Theft By Policy
If you plan on dealing with Friends Bank in New Smyrna Beach, Florida,I have one piece of advice, don't!
In my opinion, they use antiquated methods of reporting and communicating, not to mention a pervese sense of customer service!
The result is when you are not informed in a timely manner; of an impending penalty, on say a CD that you have had with them for five years! That's right, you get slammed! Their excuse, "It's Policy"!
That's right their policy is to only use snail mail to inform you a CD is about to mature! No E-mail, No Fax, No Phone call and 6 months of interest now belongs to them! Ouch! "Sorry, Our Policy"!
The folks that run this bank are rank amatuers at best, don't take my opinion as fact, just look at their ratings and financials!
If you deal with them, good luck or should I say Caveat Emptor"
Friends Bank is no friend of mine!
