This is the main branch in St. Catharines,  located in the downtown area. The branch is quite…read morelarge, more spacious than your typical branch. It has been around for a very long time. The branch manager is looking for when it was first open and will get back to me. My parents have been clients at this branch since at least the 1970s or 1980s and love the branch, especially the free parking in the back. There is even a partial second floor containg more advisor offices. Customer service is really good. If you want to meet with an advisor,  you must book a meeting because they are likely fully booked for the same day. There is free WiFi. The bank is wheelchair accessible. There are separate male/female washrooms. There is free parking in their private parking lot. Review 2023-100

They told me that they do not do that for non members .

You lost a good loyal potential customer ! Lol
