Was a long time customer of Provident for many years. Closed account a few years back as I had moved away from my current branch. Came in today to see if I wanted to open a new account again, but started off by asking if they could break some larger bills into smaller bills ($20s into $10s) and the clerk refused to do so if I was not a customer. I informed her I was a previous customer and she checked the system and verified I was no longer a customer and promptly declined any service.
I'm not surprised as to why this branch is always so empty now. The service is horrendous and the employees seem indifferent to anyone. The new construction of and renovation of the branch is refreshing but does not negate the lack of care by the staff. Please stay away from banking with Provident. Stick to TD down the road, PNC in Greenbrook, or Capital One on 22. These branches offer customer service that actually cares about the public. Good Luck to anyone that still banks at Provident, I will certainly not be returning. read more
