Flushing Bank

Flushing Bank Is Responsive, Reliable And Nice Customer Service

I got fed up with the big banks - increasing their fees and reducing their service. They used to have personal bankers but all got cut. It took nearly three weeks for them to acknowledge receiving a fax from me and I just had enough. 

Flushing is great. Local branches, huge ATM network so no fees even if I'm travelling. Nice to deal with on the phone. Good rates. Fair policies. Haven't had an outage (unlike the other ones I can mention). 

May not spend $$$$ on fancy advertising, but they're just a good, reliable bank.

I have been a loyal customer since 1973 - ran at least a million through their hands.  Put several hundred thousand in IRA CD’s paying 2% (wow golly) 2 years ago- upon maturity this month, l I asked, in an effort to be loyal,  if they had any rates above 1% - advised could get 1.5% at another institution – could they match? But other than a John trying to pitch the same old annuity dong they had a zero competitive CD offering.  So. I advised the folks at the Bayside branch they should expect authorization to transfer all but around 35k (which I still hoped would find some offering from FSB - still trying to be loyal) to another institution.  They did 2 transactions which involved a signature, check and a licked envelope and promptly charged me $25 each.  Considering the **** poor rates and non-existent service they offered - I found this offensive. Spoke to John Buran's office (CEO) –tons of  lip service - got my branch rep – agreed they should have waived but powerless - finally got a call from a very rude  Donna Fluddy from the Bayside branch ....who I later found out was an administrative assistant (that’s a secretary folks) – guess the branch manager was very  busy doing something.  She quickly  advised ALL banks charge a fee for an institution to institution transfer – WRONG -  I advised I have never been charged - Capital 1, Ridgewood, Bank of America and Fidelity to name a few....again lots of lip service so .....BUYER BEWARE - since at some point you will probably need to move money from this bank and it is much more desirable to do a bank to bank transfer - they will hit you up for money – calling it a FEE - -  Translation - $25 for taking your money out of their Bank – they don’t like that - sort of a penalty you don’t deserve - they forgot you kept a ton of cash for them to use while they paid you less than inflation.

 

Remember when Banks actually cared about customers?  FSB is the reason we despise Banks and Bankers

 

I wish I could rate them less than 1 star

I have business account with Flushingbank over 6 months. Last deposit check is a large check . However they did not let me withdrawn my own money because i had an over draft before. They told me that is federal law. OK i came back and call my friend work for FDIC asking this problem. There is no such that thing that they can hold my money 30 days , not even 9 days . No matter what reason, no bank can hold your money over 7 days. I called the main office and they don't know why too, they never can give me a good reason, but they cannot solve the problem ???

I don't know what going on in their system but now i know why they are small bank and no one come to do business with them, including me. I told them i gonna close my account they said good, i don't need you. Well they don't need me that's fine. But give back my money, that is MY MONEY, NOT THEIR.

DID YOU SEE ANY BANK WOULDNT LET CLIENT WITHDRAW THEIR OWN MONEY BY A REASON THEY MAKE UP WITH , WHAT A BIG LIAR!!!!!!

A wake up call for anyone already doing business with them and if you want to open account with them:  DON'T EVER DOTHAT. I gonna withdrawn all my money and just leave them as far as i can.
