  Bought out my bank and I'm already unhappy with them. My bank started charging me $2 for printed, mailed statements which had been free when they said they were now First Interstate last February. First interstate employee last winter told me the only way to avoid this was to go to their website and register for online e-statements. First Interstate employee yesterday that I talked to in person said that they weren't actually the bank till this May and that the cost of the statements I've been having charged to my account for the last 4 or 5 months wasn't their fault because I am eligible for free mailed statements. Also they sent out a brochure that talked about the changes and totally neglected to mention what to do about direct deposits, just about online bill pay. I called and spent over 40 minutes on hold, someone finally answered and then disconnected the phone call. I had to go to the downtown main office and talk to someone in person about this. I also have over 3 1/2 boxes of checks that I bought last fall that are going to become useless as of December. I'd just ordered new checks, enough to easily last decades since I rarely write them anymore, and I had enough spare money to put in a large order for once. And now I have to start over. Their westside branch is far more inconvenient than the one that was in Family Fare, and to get home I have to turn across two lanes of traffic going the opposite way no matter which exit I use. I liked Great Western Bank which they bought out. I am already unhappy enough with First Interstate that I am seriously considering closing my account and finding a different place to bank with.

  I work for a company that holds a significant number of high yield accounts at this bank and due to circumstances right now, I have had to cash my payroll check here instead of my normal bank. After 1 payroll check, they have now begun to charge $10.00 to cash payroll check here drawn on their bank simply because I do not hold a personal account there. This is not a way to impress anyone including the businesses you serve.
