I give this bank a -100 (yep, minus 100) rating. Paid extra on my car loan each month and one of the payments doesn't even show on my Payment History. I have only had this account for 4 months. The total amount of one payment went towards the principal and none towards the car payment. What a nightmare! I want to know who made that decision? I have made numerous phone calls, talked to someone different each time. I was told over and over, all your payments show (NO THEY DO NOT) and I send my payments in TOO EARLY. So I am punished for too early and told not to do that by a representative I spoke with. I called again today and actually spoke with someone who gives a **** and agreed with me. One of the payments is not posted. Is this Bank taking my money for investments and not properly putting it on my account? Sure seems that way. This Bank is highly rated with the BBB and ******** and in the BILLIONS. I think they need to take another look. How many people have had their accounts messed up? Maybe they need to take some of their billions and invest in hiring competent employees. I am pulling my account and will NEVER NEVER NEVER deal with this Bank again!!! Even if they are the last Bank on earth, I will NEVER!!Review from Larry B

I was notified by a credit reporting agency that a checking account was opened using my SSN and another person Name& Address! Identity Theft On 12/ 5) at a Associated Bank location( unknown) I contacted the customer service and provided my SSN, they said they would freeze account and investigate I called back several times and using my SSN we’re able to say Investigations still on going and would update me by phone of any new information. This morning when I called they said they had NO record of any of this ever happing I asked to speak with someone in fraud department they said they would not divulge that information, to date I have put fraud alerts on All 3 credit agencies and also frozen access to them, I also filed a police report, and with ******** ********* ********** ****** * ****I have spent the last days trying to correct this situation, but the Bank seems unable or unwilling to help!Review from Ramona B

I was in the process of purchasing a home with this bank, loan officer ****** ******** failed to provide me with correct information, she also was one of many people who tried to force me to purchase a home that even after expressed concerns several times throughout the process. I also reached out to the manager who in turn failed to help me with concerns I was having. I have proof that everything she did to bully and force me to make this home purchase. This is one stop on many complaints I will be moving forward. I am a first time home buyer and this was a horrible yet stressful experience I have ever had. I will also be posting all my proof showing that she acted without integrity, demanding, bully tactics, threats of a law suit and having outside conversation with the realtor(***) and the listing agent for the seller(*******) stating that she would be processing my Home Loan weather or not I agreed with things that were going on. She told that once I wrote offer on a house I had right to change my mind.Associated Bank, N.A. Response

Opened a CD at a promotional rate. At maturity it would automatically renew at some ridiculously low rate. Called customer service of the date of maturity to move the money to my checking account, a pretty simple transaction. I was told I was required to go to a physical location to transfer the founds. So I drove there on my lunch break. The Teller informed me I had to meet with a banker to complete the transaction. Wasted 20 minutes for something that should be as simple as a few clicks online.Associated Bank, N.A. Response

Frustrated to say the least. Took out a loan for a car with them over a month ago. ****** is stating that they have yet to receive the money and is threatening to Repo my car / take to collections. Associated Bank has been TERRIBLE with communication. Just outright terrible. After prying the information out of them turns out they lost my cashiers check but theyre attempting to make things right. Meanwhile ****** is still calling me to threaten to take my car away. Even though this loan has YET to be finalized and associated bank has admitted this is their fault, they are still auto drafting my payments for the car that is still technically not even mine. How is that even possible?????It was significantly easier to take a home loan with a different financial institution than it has been to take out a very simple car loan through associated. Extremely frustrated and have yet to get a solidified answer on how I will be made whole for the countless hours and stress I have put up with. Not to mention that because of this, ****** is calling my place of employment informing our employees that I have late payments. ALL BECAUSE ASSOCIATED CANT MANAGE A CASHIERS CHECK.Associated Bank, N.A. Response

You have much better choices than this bank. I have nothing good to say about them. Example: took out credit card (Elan) thru them several years ago. Never late, never abused. Las! week paid card 2 days late... bam!! $30 penalty!!!! Went on line and found that most credit card companies forgive late fees if you are not abusing the privilege. Just need to contact customer service. What a joke. Customer Service is a misnomer here. Contacted bank via chat and was given the literal shaft. Again I have used to be a perfect customer with this bank. Not any more, Associated!Associated Bank, N.A. Response

Do not bank there. This bank is playing games with your money. Using the promotion coupon I opened account at one of the associate bank Glenview location. The banker of this location opened account for me and explained what should I do to get promotional credit the end of 4 month period. When I called bank 4 month later I was denied this credit due to the fact that I was not qualified. Same happened to my friend. The bank locks your money for certain period of time and do not full-feel their obligations.Review from Rita S

DO NOT BANK HERE **This bank gave me a list of “free ATMS” when select ATMs on the sheet charged fees **Does not honor/falsely advertises bonus promotions **Posts days delayed charges for checks/debit **I used the “bill pay” feature one time and a month later the check never made it to the utility company. I incurred a $55 fee for this transaction and when I contacted Associated Bank about it, all they did was threaten to charge me an extra $35 fee to cancel that check. I opened up a Better Business Bureau complaint in regard to a promotional mailer that’s code they improperly entered at account open. 4 months later I didn’t get my bonus. I have them multiple options to resolve, the final resolution being an apology and explanation for what happened with the mailer. If the banker that created my account improperly entered it, if they chose not to honor it for any reason, etc. I informed them that my husband and I are very seriously and we take mishandling money + information in such a setting seriously. On top of all of this, the agent that dealt with the complaint was disrespectful and had a hard time comprehending everything. The big takeaways from my experience is that this business does not properly handle your paperwork. I wasn’t entered under the correct promotion and they couldn’t even provide me with a copy of the opening disclosure when requested. They also openly falsely advertise. Upon figuring out I was entered under a different promotion than I signed for, I did digging on their website. Promotions for business, checking and IRA accounts were all improperly advertised. They tell you HALF of what you need to know in order to receive a bonus. The other half is shared at your in-person appointment to open the account. It’s a dishonest practice they use to get people through the door. When I brought this up to the banker that dealt with the complaint, he didn’t deny it in any way. Banker that dealt with it was Andrew at **** ******* ******* *****Associated Bank, N.A. Response

I went to open an account and was denied. They took $1525 and it has been two weeks and have not received my money back. I would discourage anyone from using associated bank. I'm sure they are making money with my money and in the meantime I have 0 money for food, gas, rent etc.Associated Bank, N.A. Response
