Pros – US Bank Review

One of the biggest benefits to US Bank is that it offers so many different financial options. Chances are, if you're looking for just about anything financial, US Bank offers it.

Their easy to use online banking interface makes it easy to quickly access and manage your banking activities.

For checking accounts, you pay anywhere between $0 for student checking and $12.95 for standard checking (with an APY ranging from 0% to 1%).

For their savings accounts services, it's best to go with the bank’s free savings account option called Package Money Market Savings.

All of the bank’s savings accounts options come with the same 0.5% APY, so there isn't much reason you would want to pay the fee for a paid account.

For those with great credit scores, US Bank offers auto loans (rates below 3%) and does not require down payments.

Personal loans start at a little over 9% while H.E.L.O.C.s are 3%, and home equity loans are 5% to 7.29%.

Consumer Complaints

Any large corporation is going to have its fair share of complaints. Unfortunately, that's just something that happens in big business.

Here are the most common complaints about US Bank services…

  • Website not working properly.
  • False promises made by customer service.
  • Fees higher than expected.

In addition, US Bank yields are lower than those offered by other banks with high yield checking and savings accounts.
