When I first came to Buffalo as a business owner I was advised to use a different bank. My first…read moremeeting with them left a terrible taste. I then met with Jackie at Bank West. My business account was opened at Bank West. In the intervening 9 years I have moved my personal accounts, my other business banks, and credit card operations to Bank West. I've been in charge of the day to day banking of my and my families business since the mid 1980's. Many banks have come and gone. One stands out. That is Bank West The service level is un-matched. The staff is strong and has experience in depth. They make a habit of saying 'lets see if we can get that done' instead of quoting from a policy manual of why it can't be done. My wife and I are smart consumers who have spent 25 years studiously saving and spent frugally We understand 'needs' and 'wants'. Three times in this economic downturn we have been able to take further steps to our long term financial dreams. You know, the kind of plans that take decades to build. Each time Bank West has been our partner in our pursuits. Can you say the following? "Our hard work and savings combined with our bank are making our DREAMS come true". I can. And we're doing it with Bank West.

I'm a small business owner and decided to seek a business relationship with this bank. I completed…read morethe request for contact form on their website over 2 months ago and haven't received a call or any contact back. I realize that not all banks are lending money right now, but the very least that they could do is return a call or email. I can call the big banks and at least have someone pick up the phone.

We should have realized right off that this wasn't going to be a good choice. The person who tried…read moreto set up our account misspelled my wife's name, which meant that it didn't match up to the SSN given, which meant a snafu on setting up an account. After finally getting that mess straightened out, we were able to open a checking account. Fast forward six months: needed some cash, so went into the bank and told a cashier I needed $300 in cash. She had to scrounge around in two different tills and then go into a back room to scrape up enough money to give me, some of which was in $5 denominations. What sort of bank has no cash on hand? Fast forward a year: In attempting to close another account, we've been transferring money into our account at Midwest. I had my other bank send me a fairly large check, which I intended to deposit at Midwest. Went over there today, a Friday, only to have the rather sleepy-looking cashier tell me that both managers were off for the weekend (!), and that he was the only employee in the bank and so couldn't help me (!!). WTF? We will be closing this account and going somewhere where customer service is still a priority. The very substantial amount of cash from our home sale will also be going elsewhere. AVOID THIS PLACE.

I would pay it off and then get right back into bad financial habits, which I brought with me into my marriage. I finally fit rock bottom and knew things were out of control, so I called Kaitlyn. We started working together in fall 2018 and within the first two months she had taught me how to make, use, and stick with a budget. She helped me trim the fat and talked me through a lot of healthy changes. After that, we started working at debt. By the time we had been working together for 5 months, a huge chunk of my debt was gone, and I am on pace to be consumer debt free by the end of the summer - less than a year after we started working together. I cannot recommend Kaitlyn enough. She has been a godsend to my family.
