Bank is there for?

Recently I got a letter in the mail stating they were closing my credit card account because my balance was too high. Too high? My balance was at it's lowest since I had the card. It was less than 1/4 of what it was at it's highest point. Not only that, but my payments had been on time with a little overpayment each month to bring that balance down.

Guess I made the awful mistake of not charging on the card in several months. Could that be it? Or could it be that I was placed on disability a few months earlier due to breast cancer and that note finally hit my credit report. the timing of it all is very uncanny.

Truly, when I may need Chase Bank or should I say when they should be "there for me," they are not. Yet I get letter after letter asking me to open a checking or saving account with them. Really?

Hey Chase -- I'm not there for you.

I tried to dispute a $75.05 unauthorized credit card charge on my Chase statement. Chase never sent me the paperwork to dispute. They just read the lame statement the CSR typed into my account (from my verbal telephone call) and said that I was to resolve the matter directly with the Merchant and closed the case. The Merchant was in another state and who said I had to go to their store to get credit!! They charged my card (fraud) unauthorizedly.

To Scott Aguilar at Chase (a supervisor (800) 640-4377), I tried explained that it was impossible for me to go to the Merchant. He said that I had to follow the Merchant's resolution. Again, I repeated it was impossible. He said "so you are lied in your original statement?". His brazen words floored me and I was completely at a loss for words. His business acumen and behavior is a mirrors Chase's CEO mannerisms - a bully, aggressive, abusive, "take no Sh!t" from no one. They only want to give sh!t to their customers - not customer service.

After 3 weeks of telephone calls, the Merchant's corporate office finally reversed the unauthorized charge. No help received from Chase at all.

Needless to say, I fled Chase. I rather go to a Nix Checking Store or Gary Coleman's Payday Loan outfit than be a Chase customer. Chase is dying a slow suicide. They'll hang themselves within a few years. Also, all of the Chase employees flunked anger management class.

I am a disabled person with a tracheostomy. And I went to cash a check that was drawn on their bank from National College, After charging me $6 and me giving them my driver license, they insisted on another piece of ID. They were smug, and staring at my Trache. I gave them my fishing license, travel rewards card and my WV medical insurance card. But they still refused. I went to my car and returned (all the while struggling to to breathe). I returned and gave them my Property Tax Bill, My Car registration ticket and card, My insurance ID cards, My blood donor Card, my Auto Tax bill, but still they refuse and by this time they were sniggering at me. I told them, that I knew that they were hasseling me because of my disability, the assistant manager said, "No just those forms of ID wont do". I went back to my car and got my social security card, and took that to them. They refused my Social security card, but finally said since I was disabled they could accept my travel rewards card!!!! Now anyone can get a travel rewards card. Then they acted like they didnt think the check would clear the Colleges account, after about standing their an additional 15, huffing and puffing about ready to collapse, they finally cashed it. I have already called customer service and told them what happened, but they were not interested. How ever she did say she would have it investigated. I plan on filing a complaint with my state attorney generals office, and see if they will help me. That was the most horrible experience I have EVER encountered at a bank. Of course they kept telling me, if I opened up an account there, I would have no problems cashing checks! This was after offering AT LEAST 10 other pieces of government issued documents, showing my mailing address (which was on the check and my drivers license). This chase bank is sick!

Seattle's 4th was sponsored by Wahington Mutal for years! Great deal. Now that Chase took them over, it"s adios to that tradition.
Instead of their new slogan song;
"YOUR NOT ALONE", it should be "YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN"

What a NIGHTMARE! I have switched over to Chase from Commerce Bank, after it was bought up by TD Bank. This was for the convenience of having my paycheck cleared the same day. That was one of the biggest mistakes I have ever made. Hidden fees galore! Also, I had my Savings and Checking linked (not overdraft protection) to have any NSF situations covered by the Savings account. The customer service moron on their main line changed my Savings into Checking. Ever since, it's been back and forth with them. Also, they are supposed to charge $10 a day for any NSF's, since they draw up missing funds from my Savings. I have yet to see that happen. Instead, I still get charged for any insufficient funds and they do not tell you when you go to the store and there is not enough to cover the charge. Chase puts it through just to turn around and charge $30 NSF. Motherf$%^$kers!

Only gets one star because you can't choose a negative integer.

Chase reduced my HELOC a couple of weeks ago from $100,000 to just $16,000.

