Ameris BankReviews of amerisbank.com

Worst bank I ever been with. Currently banking with them and hate it. Looking for a new bank. They are mishandling my money and its hard to track where its going.

If you have payments return only twice due to fraud or any other issue, they will not take any form of payments over the phone. The only option you have is to mail it in or western union which is another fee. I hate this mortgage company so ready for them to sale it to another bank.

Ameris Bank took over the lease on my car, and I moved to another state they wanted me to pay my balance in full around $2k to get the title sent to the DMV. I paid the car off and they lost my original title and had to send off for a new one, and when I went to trade my car the one, they sent was not the right one and it took me drive 6 hrs to Jackson MS to and back to get the thing straightened out. All i got from them was we are sorry. Avoid using them for loans.

Ameris Bank cleared a fraudulent $50,000.00 check, payable to an unknown party and bearing a forged electronic signature, without my authorization or confirmation. This lack of due diligence is unacceptable, especially since the bank applies precautionary measures for small $100 Zelle transactions. Ameris Bank has provided no official written communication or final closure on this investigation. My legal counsel's attempts to obtain an update have been met with silence. I demand an immediate, official written response outlining the final decision on this claim. The failure to provide resolution is appalling.

Very deceptive about fees, terrible customer service. Exorbitant fees. Worst bank I’ve ever financed with. Save yourself money and a headache and go elsewhere.

Ameris Bank keeps denying my legitimate mobile deposits. My husband and I own a small tree service company. Every penny counts. Our tree clients are repeat clients for the past 20 years. I should be able to mobile deposit their checks without issues. I'm calling corporate tomorrow and try to figure out what issue is! My husband and I don't understand!! 😡

They will not verify if they issued a $29,000 cashiers check. In a day and age where people are falsifying anything and everything, it's my job to call an issuing bank to make sure THEY wrote this check, but they will not confirm. I'm not sure how we are to do our due diligence, protecting clients from fraud, if the issuing bank can't even take a few minutes to look at their system to ensure THEY WROTE THE CHECK. Places all over the US do it. Unsure why Ameris feels it's not safe.

Came in to deposit an e-check from work at a local Ameris Bank branch located at 790 N Ponce De Leon Blvd in St. Augustine, FL. The teller refused, said they couldn't do, they didn't have the ability, I thought that was strange for a bank not to have the capability to deal with e-checks and be that inconvenient, so when i questioned that, their assistant manager, Sue Ferrell, was nearby and decided to get involved, and just started telling me off, sarcastically asking me "how are we going to print that????", "we don't have the ability to print!" I got irritated with her unprofessional and offensive demeanor and tone of voice, with her incompetence and stupidity, and quickly realized speaking to her was a waste of time and just walked away as she was still yapping at me. I went to another bank I use, Vystar, within 2 minutes they had my check printed and deposited, didn't even bat an eyelash. I came back to the branch to move most of my finances to Vystar and use them from that point on, I attempted to speak to Sue about her inappropriate behavior, but instead of apologizing, she became aggressive, confrontational and provoked me into a verbal altercation. I decided I wanted to close my account instead, and Sue, then, completely lost her mind, yelled for me to "GET OUT!", yelled at me to "SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!", and then started threatening me that if I "didn't shut my mouth, she was going to create me more trouble", and threatened me with police (lol) ...I stood my ground, refusing to leave until I had withdrawn all my money from that bank. I then told her that I will file a complaint with the corporate office, and they will be able to see our conversation and her DEPLORABLE behavior on cameras, she literally laughed at that and shouted "OUR CAMERAS DON'T HAVE MICROPHONES!" That's the explanation for this disgusting woman's behavior, no fear of repercussions, and it's a small local Ameris branch, it's very likely they are all friends, so she'll make sure her co-workers will back up her version of events, so speaking to her superior was going to be pointless. She also actually never validated my identity, as I only had my debit card, she never double-checked with me about the closure of my account, didn't get any signatures, instead, she became vindictive, took my debit card from a banker, ran off into her office and closed my account on her own. I was disrespected, verbally assaulted, and offended by the assistant manager, Sue Ferrell, at this branch, and I'm appalled that a vile trash like this woman, who allows herself to behave so reprehensibly towards people, has no control over herself, can be allowed to work and represent a bank, and hold a manager's position!! She should be medicated and locked up in a straight jacket instead.
