This Valley Mall branch consistently has the best managers & customer service being a long time account holder. On Saturday, needing to come into a lobby for service, we found out that appointments are required for Saturdays. We were at PA Ave branch because it was closest location at that time. This manager provided a polar opposite experience from the Valley Mall branch. And watched me struggle with my dad for 5 minutes & showed 0 empathy about his wasted trip & difficulties in & out of the car. This was at 10:30am. She had 2 employees present, no customers & 1 appointment there & rudely turned us away. It's not always what you say, & I did understand, it's HOW you say it. We went to the Valley Mall branch just to try our luck. My 94yo father is in a wheelchair & difficult to get in & out of the vehicle. I walked in & told MS. KELLY STINE, who was alone & it was now 11:45am, I didn't have an apt but my 94yo father was in the car & could she help us. She advised typically an apt is required but she would be happy to help us. When I came back to the bank she personally opened the door for us & ushered us back to her office immediately. She worked quickly, efficiently & most importantly with empathy for my father's condition & age - she was attentive, friendly & patient with him. Upon thanking her, she modestly said that M&T's goal is to provide the best customer care & satisfaction. Ms. STINE exemplifies the kind of gracious representation a bank - who handles people's personal finances - should provide to the public. THANK YOU MS. STINE for your kind & efficient assistance & resolution. read more
