I'm on hold for 13 minutes before someone takes my call, but eventually an actual voice appears and I make arrangements for 1 PM. Okay. We arrive at the proper time, and no one has any idea what we're talking about. They ultimately let my wife in, ten minutes later, after a teller is found who remembers taking my phone call. (Not that anyone apologized to either one of us.) See, they have a policy right now that only two customers at a time will be let inside, the most draconian I've seen from any local bank that has a branch open at all. For which the person I spoke to this morning did NOT trouble herself to alert me. Me, I'm left to stand in the ATM vestibule, from which a teller tries a couple times to chase me out. (It's winter outside. I'm a disabled senior citizen. If I'm forced to stand, at least I'd rather not freeze. Since, by the bye, it took over 40 minutes for my wife to open a simple bloody checking account where no physical checks are needed -- this is for online only -- was just as well.) COVID restricts us all right now, but for chrissake. Inform people of your limitations. Apologize when you screw up. Don't expect your customers' spouses to conveniently vanish when you don't want them around. This is a bad way to start a business relationship, and I'm not at all enthused. Is this representative of the bank's service?

Previous credit union was Navy Federal and deposits were always posted by 3 am on the 1st of the month. UMASSFIVE cannot do this. Worst still...they cannot do this on weekends or holidays ! I must wait till someone uploads the systems pending deposit and with Nee Years day falling on Sunday, I had resigned myself to waiting till Monday but my acct show it is pending till Tuesday the 3rd. Very antiquated business!! Also, they offer the cards in dark purple and black ink for the account number. Lol! Can't even read the card number and yes...there are times when it is needed. Since the numbers aren't raised...I don't but I can't even "feel" the numbers. Lucky it's a plastic card and not paper. The staff service is good but wait times can easily back up with only 2 tellers. This is a very small establishment for banking. They really need to automate their direct deposits system for their retired communities especially since they are so keen to sell me their other service.

The representatives one reaches on the toll free lines are an entirely different matter. Examples: suddenly finding you can't make an international ATM withdrawal. First, at your expense, you have to call customer service, wait indefinitely having the infuriating mantra, "America's most convenient bank" poured into your ear over and over again. Then, when someone finally answers, to be told in the way someone might speak to an especially stupid child, "Sir, the problem is that you don't have enough money in your account to cover the withdrawal," then, when I point out that the withdrawal is for $200 and that there is more than $5000 in the account, the answer is "Oh." No apology. (TD Bank will be quick to say that one can call them collect. No one in Southeast Asia uses land lines anymore. So, an empty offer.) But that was some time back. Most recently, I suddenly found that I was being charged a substantial fee for each international ATM withdrawal (I live abroad five months of the year.) I called TD. The person I spoke with said, "Those fees will be refunded to you at the end of the month. But I will refund them immediately now." Which she did. I withdrew more money. More fees. Called TD again. Once again, having to listen ad nauseam to how convenient TD is. The person who answered said, "As of February 15, TD will charge for all international withdrawals." I told the agent what the previous agent had told me. She said, "That's incorrect." I asked for ny fees to be refunded again since I had been given the wrong information. "I'm sorry Sir. They were refunded once. We can't do it again." I then had a long exchange of messages with customer service. They told me that they wanted to have a conversation with me to comfortably resolve the problem. When the conversation occurred, there was no resolution of any sort offered. It was take it or leave it. Add to all this that TD canceled my credit card because I didn't use it often enough. I have several other cards. No other bank has ever done that. So, I'm leaving it. Good bye!!

See, my wife's state ID had expired. And with the RMVs closed because of COVID, she can't get a new one. Happily, Massachusetts has extended the deadline to get a new one well into next year. Unhappily, neither state law nor the constraints COVID has placed continent-wide seem to have made any impression on TD Bank's computer, which would not accept her ID. So she calls her manager, whom we can hear over the phone saying that an insurance card or SS card would do. Fair enough, she hangs up, and my wife hauls those out. But they don't have pictures!! Well, no, since when do they ever, and besides, my wife's picture is on that state ID card which you're looking at, if you absolutely need to have a piece of plastic with my wife's face on it. But that's expired!!! Whereupon we walk out. One would think that TD Bank, many months ago, would have put contingency policies in place to deal with a pandemic that's not going away any time soon, especially in conformance with the laws of states in which they do business. Hey, they might even have given their managers the ability to make judgment calls! Apparently not. There are many other banks in town, and one duly opened an account for us with minimal fuss. Don't bother with Toronto Dominion.

Needless to say, this was not the case. After the initial meeting, I filled out the appropriate paperwork and called the VP to ask her what was next. She said nothing else was needed until I closed. Turns out, this would have been a great time to re-visit the issue of locking in a low interest rate. When I later asked her about this (at almost .5% increase in interest rate), she said that there was no way to keep details in all the open applications straight! I reminded her of our initial conversation about personalized service and hand hold and she just repeating that it was my responsibility and she could not remember all the details on all the applications. I spoke with her supervisor who was utterly unhelpful. She had very little empathy and just kept repeating that all aspects of the application were my responsibility not the VP. Even when I mentioned the personal service etc., she said that she felt the VP had provided me with personalized service! ? At the close of the loan, I was surprised to find that the bank put a hold on the loan until I had home owner insurance in place at least 7 days before closing (never mentioned to me) and then they put another hold on because I needed to pay a full year of insurance in advance. No word to me about either of these things. No word to my real estate attorney, just refusal to move forward. I would never use them again. Although Bank of American may be more corporate, at least I would have been assured of their having a check list to make sure that things moved forward in a timely manner.
