Peoples "Trust?". I'm not sure the word trust fits in their name. It seems as if they view it as a one-way street. You should trust them, but they don't trust you. I guess I'm a little bit old school and like to keep a secondary financial resource. I went in wanting to open a second bank account and all was going well until they checked my background and unbeknown to me, there was a ding in my history from an old student bank account I had opened over 20 years prior with another bank. It was a free student account that I used in college for school expenses and never used again after I had graduated. The account had become dormant and forgotten and I guess when the bank eventually closed it, it left a ding on my history. For some reason, Peoples Trust had issues with that, despite me going to the original bank getting an official letter clearing up the issue. They had to go in another office to have a private discussion and I was able to overhear what sounded like a pretty condescending conversation about me on whether to allow me to open an account. After some time, they came back and said they were willing to proceed but with all sorts of conditions and limitations, one being that they would not allow me to have a debit card for several months. Basically, I could deposit money but would have a hard time accessing it. What's the point? They treated me as if I was some kind of major risk to the bank. You'd have thought I went in asking to borrow a few million. I simply just wanted another resource to deposit my earnings. How is that a problem? Seems like they have some "trust" issues of their own. Basically, I decided right then and there it was a no go, and I couldn't trust them with my money and therefore will never consider them in the future. I believe their name is nothing, but a falsehood based on what I experienced. read more
