M&T Bank is a publicly traded (NYSE: MTB), New York-based bank that offers an array of personal, business, and commercial banking products and services. With over 15,000 employees, and tens of billions of dollars in assets, M&T is one of the largest commercial banks in the United States.
On its personal banking side, M&T Bank offers checking, savings, Money Market, and Certificate of Deposit (CD) accounts, as well as investment guidance, retirement planning, and web trading services. Checking account options are numerous and range from free and basic to premium and interest bearing. The bank’s free and college checking account options are very similar and come with no monthly fees and a check card. The premium checking account offers minimal interest and has a monthly service charge that can be avoided by either keeping a minimum account balance or taking out a mortgage loan with the bank. All of M&T Bank’s checking accounts allow account holders to avoid an insufficient funds charge when the violating purchase is less than $5. A savings account is available with a low yield and a monthly service charge unless certain requirements are met. Two Money Market account options are available: one MMA has no monthly service fee but offers a low interest rate, and the other MMA offers more competitive rates with a monthly service charge. Certificates of Deposit (CDs) are available in term lengths ranging from 6 to 60 months.
M&T Bank online banking provides a secure system for account holders to view past transaction history, transfer funds, pay bills, and set account alerts. The M&T website is optimized for mobile banking, and the bank has released a smartphone app to make it easy and convenient to perform the above tasks while on the go.
M&T Bank was originally established in 1856 and is headquartered in Buffalo, New York. The bank is a subsidiary of M&T Bank Corporation, a bank holding company that has grown substantially through numerous acquisitions of financial institutions in the past 25 years. M&T Bank maintains a multitude of branches located throughout the Midwest, Northeast, and parts of south Florida.

User Error Not The Bank
Im reading all the bad reviews dying laughing at all the people blaming the bank who's following their rules for their stupidity. Take some responsibility once in awhile and realize the world doesn't revolve around you. And english is a must in the USA otherwise your fault. This country really needs to atop catering to non english speaking folks.
Anyway i agree their fees are excessive but just bank correctly and you won't have to deal with that and/or pay them fees. M&T has actually been a great bank for me and all the others have done me dirty. A block on overdrafts is imperative and should be used when i want it. M&t has where other banks go transaction crazy charging fee after fee just to increase that bill. Ive lost respect for most banks but m&t still keeps me going thankfully. When using your head regarding stuff and following their policies it's a good bank to use for direct deposit though they wait until the last second to release funds and to pay bills. Zelle is a bonus. For typical everyday money stuff they've been ok to me so far.
Can't Cash An M&T Check At M&T Without A Fee?
I usually have direct deposit but due to unforeseen circumstance I received a paper check. When I went to cash it, M&T was going to charge me a fee for cashing an M&T business check!
Then when they realized I had an account there they wouldn't cash it for the full amount because I didn't have enough in my checking account to cover it. I would have had to transfer money from my savings to my checking. Since when do I need enough money in MY checking account to cover MY EMPLOYERS check!!???
It's a shame that M&T took over Peoples United. My husband and I never had any issues with them. This bank is the worst bank probably in the entire history of banking!!! I've continuously heard nothing but unbelievably horror stories from anyone and everyone I encounter that banks with M&T and has reluctantly continued to use them.
M and T online Banking
M and T bank is an excellent bank. When I use their online banking, it is easy to see your account summary, transfers, and look at your bank statements. Also, what I like about M and T online banking is they have a setting where if you have bills to pay you can set your online banking account up so the money to pay your bills is taken out of your account every month. Also, when I put money into my checking amount the money is instantly available for me to use. Savings is good to and M and T online banking because it is easy to use, same with money market, CD's and IRAs.
