So I waited in line at the counter and asked what was going on and he said Silvia would be 20 minutes or so. I said why didn't she just come out and tell me so I could decide to stay or leave. I didn't need this document today. It was really lame. Anyhow, if you didn't know so already terrible customer service. This bank is a shell of what it used to be. Bank online if you can. Sad. And Silvia honestly couldn't care less about me or my needs or at least pretend to care. I'd give zero stars if I could. Seriously people!

This brand new Banknorth Brighton branch is the best!…read more As mentioned, it is spanking new and clean. The staff are unbelievably personal and friendly. I am almost always greeted by my first name. And yes they have candy at the counter. Not just those dumb lollipops either. When I inquired about investing my tax returns (Note; Brunette Barbie here, I know absolutely NOTHING about investments, saving, stocks...) their financial advisor (Kevin Daley) took me under his wing and explained things in a manner that was easy to understand and easy for me to get started! Basically I just wrote Banknorth a check and they did the rest haha. Don't ask me how my investments are doing but I trust them enough to know my money is better off in their hands than burning a hole in my pocket. But again, helpful staff, and very professional. And the branch hours are AWESOME: Mon-Fri 8-7; Sat 8-3. My only gripe: No drive up banking, and no parking lot. I usually ride my bike, parallel park on Washington, or park in the police station parking lot across the street. Happy banking!

THING. since this has happened exacerbating my problems & headaches & costing me more money. They said they would allow certain automatic payments to post that I allowed-- they never even notated my account about it! I go in person-- tell them the same thing & they agree to let certain payments go through-- then they sent them back. I got charged fees on all ends from all kinds of companies it has been an absolute NIGHTMARE. I spoke with Brian from customer service who told me to contact him personally if there were any more issues. Well I have been trying to get in touch with him ever since- I keep being told he is not in or he will call me back and he never does. Rockland Trust isn't going to magically put money into your account to cover the fees that you're charged from other companies from them dropping the ball. It's oops and sorry now you eat it. I literally can only deal with so much in a day because there are only so many hours & I can only handle so much. I cry every day I have to deal with this. And it just never ends. This was almost two months ago & I am still dealing with this constantly. I would switch banks now but I AM NOT GOING THROUGH THIS AGAIN SWITCHING EVERYTHING OVER! But you can prevent this by going to another bank now.

Very polite and when he noticed that the documents were related to my father's passing, he expressed his condolences. I needed more documents notarized a couple of moments later and the woman who helped me (I believe she was the branch manager) showed the same level of professionalism. I'm not ready to switch (or add) a bank yet, but when I do, rockland trust is going to be it!

Not only did he put the vacation dates on my card he figured out what was wrong with my primary checking account and printed me a new card I tried it at the ATM and WA LA success :) Not only did Ryan help with my vacation request and fix my card he followed up via email with instructions on how I can sent vacation request through the app. Ryan went above and beyond; I want to make sure he gets the recognition he deserves.

So, I live in Boston, was looking for where I would open a new bank account, was walking through…read morethe North End, and found the Century Bank there. I used their ATM, paid the $3 fee to take out money, wanting to get a coffee after I was done! and then went inside intent to open a new account, but first walked up to the teller window to ask if they could break one of my $20's. They refused. They said, "we can't break bills nor give you change unless you have an account here." The people behind the teller window then started laughing. I told them I just paid them $3, at the least I was entitled to break a $20 there. He said, "it's against bank policy I cannot do it." I replied, "you can do it, you're just choosing not to." He said, "nope, can't do it for you." I told him it was ridiculous, a stupid policy, and he was being a jerk for being snarky and laughing at me when I was about to open up an account with them. I turned to leave and the tellers behind the counter all chimed in, sarcastic tone, "byyyyyyyyeeeee!!!!!!" I told them to "F***k Off," a justified reply to their insults and sarcasm and dumb policies. I will never open an account with them, do business with them, nor use an ATM with them. Terrible business model.

It is unfortunate that a credit union bearing Harvard's name has such low quality customer service…read moreand credit card services. When their service representatives can't resolve an issue, they often resort to "someone will get back to you in 1-2 business days." I've had this happen to me several times and I have sometimes missed callbacks (other times I'm not sure if they actually called me back). This is very inconvenient and frustrating and should not be part of their standard business operation. Recently, I did a balance transfer online after speaking with a person on the phone to confirm the terms for balance transferring. When I received my statement two weeks later, I saw that they charged me additional interest on top of the transfer fee. They categorized the transfer as a "cash advance" and they are charging me the high monthly interest. When I called in, they agreed with me that this was an error but they could not resolve the issue. They, instead, directed me to their Member Services Dept and I was told that they would get back to me in 1-2 days... I would not recommend this card. Their customer service department is unpleasant to deal with. Their website is clunky... If they are serious about enhancing their company (as it seems they are trying to do from their efforts via newsletters and revamping their website), they need to focus on quality customer service and make having this alumni credit card meaningful and beneficial.
