  I am preparing to close my last account here. Decades long customer thru many name changes and location closings. Before my convenient local branch closed two years ago the new owners sent me many questionnaires and check lists to rate that branch with ?s like 'was I greeted with a smile?'. I felt like a spy. All favorable reviews from me. They closed the branch anyway and the new location was soooo much worse. Most tellers had strong accents; that plus face masks = a real communication problem. Two weeks ago I went there (Syosset) to close a cd. At some point hat branch had been shut down without a word. I walked around the building (10degreesF) to find the new address. The new branch had one teller; while waiting my turn I walked 10 feet to check if the rear entrance worked or had parking. The teller is still with the earlier customer so I'm in no hurry. Then a newer cust enters goes right to the teller. She serves him right away totally blowing me off. Btw the webster (or whatever they call themselves this week) cd interest rate was 0.01% compared to 4+% at rival bank. When I told the webster worker my new cd rate she said rates like that could ruin the economy... Really? Really? Your 0.01% interest rate cannot even buy a lollipop. This Syosset branch is on their third manager in weeks. Ask about that to see how fast they change the subject. The barber shop next door gives more confidence and a lollipop. AND do not answer with 'Response for the owner' .... Too little too late. Treat your customer with respect before they come to close their accounts.

  Really gone downhill since the Sterling acquisition. I kept the minimum balance to avoid a monthly fee, but found they started charging me a monthly fee anyway. I think they changed the requirements somewhere in the fine print. CFPB here we come.
