My mom & dad were old Parkvale customers; I had gone to the Sq Hill Branch for some advice on easy access to the CD's that were now housed with them . I was advised to change to a savings account and could access as needed. Well on my next trip to bank I was told every transaction would cost me $10. The teller who set this up was in ear shot of this entire conversation with the teller and myself and said NOTHING. I emailed the manager "Steve" and he has yet to reply back to my complaint. I had hoped for better treatment; but suppose moving aoubt $30,000 in CD's may make them take notice.

I recently moved and the Heidelberg branch happens to be closest to my house. I have been to the bank about four times and i won't being going back. The Tellers are not very pleasent, you can tell they do not want to be there. They actually make me feel very uncomfortable for making large deposites.

I have been with First National for just about a year and have used four of the numerous branches in our area at one time or another. Each time, my wait time is minimal, the tellers are knowledgeable and friendly, and the service is top notch. I switched from PNC because of the high merchant account rates and what seemed like arbitrary and unexpected fees.

I would recommend First National to anyone looking for superior service and multiple easily accessible branches.

after beiing a customer for over 4 years I stopped in to cash a money order that my dad sent me from Myrtle beach ,S.C---It was a United States postal money order. After taking it at the drive in window i wated a few minutes,then was asked for ID. I gave my drivers license and waited again at least 5 minutes. I was then told I had to deposit the entire money order which was for 200.00 and wait for 7 buisness days before iI could recieve any of it. I told them I would take it to another bank. Then they said "well all of our banks have the same policy"----I then said "I have another bank--and will try there"--theygave the money order back and I then drove to First Commonwealth bank. I again went through the drive through window. The money order was cashed with no questions asked. I live just down the street--from 1st national bank--on the same street as the bank,yet I had to drive on the other side of town to cash the money order. I had told my daughter just weeks earlier to open an account there because she moved to the area---she now will close her account and I will do the same. Thank you First Commonwealth for being the best bank in our area and for treating every customer with respect.
