    My experience here has always been positive, until today. The teller I usually see is an absolute…read moregem and deserves a raise. The teller I saw today, Drishawn, was one of the rudest teller's I've ever encountered. I asked for a withdrawal, and the entire time he is sighing and rolling his eyes at me. I asked him to repeat a question as I didn't hear him, and he shakes his head and rolls his eyes at me again. Then he tells me my math is wrong, and when I explained to him why it was correct, he huffs and tosses my cash through the glass. No goodbye, no eye contact. If you are hard of hearing and Drishawn is working, you'll have better service at the ATM. I hope my usual teller is there next time. Ill have to leave her a shout-out here next time I see her.

    Although I came from out of town to purchase a car just down the road from your location, when I…read morecame in here to withdraw some money from my account, I actually went up to a teller. I was needing $50 so I thought I couldn't use the ATMs - as most just have $20s in them. However, as the teller processed the transaction, she gently made me aware that the ATMs at this small mall-branch actually have $10s as well in them. When I got there, there weren't too many people standing in line waiting (I was the only one waiting for a teller when everyone else was at the tellers themselves). I ended up waiting there for less than 5 minutes. I don't know too much how many times they have lines (like Steve mentioned in 2015), but it sure seemed that it wasn't that way in my transaction yesterday). The transaction was rather easy, and what made it simpler and less stressful on inputting of my car details, was that these card machines (Bank of America uses their debit cards to pull up your account) accepted contactless forms such as Apple Pay (something I enjoy using and have been since my card isn't working as well these days (just waiting for the card's expiration and for the bank to send me a new one under their decision)) and Samsung/Android Pay.) I wasn't thrilled that there's only two tellers here, however - nor that the start of the line terminates at another teller window which only works the business end of processing. Perhaps simplifying the line here might work now and face it closer to the two tellers themselves. This isn't in the best location, but there is enough signage from the road mentioning there's one here, I knew it from passing it on the highway from my trips down this main-access road (Central Ave (because there are many in Albany)). But you did make some great informative moves to let me know and I love the communication of this information. Was debating whether this next information should be a Yelp tip or not: There's actually a door that leads right into Hannaford just as you enter/leave the inside of this location - something I don't generally find in many Bank of America locations. That's a definite plus in my book (never shopped this Hannaford, but I do know about it - sort-of).

Broadview/SEFCU - "we don't know why it is declined, plenty of credit, account fully paid.... but the person who can override the decline goes home at 5 pm... call us tomorrow?" Or imagine sitting in a bank branch across the desk from a bank employee who cannot call a business banker within their own bank. They are required to send an email and wait. So if you want to solve a problem, you sit together and wait for an email reply. Not kidding. Truly an awful business bank. Of course many pleasant kind people working there. Myself, I will 100% avoid this bank as much as possible.

    SEFCU cared about 'us' 20 years ago. Now, they are no different than Chase or Bank of America…read more You are just a credit score. Nothing else. There was a time, many years ago, that I would not shut up about how GREAT SEFCU was. Anyone who was looking for a bank or loan, I would speak up and recommend SEFCU. Why? Because they worked with you. Treat you like a person, not a SCORE. Look at ALL the information and not just a score. Sometimes, people have lower scores for unconventional reasons. I always used to enjoy being treated like a person whom SEFCU wanted to do business with, rather than a beggar. Those days have gone. I am now treated like a beggar, because my score is not as high as some others. When your score drops below 'Fair', SEFCU staff start treating you like you are not worthy of them. As if they are only for the elite. My, how things have changed. SUNMARK and First New York FCU are the last of the 'Old School' credit unions. By old school, I mean . .they care. They want to HELP YOU. Not just approve or decline a loan. I just got off the phone with New York FCU. They came up with a whole plan for me. To refinance my car, and consolidate all of my debt. Decreasing my monthly bills, while putting me on a path to increase my credit score. I am not just a pass/fail to NYFCU. They gave me a lot of respect, help and wanted to make my life better. Help me to increase my score and then even refinance again - in 6 months with an even better rate (They will refinance their own loans at NYFCU). THIS . . is what SEFCU used to be. Now, you only matter to SEFCU if you have a stellar credit score. Not to SEFCU: The lower credit scores and higher interest rates make you a LOT OF MONEY. My dad, with excellent. credit, pays 2% for his car. You don't make crap off of him. I had a 10% $50k car loan. You make $16k off of me. And yet - you. treat me like the plague and my dad like a hero. MATH MATH MATH.

    I have been doing my banking here for almost 12 years now and I have never looked back. Carole, the…read morebank manager, will bend over backwards to take care of all your banking needs. I have had car loans, personal loans, business loans, savings accounts, and checking accounts at Mohawk Progressive. They have great rates and no fee checking accounts as well as online banking. MPFCU is a small credit union where the member really does come first. They may not have all the latest techno services of the larger banks but they got it where it counts- and that's customer service. I remember a couple years ago my iTunes account was hacked and the thief started making several hundred dollar purchases over and over again to his fake account on iTunes that ended up totaling over $3000 dollars. Carole called me and alerted me to the activity and put a stop payment on my account before calling me. She knows me well enough to know I didn't make those purchases. That isn't the only time MPFCU has saved my skin. They have also called me to alert me a payment was clearing when I had insufficient funds in my account (Hey it happens to the beat of us) just so I could add money in time to avoid any fees or penalties. Carole and her member service reps will do the same for you. I will continue banking there for as long as I am around and you should too!

    This is the best banking institution I have ever dealt with. I use this credit union for business…read moreas well as my personal banking. Carol and her team are always there for you. I have recommended them to dozens of my customers and will continue to do so.

I went in with CORRECT commit number to have insurance check endorsed at the branch. Anthony D Wilson wrote ONE of the 8 digit of that commit number wrong and took himself off into wild goose chase for next 45min. when everything was done, I asked him what took so long? and he answered "YOU gave me A WRONG commit number", in very condescending tone. I asked him what the correct number was, and he showed me the EXACT NUMBER I came in with, which I gave him verbally as well as visually. When Anthony realized that He made a mistake from the beginning, all he said was "oh, it's on me" and that was it. NO APOLOGIES. and he just walked a way. When I started to complain that I got stuck in the branch for 45 min. on the business that should have taken less than 5 min, BECAUSE of Anthony's mistake, he tried to make me go out the building by saying "your complaining will be another 5 min" in VERY confrontational attitude. NOT HAPPY.
