Umpqua Bank

I love this bank. I love every employee I have worked with at this branch. When I was in nursing school and used to stop in to cash $ 30 babysitting checks and grab free coffee they were still as nice to me as if I had a big account.
Since moving a bit further from this branch, I still go there when I can because it’s my favorite.
When I was looking for a new bank a few years ago I had wanted a credit union, but after FPFCC by the park turned me down because I was «not in their range» (living a whopping 1 mile away) I turned to Umpqua and have been so glad I did.

Love this bank. The staff is above and beyond average. It is great they have the private vestibule so you feel safe doing your banking before or after biz hours if necessary. I recommend this bank in particlar, this location, to everyone.

We LOVED this bank. In a way we never imagined we COULD love a bank. They were friendly, it’s clean, free internet, and our accounts were even earning interest! Everything went way downhill when all the people working at the 23^rd location got promotions (because they were so rad!) and the new team in there now is not half as good. No one knows our names or our businesses anymore, even though we’ve kept personal and both our business accounts with them for years. And NOW we just got notice that the accounts are no longer free. No thank you. We even talked neighbors into switching to Umpqua, we would talk so highly of it. I’ve had enough. We are going to close up with them and join a local credit union instead.

«It’s just a bank.», said a co-​worker of mine, «How can you get so enamored of a bank in this day and age and economy?»
Good question, maybe not one that would make Socrates ponder Life, The Universe and Everything, but a good question none the less. Funny thing is, it didn’t take me but mere moments to think of why I like Umpqua so much, not only this location which I frequent a time or two a month, but every Umpqua Bank.
Free ice cream from their own ice cream truck, a dog expo complete with a free reading by a dog psychic, coffee, a computer to use free of charge, community involvement with fund raisers to name a few reasons. Some others are some of the friendliest people that work for a bank, fast service, full service whether you are a business banker or looking to buy a home or just personal checking and others.
I’ve been through a lot of banks in my life, Wells Far-​from-​it, Bank of Ruining America, Chase (you away), US Blank, and none of them actually ever made me look forward to going to the bank. This one does… and a free chocolate every now and again doesn’t hurt either.
