What sets this bank apart from other banks? They have a very low turnover of employees--and that means that they know you by name when you walk in the front door! I had been with another local bank for about 10 years prior to coming to Bridgeview, and it seemed like they had a different set of employees every time I went in! The online banking with Bridgeview is also excellent (great iPhone app). However, the employees are so friendly you will want to stop in from time to time just to say "Hello."

No longer recommending after exchanging no helpful emails with Elizabeth Morales. You don't send a client who walked in to learn about the grace period of matured CD to the tellers to find out, and the teller had no idea how to handle it. Citi sent me a letter about the grace period, but the letter never opened because of the website not working properly. Their phone service always has a long wait. I walked in for a better service, but it went south. I am not letting anyone at this branch handle a single dollar I owe.

Been with the Wintrust network of banks for a few years now. I started in Chicago with Wintrust and…read morethen floated my accounts over to Palatine Bank & Trust. This isn't really the banks fault as much as it's a corporate issue / computer structure issue. Whenever I want to transact business inside I have to get Northshore Bank paperwork filled out. It adds on a minute or two of bureaucracy. I could open new and local accounts but it's a very hard task to do with direct deposit from the government. Changing government direct deposit is beyond a headache and beyond bureaucracy clogged. So I just keep using my accounts as extended network. The bankers at PB&T don't care. The PB&T bankers are some of the best people in the community. They are an always welcoming and friendly staff and always engage in the community, even if that engagement is something as simple as letting someone with anxieties about the COVID pandemic talk it out for a few minutes over the bureaucracy of a transaction. There's banks I've been to that have personnel who are cold, unwilling to talk and just want to get business done and shove the next person up to the window. There's banks that have gotten so impersonal that you walk in stick your card in a reader punch your PIN and then the "teller" gives you your money or deposits things. I won't mention the competitor name but they're a national big box bank and frankly I feel like ALL of the big box banks have gotten to a point of fully objectifying clients and treating them like nothing more than walking bags of money to transact with. PB&T some of the bankers recognize me when I walk in and greet me, other times I meet a new banker and make a new connection. But those connections only become stronger. PB&T is truly a bank that makes every effort to connect with clients, support them and overall be a friend to the client rather than just a bank. I can't say this about any other bank, historically Harris Bank pre merger had this kind of connection but since the merge they too have gone to big box bank psychology. There are few banks in the world that a person can comfortably say one of my friends happens to be my bank branch. This is one of them. I strongly recommend you move to PB&T if you are banking elsewhere. Not only is PB&T a truly client oriented bank but the entire Wintrust network puts the client first. I had an overdraft happen, I fixed it the same day and they didn't charge me a dime. I had an overdraft happen at my previous bank fixed it the same day and still got charged $45 AND got told I couldn't get a reversal done even though I fixed it the day of the overdraft. I could go on and on with reasons for you to bank with PB&T but I think the best way for you to see the bank in action is to drop in and see for yourself.

We had a great relationship with the agency, and always got prompt responses to inquiries, and help with problems and claim.

We no longer feel as though we are important, or worth their time. We are currently looking elsewhere for service, but are stuck with Keller because we have an issue which dates back several years.

I went to these folks for a mortgage after working with several banks on a home purchase…read more I had several poor experiences with other lenders, who will get their own reviews. Nearly all of them tried to load up fees or play around with terms to pump up their own bottom line outside of agreed upon parameters. First Federal was the exception in that respect, as they adhered to the agreed upon terms through closing. First Federal was fast with review and turnaround time. They kept their promises in terms of timetable. They did not make any attempt to change terms or load up garbage fees as the process moved along. The loan officer was great. Fast, always polite, always helpful and kept on top of things. In short they handled everything as professionally as possible with no surprises. I would, and will, go back to them for a mortgage again. Rates/fees are very competitive and the process was smooth. I can't, at this point, think of anything else they could do to get your business. Update November 2014: I did a refinance on a rental property through First Federal. Again, no issues. My prior loan officer was gone, so I dealt with someone else. Results were basically the same. Rates were competitive, they kept to their terms with no surprises and got us to the closing table quickly on a timeline that worked for me. I'll be using them again. No question, no doubt.

My husband had an IRA with them for over 10 years. Their rates are not comparable to other banks so when it was up he wanted to transfer it. He was told (and I was a witness) there was no fee as long as we had a transfer letter from the other bank. We got the letter to them and low and behold the manager calls my husband and says there is a $30.00 fee. I don't even think he made $30.00 on the IRA over the course of the last 10 years! Wow, way to do business First Federal, can't compete with rates so charge your customers to make up for it!

He would be deducting the fee from my refund, he changed the account number and routing number, the taxes were issued by the IRS on 2/29/2024. I kept on calling regarding the status of my taxes. He later then advised, that his account had gotten hacked and he didn't have funds, after several months of contacting the IRS, I still have yet to have my taxes from him, I am just seeking my full money at this point, every day and every week when I call he tells me that there is no update on these taxes. IRS confirmed that this case has been closed, I would love a resolution to this matter as soon as possible. Rizwan, I am please seeking my refund as soon as possible. I believe a police report was done on this and 20 other people got impacted.
