IMMEDIATELY. That person directs you to the right person for your call. I love this. Service there has always been great. I lived in the valley years ago, and switched when they had a whole bunch of great incentives, like ATM fees refunded, money just for switching and using direct deposit, and interest on my checking account. Still have all those great features now. When I left the valley in 2007, I tried to find another local bank like FSB to switch to. I even opened an account. But their service was lousy and their online banking interface was terrible. So I closed it and stayed with FSB. Almost all my banking is done electronically, so I don't need to be there physically. If I get a live check for deposit, I send it in by mail. So there is zero reason for me to switch. Don't mess with perfection!

Previous credit union was Navy Federal and deposits were always posted by 3 am on the 1st of the month. UMASSFIVE cannot do this. Worst still...they cannot do this on weekends or holidays ! I must wait till someone uploads the systems pending deposit and with Nee Years day falling on Sunday, I had resigned myself to waiting till Monday but my acct show it is pending till Tuesday the 3rd. Very antiquated business!! Also, they offer the cards in dark purple and black ink for the account number. Lol! Can't even read the card number and yes...there are times when it is needed. Since the numbers aren't raised...I don't but I can't even "feel" the numbers. Lucky it's a plastic card and not paper. The staff service is good but wait times can easily back up with only 2 tellers. This is a very small establishment for banking. They really need to automate their direct deposits system for their retired communities especially since they are so keen to sell me their other service.

Please if anyone is reading this DO NOT deposit your IRS refund checks in this bank if you need the money right away!! It's frustrating because it's your money and they act like it's theirs. I wouldn't be surprised if I had to hire a lawyer to solve this problem.. This bank smells like a ponzi scheme!!!

Not only did I receive horrible service when renewing, I got horrible customer service upon closing.... They charged me for taking back my own money because I wanted a check. I was told they charge $5.00 for bank checks so I asked for it to be waved and was told no so then I asked for a regular check and they wouldn't do that either. In 6 decades, living in 5 different states, I've never been charged a fee to get my own money back... Stay away... If they can not afford to wave $5.00 they must be financial hurting.

I was a first time home buyer. I chose this bank over other locals, or larger banks because the…read morevice president who handles the home loans talk to me extensively about Northampton Cooperative being all about personalized service and that I would be hand held through this crazy home buying process. Needless to say, this was not the case. After the initial meeting, I filled out the appropriate paperwork and called the VP to ask her what was next. She said nothing else was needed until I closed. Turns out, this would have been a great time to re-visit the issue of locking in a low interest rate. When I later asked her about this (at almost .5% increase in interest rate), she said that there was no way to keep details in all the open applications straight! I reminded her of our initial conversation about personalized service and hand hold and she just repeating that it was my responsibility and she could not remember all the details on all the applications. I spoke with her supervisor who was utterly unhelpful. She had very little empathy and just kept repeating that all aspects of the application were my responsibility not the VP. Even when I mentioned the personal service etc., she said that she felt the VP had provided me with personalized service! ? At the close of the loan, I was surprised to find that the bank put a hold on the loan until I had home owner insurance in place at least 7 days before closing (never mentioned to me) and then they put another hold on because I needed to pay a full year of insurance in advance. No word to me about either of these things. No word to my real estate attorney, just refusal to move forward. I would never use them again. Although Bank of American may be more corporate, at least I would have been assured of their having a check list to make sure that things moved forward in a timely manner.
