Wells is a ripoff and I had a bad experience with them that showed me how much they suck. Fresh from college, searching for a job. Sold my motorcycle to be able to live for two months as I interview. Go to Wells to deposit and don't want to wait in line, so I deposit $2k in cash in ATM. Few days later my balance shows that the deposit hasn't gone through and they tell me that my deposit envelope had no cash in it. I demand investigation and they say ok. Over the next two weeks as they investigate, I'm offered no updates at all, despite repeated requests. Finally they give me my money back, but they refuse to explain what happened. I pulled my money out the next day, went to Wamu and I've been happy ever since. Big middle finger to Wells...but I'm not bitter

I deposit cash in the ATM all the time, but I flash it in the camera that's on the ATM, and show me putting it in the envelope, then I put the envelope in, if they lost the money AND the video...then I'd have to take em to court or some ****, but that's my thing, show the camera to have backup!

My only complaint is other people in line when I'm trying to do something at the bank, other than that, WaMu has been pretty good.

depends on what your final balance was, if it was $5.78 then they probably thought damn this guy needs a job. If it was $4,758.84 then they would've thought...damn, this guy sure knows how to save.
