A solid, local bank serving the community for decades
I have had a checking - and at one time, a savings - account with Florence Savings for well over 15 years. I'm a big believer in trying to keep my money close to the community, where it can do more good, and as a result, I've eschewed banking at big national companies like TD or BoA. The customer service is excellent, the branch locations are convenient to where I live and work, and the bank is clearly taking the time and spending the money to keep up with online offerings, which I believe are comparable to what the "big boys" have, with robust online web and phone based banking tools. My only complaint is that I've generally had a much easier time obtaining reasonable mortgage and HELOC terms with the competing co-operative bank.
Lost A Customer For Life
I was a customer for many years before leaving the area. I recently moved back to the area and used the ATM at Main and Pleasant Street. I paid the usual bank RIP OFF fee to get a hundred dollars from the account and then walked into the bank and asked a teller if I could exchange 5 $20 dollar bills for 1 $100 dollar bill. She asked if I had an account and when I said no, she said she can't "make change" if I'm not a customer. How sad and what poor customer service. I'll never go back.
Stay Away - Please!!!
Can't speak for their residential loan services, but as far as their commercial loan department they are the WORST. I'd go so far as to say that if I landed on the Moon and they were the only bank there I'd fire up the boosters and head for Mars. Incompetent and ineffective loan officers, reprehensible loan committee, draconian policies - please, please do yourself a favor and find another bank for your commercial loan business, or you'll be very sorry. Barely one small step above worthless, one giant leap below a bank you should give your commercial business to. If I took the time and effort to post this feedback please believe it is to help others from getting screwed.......
Lousy, Lousy Customer Service.
When a teller screwed up and gave my wife wrong information, the manager of the King Street Branch, who also claims to be VP for customer service, effectively called my wife a liar and refused to do anything to rectify the problem.
