We walked in a few minutes before they were closing but the branch manager took her time and made us feel like we were important to them. They also have wonderful programs for young customers. They only have to have a $5.00 minimum, they put $10.00 into their account as a welcome, and they get reimbursed if they use an ATM at another bank and get charged a fee. Just an all around great experience for myself and my son.

I have been a patron of this bank for years & can not possibly say enough positive things about it…read more First off, I switched banks from a large bank to Highlands State Bank after I got tired of being robbed with literally illegal fees. Highlands State Bank is smaller but that's the best part. There is absolutely no fee checking. Open it with $50 and you could take $49 out the next day and there is no fee! Savings accounts just have to have $100 to prevent a monthly service fee. I am disabled & currently don't have a car. Not a problem, there is free completely mobile banking available. Get a rebate check from ebates.....that's ok, take a picture and deposit it with your smartphone. No need to even go in. The staff are amazingly kind & helpful! They go out of their way to make sure that whatever you need gets accomplished. I'm moving out of the area but because the mobile banking is so awesome, I will not be leaving them behind!

If I could give PNC half a star, I would. Their mortgage practices feel predatory, and the most…read morefrustrating part is that homeowners have no control over who ends up servicing their loan unless they refinance. I recently tried--for the second time--to remove my PMI. Two months ago, my home appraised significantly higher, yet PNC's new appraisal came back $60,000 lower with zero adjustments, even though the comparable properties were clearly different. After I challenged the report, they suddenly approved it, which raises even more concerns. From there, things only got worse. PNC completed another escrow analysis, but instead of removing PMI entirely, they reduced only about half. Their comparison statement is confusing and misleading--one column shows annual insurance, taxes, and PMI, while the other shows monthly principal, interest, and escrow. It's literally comparing apples to oranges, and it seems designed to make customers feel powerless. On top of that, when they returned the appraisal, the report was printed on a quarter of an 8x11 page--making it nearly impossible to review the comps for four properties in spreadsheet format. It's unprofessional and feels intentionally obstructive. If you bank with PNC, please reconsider. In my experience, if this is how they handle mortgage servicing, there may be other areas where customers are being taken advantage of. If your appraisal was denied and you'd like support, you can reach me at properties.care2019@gmail.com. PNC hires the appraisers they use, which creates an obvious conflict of interest--the appraiser has every incentive to favor the bank to keep getting their business.

So I called and asked when will I receive my new card. They said it's being mailed to another address, my old address from over two years ago. I asked if the they see my current address, confirmed and it correct. They said they could mail me a form or I could stop in and change the address for the ATM card. Again I said you have my new address so just change it for the atm card. So now I have to waste time through mail or go to a branch. So now it's being sent to an address I dont live at.

Never! Since 1987, I have purchased about 20 vehicles and 6 homes in the north jersey area and every time I check with Lakeland bank I am always... and I mean always disappointed! This last time I have finally learned my lesson. I am closing my checking account with this bank and will not waste my time ever stepping foot in one of their branches again. As far as I am concerned, Lakeland Bank really needs to do society a favor and just go out of business.
