First Republic Bank, San Francisco CA

The worst business bank I have worked with. They're keep making mistakes. There are fees for everything. Customer service sucks.

If you have a credit line with this bank, they will not report your good payment history to duns and Bradstreet or other credit report agencies. They will only report it when you don't pay.

I strongly recommend staying away from this bank.

Great service and a nice office. I can't imagine banking with anybody else!

This bank is great. You definitely get a lot of personal one on one. I got a student loan consolidation with great terms and a specific contact that walked me through the process. I also love that you can use any ATM anywhere.

The only issue I ever had was a problem where a monthly recurring payment went out the first month but not the second. There was a little frustration with the phone team, but once I went into the branch in person, I got everything resolved quickly and painlessly.

They immediately wrote cashiers checks to the payee's and overnighted them; no cost to me. They even gave me $50 for my trouble. I couldn't believe it. Most banks try to blame you for any problem. I love that the tellers actually have the power to fix things on their own best judgement.

First Republic ATM team found someone in another part of the state using my card immediately. I called a branch office after I received a notice of fraud they found me help right away.
There is no waiting or computer voices or being transferred around to different clueless clerks. The service at First Republic is exceptional and you really want this kind of service and protection for your hard earned money.
Thank you Lina at ATM service!

Terrible customer service. Don't know where they find the people they hire. Getting refinanced has been nothing but problems with misinformation and a constant struggle with communication. Wouldn't put $1 in their bank.

The best. If you can keep $3000 in your checking acct.
