I haven't had any personal investments with Merrill Lynch in over three decades, but since I have a…read morelot of business associations with people who do, I often end up conducting or becoming involved in business dealings with them. This particular office, like all offices of Merrill Lynch is pretty much top of league having an upper class financial/banker like décor and atmosphere about it. The people who work here are all perfectly mannered and just about as polite and friendly as anyone could ever be and all professionals at what they do. There are two things about dealing with Merrill Lynch that I particularly like. The first is that as an investment house associated with one of the world's largest banks, Bank of America, they have a depth of resources and available expertise to tap into. So, when things get a little out of the usual like requiring some knowledge of IC-Disc partnerships in order to gain foreign sales preferences, matters of depletion allowances as opposed to run of the mill depreciations, non-participatory royalty as opposed to participatory working interests and such, they usually have someone somewhere available within their organization who does have an expertise in those areas. The second is that every time I've ever read any of their proposals or recommendations, they've generally been tailor made, not just a one size fits all, for the situation of the individual investor or individual investor needs. Also, I've found them to be well written, well thought out, and done in what are rather admirable forms of presentation.

They have always had very experienced managers with whom to talk about ideas, investments and options. This time, I went to the Fort Lauderdale office since I needed to get a document notarized.

That is the most important thing to me is to feel that the financial institution will care for your money appropriately It reeks of professionalism something that you don't see these days. It is very intimidating changing your investment service company. However the associates at that firm made me feel very comfortable and made the transaction very easy. They have an outstanding website as far as learning about their investments. So the IT staff needs a five stars for designing a stellar website that is incredibly user-friendly. It is a little bit tricky getting to their office since it's in downtown so don't get discouraged. It is very easy to get a hold of their support staff. I have checked out Fidelity and Fidelity has very poor customer service. I would definitely recommend anyone needing financial services to check them out.

I paid fully all my monthly transactions. I am also joining the unsatisfied customers with that mobile bank which continuously made mistakes providing me inaccurate information on the phone. Even either the supervisor or manager I spoke to made mistakes for bank basic question issues. I spent endless hours on the phone. Yes they provided me with compensation but I was not looking for that kind of response. My time is valuable and I deserve to receive accurate information. The branch located downtown Fort Lauderdale provided me with the wrong wire #. I requested the international one and I got the domestic one. I did not get the funds on time even if the transaction was free. I was there in person in order to avoid any issues but it did not help. Staff are not well and longer trained to service the customers. I won't recommend that bank to my best friends.
