From a visit on 12/14/2018 in the afternoon, Extremely rude and unprofessional. Had to stop in at the branch for a bank check for a closing, this is not my typical branch, I am a personal as well as a commercial customer at Trustco with multiple accounts. The tellers were absurdly rude, comments, snotty attitude, acted like I was putting them out by asking for a bank check.
I asked if they could waive the bank check fee and the teller advised that no, she would not. The manager also declined to waive the $6 fee because in her words, "We did not receive any of the forms to waive a fee this week, I need a form and they didn't send us any". Really, a branch manager cannot waive a $6 fee without a form? I can understand a bank not wanting to waive fees, I recognize it is a courtesy and cannot be an expectation, but the nasty attitude is what I can do without.
While I was waiting for the manager to sign the check (15 minutes waiting) I was able observe two tellers interacting with several other customers as well as the manager interacting with a customer.
I have never seen a teller treat several customers in a row this badly from a simple check cashing to a deposit, both tellers were equally disappointing. Rude to the point that a person cashing a ~$100 check was told she could not be provided any $10 bills because the teller "doesn't have any in my drawer". The customer asked if she could get $10's from another teller and the teller waiting on her said "No, that her money and I already started the transaction".
Well Trustco, your rude manager and attitude has cost you significant business. I just re-papered two real estate deals and moved them to another local bank, you just lost two major accounts you didn't even know you had. This was a major hassle for me and a small cost up front, but money goes where it is treated best!!!! read more
