We love our bank!
We have been banking here for over 20 years. I love the individualized service you get at a small local bank. When my husband had his business we had his account here as well as our personal checking and a savings account. They knew him when he walked in and we have always been treated with the utmost respect and friendliness. I have had experience in the past with big banks and there is no comparison. I also like that smaller banks might be less likely to be the target of hackers. In today's world there is so much to look out for. Since so much of banking is accomplished online now we don't have as much interaction with the actual personnel at the bank but if we ever need to call our questions are answered quickly and professionally every time. I would not consider changing banks, especially to a big bank, even though we don't have ALL of the conveniences available at bigger banks. I would rather have the great service than all of the bells and whistles.
I Like Their Calls About My Late Payments. Saved My Credit Rating!
I have repeatedly missed my car payment dates. They call my cell, mention the problem, and I say pay it. I finally got my own bank to start making automatic payments for this reason, so the calls should stop. Given all the $10 or see fees each late period, I paid about $100 in late fees this year. That is my fault. I consider the fees a bargain. Someone had to call me, and that service costs money. Often, these callers get nowhere, so I must unfortunately but realistically account for that low efficiency in what I pay as a late fee. I appreciate the calls. It's much better than my forgetting until I end up with my payments so overdue they get reported to credit agencies. My credit score is over 820. If not for their calls, I would forget and it would be much lower. I don't recall getting calls when I missed payments for anything. For me, it's a win-win. Maybe other banks do that, but I'm just glad they do it. Saved my credit score. I'm thinking of buying a house. How much is the score worth to me? A lot! I do wish I could have paid online to their bank directly from mine without an account at their bank, but such is life.
No CD Promotion Available?
I had a CD come due at this bank recently and went in to my local branch to renew the CD at the current posted promotion rate on this site. When I asked them about the promotion, they had no idea what I was talking about and said they didn't have a promotion even close to that rate. Why advertise the promotion if the banks don't have it? They lost my business to yet another internet bank.
Incompetence In Resolving Problem
It's been several months since valley took over my original bank, they locked my business account and I was not able to do bill pay to my creditors online. After 2 months of persistent telephone calling and visits to the regional branch, nothing got solved. My account is still locked, now I cannot visit the branch due to Covid coronavirus situation. They are impossible to reach on the phone and their IT department is useless. I am going to switch banking as soon as I am able to. For now, they are holding my money hostage.
