I'm done with this branch.
I made an appointment to add my partner to my account and open one for our 11-year-old. I called ahead and was told all I needed were two forms of ID for my wife and my child's SS#. When I showed up, they suddenly said I had to bring both my wife and my child in person.
I went home, rearranged schedules, and called back to confirm. This time they said my child did not need to come, but my wife did. When I tried to carefully confirm the requirements so I would not waste another trip, the woman on the phone was curt, dismissive, and clearly irritated that I was asking questions.
We rescheduled. My wife and I showed up and the doors were locked with a sign saying they were closed due to computer and phone issues. The same employee came to the door, gave a quick, half-hearted apology, and walked away.
I've had problems here before, but this was the last straw. I'll gladly drive the extra 15 minutes to another branch. It's a shame this Melrose location operates this way. read more
