No bounced check fees!

Posted by: wolfluvr | Jun 29, 2015

I have been with People's for about 5 years or so. There are times, very few though still times, that I have made a mistake on my account. Whether it was forgetting to subtract a withdrawal or a check. Needless to say, I ended up with a negative balance. I do have money direct deposited every month. And several times they did not charge me a bounced check fee. I know they don't if the negative amount is less than $5.00, but a couple times it was a little over the $5.00 maximum.

Good People At Peoples

Posted by: DanR | May 26, 2011

People's Bank is a convenience bank located throughout the Northeast. I started banking with them (checking and savings) five years ago when I started college. It has been nothing but your average bank with average accounts. The interest is what you gather is comparable with any other bank in the nation, and the fees they charge per account (nothing for me because I hold the minimum requirements) are in line as well. This bank has the upper hand when it comes to availability. They are open seven days a week which makes getting to the bank easy as pie. Their hours are longer during the week; they close at 7PM Monday through Friday, so swinging by after work is still an option. I have been to roughly a half dozen or so locations to cash checks, get to an ATM, etc. and I have yet to have a problem with their staff. People's has my business and will continue for years to come.

Great experience if you can find a walk in branch

Posted by: jodydougherty | May 12, 2017

I have been banking with People's United bank for several years now. In the beginning it was called People's Bank, which was very appropriate because they were really customer service driven, for the "people". I live in a small town where there was a local branch that you could walk in to do your banking , and it also had a drive up window. The drive up window was very convenient, the service outside and inside was outstanding. I started out with a checking account and savings account, checking had a very small minimum and there weren't any fees for using the ATM or using a foreign ATM. As time went on, the fees and balance minimums changed, making it challenging to avoid having any monthly fees. The system was also changing, less drive up windows and less walk in branches. Today I am still with them, but seriously thinking of changing banks. I have to go into a Stop and Shop grocery store if I need to go to the branch to get something done or speak with someone. If I am looking for a stand alone branch I have to drive 25 minutes to get to one. When I do go into the bank at the grocery store or a stand alone branch, the customer service is excellent, the employees try to treat you as if they know you and they are still that small town bank. Unfortunately, I feel very inconvenienced by them and will probably move on.

People's Bank

Posted by: jackiebaird77 | Mar 3, 2017

People's bank is local to my area. They do not provide many web services. I hate that I cannot easily check my balance from my phone. I was accidentally charged an overdraft fee when I had money in my account and they refused to take it off. I had a very poor experience with customer service and they provided no help.
