First National - A Friendly Hometown Bank

Posted by: matthewlester | Jan 15, 2018

All of my experiences at First National Bank of Scotia have been positive. They have several locations around the Capital Region, and in each of their locations that I have visited, all bank employees have been exceedingly helpful. I have never had any issues making deposits or withdrawing from my checking and savings accounts that I have with them, and their interest rates are competitive. In particular, their Young Savers Account, which requires a $50 minimum balance, currently pays 0.25% APY and is a good option for young people to start building successful banking habits. In addition, young people who make deposits in their Young Savers Account receive vouchers that can be redeemed for gift cards, which creates added incentive for young people to save. I have also had one CD with the bank and everything went smoothly, there were no issues at all related to this account. All bank employees have always been helpful whenever I had any questions about my account.

Rude Managers And Fee Happy

Posted by: Anthony Paniccia | Oct 1, 2017

Never seen a bank that reorders your account like this one. Only out to get as much fees from you as possible. Paid $205 in overdraft fee on $300 in overdraft due to the fact they rearrange my postings and held up my direct deposit until they bounced items first.