They did it in clear violation of the Truth in Lending act by coming up with an origination valuation (either in error or by design) that a) did not exist and b) made it look as if we had a reduction in property value far greater than it was in reality.

You can read about the whole sorry mess on my blog - http://chasebankwillscrewyou.blogspot.com/

Chase is the newest bank in California "brand spanking new" according to the billboards. I want to advise anyone thinking of moving to Chase in California, to NOT! We have a mortgage with Chase JP Morgan, and called their 800# on our mortgage statement one day to see about refinancing, given the recent downward spiral in rates. We were informed that we could not refinance our mortgage with Chase, but that we could easily refinance our mortgage with then WAMU, and bring it over to Chase for a much lower rate. We were informed that doing this would be a breeze, that we would save hundreds of dollars a month and that it was basically a done deal. We were then charged $750 on our credit card for a processing fee. And that's where all the good fuzzy feelings ended. Once we started the refinancing process, our contact person fell off the face of the earth and a few weeks later, when we were finally able to speak to his manager, we were informed that the deal we had been proposed by our contact, would never have been attainable given our equity in the house. We also called a privately held bank to get a second opinion, and were informed from the get go that refinancing would not be possible for us at this time. We have been trying for over two months now to get our $750 back from Chase. Our initial contact person finally acknowledged he had made a mistake, that the 'regulations had changed and he wasn't aware of them', that it was completely his fault and that we would get our refund within ten days. Two months later the charge is still on our credit card and we are still having to lose our time trying to get our money back. Not sure if this is common practice at Chase, but we really feel like we have been the victims of racketeering!

It's horrible; I was just online last night and there were no pending charges, except one. I woke up with (4) overdraft fees, with transactions that out of nowhere; leaving me with a negative balance. The least they could do is to post up all pending charges and to help clear out some of this chaos.

chase bank completly ruined our life!!! They took our money out of our account without our knowledge and now refuise to give any of it back and then they charged us an insufficent funds fee. I am goin to my local newspaper and tv station with my story this action has left me and my husband of only a few months with nothing

I am trying to close an line of credit acct Chase suspended (due to decline value of my home). This line of credit was never used. To close it, Chase wants me to pay $105 payoff fee + Closure fee of $45 + fax fee of $60 + reconveyance fee of $45. I WILL NEVER IN MY LIFE GET A LINE OF CREDIT FROM CHASE. Please let every one know to be aware.

They have tons of hidden fees and find tons of ways not to refund you for fees or charges that you shouldn't have gotten in the first place - even fraudulent charges- because they contracted a 'third party'. The staff is incompetant and not allowed to authorize anything that might help you, and tend to have attitudes and look down their nose at you. It was hell banking there and I'm so glad I changed banks.

I went to my local Chase bank in Acme, MI to withdraw 10 of 20 dollars I knew was in my account. The teller explained I only had 52 cents, and that I couldn't withdraw any money. I wanted to know why--so I got online and the website was "down for service". I then went to an ATM and had it print out a small reciept for the last 5 transactions. Days later, the website was back up again and I went to check on my balance--they had charged me an overdraft fee of 32.00. I didn't understand why--until I noticed the 1.00 fee attached to my account, labeled "mini-statement". Nowhere did I see a notice when I went to that ATM hat they charged for small account statements. Had I been given the opportunity, I would had known obviosuly that the 1.00 fee would over-charge my account by 48 cents. I am going to Chase tomorrow and explaining the situation to the reps, who have always been wonderful to me about these types of things. If they will not reverse the charges, I will then withdraw all of my money and take up a checking account somewhere where they don't have hidden fees, which are not only very illegal but just upsetting.

I also have had my LOC frozen by Chase with virtually no notice because they changed the appraisal value of my home without ever seeing it or doing any kind of real appraisal. Here is something you may not know that is scary. I called Chase to see how they were going to report this decision to freeze all of these lines of creidt to the credit bureaus. They told me that they are not oging to report it any differently, that they will continue to report that I have an outstanding line of credit. For example, my home equity LOC was for $63,000 with a $28k balance and any future lender is going to assume that I have $35k of additoinal credit available to me. This will negativly impact a leneders decison because it looks like I have more credit available to me than I actually have. A higher potential debt loab also reduces your credit score, hell it can even raise your auto insurance premium. When I pointed out to the rep that it was unfair to report that I had a $63k LOC with a balance of $28k, and that future lenders would assume I had $35k outstanding available, I was told that "this is the way Chase has chosen to handle it and nothing could be done". I guess they have the right to reduce or freeze the LOC available, but shouldn't they have to accurately report to the credit bureaus what they did and that it isn't our fault ? Why should our credit rating suffer or why should it be harder to borrow money from other lenders ? I too have never been late and even have my first mortgage with Chase. I am in NY and have filed a complaint with the NY Dept of Banking today.

