This review is for the OpenDoorsHalifax event this past weekend, not for the bank itself (which is…read morenot my bank). The building is amazing. I am not sure how open they are to having random people walk in and snap pictures during the regular banking hours.. but if they are.. you need to go! It's one of Halifax's oldest buildings and just a beautiful representation of the architecture. There is the original brass fixtures everywhere. From the elevator doors, to the windows, to the safety deposit area's gate. It's all there in it's original glory. And as an added bonus, they were giving away free books of old advertising back in the early days of Halifax.

Excellent teller services, with very COMPETENT people. I was able to close my accounts easily and…read morethe whole 10 minute experience was a breeze. Thank you for the friendly and very efficient service. I had less than stellar service in Toronto and had to come all the way to Nova Scotia to resolve the issue. Glad I walked into this branch. The experience has restored my faith in customer service. Would recommend this branch to anyone in the Halifax vicinity.

As a child, I used to collect stamps for my deposits of change into an account. As an adult, I…read moreturned to the CU when I needed to straighten out my credit and have been dealing with CU Atlantic since the '80's when no other bank would help. If I have any questions, I go in person where I find Staff very knowledgeable and accommodating....always helpful. CUA is still a financial institution for the people. It's clients are its owners as shareholders. Cathy L

Worst customer service ever! We have had our mortgage here…read moresince 2012. Can't wait to move it!!! Staff has an incredibly high rate of change over. You can never deal with the same person twice. Complete lack of communication within the staff. I've had rude service, emails and phone calls unreturned. No one there seems to care about the customers. Their whole system is archaic. Save yourself some major head aches and NEVER bank with them!

Well, for the first time since moving out of my parents place I decided I would be a big girl and…read morehead to H&R block to get my taxes done myself. I never thought I would have such an enjoyable experience after seeing all those tax pain commercials on TV. I walked in and was told that there would be an hour wait, fine I had errands to run anyway. I handed the clerk my t4's and returned an hour later. My tax consultant was Joan and let me just say she is one of the reasons I had such a great time! Wonderful! She called the CRA for me as I was unsure of my carry forward amounts from tuition and we got the information we needed to continue. Joan was friendly and courteous and carried on a conversation that lasted the entire time I was there. I will definitely seek her out next year. I was refunded in full; which is not what I had expected at all. So now my bank account and wallet are happy campers! There are a couple of options to get your money; an H&R debit card or checks- I opted for the checks, headed to the bank and now my refund sits happily in my account. Students pay only $30, and receive a SPC card. So now, I can even get discounts while I shop with the extra money I didn't think I would have!

Worst service ever!!! I will never go back to H&R Block to get my taxes done. We waited 2 hours,…read morewe did not have an appointment. You are not acknowledged nor are they concerned that you are waiting a long time. T hey had no sense of urgency what so ever. There was one accountant who has placing little cards on all the desks ,mean while the waiting room was packed.When we finally did get called on,our accountant couldn't figure out what papers to staple together.We mentioned to her we had been waiting for over 2 hours. Her reply, well some people wait for three,I guess we were the lucky ones. Don't waste your money or time.
