Complete nonsense and greed. What else can you expect from a Walmart adjacent owned company.
So now we get charged for account types that used to be free? During Trumps horrible economy?
Now is when you choose to do that? Is 5 dollars nothing in the grand scheme of things? Not for me. For the majority?
Why make this decision?
Walmart is allowed to run this town, fly in people all across the country at no expense to them. I guess the little guy that owns a bank account at Arvest is the one subsidizing these little associate weeks.
Here’s the bottom line guys. A company that is willing to fleece five bucks from you in this economy right now is a company you shouldn’t do business with.
“Oh but everyone charges for bank accounts it’s not new.” Not all banks are owned and held up by the biggest retailers on the planet.
Arvest and by proxy Walmart, instead of sending out PR talking points to fix this? Fix it by making things easier for low income folks. Not harder.

I was prompted by a teller to apply for a new card. Thinking I was going to receive a decent credit limit, this was so bogus, and a waste of a hard inquiry! I wasn't happy when approved!

My wife and I have been with Arvest for many years, we both have accounts there. They have been great till beginning of June when someone got gready! Taking away free blue for everyone. It doesn't affect me at all but if I pass away she will be charged 5 dollars a month on her social security of 1000.00 there are hurting the little people who can leased afford there 60.00 a year charge. My account has deposits that meet there no charge criteria. You take 60.00 a year from the poor How crooked can you be ? You should be charging the people that can afford it not the poor. MY WIFE AND I ARE LEAVING ARVEST ! I know you don't care but 35 years down the tub !

They’re okay for a bank as long as you need nothing. But they will send things to collections years later without an ounce of contact. And their customer service is extremely hit or miss. They have cute card designs though.

Arvest recently sent out letters to checking account holders informing us of a change. The change is a $5 a month fee to have a checking account. This fee penalizes you for being poor. The only way for it to be waived is to either have a constant balance of $5k or more, or to receive $3k/month in direct deposits. So the only people who don't have to pay it, are the people that could actually afford it.

Absolute garbage company to deal with. They have had my check for over a week and are claiming they are waiting to deposit it until funds clear. I called the issuing bank and the funds were cleared the same day yet they're holding it for over a week. They'll sneak fees in on you. You can't ever get a teller from the bank location you were trying to call. Absolute worst bank I've ever dealt with even worse than Wells Fargo.

I have been lied to by multiple customer service representatives while trying to figure out why my card was closed. After several back and forth calls, I was told that I was able to get my card reactivated and now they are telling me there is no way they can do it and I was 'misinformed' and there is nothing they can do. Every call I made to them, I was told different things. They never had a cohesive answer for me. If you want a card with good customer service when something goes wrong do not choose arvest.

Arvest Bank has been really good to me. I’ve been with them many years and whenever I have an issue, they’re always happy to help me and pleasant and very courteous. I want to really make a shout out to Brittnie, who has really gone the extra mile to help us.

Arvest Bank closed my account after being with them for ten years because somebody hacked my account. They probably wanted to hack it so they could close it for whatever reason. Do not trust Arvest Bank; they are the frauds. I would not recommend anyone doing business with them.

Not sure how their ratings got so high on this website, but Arvest Bank is the worst bank I've had to deal with. They have bad organization, communication, and customer support. They made a mistake in processing the final payment on a short-term loan I had with them and due to their lack of communication and support, I ended up having to pay an extra $176.30 through accrued interest and late fees that I did not deserve. I recommend that anyone seek elsewhere for a loan or any business at all with a bank. This bank does not care about their customers; they just want their money. I only gave them the one star so that I could write this review, but they do not deserve the one star. They deserve zero stars.

This bank, particularly the one at 6300 Nall, has to be the worst. I took my father to this branch to cash his check, and the staff refused to cash his check, which was misleading. We went through an ordeal to get it cashed. These individuals do not adhere to their policy, and when questioned, they are unhelpful, fabricate excuses, act dishonestly, and treat customers as if they are not human beings. The employees at this branch, especially the manager and the branch sales manager, need to be replaced. I have never encountered anything like this in my life. If I could, I would rate it 0.

Why is Arvest unable to allow an escrow shortfall makeup payment? It's been one year since I closed on my house and received the annual escrow analysis showing a $500 shortfall. I sent a check, with an appropriate note in the memo line, for that amount. I called to confirm that the amount was applied to the escrow shortfall, but was then told that I was still $38 short and that I couldn't send a check to make up the difference in order to keep my original monthly payment. This is just baffling. I've had mortgages with Washington Mutual and Chase, and in both cases, when I received the escrow analysis, I could always send a check for the difference and keep the same monthly payment. I've talked to four people at Arvest now, and none of them seem to be able to grasp this concept. They all say that I cannot keep the same monthly payment.

This bank installed an ATM next to a vending machine in a hospital. They charge $4.00 to withdraw $20.00 of your own money. How can any company be so greedy as to charge people who are sick and in hospital care?

Horrible! Horrible! Hold for transfer, hold for transfer to Terminal Hold (super funny, right?). Christmastime is the right time to harass Arvest customers? Using up two hours of not just the customer's time, but a teller to boot! Never, ever... I do not even think this call center is in America!
