Bank of the West Blossom Hill Rd, San Jose

Bank of the west is a trusted institution with great CD rates over the years. I have been a customer since 1990, two checking accounts with Gold Lines of credit. This location is one that I have frequented the most. I love that I can write a check, for an amount over what I actually have in my account and instead if it bouncing my check, Bank of the West covers the check (purchase) and it's not considered overdrawn; it's automatically drawn out of my Gold Line and line of credit. It used to be $2 transaction fee but I think now it's $6, least time I checked. Then I pay interest on the amount. It has been a LIFE SAVER for me. Thank you Bank of the West. Another perk,is that they have several drive through branches SJ Ca. They've been closing the drive-throughs which is difficult when you're disabled. Please don't close them!!!

Bank can't even stay open for banking hour. 9-5. I guess people who work (necessarily) are out of luck.

Expect to wait in a 20 person line on any given day. Tellers and customers are extremely slow.

Small branch, but they keep the line moving. Pleasant atmosphere.
