Pat was a true life saver a few years back when my mother was incapacitated and later passed away…read more She had most of her money invested an annuity with a bank that was charging ridiculous commissions.  He guided me in taking the money out of the bank and investing it in low-cost investment option that suited my own goals as a mid20s urban professional. He also had a great strategy for helping me avoid unnecessary taxation.  Even before my mother passed on, Pat was a trusted advisor to my father who leaned on him for tax and investment advice. I just wish my mother had listened to Pat when he tried to warn her about the commissions her bank was charging. Pat helped me save and gain thousands and I am forever grateful. He is a grade-a tax accountant and trusted investment advisor. He made things very easy and simple to understand. Have no fear with this guy.

As they have grown over the years the client support has gotten worse and worse. During Covid the client support truly took a hit and I was understanding to that, but today there is no excuse in my book. Today specifically I called the E-BIZ business client support center and sat on hold for 5 minutes so I requested a call back. Its been almost two hours and I have still not received a return phone call. I have emailed CEO Schrider as well as Mr. Kitterman VP client experience manager and have not received a response. I am disgusted with the lack of client support and I am moving all of my personal and business banking needs to Capital One Bank in 2025.

The absolute worst example of business banking I have seen in 50 years…read more You cannot make an online deposit through scanning into a computer. You have to use their Mickey Mouse camera app making it almost impossible to properly focus and overly time consuming for a business. I recently attempted to deposit a $15,000.00 check into one of our accounts there. I received a notification the deposit was too large, $15,000.00 FOR A BUSINESS ACCOUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had to make the deposit into our personal account with another bank, AN ACCOUNTANT'S NIGHTMARE, and then write 2 checks into the Sandy Spring account. They both posted but we received only 1 e-mail confirmation. The app then went to a blank recent transaction screen and could not be moved. A call to customer service was fruitless and a waste of an additional hour. I WOULD RECOMMEND SETTING YOUR BUSINESS ON FIRE BEFORE ATTEMPTING BUSINESS BANKING WITH SANDY SPRING BANK. These amateurs didn't even have the courtesy to respond to my letter my mail or phone. They just left a message below for me to waste more time calling them. I REGRET EVER HEARING OF THESE LOSERS. BE FOREWARNED.

For a year, I have watched the bank manager help white elderly white people an extra 5 dollars for asking for help. Today tho.... Today, I witness an african american male drive to the teller window. Something made me look. The bank was primarily empty when I left. This man sat in his car for over 10 mins before he drove around and walked in. They purposely ignored him. When he came in, I walked in again to grab some extra money in hand and they acted like he was the problem. That young man was kind, used manners like he breaths and although he looked like he just got off work he smiled regardless of how he was treated. I got the opportunity to talk to that young man and he said they treat him like that all the time. If he needs help he knows he can't get help from them so he calls in. I thought that was odd. He told me more about his work in domestic violence. He gave me some insight and it made me check my accounts as well. Anywho, Poor customer service and the bank manager needs to be fired. This is my opinion.

When I called Customer Service to question the transaction, I was told a teller made an error when processing a deposit, so they removed money from my account!!!

If they cannot process checks correctly, how can you trust them with loan applications and sensitive information!!!!
