Sandy Spring Bank Is A Disaster
1 stars - micarm - Wednesday, January 12, 2011 - 7:52 AM

The poster about the business account is absolutely correct.  Sandy Spring has made error after error, charged ridiculous fees and changed the interest rate on my credit card from 13 to 30 percent for no reason.  They are impossible to work with and I can not wait until it is paid off and I never have to deal with these people again.  My personal account has been closed as the staff is totally incompetent.  I have told a huge circle of friends to stay away and many already knew this.

Sandy Spring Bank Is The Worst For Small Business
1 stars - lisa208 - Saturday, January 1, 2011 - 1:51 PM

sandy spring should take their radio ads that the president of the bank does off of the air.  He blows smoke about how great their bank is for small business.  It is the worst bank for small business.  They will not loan money to them, they will not give credit lines, yet they advertise as if they are the best thing going.  Do not lie about what you are willing to do and not do.  They have become a major dissapointment for our company, and we make money and have great credit.  We cannot get away from them quick enough
