Today is September 12, 2023, and I still haven't received the funds despite numerous phone calls, a letter, pleading. You CANNOT get to a real banker from the branch you have your money in. Instead, they route you, no matter what phone number you call, to a service center. Those answering the phone are polite, incompetent and have no vested interest in you. I've done business with this bank for approximately 9 years and had no problems in the past when they had their original moniker, "Newburyport Five Cent Savings." Fast forward to a bureaucratic bloated morass of incompetence (they have something like 20-30 VP's in this organization), and here we are today with a new moniker, "Newburyport Bank - Journey Well." I would say my journey has been from he**. I can't get my money from this fraudulent bank, and I believe they never sent me my funds but, instead, and it's an old strategy of banks, they are floating the money, getting interest off of the funds and will, when they decide to, send me my money. Beware. Crooks. Liars.

When my son started to show an interest in saving money (age 3) one of the tellers gave him special booklets to save quarters with, which were quickly filled up. I brought him to the main office and they had him "fill out" the paperwork to open his first account and deposit the quarters he had saved up; it was awesome how they played it up so that he felt like a grown up... he still talks about it to this day! Excellent community bank, they are always giving back to various causes and charity events in the area!

Fully recounting my story would take far too much time and space…read more The largest picture is that getting the branch manager only got on the phone after I spent three hours seeking aid from other branches and the corporate office. Even then, she clearly strongly resisted speaking with me. This conversation occurred after she knew that two of her employees had given me scads of incorrect information and had shown a complete lack of understanding of banking by using terms such as "I think" and "probadly." By this time, I had been materially disadvantaged due to an error by the second employee. Rather then offering an easy operations solution, the manager provided a solution that required me to undergo the inconvenience of a trip o another branch solely due to the error regarding which I was entirely blameless. This is during a Covid uptick while I have an underlying condition. The manager very quickly told me that she does not speak to customers, that "too many customers want to speak to me," and that she "only works by appointment." She added that her employees are qualified to handle customer. She did not respond when I replied that that obviously was not the case. The manager further stated that she knew that I had been irate for 2.5 hours and made it cLear that she never intended to speak to me. The added injury to all these injuries is that I very justifiably spoke to the manager in an angry but not at all obscene or threatening tone. Her response was that she was going to hang up if I continued to speak to her like that. A small branch like Newburyport that has a smaller staff needs a better person at the helm. The larger and sadder truth is that this manager clearly lacks the the proper attitude to occupy the corner office at any branch but almost definitely will continue doing so either in Newburyport or another location that will need to suffer under her "leadership."

Absolutely asinine that this bank can tell me what I can and can't do with MY money, based on THEIR policies. I'm going to Turkey and mentioned while I'm there I will need to wire some money over. I stopped in a couple weeks before my trip just to see what can be done so there is no hiccup. I was told that I cannot wire money unless I'm present at the bank... And while they were trying to figure out a way to work around this, they looked up their policy on wiring money, and Turkey is one of the countries that they are not allowed to wire money to. Absolutely ridiculous that they develop these policies to protect people from themselves. I don't need protection from myself. If I am in Turkey and would like to wire money to myself versus carrying a couple thousand dollars around in cash, that is my prerogative. Now I'm being forced to potentially lose all of this cash. A couple months ago, someone from the bank told me that they developed these policies just in case I am forced to send money or have a kidnapped family member abroad. For argument sake, I turned around and looked at her and said, with all due respect, if someone kidnaps my child from another country, I'm going to wire them every penny in my bank account to get my child back, so who the hell are you to tell me "sorry you cannot wire money to get your child back"?!?! Absolute garbage!