I went to withdraw from my Home Equity Line yesterday to pay a handyman for ~$6,000 worth of work only to find that they had seized my LOC without any notice. I went to the bank and they said because they did an appraisal on my home and the value had dropped from the time I took out the loan they had to drop the amount available for me to use. Isn't this like the bank coming back and taking my home because I'm upside down on the mortgage???? This is crazy and now I'm in quite a bind. Does anyone know if this is legal without notification?

I recently recieved a letter ordering me to stop using my home equity line of credit. I received the letter 3 days AFTER i was suppoosed to stop using it. Despite the fact that I have a credit raiting of 805, my income is in the highest 1% in the nation, my home loan is not underwater (even using Chases very conservative appraisal system)and I pay much more than the minimum every month! I had an outstanding sharedraft that was written during theat period, called their representative and received no assurance they would cover it. Just terrible! Just to be helpful, I called Charter bank the next day, got a similar loan and the interest rate is lower than I was paying Chase.

You're right there are lot of hidden fee. If you think they are bad, just wait until you get a mortgage from chase.

chase bank gets one star because there are no negative stars.

Many hidden service fees and an entirely inept staff that isn't authorized to do anything. Also the bank is wrought with mistakes made on their part.

They are getting one star because I can't give them NO stars. I deposited a $21,000 check, of which $20,900 was put on hold. The next day, the "back office" placed ANOTHER $20,900 hold on the same deposit. I am now showing a negative balance, and they are bouncing my checks left and right!! They are putting 10 day holds on my son's paychecks. As soon as everything is cleared up, this account will be closed!

they suck......horrible customer service......they take 4days to clear a pay check......i hate them so much.......im done with them......everytime i called they give BS.........they are full of c*****...........

The worst people I have ever dealt with in my entire LIFE! These people will drive you to madness. Having a good day, don't go to CHASE because you will leave way less than please. 99% of their employees have the personality of a sparrow fart in the Jungle! I have to try real hard not to HATE you Chase Bank.....YOU ARE THE ENEMY! I to wish I could give them a negative 1000 stars. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I am a chase customer and very disappointed with their service. I dont understand why they hold up my money when I make a deposit CASH...I made a small deposit the other day and they kept 400 till a week after. When I called the customer service line I was told that this is happening in my area...BUT I DEPOSIT CASH, AND NOT A CHECK! I WOULD UNDERSTOOD IF THIS WAS GOING ON IF I HAD DEPOSIT A CHECK...THEY ARE VERY RUDE AND DO NOT KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN ANYTHING TO YOU ON THE PHONE.. I AM SWITCHING TO COMMERSE..

Years ago I had major problems with Bank One and ended up leaving them on very bad terms. I wasn't sure if there have been any improvements with the bank now that it has become Chase, but to my great disappointment I am once again displeased with this bank. I urge anyone who reads this: DO NOT BANK WITH CHASE! If you are with Chase, then move elsewhere and save yourself from their ignorance.

ONE STAR is too high! I wish I could give Chase ZERO STARS. This company has literally forced me into bankruptcy. Like one reviewer stated, when making payments, they call and harrass saying they never received the payment and then months later I receive my CHECK in the mail which has been stamped UNDEPOSITED. I dont even want to hear the word CHASE ever again. I literally get sick to my stomach thinking about the h*** they have put me through. Never, EVER again. It's awful that a company would try to hard to make money. In the end they'll lose out.

It's all been said, 1000 times over, I'm just adding my vote. My only suggestion is this: Whenever they send you an offer, be SURE to send back the pre-paid envelope with a note telling them to, uh, go jump in a lake, or such. I also like to encourage whoever opens the envelope to look for another job. It just takes a minute.

wanna hear the worst? I am an employee of Chase for the last 2 1/2 years and will be for 2 more weeks. I can write a book about how they have screwed their customers left and right. Whats even worse is they make employees get Chase credit cards. One night while making an online payment (which I NEVER make late my credit is 813) I realized I needed to pay $100 more to use my card for gas and get rewards. I Went to the gas station filled up and the next day I noticed an over the limit fee fo $39. I called into our internal line and mentioned that I was a banker and that I went back online and corrected my payment amount. The lady replied "you can only make one payment in a 3 day period" Of course I didnt even know that and I work here.(just another way for the 800lb gorrila (Chase) to get fatter) I asked for a break since I work there and it was refused. To this day I have never been credited back the $39 but they want me to be Mr exited banker to try and get customers to want a Chase card.

