My wife and I make an appointment (such being required here) to open a checking account at this…read morebranch. I'm on hold for 13 minutes before someone takes my call, but eventually an actual voice appears and I make arrangements for 1 PM. Okay. We arrive at the proper time, and no one has any idea what we're talking about. They ultimately let my wife in, ten minutes later, after a teller is found who remembers taking my phone call. (Not that anyone apologized to either one of us.) See, they have a policy right now that only two customers at a time will be let inside, the most draconian I've seen from any local bank that has a branch open at all. For which the person I spoke to this morning did NOT trouble herself to alert me. Me, I'm left to stand in the ATM vestibule, from which a teller tries a couple times to chase me out. (It's winter outside. I'm a disabled senior citizen. If I'm forced to stand, at least I'd rather not freeze. Since, by the bye, it took over 40 minutes for my wife to open a simple bloody checking account where no physical checks are needed -- this is for online only -- was just as well.) COVID restricts us all right now, but for chrissake. Inform people of your limitations. Apologize when you screw up. Don't expect your customers' spouses to conveniently vanish when you don't want them around. This is a bad way to start a business relationship, and I'm not at all enthused. Is this representative of the bank's service?

Previous credit union was Navy Federal and deposits were always posted by 3 am on the 1st of the month. UMASSFIVE cannot do this. Worst still...they cannot do this on weekends or holidays ! I must wait till someone uploads the systems pending deposit and with Nee Years day falling on Sunday, I had resigned myself to waiting till Monday but my acct show it is pending till Tuesday the 3rd. Very antiquated business!! Also, they offer the cards in dark purple and black ink for the account number. Lol! Can't even read the card number and yes...there are times when it is needed. Since the numbers aren't raised...I don't but I can't even "feel" the numbers. Lucky it's a plastic card and not paper. The staff service is good but wait times can easily back up with only 2 tellers. This is a very small establishment for banking. They really need to automate their direct deposits system for their retired communities especially since they are so keen to sell me their other service.

When I went to the bank they said my account was frozen because of the 2 checks I deposited. Now they are saying that IRS will not clear checks for another 2 months. That will be 3 months to clear a government issued check!! I needed the money to pay car payment and insurance but to no avail.. Please if anyone is reading this DO NOT deposit your IRS refund checks in this bank if you need the money right away!! It's frustrating because it's your money and they act like it's theirs. I wouldn't be surprised if I had to hire a lawyer to solve this problem.. This bank smells like a ponzi scheme!!!

Not only did I receive horrible service when renewing, I got horrible customer service upon closing.... They charged me for taking back my own money because I wanted a check. I was told they charge $5.00 for bank checks so I asked for it to be waved and was told no so then I asked for a regular check and they wouldn't do that either. In 6 decades, living in 5 different states, I've never been charged a fee to get my own money back... Stay away... If they can not afford to wave $5.00 they must be financial hurting.

I was a first time home buyer. I chose this bank over other locals, or larger banks because the…read morevice president who handles the home loans talk to me extensively about Northampton Cooperative being all about personalized service and that I would be hand held through this crazy home buying process. Needless to say, this was not the case. After the initial meeting, I filled out the appropriate paperwork and called the VP to ask her what was next. She said nothing else was needed until I closed. Turns out, this would have been a great time to re-visit the issue of locking in a low interest rate. When I later asked her about this (at almost .5% increase in interest rate), she said that there was no way to keep details in all the open applications straight! I reminded her of our initial conversation about personalized service and hand hold and she just repeating that it was my responsibility and she could not remember all the details on all the applications. I spoke with her supervisor who was utterly unhelpful. She had very little empathy and just kept repeating that all aspects of the application were my responsibility not the VP. Even when I mentioned the personal service etc., she said that she felt the VP had provided me with personalized service! ? At the close of the loan, I was surprised to find that the bank put a hold on the loan until I had home owner insurance in place at least 7 days before closing (never mentioned to me) and then they put another hold on because I needed to pay a full year of insurance in advance. No word to me about either of these things. No word to my real estate attorney, just refusal to move forward. I would never use them again. Although Bank of American may be more corporate, at least I would have been assured of their having a check list to make sure that things moved forward in a timely manner.
