I love all the staff and my Kuvasz puppy, Stefan, has been welcomed by the staff here.  They have watched him grow from a nine week old puppy to this now 75 pounds at six months.  They even gave him a nickname, The Cloud.

The bank offered a unique competitive rate but clearly understands service. They know me by name on the second call; provide money and slips to my car with COVID precautions; think through to solutions.

This morning I checked my account to see what funds were available for my grocery shopping trip later this evening. As I logged in, I was horrified to see I had yet TWO MORE OVERDRAFT FEE's both at 37.50 each. To my dismay I called the 1.800 number to speak to a representative  because I had the funds in my savings account. The lady gave me such a ridiculous excuse, blaming me the customer for not selecting the correct account in which my funds would transfer over. After several minutes of listening to her excuse I decided to close out this account and switch banks. This IS HEARTBREAKING, I joined Webster after my father died because it was HIS BANK, I thought this was a Bank designed to help families, instead it takes $75.00 from me, a single mother for NO REASON.

All you needed to do instead of speaking with someone on their 800 number is to call the branch office and ask for the manager or assistant manager, explain the situation and the $37.00 overdraft fees would have disappeared. It would have taken less time than to write an OMG I am so disappointed message and you would have gotten satisfaction. Unless you make a habit of bouncing checks, the people at Webster Bank are very forgiving. Call the branch next time.

Nice staff except one person everytime I go to make a transaction with Shannon it’s a problem. Like being in another Country. So I pulled my account out as did most of my family.

I just read the bank's response to the woman who was charged twice for overdraft.  It was not professional or kind and was written in a punitive manner.  An experienced professional coule have handled it in a much more positive way as well as using it to teach others an alternative method of solving the problem.

I have used Webster Bank for 30 years and have always had positive experiences.  I was very disappointed to read the response provided.
Thankful for a change in management

The new branch manager and assistant manager truly understand customer service. They go above and beyond to provide excellent customer service. I wish more companies provide the service this branch does.

I've been a Webster Customer for about 10 years now.  I have had extremely good luck dealing with this particular branch. We had a situation come up where another financial institution had a large amount of our money and gave us a stunning $2.06 in interest. No one from that institution contacted me about a better return on investment or a higher yield.  I went to Webster to put the balance of the money in a holding account prior to investing it. The manager, Kelley Hefferan, came over and showed me a high yield account that would actually give me some interest over the short term.  The staff at that branch has always been pleasant and helpful.

I love this bank, especially the chase avenue branch, theres this slim, brunette woman who is quite possibly the prettiest woman in the world. I would love to tell her but too scared in front of employees.

The branch manager arrogantly admits that he yells at ANYONE who yells at him either on the phone or in person.  Is this exceptional customer service?  What if this happened to an elderly person?  Is it ever okay, under any circumstances, to yell at a customer?

I went there in early October of 2014 for a bank funds letter, and was assisted by a friendly, professional and extremely lovely young lady named Chantelle.  She was both graceful and professional and helped me fully with the bank letter which I needed to have written. I would highly recommend this bank and branch of professional folks!

The particular branch in question once had a rogue employee on his own create an account in my name. Weirdly, he put a $1,000 (from an unknown source) into the account. I spent it without even knowing its was not mine. However, the account came with overdraft protection and a line of credit and ultimately the bank began charging me and even reporting me to the credit bureaus. They refused to acknowledge what happened or correct what they did.

I walked in there today to make a simple deposit.  There were four tellers at four windows.  Not one even looked up to see if they could be of help.  Not one said hello.  I had a similar experience with the same branch--but different tellers last week.  Who in the world is training these people?  They have terrible customer service, aren't particularly friendly when they do finally deign to provide the needed service, and at the conclusion try to sell you a credit card.  I absolutely HATE going in there.  Getting ready to go elsewhere.

Would not give $500 at closing for military

I worked on a refi for my in-laws in December 2012-February 2013. It not only took forever to close, but we kept getting more paperwork to sign after the closing. The WORST part is that the rep, Kimberly Lynch, just happened to "forget" to tell us that military (active or retired) get $500 back at loan closing.  I found out a week or so after the closing while looking at Webster's website for an answer to a question I had.  When I asked her about that, she said she simply forgot to ask during the assessment since she was talking with me and not them and that they won't make good on the money back!  Oh, OK-no problem.  The bank withheld $500 from a couple of seniors, one of which is going through cancer treatment-no problem that you didn't do your job!  BIG thanks for serving our country!  Now the loan was sold to Fannie Mae a week before the first payment was to begin.  Webster Bank is not to be trusted.

This is one of the most inept banks I have ever dealt with. Total confusion with simple processes. No communication between branches.  Inability to explain banking notices and then shirking of responsibility. I don't see how this bank can survive.
