We moved to Florida last year, but my husband's Key Bank checking account remains in NY, because he…read morereceives his pensions and social security as well as pays bills through that account. Working on our estate plan, one step was to make our bank accounts POD, payable upon death, which is a simple beneficiary designation. There are no branches where we live, and we called, spoke to supervisors, and engaged in online chat, and they said we had to go to a branch or no dice, not even with copies of driver's licenses and notarization. Called our branch, left multiple messages, no one calls back. Discovered a Key Bank private banking office near us, and the 800-KEY2YOU person called them to ask if they'd accept this at their office, which they might have suggested initially, but we had to figure it out. We sat down with an investment banker who called the Halfmoon branch, and it was still exceedingly difficult and took days. In this day and age, there is no business that can't be conducted remotely, with notaries, copies of licenses, social security numbers, and more, even if it has to be original copies through the mail. Someone needs to explain this to Key Bank, which has no solution for anyone who moved and are not in proximity to a branch. By the way, apparently this issue is specific to Key in New York, not any other state. AVOID KEY BANK.

Terrible bank with a super rude staff. I personally do not bank with KB(thank god), I have always…read morebanked with credit unions, but a family member does hold accounts and investments with Key Bank and have been excellent customers for 30+ years and you would think they would treat someone cashing a check on their behalf with some respect. They charge a $7.50 fee to cash a check if you're not a customer (IF they do have enough cash on hand to cash a check, they could not cash my check $20k check but regardless this is a complete racket). I recommend if you bank with Key Bank now to look into local credit unions such as Adirondack Trust, SEFCU or any local credit union. They all offer better rates, better accounts, excellent customer service and more local branches. They also don't nickel and dime your friends or employees who may need to cash a check by charging them a $7.50 fee to cash a check, I can only image what other small fees are in Key Banks small print. Stay away from Key Bank-just awful!

Been with them since you had to work at GE.

Meanwhile accounts I had paying with my old debit card were delinquent. Such a mess. They don't have Zelle so you have to verify any account to transfer money or wait for a check to clear. Ridiculous. Can't wait till all my issues get cleared up, going on a month now, so I can take my money and run.

Terrible financial institution these days. Been with them over30 years but of late they are…read moreliterally a terrible financial institution. Recent system "upgrade" left customers for extended period (6 days for me) without access to accounts, bill pay, nothing for 6 mf-ing days. And there reply was like-shoulder shrug-eehh. My new problem with them is that I use bill pay. When you set the payment up it gives you a date payment is issued and a date it will be received on or before. Yesterday a call from my mortgage holder, they had not received Aprils mortgage payment. My account showed payment was issued on April 6th, There explanation is that it was lost in the mail and my problem is with the USPS. My exlanation is, what bill pay company issues a check and sends it snail mail now a days to another financial institution. Get the fuck out of the stone ages. Theyre telling me that they are not responsible for late fees cause their contractor did in fact issue payment timely. So what did I do wrong, and why am I being held responsible for your payment contractors responsibility of on time delivery. Thats why there is an issue date and a receipt on or before date. Done with these a-holes. If you want a bank to fight against you, this is the one. Sunmark is not your friend. Only got a 1 cause there is no ZERO option.

When I called to ask about it, the guy on the phone was unbelievably rude. When I asked if they could refund the money and then I could come in and figure out what's going on so this doesn't happen again, he gave me attitude and said they don't give refunds and that I should have made a copy of the contract I signed when I signed up with them....from 10 years ago....? I then told him I'd be switching banks then because this is ridiculous and he HUNG UP ON ME!! When I called back and asked why I was hung up on...he hung up again. So unprofessional and I am so done with this bank.

After all this frustration I applied for my HELOC loan application on July 13 with Citizens Bank and they are about to sign my closing documentation tomorrow. Which is huge difference between these two Banks. Citizens Bank is so easy to deal with and quick that I was really shocked and surprised. It is just amazing experience.

Horrible experience. Dealing with Berkshire Bank's customer service and main office is like…read moresticking hot needles into your eyes. They are deliberately deceitful. I was told lies throughout my time as a customer with them, being promised things they never fulfilled. In the end, they made it impossible to transfer my funds, then charged me fees. Their online service and app were useless. Whatever you do, don't get involved with Berkshire. Google them, you'll see terrible reviews and questionable dealings (" Berkshire bank lawsuit") in the news. It shows exactly the type of business you will be choosing to do business with if you select them. Never in my life with several banks I've dealt with in business, and personally, have I experienced such a complete lack of decency. If you're considering... Do your DUE DILIGENCE on this company. It will save you time, frustration and money. And the feeling I have, of being taken by them with purpose.

When I moved to California, I kept my membership and still use them as my primary financial institution. Their checking overdraft line of credit is phenomenal. They don't charge overdraft or fees when you access it, saving tons in overdraft fees that other banks and institutions will charge for. That is one great benefit that keeps me as a member. Back in the day, I was in need of a new car and was unable to come up with a down payment. They helped save the day with 100% financing. A list of benefits go On and on. I would highly recommend using them.

Wasted an hour and a 1/2 at the bank trying to work it out ( keep in mind I have 20k in credit available but can't do a cash advance )?? 6 different people tried to help me, Finally they offered a minimum person loan.

I also am refinancing all loans in Cap com They are not the Credit Union we started with . Can't believe they left me hanging like that. Most surprising, no one following up with me to apologize for-their poor unannounced change in policy affected me such a horrible way! do yourself a favor find a new financial institution.
