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

    I've been with them for a long time, poor customer service. Often lines in branches with one…read morecashier. 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.

    NOTE REVIEW IS STRICTLY ON CITIZENS ACCESS!!!…read more After years and years of sitting all my money in checking accounts and low interest savings accounts, I finally invested $$ into a CD (I had to finally sit my ass down and study about financial investments). I went with Citizens Access because they had one of the highest rates that I have seen at 2.5% for 12 months (I would never do a CD longer than 2 years but that's just me). There were a couple other banks that were slightly hire (2.55% for example), but I found the format of their website very user friendly and simple for my feeble mind. Why 3 stars? Well apparently a feeble person like me may have made the website. After investing I read the FAQ more thoroughly to see if I would get a physical CD. I saw that they don't do it (most online banks don't), but that they have something you can print out online in your account. I did that and nothing came up so I called up CA. Guy one the phone was nice and helpful enough to walk me through the website. The directions on the website are incorrect. It gives you directions for non CD accounts lol. Another complaint is they do not respond in a timely manner when you message them through their server (it has been over a week since I messaged them and still have no response). For an online bank communication is a huge must. If the rates weren't that good, I would have probably have gone to Discover where I've had 0 problems. In a little less than a year though, I should have a decent return to go on a vacation so I'm thinking about that :) Wish I learned how to invest earlier instead of letting my money just sit there.

    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 - $3.50 per withdrawal - a transaction that, to my mind, makes me a "customer". When I waited in line (for 10 minutes, while 2 tellers helped 1 customer) to ask them to change a few of the bills, I was told "no", that "those services are reserved for 'their customers'.". %&@&*% ...which meant I had to go find a merchant in Brigham Circle who was willing to make some change for me - something most merchants are not generally very willing to do. So Citizens' cost me 25m of my lunch break first waiting in line, & then looking for a place that would make change for me. CB - if you don't consider ATM accessors "customers", don't charge us your fee$!!!

    So, lol, I decided to open an account here and get a debit card since it's close to my apartment…read moreand my closest old bank is all the way downtown. Anyway, open up the account, get the card, ok. I wait and wait for my card to come. Doesn't come. I go to the branch, and they tell me it's on it's way. I wait a few more days- no card. I go back yet again, and the girl at the counter checks to see the address they sent it to. Apparently the first clerk who set up my card put in a misspelled address. Ahh, so that's why I never got anything. She corrected the error and I got my card a couple days after. Lol
