    Boston Private Bank had by far the lowest interests rates no hidden fees and was great in doing business with and getting my mortgage.

Got the iced blueberry matcha latte and would recommend! Clean bathrooms, clean workspace, great drinks. 50% off drinks if you pay with your capital one card too.

We walked into a clean, modern design with plenty of seating, making it feel more spacious than a typical coffee shop. The layout is open and inviting, with a mix of tables, communal seating, and lounge areas that accommodate both quick stops and longer visits. Even if you are not visiting for banking services, it works well as a quiet place to relax or meet up with someone, and the energy of the room stays calm and focused throughout the day. The biggest perk is the discount for Capital One cardholders, which makes the drinks a much better value than many other cafés nearby. The menu includes espresso drinks, teas, refreshers, and a small selection of pastries and sandwiches. We found the coffee to be perfectly decent, but nothing that really stood out compared to Boston's specialty coffee shops. It gets the job done, especially with the discount, but it is not a destination for the coffee alone. The pastries and sandwiches are standard café fare, fine for a quick bite but not memorable. The atmosphere is one of the stronger parts of the experience. There is plenty of seating, the space is bright and well maintained, and it is a comfortable spot for studying, working, or having a casual meeting. The staff were friendly and the service was efficient, making it easy to stop in even during busier times. The seating area stays comfortable even when the café fills up, and the availability of outlets and Wi-Fi makes it practical for longer work sessions. If you have a Capital One card, the discount makes this an easy place to recommend since it offers good value in an area where coffee can be expensive. Without the discount, the drinks feel more average for the price, especially with so many excellent independent cafés nearby. The value and atmosphere are what make this café stand out more than the drinks themselves, offering a comfortable, functional stop that works well for a quick coffee break, a work session, or a meeting.

They do not adjust accounts automatically if you have good deposits and high credit ratings, it is up to you to ask and then rates can move down as much as 5%. Charges on accounts when added up are high. Applying for a home loan through them is a nightmare. I worked through a pleasant man at the Belmont branch who gave three different outcomes at three different times, which meant he kept missing that I wanted to put 20% down and kept noting just 10% on the pre-approval. Also said it the approval would be good for three months but then only noted one month on it, I had to keep asking for corrections. My realtor frowned when I said I had a BoA pre-approval - they'll make you jump through hoops, he warned. Sadly, he was right. I'm moving my accounts, there has to be better service elsewhere.

    There's plenty of room to disagree about whether BofA is a good deal. Some people may be better…read moreserved by an online bank with no retail presence, with lower fees. I sort of wish that was me. But with all my electronic transfers linked to BofA, it's a pain to leave. And so where do you go if you need a reliable BofA branch that's not too busy, where a cashier has time to help or a manager is available without an appointment? This is the branch for you! I go out of my way to come here because I can get my problem solved on the first try and without an appointment. Means a lot. A sign says this branch is closing August 15. Probably BofA's computers said this branch doesn't do enough business to justify staying open. Maybe, by their calculation, but that's exactly what makes it so useful for customers. A disappointment to see them go.

    I wish I could say something nice. I'm sure the bank provides perfectly good service for "their…read morecustomers", but it's the "their customers" part that prompts me to write this one-star review. I used the Citizens' Bank ATM (inside the bank) in Brigham Circle and made 3 withdrawals (3 because of limitations per withdrawal). So my 5 minutes at their kiosk made them $11.50 in fees - $3.50 per withdrawal - a transaction that, to my mind, makes me a "customer". When I waited in line (for 10 minutes, while 2 tellers helped 1 customer) to ask them to change a few of the bills, I was told "no", that "those services are reserved for 'their customers'.". %&@&*% ...which meant I had to go find a merchant in Brigham Circle who was willing to make some change for me - something most merchants are not generally very willing to do. So Citizens' cost me 25m of my lunch break first waiting in line, & then looking for a place that would make change for me. CB - if you don't consider ATM accessors "customers", don't charge us your fee$!!!

    Rude and dishonest bank employees at the Citizen's Bank left me stranded without access to my own…read moreaccount. While keying in a transaction at the Citizen's Bank at 1 Brigham Plaza in Boston near 5 p.m., employees eager to leave shut off power to lights inside--as well as to their ATM. My card disappeared and the ATM stayed inoperative. A teller who was in the ATM lobby watched this happen and said "not again--we need to put a sign on it." I asked her what to do, she said she'd get help, re-entered the now-locked bank with a key, then left by the back entrance. After much pounding and waving, a man standing 30 feet from the door and talking with other employees finally came to the ATM lobby. I explained the situation and he told me "if you put the card in wrong 3 times, it won't return it and we can't get in there." I told him that wasn't what had happened. He said there's nothing he could do and repeated his line about misusing the card 3 times in a row--essentially accusing me of lying. "There's nothing I can do" is how this gentleman--who claimed to be the branch manager--left it before giving me an undoubtedly fake name and locking the door. Don't use Citizen's Bank, especially this one staffed with dishonest, unhelpful people.
