Tough economic times + boredom = Melissa M reviews her bank…read more Well, this isn't really "my" bank per se, but I am known to wait for the 66 bus in this lil bank ATM. My grandfather is a customer of this bank and since he's old and it's cold, I do his banking for him here once a month. It's literally a 43 second walk from my house to this bank. The people that work here are always so nice and sweet and YOUNG. I swear some of the people they employ are teenagers. Just because they are young, does not mean they are dumb. Their math skillz are far better than mine will ever be -- they don't care when I come to make a deposit in two different accounts and I have them figure out what 1/2 of the check is. I'm really bad @ math! They are open on Saturdays from 9am-3pm. That is a great thing, let me tell you! I'm glad they are still in business!

I got the turmeric ginger latte with sf vanilla added to it. It might have because of the extra vanilla but it was way too sweet. Also I think it has no coffee at all because the color is very light. But ginger and turmeric flavor are both there and strong so that was nice.

TD Bank is a criminal entity. Give them 5 years. they will be washing funds for criminals again as I predict. I am furious that no one to the best of my knowledge went to jail. Why?

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.
