It's a dump! Stay away because it's nothing but a headache. They are extremely incompetent. You'll be calling them every month to fix something because is run by stooges that are braindead. These clowns couldn't lead an army of ants to a piece of bread. If I could have negative stars to throw at them, I would. Stay away
Strange unknown charges and fees occur regularly and are often found to be accounting errors on the side of the bank. I am anxious about their policies, which change frequently. Customer service at most branch locations is fair to average.
They invite you to open an account with them and encourage you to set up DD and initial funding, after all verifications and deposit they will suddenly freeze your accpunt without notice. One day you wake up and cannot login into your account or see your balance or pay any of your bills. These theives then will not provide answers or help you. Using a faulty fraud detection system then disconnect you from your own hard earned money and will not give any recourse. You will get very rude people like bridgette who wont help you.
The only course of action you have left is filing a complaint with CFPB asap and let CFPB force these thieves to provide answers. Thank god for CFPB. Without auch regulatory federal agencies these thieves would thrive on stolen money from customers.
Never make these your primary bank. Avoid at all costs.
If we didn't have so much that comes out of our checking accounts automatically and direct deposits set up, I would pull every last penny I had from my accounts at Associated Bank and go elsewhere. And one star to too high of a rating. Appleton, WI
DO NOT DO ANY BUSINESS WITH THIS BANK!!! Go ANYWHERE ELSE!! Your account will be frozen for no reason without any notices. And there is nobody in the bank who can help. I get the same answer, someone will contact you, every time I call or in the branch. I've been waiting for someone to contact me for a month already but still no luck. The WORST bank experience ever.
Same thing happened to me. I have filed a complaint with CFPB and they will be forced to return my hardearned money back. Pls file a complaint with CFPB so CFPB can have a data base of these fraudlent freezes and can at some point penalize this bank

The rate that we received is fair, and we have had a good experience with this bank. In the future, if we need to finance a vehicle and have the opportunity to use Associated Bank, we will do so.
Mobile banking does not update account balances correctly -- leading to errors in the bank's favor when overdrafts occur.... Pending payments are also shown but are confusingly updated making your current balance always a matter of uncertainty.
Why is zero stars not an option?.... Go ANYWHERE else if you can!! Trying to make payments to this company is a JOKE. Doesn't recognize my email or password AGAIN. Been through this two times already. Make sure you make your payment Mon-Fri only and pay attention to holidays as well!! What a joke. Will refinance with someone else as soon as I am able!
This bank is horrible & has unprofessional staff members with very obnoxious attitude! They will hold your money & will not let you have access to your own money which I have direct deposited via my home refinancing & they froze my account,
Therefore, I have no access to any of my own money to pay for my food, medication for high blood pressure, eye medications & other necessary items. I am 66yrs old & my late 36yr son died 5mos ago. Therefore, I am under tremendous pressure & grieving my son’s death at the present time. I need my money to go overseas to conduct my son’s religious rituals
In addition, my 1st cousin died out of the country & I was not able to attend his funeral, due to this bank freezing my account for no reason at all & not even my fault. Their staff member told me that they just don’t keep large amounts of money in their vault. Therefore, I have to request in advance for them to order money from their home office. However, since they froze my account, they can’t even order any money for me to withdraw at this time! I am still waiting for the manager to review my account & return my call.
I have lived in America for over 50yrs & this is the horrendous thing that has happened to me. This is my own money & being discriminated like a criminal & treated unfairly.
So, I have written a letter to the CEO of the bank & filed a complaint to Better Business Bureau on Dec 27, 2022. I am definitely going to close my account with Associated Bank & take my business elsewhere where there is better service.
I would definitely not recommend anyone to Bank at Associated Bank st all, they will confiscate your money & use it to earn interest on your own money & not allow access to your own funds, which is so ridiculous.
If this matter doesn’t get resolved by this week. I am definitely contacting my attorney & file a lawsuit against this bank.

Contact CFPB consumer financial protection bureau and file a complaint against this bank. CFPB will force these theives to give your money back.
They did this to me also. And another commentor above as i can see. I have filed a complaint to CFPB. Not only will CFPB will help your individual case but also all the combined data of complaint will trigger investigation and lawsuit and penalize these thieves for stealing people's hard earned money.
Sorry for your loss. While grieving your Son's death you should not have to deal with this. Hopefully these thieves are made to pay interest for keeping your money.

I've Banked with Associated every since 1983 when it was First Savings. I had a Checking, Savings & CD Accounts. (My Complaint) I purchased goods online with my debit card and I never received my merchandise. Therefore, I contacted the checking department with my concern only to be Racially Profiled for the second time! Then I complained to the team lead about the rep's behavior and ultimately I was treated worse. Then of course nothing was done in regards to the rep's behavior or with my original concern. I was humiliated to say the least because this Racial Profiling is a pattern with Associated Bank's Checking Account Department. Please refrain from doing business with Associated Bank!
I took out a line of credit secured by my home earlier this year. I went with Associated due to the personnel that they had at two of their remote locations that were convenient to where I lived. The process was rather drawn out however and I felt the document requirements were somewhat redundant. On at least 5 different occasions I provided Associated with proof of insurance during the application process as they appeared to be unclear as to what they wanted.
Last week I received a time sensitive document from Associated requesting insurance information that had been sent to them on 2 previous occasions. The letter was dated Nov 3 but it was postmarked Nov 14 from Miami, Fl (I live in WI). I received the letter on Nov 21. The time sensitive document required a reply in 15 days from the date of the letter, so when I received it the information they demanded was already past due. I sent an email to the staff member who handled my loan application and asked her to forward the document to me that was requested in the letter to make sure Associated had actually received it from my insurance agent back in May prior to closing the loan. I received the document from her the next day with the statement that it met Associated Banks requirements.
Yesterday I received another letter from the bank stating that they had taken out another insurance policy on my behalf to satisfy their demands and would be charging it against my account.
Knowingly delaying the delivery of mail is a felony. Charging a customers account without their consent violates Federal Banking rules. Treating a customer as Associated has treated me is bad judgement.
Although the fee was minor, some $30, my home is one of my most valuable assets. If this bank will treat me like this over such a minor matter, what will they do if something major were to occur??? I have become extremely nervous about Associated Bank.
I am in the process of removing my business from this because of this and also because Associated recently closed the 2 satellite banks I mentioned earlier and is no longer convenient to me. Also I have major concerns about the health of this institution along with my questions regarding the quality of their staff.
Only because 0/5 stars wasn't an option. Not being able to see pending or declined deposited checks is a major inconvenience, and your new UI is absolutely disgusting.
Although I love Associate Bank and have been with them for many years, the new version of of their app is horrible. What used to be so easy to see when I logged in are now statements and trying to discover what payments have been made are no longer available easily. It took me 5 minutes just to figure out how to do check deposit. Why is it when something is working along come someone that decides that "we can do this better". Better for whom? Not your customers. I am seriously thinking about changing banks. Ridiculous.
