One reason I could not do a search for my entire state, is that their search feature ONLY searches within 50 miles of a zip code, not a state search.
Surely I mistakenly thought, they must have a branch up in Northern Virginia, the Washington DC area…or hey, how about Richmond, VA – one of the few Federal Reserve Bank locations. NOPE!!!
SO…
You need to actually RESIDE IN a state served by US Bank.
BTW, US Bank is ONLY in 25 or so states…so, in reality, their name should be “1/2 US Bank”.
What a waste of time…and going round and round with failed applications and letters only to be finally told, when no one could figure out what I was not getting approved, that being in the state of Virginia meant that I could NOT get a US Bank account…again, because they are ONLY in 1/2 the states of the United States!
