I had lost my ATM card while out of state in Virginia. I called Peoples and told them about the…read moreloss and they canceled my old card. That is OK. I said I am without a card so the bank expedited me a new card for $50. and five days to receive it. I get the card so I call up the bank and and said I need a new PIN number to which they replied. GO TO YOUR NEAREST PEOPLES BRANCH AND DO THE PROCESS. I am 640 miles from the bank and went a month without a working card that I paid 50 bucks to have sent to me. Peoples sent me a form for change of address even though I am on vacation for 30 days. They also sent me three times a DOCU-SERVE FORM to get an ATM card sent to me which I had already received after paying 50 bucks. Because my old card was canceled and my new card was dormant for 30 days until I returned, I came back north on I-95 and I-287 & 87. I received an auto toll bill for $6.80 plus a $50. fee PAY BY PLATE because my bank account could not contribute to the transponder payment. No pin, no acct number. Peoples branches in Westfield and Chicopee are not infected by the mis-happenings at Bankee Peddlar in Holyoke. No long bread lines and lack of tellers out of town. This bank is soaking millions in to some ongoing event in Hartford besides renting out the huge building off I-91. Over 40 years a customer with mortgage and equity loans and I am beat like a rented mule. Don't need your useless apology like the other reviews, I won't be back to read it.

Too bad they did not invest in more cultural services for the community, judging by the amount of new banks that have lately established themselves in the city.

That´s community: accessible, environmentally friendly--since we could walk before, now we have to use the car--, and sustainable, too.

I'd like to begin with giving a heartfelt, and genuine Thank You of appreciation to both Olivia…read moreand Antonio of the Pioneer Valley Postal Credit Union branch in Springfield Massachusetts. I've never felt so compelled to address " yelp " or any other online service sites before this point , so this is my first experience.. Long story short..I recently incurred a life changing event, I've worked very hard in avoiding. But due to circumstances above and beyond my control i did unfortunately become a victim of. I didn't know where to start or begin, all i knew was that my integrity as well as financial standing was placed in jeopardy.. Currently our climate doesn't really afford us the ability to connect to with one-on-one customer service agents who have the time to listen much less the time to humanely connect and relate. I was blessed to experience different..Because of Olivia and Antonio , i was and am enabled to garner the energy and strength to see my fight ( and probably for so many other's ) untill the end. Sincere Thank You's go out to Olivia and Antonio.. Keep making your positive impacts /footprints in the immediate community and beyond. Trust me you may never know who's life your saving and /or repairing , keep making the world a MUCH better place. Simply by your unselfish ways and ability to care dictates and makes it clear who you really are.

They didn't mind providing witnesses who signed and notarized like 50 pages of documents. Have great loan rates.

A week after creating the account, I was told the promotion is no longer valid, despite their system accepting the "Get400" promotion code. I visited the Westfield brank and was told by a teller that the system accepts codes even if they are invalid since it doesn't validate them. I asked if the promotion could be extended since it had just expired. The teller checked with management and informed me that no such courtesy could be extened for a new customer. I called headquarters and asked again if they would be able to extend the promotion for a new customer. I explained the main reason for opening the account place was the promotion and that the promotion still appears on their web site and no expiration date is listed. Again, I was told my request could not be honored. I informed the representative that I would be leaving negative feedback on Yelp and closing my account immediately. I left Peoples Bank 20 years ago due to their high fees and thought I would give them another chance. Seems not much has changed. There are many better options, including credit unions that are more likely to work with their customers. Stay away from Peoples Bank.
