Been with the Wintrust network of banks for a few years now. I started in Chicago with Wintrust and…read morethen floated my accounts over to Palatine Bank & Trust. This isn't really the banks fault as much as it's a corporate issue / computer structure issue. Whenever I want to transact business inside I have to get Northshore Bank paperwork filled out. It adds on a minute or two of bureaucracy. I could open new and local accounts but it's a very hard task to do with direct deposit from the government. Changing government direct deposit is beyond a headache and beyond bureaucracy clogged. So I just keep using my accounts as extended network. The bankers at PB&T don't care. The PB&T bankers are some of the best people in the community. They are an always welcoming and friendly staff and always engage in the community, even if that engagement is something as simple as letting someone with anxieties about the COVID pandemic talk it out for a few minutes over the bureaucracy of a transaction. There's banks I've been to that have personnel who are cold, unwilling to talk and just want to get business done and shove the next person up to the window. There's banks that have gotten so impersonal that you walk in stick your card in a reader punch your PIN and then the "teller" gives you your money or deposits things. I won't mention the competitor name but they're a national big box bank and frankly I feel like ALL of the big box banks have gotten to a point of fully objectifying clients and treating them like nothing more than walking bags of money to transact with. PB&T some of the bankers recognize me when I walk in and greet me, other times I meet a new banker and make a new connection. But those connections only become stronger. PB&T is truly a bank that makes every effort to connect with clients, support them and overall be a friend to the client rather than just a bank. I can't say this about any other bank, historically Harris Bank pre merger had this kind of connection but since the merge they too have gone to big box bank psychology. There are few banks in the world that a person can comfortably say one of my friends happens to be my bank branch. This is one of them. I strongly recommend you move to PB&T if you are banking elsewhere. Not only is PB&T a truly client oriented bank but the entire Wintrust network puts the client first. I had an overdraft happen, I fixed it the same day and they didn't charge me a dime. I had an overdraft happen at my previous bank fixed it the same day and still got charged $45 AND got told I couldn't get a reversal done even though I fixed it the day of the overdraft. I could go on and on with reasons for you to bank with PB&T but I think the best way for you to see the bank in action is to drop in and see for yourself.

I have been a long time customer for approx 20 years. I received a call today from…read moreMetro saying a bill of $4 and some cents is coming out of my savings account today and I am $.19 short. The banker said if I didn't deposit $.19, the bank would reject my payment and I would get a $30 fee on top of that for $.19. Now I have a savings account with $250 in it at Metro and my payday is this Thursday. I asked if they could just lend me out of my savings account the $.19 to cover the short amount and in three days the money would be back. They can see I have been a long time customer with guaranteed payment every two weeks on a Thursday. Now this is my mistake my bill was short, I thought the amount of money I had left in the account covered the bill in it's entirety. I own up to this. I called Metro back and asked if they could just pull $.19 from the $250 in my saving account and put it toward the bill. The banker aggressively said "no, there's a $250 pledge on the account and we don't pay your bills for you when you're short. " I explained my two other banks have covered the amount I was short a few times (under $15) and sent a letter explaining what they did for me and also said no bank fee was assessed In them doing so As a courtesy for being a good customer. This banker angrily said "that's not true! Banks don't do that." Actually, good banks do- especially ones who put customers first. So I will be sending her a copy of the bank letters I received Just to prove her wrong on this. I asked to speak with a manager. No one would talk to me and the time to get the $.19 was down to an hour. So I had to drive 45 mins to get to the bank to deposit my $.19. This bank looks down on you for being poor. Ive dealt with this bank for years. This is not the first time they've been rude to me. I never wrote a review, because I just felt like maybe the staff member had a bad day, but this seems to be an ongoing thing and today's situation was the final straw. This bank was used for just a savings account and a credit card, which was given to me when I started working at my job. I will be changing careers soon and will be closing all my accounts with Metro soon. If this bank won't help me with $.19, when the money is in my savings account, what makes you think they will help you? Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere where customers are put first and not looked down upon.