That is just one example in hundreds that time and space on this web page wont allow for that has happened since ive worked here.

I am going to Wachovia. Rated number 1 in cusomer satisfaction 6 years in a row. Chase is dead last!

DO NOT BANK AT CHASE!!! take it from one of their top bankers. I am a national achiver at Chase and have been here way too long.

Nuff said.

If you are not a Chase customer they will charge you $3 for an ATM withdrawal. If you miss a payment on their credit card you will be charged $39 and your interest rate will go to 23.9%. They are trying to make up for their massive sub-prime mortgage loss by overcharging anybody they can extort money from.

The biggest damn crooks.

BEWARE of taking a Home Equity loan out with Chase Manhattan Bank. It is an "interest only" loan. They will not change payments dates even though your account is current and you are within the specified timeframe. They con you into making multiple payments by telling you that you will will be paid up to to that month...and then, WHAM. Late notice puts mark on your credit rating because they are saying you are late...not paid up. They are nasty and do not ever try to help you.

Chase is the worst. Out of town with a defective ATM card they tormented me with un-answerable "security" questions like the exact date and amount of the last electronic debit which was impossible to know from out of town and without a statement in front of me. My local branch manager apologized, called the customer service rep some choice names and agreed I was mis-treated. This is of no value sionce we depend on these customer service people when after hours or weekend problems arise.

I am 'dinging' Chase for their website! Today, it came up with errors running scripts. I have tried to sign up for email delivery of my bill many times. THAT page ALWAYS bombs. I have tried and tried to tell them about their site and I always get a form letter back telling me how to download transactions (!!!???) The least of the problems is my having to pick up my mouse and CLICK on the userid field. Why can't they position the cursor there in the first place? Tacky, shoddy, programming and scary security!

On September 4th 2007 i made a payment at the Chase bank on Riggs Road in Chandler Arizona. When my transaction was completed i asked the clerk a simple question regarding Chase points. "The information is on the back of the the card" was all she cared to tell me.In the process of being dircted a question the clerk forgot to return my ard to me.Days later i noticed the card was not in my possesion i could not recall the clerk handing me the card so i had to return to branch.Upon entering i noticed i was the only person waiting behind an older gentleman being tended to. A situation insued which required Marcus' help so he approached and the first clerk left.In the interm Marcus stood there as though to be a help but was not another guest arrived,being an attractive female, Marcus left the older gentleman never asked me if he could help me and dove at the young lady and away they disapeared into Marcus' office, this upset me very much,now the first clerk is back and finished with her customer,so i explain about my card (this was the same person who failed to return my card) and she tells me "See Stephani in the the back your card is in the vault" no ' HI MAY I HELP YOU by the way.So now im with Stephani and tell her what had happened with Marcus and she laughed! I said to her that i did not think it was funny but maybe thats how Chase treated its customer base.Then she had to call Loren Haskell who prcoceeds to say " i'll di that right now" which made me feel better but then Mr. Haskell decides to have an at length conversation with with the before mentioned Marcus.Finally Mr. Haskell opens the vault and retrieves my card.Not once did anyone do say anything helpful or nice instead i was treated like complete trash.

These charlatans tried to charge me $35.00 for a .21 overdraft.

Thirty-five bucks, for a twenty-one cent overdraft, which I took care of in less than a day.

That, is criminal. I do not care what their policy is, if I attempted to charge those kinds of rates when one of my customers was late on a payment, I would be in prison.

I have been with Valley National, who was absorbed by Bank One, which was then consumed by Chase. Each time, I saw a sizeable decline in quality and customer service.

I am considering keeping my money in a coffee can under the oak tree in the back yard. I suspect the worms and ants will give me equal if not better customer service.

For a laugh, try dealing with their inept -- albeit polite, and dipshitted -- online "Customer Care Specialists". God have mercy...

I used to think this bank was bad until I opened a Bank of America account. I miss you CHASE.

I have just been reading some of the other reviews, and my comment isn't going to be much different.  Their tactics stink!

