They also do notary free for banking customers which is awesome. And I've never had to wait longer than 2-5 minutes when I go in, most of the time there is no wait. Very happy with them and plan to use them for many years to come. The debit cards with the peacock on them are a nice bonus too!

I really wanted to support a small, local bank but unfortunately they are too small and their…read moretechnology and services are in the last century. Not having a money counting machine was kind of odd, but not enough to deter me. Here is why I left Malaga bank for a larger, corporate bank (the tl;dr is that customer service is only available M-F 9-5 and their fraud detection services are out of control): They have a $1,000 daily spend limit on debit purchases. If you wish to make a larger purchase you have to call and authorize it. Only problem is they are only accessible by phone M-F 9-5pst. Their "fraud detection" system is ridiculous. I had charges denied and my card locked on a weekly basis for routine purchases, ex: Amazon, and there was nothing I could do about it- this is what pushed me over the edge in terms of leaving the bank. There app is not very good, doesn't have a face-ID option and for those of you familiar they aren't listed with Plaid, which means linking your account to other services and apps is difficult and sometimes impossible.

Excellent, excellent service by Christianne. My family members have accounts here and my son took…read moreme in one day to open an account under him. I have a few accounts with a couple other banks, including another credit union, but I wanted the ease of being able to transfer money quickly to and from my son and of course it's easier with the same banking institution. We came in, signed in, and waited for our turn. It didn't take long at all, but we have been in at other times and it did take a little while. Opening the new account was quick and painless. In fact, it seemed like it was faster than opening up an account elsewhere. Christianne also educated my son on the app, which is very user friendly. This location has two ATM machines that you can deposit, withdraw, and check your balances from. Beware, sometimes it can be slow to count cash and process when you are making deposits, so just be aware of your surroundings. There is also another ILWU location in Wilmington and they are affiliated with a network of other credit unions throughout the country, if you find yourself elsewhere and need access to your accounts.

I had a very disappointing experience with one of the employees named destiny at this branch. I…read morecame in with what should have been a simple banking matter that banks handle every day, but instead of receiving assistance, I was met with an unprofessional attitude. The employee was rude, raised her voice during our conversation, and spoke to me in a disrespectful manner. Rather than listening and trying to help resolve the issue, she made the situation unnecessarily stressful. As a customer, I expect to be treated with courtesy and professionalism, regardless of the circumstances. I hope management addresses this employee's customer service skills, as no customer should feel disrespected or spoken to this way when seeking routine assistance

There was a long line of customers waiting, while about four employees were behind the glass and only one teller was actually helping people. The wait time was ridiculous and completely unnecessary. I understand things get busy, but this felt like poor management and lack of urgency. Customers' time should matter, especially those who have been with the bank for a long time. Very disappointing experience at this branch.

My dealership Mercedes Autonation had issued me a refund in a Bank of America check for $3,000 dollars. I understand there is a fee to cash said check which is fine considering I do not bank at Bank of America. The bank teller immediately looks at the check and my CA ID numerous times and treated me like I was a criminal trying to cash a bogus check. She refused to help me and would not accept the check issued by her own employer bank! It was clearly a legitimate issued check and failed to even check and just handled it in her hand. Told me she could run it but then there would be some stamp code in the bank which would make it difficult for me to cash it at my own bank to which I replied why would that happen if I'm not going to my bank I am here this is a Bank of America check not Chase. This is ridiculous that I could not cash this check. She forced me to go to my own bank across the street and refused to help me or offer to speak to a supervisor. She just handed me the check and my ID back looking at me like I am a criminal. Sorry excuse for the face of your company. It seems pretty shady when my dealerships bank can't honor their own bank notes. This again reconfirmed why I stopped banking with Bank of America and will never ever return and will continue to bad word of mouth it to everyone I come across. Just so that bitch knows I make over 100k a year. Never assume things about who walks in your branch. I did not appreciate being treated like a criminal by some broke ass teller.

I said I would like to open a new business account and she said she cannot do that because 'I need three members' present to do so. I inquired why this would be so, and she said "in case they get busy." She was sitting there staring at an empty screen when I arrived, literally not doing anything, and there was no one in line and barely anyone in the store. It was 1:45 pm in the afternoon. There was another gentleman there, who appeared to be busier than her. She did not offer a time or offer an appointment to return. I asked to speak to the manager, she gave me Pablo Corral's # which turned out to be the customer service line. I was able to get routed to the branch and spoke to the woman "Cindy" and asked why she had not told me that the # was a basic branch #. She said she's not allowed to give out the manager personal #. I said I hadn't asked for that and she could have informed me the # was not direct and the hours he could be contacted. She took my # and said she'd pass it along. We'll see if I get that call...

After my CD matured, it automatically renewed before the 7-day grace period had expired, and fees were subsequently applied incorrectly to my account. What was even more frustrating was the lack of customer service (both in person and on the phone) and accountability when I tried to resolve the issue. I expected them to be able to correct this obvious error promptly. Instead, I spent far too much time speaking with representatives, repeating the same information, and getting little to no meaningful assistance. No one seemed empowered to take ownership of the problem or provide a timely resolution.
