I have both Business and a Personal account at the Maitland branch. They are excellent and go out of their way to help if there is a problem. The problems I've had, were with their internet banking. It's good, but when there is a problem, their internet people go into denial and refuse to help. Thankfully the Branch sorts it out. The only other failing I've experienced, which unfortunately still continued, is that their head office makes virtually all the decisions. The Branch are really automations with no real authority. But, overall, they are much better than other Banks I've been with over the years.

I've written a detailed piece on this particular branch and its people prior. Being in the financial sector myself, I've found Seacoast to be one of the industry's bright spots. They've exceeded my expections, both personal interface (eagerness to please) and general operational policy. Small community banks are the way to go, they know they are not too big to fail, so they follow time-proven banking rules that keep them out of hot water and keep YOUR tax dollars secure. If you follow basic, common-sense rules yourself, you'll likely be as satisfied as I am.
I recommend this bank to all of my clients! As mentioned before, you 'are not just a number' here. Free checking, too.... I haven't found anything I don't like.

The Maitland location randomly closes for employee meetings. Recently I went to the bank to make a depositand they were close causing a check to bounce. They REFUSED to reverse the charge.

I've been with this bank for 2 years. There is never a random closure for meetings. The few they have had were noticed days before hand. I know because I have business in the building every day! Also, the drive through is always open during the day, so your comment does not ring true. It seems that you just couldn't be bothered going to the drive through when you found the office closed.

Staff are very helpful and pleasant.
They offer free checking and the checks were also free and no required minimum deposit.

...and Seacoast has coffee and cookies.

When this bank does a dispute they give you the run around and NEVER get nothing settled. Very poor customer service in relation to disputes. I will be banking elsewhere cause when it comes to charges not authorized and you ask your bank for help they should help you not continue to give you the run around for months, I will NOT recommend anyone to this bank. They are not about customer service at all.

No worse than any other Bank when it comes to disputes on unauthorized charges from Debit Cards. Different from regular credit cards. None of the banks tell you that they take virtually no responsibility for such charges. To make them correct a false charge, you actually have to file a law suit. Then they pay up together with lawyers fees. But most people don't know that and just complain like you. Seacoast as I said are no worse than any of the others, except they are smaller and therefore more likely to cave in faster to pressure in those circumstances than the National Banks.
