I visited the BofA on Rt 114 in Peabody to make a deposit into my daughter's account. I was told…read morethat because I didn't have an account with them, they could not accept a CASH deposit. The potential for 'Money Laundering' was the explanation I was given. I could see if it was a suspicious (large) deposit, but $340. Maybe BofA should revisit their policy. They didn't even try to cross-sell me an account - which they had the perfect opportunity to. Awful service! Can you say "inconvenient?" Stick with a smaller regional or community bank if you want better service.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I scheduled an appointment for a specific service which…read moreI told the associate when scheduling. I arrive to the bank in the middle of my work day to be placed with an associate who can't even help me and tells me I need to make another appointment. When scheduling my appt I told them the purpose, so why would I need to schedule another appointment? This individual kept taking my personal documents onto the bank floor to "show their manager". No personal documentation of this nature should be floating around in this manner. Another unprofessional aspect of this interaction; I received a call confirming my appt 3 minutes before the appt. Why would you not call a day in advance or what was the point of that since I was already about to be there? Lastly, the associate continuously spoke down to me referring to me as "honey". I work in banking myself and I would never speak to a client or handle any sort of transaction in this manner. Safe to say my money will never see Bank of America again. Do yourself a favor and avoid this bank if you are looking for a professional and seamless banking experience.

So depositing cash into your account and telling them what it's for isn't good enough. They will refuse your deposit. Ridiculous. We were an account brought in from Century Bank.

As it is, I've moved a large portion of my money to a different bank that has competitive rates.

They acquired my through acquisition of Century bank. Proceeded to not inform me and wrongfully destroy my credit. Refused to undo their mistake citing internal policy I was mostly disturbed when on a recorded chat line your customer service agent told me "Its your responsibility to pay your loan and it doesn't matter if we told you or not" This is an example of the toxic culture that exists at Eastern. These predatory rules were designed and put in place by the executives. If they put as much effort into helping your customers as you did into ruining their day you would be a terrific financial services partner. I managed to make on time payments for 7 years and have excellent credit. A few months of having Eastern bank in my life turned my credit score upside down.

I was a Beverly Bank customer for decades and had nothing but good things to say about them (minus…read morethe really horrible user interface on their ATMs). Since they've been bought out by North Shore Bank, I've had a series of issues. The first was with my name, because when I opened my account back in the 1990s, I used the name I go by, not the one on my birth certificate. The next was with the software that links to my account to download transactions, which just stopped working over the summer. And now, the straw that broke the camel's back is that I keep getting locked out of my online accounts because they have poor "security" measures that mean any random person or automated attempt to log in can lock you out of your account if they don't fill in your security questions correctly. The ONLY way to unlock it is to contact customer service (instead of having some sort of reasonable backoff timeout that temporarily locks the account). They tell me that there's no way to turn this feature off, no way to whitelist certain institutions, etc. They just suggested that I stop using programs that do this (they mentioned Venmo as a common culprit, even though that's not my specific problem). This makes my account unusable.

I opened my checking/savings bank accounts here roughly 10 years ago. I've had nothing but issues…read morewith them. I've had MANY issues with overdraft fees--Charging hundreds of dollars in fees and being told there not much they can do about it--providing no options until complaints were made. Every branch offers a different level of customer service/satisfaction/expertise. They have a $1,000 maximum cap on transactions being made. I've gone out of state/country for vacations and have made local purchases for furniture, vehicle down payments etc. and had been declined because of said cap. I was told by several employees/managers that this is "their policy" and there was nothing they could do to permanently lift the cap. They only way I could get these purchases to go through was by calling them during normal business hours, having them wait on hold so they could lift the hold while the purchase was being made, then immediately reissuing the cap on my limits after hanging up our call...which I had to do on several occasions. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE JOKE! They have a 10 transaction limit on purchases within a 24 hour period--again, this is a joke! So if you're like me and make several purchases on errand shopping, getting drinks/appetizers, etc. on a weekend--start counting your swipes! or you'll be embarrassed at the grocery store like I have with the "Sorry your card has been declined" pitiful walk off shame out of the store. I have many friends/family members that have had the exact same issues and have closed there accounts as a result. Needless to say, I made the same move and closed my accounts. What a massive headache over the years!--shame on me for sticking around so long. Bank here at the risk of your own hard earned money being slowly flushed down he drain.

As of Friday everything was approved and only needed to be signed off to move forward to a closing date. Here we are Thursday 6 days of waiting and still nothing. I've called only to hear, I'll give them a call to see when. Still nothing. So much for urgency, it makes one wonder. Netsie
