One Star Is Too Many.
- Jefe111 - Friday, January 14, 2011 - 1:56 PMThey just took over Chittenden Bank (New England area), luckly enough they did not fire the original employees at my branches or this place would have no stars. They have changed all of the policies and now charge for everything. I can not even view online breakdowns of any transaction (once able to with CB) without a surcharge. They raised the minimum balance from $100 dollars to $750 - COME ON. YES, I am changing banks today.

Service Is Comparable To Other Banks Out There; You Can Do Better On Deposit Rates
- mac2010 - Saturday, September 25, 2010 - 10:05 PMPeople's tries to say that they can have low deposit rates because of service. That is not true and they have typical bank service and everything that requires a CSR tends to take at least 45 minutes. They have been taking over bank after bank and lowering the deposit rates. I hope that people are following and closing their accounts.

Good People At Peoples
- DanR - Thursday, May 26, 2011 - 6:10 PMPeople's Bank is a convenience bank located throughout the Northeast. I started banking with them (checking and savings) five years ago when I started college. It has been nothing but your average bank with average accounts. The interest is what you gather is comparable with any other bank in the nation, and the fees they charge per account (nothing for me because I hold the minimum requirements) are in line as well. This bank has the upper hand when it comes to availability. They are open seven days a week which makes getting to the bank easy as pie. Their hours are longer during the week; they close at 7PM Monday through Friday, so swinging by after work is still an option. I have been to roughly a half dozen or so locations to cash checks, get to an ATM, etc. and I have yet to have a problem with their staff. People's has my business and will continue for years to come.

INTEREST RATE POSTING AND SERVICE
About half a year ago PUB took over a fantastic bank, Danversbank. The service was excellent and the rewards checking was a nice account. When they lowered rates they would let you know in advance. Now unfortunately, the customer service over the phone is not the same. I understand that they did not have a rewards checking and that they appear to be phasing it out. They do not provide a heads up on the rates lowering. You unfortunately find it out when you see your interest posted. They should at least have the courtesy like the other rewards banks I have worked with to give you a heads up prior to the next months posting. I have asked if they would send an email at the beginning of the monthly interest period if the rates are going to be lowered or at a different rate but they said they do not have to. I wish them well but I expect to look for a more family oriented bank in the near future.
