    Neutral environment - not “cold” but not “warm,” either. Though, they do play music through a speaker the lobby, it’s (thankfully) not elevator music to put you to sleep, but not so “loud” (such as metal,) that it’s off-putting. The staff are polite and courteous, but I will say that I did have a semi-unpleasant when I went to open a second savings account - now a handful of years back as I write this. The gal who helped me open the account was borderline pushy when it came to investments, as I told her I had my retirement account already set up outside the bank, and that I did so because I knew the Rule of 72 and thus chose to have my long-term savings not at the bank and my money invested in the global market (exactly where the bank also invests: the global market.) She gently, but unwelcomed, still tried to “invite” me to set up my retirement/other investments with the bank. 🫤😑 Other than that, I mostly use this branch when I’m in the downtown area, or passing through, to make withdrawals. I have overall positive experiences with each teller. I request certain denomination breakdown, and they’ve never refused me.

    Just went to this location to try to close my account as I was waiting outside the main doors. One of the staff opens the door and ask how can I help you. I tell her I would like to close my account today due to lack of customer service in the bank deciding it's okay to play with my money reversing multiple transactions of up to $800 when I was only $200 negative in my account. The lady then tells me. Oh well, we can't close your account through the drive-thru and our office is closed due to inclement weather. Yet she was able to open the door just to tell me I had to go to another office to do so. I then go to the South Salem location to let them know I would like to close my account and the manager of this office ask me well. Are there any reasons I can give you to stay with us? I told her my experience with them playing with my money reversing multiple transactions of up to $800 when I was only $200 negative in my account and how downtown office told me that I had to go to another branch to close my account because they are unable to do it through drive-thru. And the manager tells me oh that's weird. They should have been able to do it through the drive-thru. I don't know why they did not. All I got was a sorry. That does not fix the gas. I wasted after already losing money over my past experience. Columbia Bank decided to make me waste even more money by having me drive a 20 minute drive. I highly advise to never do business with this bank. They show no respect and no customer service whatsoever. Chase on the other hand shows outstanding customer service and if you provide them with a coupon code that you can obtain online they will deposit $225 into your account after your first direct deposit.
