The teller was not friendly and was not helpful. They did not have the funds to cash my check and was insulting when I asked where another branch was. I am so glad I do not do regular buisness with People's Bank especially when they have people like that working for them. There is so many people looking for jobs that deserve one, and they keep a miserable person like that !

Avoid this bank. In the last 5 years the following has occurred:

unable to delete a joint bank account, leaving my info available to an former relationship. Took almost a year to solve. Multiple atm card replacements due to loose " account compromises " which left me updating all online account repeatedly - several days of work each time. If you bank with peoples expect ramdom card replacements at any time, several times a year. Cannot wire money or replace checks without going into a branch location. Customer service people have been ok, but some have been extremely rude. Very unpleasant. I am switching. I've had it.

I went in to deposit a check under my new married name and brought my marriage license with me. My other credentials are still being processed. The teller did not know what a marriage license was nor know how to read it. Furthermore, did not understand the fact through vital statistics that I am able to use my married last name with proof of my marriage license. After standing at the counter for 10 minutes while the teller checked with multiple parties who also seemed dumbfounded I decided to close my account immediately. Prior to this negative experience, my husband and I opened a joint checking account at CHASE bank, who did not hassle me whatsoever.

Regarding the people's united bank -. People's united bank and its board of directors put my college son and myself out of business leaving my son $8,000 dollars in debt. This happen when i exposed them for fraud and obstruction of justice during the the four month long documentary on identity theft called i see dumb people's. Bing or google people's united bank vs. James hastings or watch these you tube videos for proof of what i say. People's united bank and the state of connecticut also tried and failed to put james hastings into fed pen for 10 yrs on trumped up extortion charges in order to cover up the worst breach in banking history. Do not be fooled by c. E. O. Jack barnes and his corp. Thugs - they are cowards who will not hesitate to crush family and anyone who gets in the way of their greedy bonuses.

It is really to bad that Peoples Bank bought out Danvers bank as well as Beverly National. Though I do realize times have changed. My first experience was of course when Danvers Bank bought Bev National Bank and all of or ATM cards/ and any accounts we had there were being transferred to new account numbers. So naturall everyone has to take time off from work and get there to get new pin numbrs for their temps card ect. Then People's Bank announced they were buying Danvers Bank. The whole transaction process starts again , take tim eoff from work get to bank for new cards ect. Then I get these checks in the mail with hardly any deposit slips and when I went to Peoples bank to make a simple deposit and was told the numbers are wrong that people s bank made a mistake on the deposit slips and I would have to pay to reorder new deposit slip at my cost of 25.00. Ok now somethings not right here. So I called Customer service , got the same story until I finally argued with a manager and she hummed and hawed me saying ok finally no cost to you . Then I have a 200.00 loan attached to my checking account so if I go over at all on a check the revolving loan will adjust into my checking account if needed. have had it for years on end , well I have an 18.00 balance which would have been paid off the following month on this revolving loan and I guess People's bank got bored because they decided to charge me 35.00 for an annual fee of having it with no pre notices sent to me about any charges. This bank is nothing but a bunch of crooks and their customer service people are extremely rude and not helpful. Unfortunatly I will be visiting them as soon as I can get time off from work to withdraw all of my funds and look into another normal local bank.

FYI to people going on vacation. PEOPLES UNITED BANK can and did cancel my ATM card without cause.. Long story, short...they sent mail notification to my house 2000 miles away about a possible fraud. No phone call.I called them, they still would not reinstate the card, I faxed them my info as they requested, they promised to overnite a card, it was sent regular mail and arrived in Lexington, Ky after I had left. So, unable to obtain cash had to shorten my trip and drive home, no card still. Imagine it happening to you, maybe overseas....how screwed would you be. I am SWITCHING BANKS , you may want to do the same.

the people that work there are very nice when i ask them questions about any banking business i do or have done,recent or in the past, since i have been acquainted with this bank. i am satisfied with doing future business with them, also. i would recommend them to anyone i know or someone that wishes to have good relations with a good bank such as this. i have not had any problems with them,since i have been a new customer of there's. everyone should check out this bank, as they are very helpful to everyone that goes there.

I have been to the bank in person and have also called the bank to clarify the 7.00 per month they charge on my parents account to cash my fathers government retirement check. They said if it was a payroll check they would not charge, its a retirment check . I was assured that they would not charge this fee again , but guess what they did...

I hate this bank and going to move all the money to another bank so I do not have to deal with them again

Customer service is awful.

A customer service nightmare from the off. Every time you call the 'service center' you are basically fobbed off and told to go into the branch. When you visit the branch you are fobbed off and asked to call the 'service center' Information on the same issue given by the service center and the branch contradict each other.

In the end I closed all my accounts after they told me the quickest they could do an 'instant transfer' was 72 business hours. Funny when I was closing my accounts they managed to sort out the mess - too late for them though - I wasted too many hours being passed from pillar to post.

So now my accounts been 'closed' for over 2 weeks - and I get a letter from them telling me they honored a payment for $6 and now have to pay a $35 fee - despite me not having an account with them. I call the number on the letter, only to be passed to the branch, only to be left on hold, only then to leave my number for them to call me back later....zzzzzzz...... you guessed it - they never called back. I'm sure they would be happy to make a mark on my credit history for a $6 payment they should have never authorized.

I'd never recommend them, nor will I go back.
