Customer reviews

The handful of reviews for U.S. Bank on TrustPilot are all over the place, from some calling it a "scam" to others giving the lender 5 stars, praising its "fantastic help." U.S. Bank is accredited with the BBB and gets a B+ rating from the organization. However, you'll find plenty of 1 star reviews from customers.
Bank of America has been accredited with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) since 1949, boasting an A+ rating for its operations after closing over 6,000 customer complaints over the last three years. However, it falls short in the customer service department, earning slightly over a one-star rating from 475 customer reviews. It’s a similar story on Trustpilot, where the bank has a 1.3 rating based on 844 reviews as of August 2021. While customers praised the savvy online experience and diversity of mortgage products, many were frustrated with the service they received. It’s worth noting that these consumer reviews are for Bank of America as a whole — and not for its mortgages specifically.
