Excellent daily; Weak mortgages

Found daily banking experiences excellent. Folks at Urbana branch were always friendly and helpful. No, repeat NO, charges on daily banking activities; even got interest on checking accounts (small but much better than fees).

Regarding mortgages, weak experience. Bought a townhouse last year for investment purposes. Talked with SS about the mortgage. They wanted a larger down payment and a larger interest rate. Found they would not budge on those inordinate values compared with other banks. Naturally, I got the mortgage from another bank. Since I do not establish a new mortgage often, this negative aspect is only a small portion of the overall, in my opinion.

Worst Bank Ever.

I was so not impressed with this bank.

They charge over and over serivce charges for a Health Savings account.. The service charges are more than the interest rate.

Then I closed the account, when I went to cash the check, they billed me a service charge again and then charged me an overdraft fee.. Now they want to report me to the credit people

You can't be rid of them. Close your account now if you have before it's too late.

LAZY employees at nearly every branch.

They seem to move the same lazy employees from branch to branch. I swear it is the same lady at the gaithersburg branch that i used to see at the olney branch. she should be fired. she never smiles!!! I think it is a bad place to work as well as a bad place to bank. I only banked w/ them for 4 yrs but i closed my acct after i saw an employee crying at the rockville branch may 2010. i over heard the branch manager in montgomery village talking about her supervisor brian within ear shot of me while i was filling out my dep slip.