Chase manhattan sucks. They charge 1.50 everytime you use a non- chase ATM. They hold you deposited funds. even official bank checks for 10 business days. They have become so nickle and dime it not worth the effort of banking with them. Rating F-

We have been a long standing customer of Bank One, the purchased by Chase. Customer service for unauthorized transactions to our checking account has been extremely poor. More important than the unauthorized charge is the several hours that I have needelessly spent accomplishing nothing speaking with their dispute department, being placed on hold, and ultimately disconnected. We do about a quarter million dollars business with Chase every year. Never a late payment, never an overdraft. We will be closing our four accounts with them and doing business elsewhere.

Beware of CHASE! DO NOT USE CHASE IF YOU CAN HELP IT! High Fees, poor customer service! I wont even go into it all right now but as soon as I come home from Europe I am changing banks. This is the most terrible bank that I have ever banked with.

BEWARE OF CHASE BANKS....Chase does not deserve a star , they lie to get your money in their banks,they do not back at all what they say,they have hidden out of line fees,(i.e.)insufficient fund fee with overdraft protection...30.00 plus $5.00 per day additional fee,not to mention they make sure that the $5 a day fee builds nicely before they send out a notice,only expressing the initial $30 fee and not the per day fee.I understand that there is a insufficient fund fee, all banks do.BUT NOT WHEN YOU HAVE OVERDRAFT PROTECTION !!!!They are fly by nights who dealt with only special finance (people with bad credit)and now they want some honest money. Well no thanks.RUN AND RUN FAST,PROTECT YOUR MONEY BY KEEPING IT FAR FROM CHASE'S GREEDY PAWS !!!!!!!

BloodSuckers,Charge you overdraft fees,after the 7-10 "processing time" for the overdraft and then the wait in the mail for the notice ,by this time the fees have been so blown out of proportion and so large that you do not know what to do but call the bank only to get the run around and have them change up everything they have promised,such as overdraft protection,processing time,bank statement/notice of overdraft.They will bled you dry if possible,they have hidden charges and will change interest rates without warning at their discretion and without notice.THESE BANKS ARE NOT WORTHY TO BE IN BUSINESS,they violate constitutional rights and are morally evil about their way they do business.They are liars and do not have customer service,they have customer apology line ,in which they apologize about being shady money grubbing overchargers and let you know that the matter is out of their hands and there is nothing they can do.This my sole opinion and a warning to you good people out there...ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS AND GET IT IN WRITING.OTHERWISE IT WILL BE YOU WRITING IN THIS FORUM.

Where do I begin with these losers? The fraud prevention people run the show at this bank and will freeze your card when you do ANYTHING out of the ordinary. My wife and I took a trip last year, no problem. We come back home and the card is declined for fraud prevention after 2 transactions. It gets worse. We briefly had a checking account with them. Took another trip, came home, and they froze our ATM card within 24 hours. The really back thing is that we had called customer service in advance to tell them we would be out of town! Stay away!!!

I am studying in Paris and I lost my ATM card. I called and canceled it and had them send me a new one. I waited the 7-10 business days that it was supposed to take and it didn't come. I called and asked what was going on and they told me that the person I talked to before hadn't filed the request for a new card. So I request it again. Another 7-10 business days, nothing. I call and do it again. Another week, nothing. I called and requested a new card FOUR TIMES and none of the people put a request through. All the while I'm alone in a foreign country with no way to access my money. Before I was able to have somebody loan me money I had to buy groceries with a bag full of change, and when I told them this they still refused to expedite the shipping of my card!

I tried to complain to the customer service department, only to find THERE IS NO CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. There is nobody you can file a complaint to.

The first thing I do when I get back from Paris is to switch to another bank.

Their customer "service" is laughable. You can NEVER get a live person on the line! And if you do, they'll try to send you to someone else. I used to like this bank, but they have obviously gotten too big. I will never work with this bank again!

I HAVE BEEN WITH SOME PRETTY BAD BANKS BEFORE BUT NEVER HAVE I BEEN CHARGED AN "EXTENDED OVERDRAFT FEE" BECAUSE MY ACCOUNT WAS OVERDRAWN MORE THAN 7 DAYS. DOESN'T THAT MAKE IT HARDER TO GET IT IN THE POSITIVE? OTHER THAN THAT THEY HAVE BEEN OKAY I GUESS BUT THAT REALLY GRINDS MY GEARS...
