And I opened the account simply for convenience as the branches are spaced across the South Shore where I frequent. The best thing I have experienced here is the customer service. Friendly, professional people help you out with whatever services you may need. No one turns their head, pretending to not see you! This makes it easy to get in & get out, particularly during the pandemic. At my local branch, the interior is still locked with the lobby ATM open. Twice now, while paused in what I was doing, bank personnel have opened the door to see if I needed assistance (i did). Just opened the door without me banging on it! Like - I was a customer who needed help! The ATM gives $10 bills, the employees are helpful & courteous and they give a decent rate of interest. My short wish list is checked off at CHB!

My Rockland Trust debit card information was stolen and used by someone in another state to make a…read morepurchase of nearly $1,000.00 I was sent a text message from Rockland Trust on that day asking me if I made this purchase, to which I replied "NO", and the card was subsequently frozen and my account was given a provisional credit for that $1,000.00 fraudulent purchase. Fast forward 3 months later, and the provisional credit I had been given was then RESCINDED by Rockland Trust, and I was told they had been given "proof" by the merchant where the fraudulent transaction occurred that it was not fraudulent, despite the fact that the bank itself CONTACTED me that day when the purchase was made as they suspected it to be fraudulent. Now Rockland Trust is telling me there is "nothing more we can do", despite having already being able to provide me a credit for the fraudulent purchase that they TOLD me about the moment it happened. I will very likely be taking my business elsewhere entirely and never banking here again because of this complete failure, on Rockland Trust's part, to protect me and my financial security despite every indication and piece of evidence they had to do so.

I recently switched to Arise Federal Credit Union after many years with my previous bank, and so…read morefar I've been very happy with the experience. When making the switch, I essentially mirrored the accounts I had at my previous bank and set everything up with Arise. I enrolled in online banking, set up direct deposit, bill pay, automated transfers, and the other services I regularly use. Everything has been working well, and the transition was much easier than I expected. The main reason I decided to switch was convenience. My previous bank was located in Cambridge, which is no longer convenient for me. Before making a change, I spent some time researching local banks and credit unions and ultimately landed on Arise. Their competitive high-yield rates were also a big factor in my decision. I'm a huge advocate of online banking and do the vast majority of my banking digitally, so the online experience is especially important to me. The current platform has been working well for what I need, and I'm particularly interested to see the new digital banking platform Arise is planning to roll out this fall. From what they've announced, it sounds like they're making a significant investment in improving the online and mobile banking experience, which I'm looking forward to. So far, I'm very pleased with the move. The combination of convenient locations, competitive rates, and the banking features I need has made Arise a great fit for me. I'm giving Arise four stars for now simply because I'm still a relatively new member and would like to spend more time with them before giving a full five-star rating. I'm also looking forward to seeing how the new digital banking platform turns out. If my experience continues the way it has so far, I could certainly see myself updating this to five stars down the road.

Unlimited i was happy and surprised to hear. So, because it was over the $250k limit insured by FDIC, i though i better link it to another outside account. I tried 2. But it didnt work. Iasked for a check in could deposit in another bank until the linking worked. The other bank said this will take days to clear. So i went back to South Shore Bank to ask for the cash i could walk to the other bank with. First they called one of the linked banks. That bank said, we cannot link to that bank. Called the other, same story. South Shore offered a free wire transfer normally $25. As it turned out their maximum daily limit was $5k if i were able to get it out. I decided to take much more out because of mistrust. Then they wrote me a letter saying they couldnt take me as a customer. They said they mailed the chec on a holiday weekend. So there many days i did not receive interest. On the next Tuesday, they called to say come pick up the check for the remainder. More days, no interest. I just wanted to warn people because with the new bank failures, i wonder who that money goes to. Friends of friends. The big red flag went up when the representative said unlimited withdrawals. She later said she meant if i use $25 wire transfers.
