The First Commonwealth Bank in my area is hands down one of the best banking experiences I have ever had. Friendly greetings by name whenever I call or enter the bank. Personal attention to my financial growth needs and strategies. I am shocked to read the past negative comments (I wish they all knew the folks at my branch).
I've been with First Commonwealth Bank for a long while now. I've used their personal banking where I have both a checkings account which is known as the hometown checking account and the savings account. I had mostly opened up my account online than at a branch but I do believe that the customer service is quite helpful when you're dealing with any problems regarding the account. They also offer student checking as well. The hometown checking does not need a minimum amount deposit to open and there's not a minimum balance to keep but there is a $2 maintenance fee which can be waived. I would definitely recommend this bank as there is not a lot of fees compared to many local, big brand banks.
This bank is not very personal. The tellers were very corporate like in response, not helpful or flexible in anyway. I have closed my account, I would never deal with them.
Wife and I had accounts here and she started finding fraudulent charges on her debit card, she contacted the bank and was told to go in and close the account out and the charges would be investigated for a refund.
She went to the bank with our daughter , explained to them what was going on and what she was instructed to do, and so they closed out the account.
A couple of weeks later we started to receive statements with more fraudulent charges from several different states, I tried to contact the bank but the woman they said we needed to talk to was never available, and so they started to add on their DAILY rip off charges for in sufficient funds on an account that was CLOSED, and did this for several weeks, then turned it over to a collection account.
our other bank, monitors your accounts and have contacted us if something looks fraudulent, apparently First Commonripoff doesn't do this since they probably make a bundle charging daily fees.
