The number I saw on the suspicious message showed as a scam number from my online research, but the manager insisted that it's the right number just because it says "welcome to Bank of America" when you call it.

Our experienced is pretty much on theme with other customers and that's very unfortunate. We had an…read moreappointment at 2:30 and at first waited 10 mins since the banker Xcyl was helping another customer (this time overlapped with our confirmed appointment). We were only acknowledged by one of the tellers who then communicated with us that Xcyl had another call that was being prioritized and that we would have to wait another 20 mins to be helped. This is completely unacceptable and bad customer service. The only reason why I'm giving two stars is the teller who was kind enough to communicate with us about what was going on. We will not be returning to this location, but Chase please get it together.

Update: the folks at this branch reached out to me to address my concerns, which I appreciated. The…read morebranch staff were very friendly and responsive. The issues that were in their power to fix they did. Some of the Provident-wide system issues (e.g. changes making it more difficult to report problem charges) were out of their hands, but they did pass on my concerns to the appropriate people. I am grateful to the folks in this branch, while still having reservations about some of the larger shifts within how Provident handles certain functions.

The teller I spoke to this week asked me to repeat myself 4 times even though I spoke clearly the first time. I've also seen people attempting to bend down so they can speak into the gap below the guards. Please either drill holes in the guards or hand me a megaphone the next time I go in or only hire tellers who have 'Dumbo' sized ears and car hear through the plastic. Also, the teller I spoke to had no idea what a debit card was when I asked what the service fee for the cards is. Thankfully I don't have to use this branch very often.

I got a letter from them saying that they had signed me up for Identity Theft Protection product that I never signed up for - got two letters so they signed me up for this twice and they are going to reimburse me for the costs of this. I was supposed to receive the payments in January 2024 but have not yet and when I call to follow up the payments are still pending. So they cannot even make restitution in a timely manner. I am glad I switched from this bank. I am usually a very low key customer and had banked with them for years but this signing people up for products that they do not want is totally unethical and a really poor business practice. It is dishonest. About this branch though - I alway got good service here and the people are really nice so I will add stars for that. The tellers here are really nice. I am adding a star for the people who work in this branch.

I was profiled and discriminated against at this bank branch. I was written a personal check to…read moredeposit as work for hire, and after being inappropriately asked "what did you do for all this money?!" I respectfully replied "I don't need to disclose that information" and added "do you also ask white businessmen what they do for money when they bring in a big check?" They then told me "make sure you know what to do with this money, don't spend it all before it clears because you'll be responsible for that should this be fraud." They also asked me 3 times if I knew who wrote me the check, AFTER I disclosed that the person who wrote the check contacted his bank ahead of time to clear and approve this check number AND dollar amount. THE DISRESPECT HERE. WOW. Unfortunately they then lied to my face, told me I could deposit the check and gave me the dates when the funds would clear into my account. I thought everything was alright because I walked away with a receipt in hand, all to then be chased down on the street being told "you have to come back so we can contact the senders bank" .... But they already processed my check officially! I sat for 20-30 more minutes all for them to tell me "we made a decision as a bank that we cannot deposit this check after" .... Which was a load of crap. I've banked with Wells Fargo for over 20 years, and they just lost a customer. They will be receiving an official complaint as I'm filing a discrimination claim. This kind of treatment and judgement is unacceptable.
