Not A Good Small Business Bank

Sandy Spring Bank (1 stars)
I agree with Worst bank for small businesses like the other reviewer.  Hours have changed so it is difficult to make deposits before you op[en for business and they now close earlier to it is difficult to make deposits when you close your business for the day. Their overdraft fees are rediculous. If you apply for overdraft protection, you will need to read a book to apply. My credit is good, but what a pain.  My business landlord went to Sandy Spring Bank and cashed his rent check at the teller. This was a large check and the funds were available in my account when he did this.  The next day I was charged an overdraft fee on that check he cashed.  When I called the bank about this I was told that later that night another check came in which caused that fee.  I explained that if the funds were in the account when the teller cashed the check I should not be charged a fee for overdraft.  They refused to refund the fee. My husband has overdraft protection and they still charge him fees. He has called numerous times before that was corrected. Time to find another bank that cares about their customers.
