    I have a small business that recently legitimized as of 8/2024. When I initially reached out to the branch manager to discuss opening a checking and savings account with **********************, I filled her in on the nature of our contracts and annual profits and conducted a several hour long interview. To my expectations, we settled on a small business checking and savings. I informed her of our needs for ***** and the ability to deposit and access checks quickly and was assured they would be met. I was handed a folder with my terms and conditions, she shook my hand and off I went. Things I was not informed about at account opening that I learned in the following days:- the savings had a daily limit of $1000 also I could not make deposits into it at the atm when I was trying to because it was not valid. They were about to charge me fees.- I had a Zelle limit of only 3 people a day and somewhere between $1500-2000/a day limit - I did not have access to mobile banking as promised, also portal functionality is terrible I attempted to sort these issues out to no avail. Then 11/2024 I went to make a deposit at the branch atm. The *** ate the check and spat out a deposit slipthe only record of the money my business madeI had it resolved with customer service. 12/2024 I attempted to deposit funds, the *** would not accept anything, so the next day I went into the branch to deposit in person. I handed over $3,544 in checks, a very specific amount, and receive a deposit slip for $2,258, which was absolutely no combination of numbers looking at the checks I gave. All of these were corporate checks. None of them were illegitimate. When I pointed this out my checks were quickly recalculated and I was handed a slip for $3,544. The slip I was initially given, thrown out by the ********* is the middle of December 2024. This account was opened in August 2024. I am closing as of Friday when I meet with the bank I should have gone with from the start.

    Hi *******, we're sorry to hear this has been your experience. **************** is something we don't take lightly, so we're looking into this further on our end. We will have a banker reach out to you to discuss this further.

    Been with Wintrust since 2020 and always raved about them, but in retrospect havent really had much cause to interact at all. $20000 cashiers check from a major reputable bank deposited by myself into my account in person on October 25th. With no explanation as to why, when I asked, they will not release the funds into my account until November 1st. Avoid this bank at all costs. I am selling a condo and was planning on depositing $100K in there on Nov 8th but h*** no - it is beyond obvious they are holding onto the funds so they can earn interest and I am genuinely tempted to initiate legal action but Im sure their fine print covers them. Am 100% ditching this account next month. Cashiers checks are intended to provide extra security and this was treated like a personal check I deposited over my phone. Unbelievable. As if anyone has the means to sit back and wait for cash to flow. A bank above all should know this.

    I paid my Lake ****************** bill here and they never sent my money to the Lake County Collector. Now I owe a penalty. I never had this problem with ************* I've owned homes since 1973 and have never missed a tax payment. I don't even know where my money is.Beware, don't pay any taxes here in ************. I hope to recover my money plus the penalty or I will file a court claim.

    Wish there was a ZERO stars option. Ive been banking for 40 years and have NEVER been treated so horribly as we have by the branch at E.Main St/Foxfield in St. *******. My entire family banks here several accounts and we have ALL be treated with such disdain, ****************************** its almost unheard of. The branch assistant manager is the worst. We literally go to another town now to a different branch because of the gross incompetence and lack of respect of almost all of the staff at this branch. Not to mention that simple transactions here take ridiculous amounts of time and are full of errors. We will be changing banks soon and sharing our experience to save others the ***************** We have multiple businesses and were considering moving all of our commercial accounts here initially NEVER will that happen. Corporate really should consider all of these horrible reviews and take some action before the business shutters. Terrible, terrible business and staff.
