I was referred to Andrew Monticone out of the Needham branch, through the whole process. Not only did he work step by step and helped me to find the best way for me and my family to get this done quickly and without any delays. He was very good at keeping me informed of what is going on and what to expect next. Communication was terrific and understandable all through this. Even though I dealt with Leader bank in Needham I visited the Seaport branch to open my accounts. In both cases I well pleased with the service and the people that work for this Bank. I wanted to use a small bank just because I knew I wouldn't be just a number in line. And I strongly believe that even if Leader Bank grows to a large bank the service and kindness I received will not change. I would love to thank Andrew and leader bank community for a great job and the compassion on which the showed me and my family. God bless you all. Nelson Vargas.
