I Love This Bank
I have been with Sandy spring Bank for several years. I have never had a problem, the people who work there are helpful, curtius, and always cheerful. I have both my grandchildrens account there, and we all trust, admire and depend on them. This ( sandy spring bank) is the BEST bank I have ever done bussiness with any where!! If you want a bank you can trust and feel apart of, this is it. They make you feel like family.
Terrible Customer Service
The only account I have at Sandy Spring is a Health Savings Account through my company. I don't access the account often, but when I have attempted to log-in on their website, I can find no way to do so. Sure, someone will eventually talk you through it over the phone -- if you call during regular business hours -- but the idea of making web banking difficult for your customers strikes me as negligent at best, and plain stupid at worst. I've called and written asking them to address this easy-to-fix deficiency, with zero result. This may seem trivial, and it is, but it's an indication of how Sandy Springs Bank treats customers. Be warned.
Worst Bank In Maryland
I have been with this bank for over 20 years with 3 different accounts. Every year they get worse, when other banks are getting better with hours and services. The bank hours are so bad I can only make the drive thru one day a week. Online service is just not up to par for 2013 and the staff are the ruddiest people they can find. Last year one of the employees either stole or sold my debit card that never got to me and stole 15K and had to fight tooth and to put it back the money in my account for over a week, they could have cared less.
The last straw to me finally changing banks was trying to cash a check and the Manager at the Aspen Hill Branch gave me such a hard time and wasted 30 minutes just trying to cash a check and wouldn't do it because it was a business check. She made me get out of my car and go to the ATM. I should thank her because that got my lazy butt in gear and change to a real bank, one that has hours and services like taking a photo of my check to cash. If you want hassles, high fees and bad hours this bank is for you.
Not A Good Small Business Bank
I agree with Worst bank for small businesses like the other reviewer. Hours have changed so it is difficult to make deposits before you op[en for business and they now close earlier to it is difficult to make deposits when you close your business for the day. Their overdraft fees are rediculous. If you apply for overdraft protection, you will need to read a book to apply. My credit is good, but what a pain. My business landlord went to Sandy Spring Bank and cashed his rent check at the teller. This was a large check and the funds were available in my account when he did this. The next day I was charged an overdraft fee on that check he cashed. When I called the bank about this I was told that later that night another check came in which caused that fee. I explained that if the funds were in the account when the teller cashed the check I should not be charged a fee for overdraft. They refused to refund the fee. My husband has overdraft protection and they still charge him fees. He has called numerous times before that was corrected. Time to find another bank that cares about their customers.
