Good Local Bank
I've been a customer at Fidelity Bank for over 5 years and my experience has been very positive. The customer service representatives have for the most part been very polite, knowledgeable and helpful. I occasionally get a teller who is a little socially awkward or who seems not to quite know what they're doing; I usually assume these people are new and still getting into the swing of things. I think a $35 overdraft fee is a bit much but I accidentally overdrafted a couple of times and Fidelity was willing to waive the fee when I explained to them what happened. Their website is fine, I never have any problems with it, but it's impossible to check on my phone and I wish they had a mobile-formatted site. The parking lot at their main branch is like a labyrinth. The West Scranton branch is open on Sunday for a couple hours which really comes in handy sometimes. Altogether, I've been very pleased with my experience with Fidelity Bank and would be happy to recommend them.
Disappointed
I tried to deposit 20.00 into a savings account and the page jumped and it was saying I’d deposited 2,000!
So I called the bank in fuquay because the local Biscoe branch wouldn’t answer the phone for me.
They didn’t answer when she called either.
Nor when I called them again.
She sent them an email about forgiving the 30.00 stop payment charge but they didn’t .
I’ve been with them for over 30 years.
My business is not valued at all.
