    I've had mixed experiences at this branch, but I think it deserves a solid 3 star 'A-OK'. It's in a…read moregreat location and has a drive thru ATM (and just added their second machine...finally) which is even more convenient. Oddly enough, I find myself having to come inside more often than not so I've talked to many of the employees here. For just general tasks, the front desk gets the job done (and about half the time with a smile). They aren't the fastest bunch and last time I was in, an employee asked a customer who was depositing a self proclaimed 'big check' what he did for a living. I guess this isn't a big deal for some, but I think that's infringing on the privacy of someone who might not be comfortable. Having said that, they are generally friendly and ask how my day is. Sometimes the friendliness gets in the way of speed, however, since I've never seen more than 2 people working at the desk at one time. I sat down with a personal accountant to figure out the best credit card option through the bank and not only did the employee take a personal call while I was with her, but she did not seem to be knowledgable at all about my options. After figuring that out 20 minutes later, she recommended I call customer service for more information. It's not the worst BofA branch, but they could use a little improvement.

    I usually dread having to go into a bank to do business,but not at this one. From day one the…read morecustomer service I got was great, made me feel welcome. Seems like they are understaffed but I always get great service! The bank teller is always very courteous and knowledgeable with me!!

    ​First and foremost, let me suggest that you remove all of your assets from this BB&T Branch and…read moreget on over to the Farmers Bank on Southampton Parkway where you will get superior 5-star service from people who care about you and your loved ones. My incapacitated father is stuck in an Alabama hospital​, 879 driving miles away from anyone that cares about him. I've been working with this BB&T Branch for weeks, trying to get information required by a guardian to make decisions that a guardian has to make for incapacitated persons. I first approached this BB&T Branch with an Advance Medical Directive and my Birth Certificate, showing that I am the son of said incapacitated person. I advised them that I would be traveling to Alabama to go before a judge and get the required documentation needed to take care of my father. I did just that. I took several days off of work, without pay, paid $175 for fuel and another $160 for a motel while in the Alabama area. I attended probate court and was assigned the guardian and conservator of my father. Now my father is bed confined in a hospital with no one there to visit him or check on him. In order to transfer him to a nursing home, I need to verify his income from the banks (simple monthly deposits). This is required of a guardian that fills out applications for Medicaid and/or admittance papers for nursing homes. Everyone single one of my Dad's banks followed the direct order from the court except for BB&T. BB&T is refusing to follow a court order and allow me to take care of my father. BB&T is the sole reason my father is still in Alabama, awaiting to be transported closer to home and admitted to a skilled care center where his family can visit with him daily. This BB&T Branch has the pain and suffering of a 72 year old incapacitated man on their hands and all they care about doing was going home on Friday evening to enjoy their weekend, while my day lays in a bed 879 miles away from his family. The other day I took the same court paperwork to the Farmers Bank on Southampton Parkway, FIVE minutes before they closed. They made copies and said they'd help me the next day. I got off at 3 PM and by the time I arrived at Farmers Bank, they had everything I needed done! I was in Farmers Bank doing business for a total of 10 minutes (5 minutes each day) and accomplished more than I've been able to do get done with BB&T in several visits with that past few weeks. So when I say go and get 5-star service at Farmers Bank on Southampton Parkway, I don't mean do this because I had a bad experience with BB&T. I mean go get 5-star service at Farmers Bank on Southampton Parkway, because you and your loved ones deserve to be treated like you matter! I'm hoping The Tidewater News will publish my letter about my experience with this BB&T Branch.

    The folks at the physical bank and phone services are very nice. My review is about Navy Federal in…read moregeneral. Banking with them was great until I applied for a Credit Card through them and they set up auto payment which unbeknownst to me were being paid 2 days late. I called and asked them why and they said "Whoops." Adjusted to pay on time. Too late, my credit was negatively effected. Then, two times vendors double charged / overcharged my account. NF certainly should have alerted me when a large online vendor charged my account $375.18 twice in a matter of 90 seconds. Instead they fought me tooth and nail. Both times, vendors provided written testimony of their mistakes but NF repeatedly found in favor of the vendor. I had to DEMAND that they actually READ the evidence the vendors and myself provided. It took about 2 weeks in both instances for NF fraud dept. to do their job. Very frustrating! I decided it would be safer for my financial safety to close my accounts (savings, checking & credit card) the first week of Feb. But, in late March I got an overdraft notice in the mail saying I owe THEM $9.83. I call, put ON HOLD, then operator explains that the overdraft fee is because there is no money in my account" and I say "That's because NF transferred my money to my new bank when I closed my account six weeks ago." Her response "Your accounts are not closed. How would you like to pay this $9.83?" Me: "I don't owed you $9.83... If anything, YOU owe ME $9.83 for making me go through all this again!" ON HOLD. Account Management picks up and closes Savings and Checking and waives $9.83. ON HOLD again. Have to listed to prerecorded message. Wants to put me ON HOLD to transfer me to Credit Card services! I demand a supervisor . ON HOLD.... Supervisor is apologetic but frustratingly disaffected. Supposedly all my accounts are closed now, but I can't be sure because they're having issues with their website '502 Bad Gateway.' You just can't make this sheezio up!

    I have been doing business with them for over 40 years! They know banking inside and out. They…read moreprovide great savings plans with the best interest around. Their staff are super helpful, accurate and speedy. The environment is well designed and the banking hours are convenient. I wish they would bring back the coin counting machine; rolling coins yourself is very time consuming and difficult to do with hand arthritis and poor eyesight.
