Do not use the thieving lying bastards over at M&T Bank.
These criminals will literally steal tens of thousands of dollars out of your bank accounts for no reason simply because you filed complaints against them with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Federal Trade Commission, NYS Department of Financial Services, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Federal Reserve (which I suggest that you do!)
Let’s go over some of the other reasons that this bank is literally one of the worst banks in the United States, and probably the world:
(1) they have hardly any branches or ATMs in the USA so you have to sometimes travel miles away to either deposit cash or money or even to make a withdrawal without incurring huge ATM fees from other more mainstream banks;
(2) their corporate staff is located in upstate New York which is predominantly run by backwood, backward, and white supremacist racists who hate black and brown people, and crap all over their bank accounts;
(3) their “chief technology officer” Olga Hyman is actually slightly retarded and not only does not have any cognizable or competent technical background whatsoever, but if you piss her off, she will illegally go into your bank account or merchant services account and tamper with or change your passwords without your knowledge or permission, just to f**k with you;
(4) M&T Bank is staffed by thugs and goons like Danny Quiles who literally threaten you with violence if you complain about their sub-standard and shitty products, service, and facilities - they will also gaslight you and try to draw you into a verbal conflict so that they can try and either get you arrested or close your bank account (while stealing your own funds - see above).
As you enquired so I will give you all the details and also I want to tell you the whole story what actually happened and how I resolved the case myself and told my bank manager(Ashmita) and online individuals but still they denied my request and they did not have answers to my questions.
The transaction took place on October 30,2020 when I was sleeping in morning and I got a text message from bank that your transaction has successfully transferred so I was shocked to see that message and at once I went to my bank and told them the whole scene so the manager(Ashmita) she is so much uncooperative that she told me that whatever has happened has happened now you can dispute this transaction so I did but the thing which I did not like is she was saying to take a check of your remaining balance and go to any other bank and open an account so I said this is not fair this is how you treat your customers but she was being loud and rude with me but on that time I was worried and did as she said and I opened new account in same bank and changed all my credentials.
After that I waited for the claim and called them so they said your claim has denied and the reason is that transaction is from your trusted device and when I asked them which device because I use my cell phone only and no other device so they were unable to tell me then I did dispute again and that got denied too then I contacted sheriff’s office and from there the detective Aaron C.Lim #3039 contacted me and my case number is SO200018353 and you can call and verify yourself, he contacted me and started research on my case and after his research he told me that he got the IP addresses and the IP address was from new York and your account was login from New York and then I told him that I have never ever been to New York and I live in Virginia detective told me that your online banking account was signed in for like 20 minutes and after that I called online banking third time and file a dispute for third time and told them the whole police report results that it was not me it was someone else so on that ground they filed my claim for third time but again it got denied and the reason is same then I went to bank and talked to the same manager so she said that she cannot do anything you can call online individuals and when I call them and ask they give me the same answer then i asked them is there any department who can listen to my request and solve my issue, but she said you can call online and then I called again and asked them she said sorry sir we cannot do anything.
I said it’s my hard-earned income and now in this pandemic situation majority of people have lost their jobs so I need my money its hard time going on so she was just listening to me and saying I understand but I cannot do anything. One more thing I found that there was a limit of $2500 otherwise that person would have emptied my account and I would be broke on the road.
That’s the whole case now please help me get my money back and I am in need and that transaction was not from me You can contact me for any further details.
As their stock prices are dropping, so are their customers, and not by choice. Something is very strange with M&T Bank. My branch is the one located in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. One of the last days that I was in there, before they had drive-up service only, there were people in there pulling out their entire savings. An older woman, in front of me, was pulling out her money and they were trying to convince her not to. When I finally got to the bank teller, with my own issue, they referred me to a manager. M&T had closed all my business accounts and personal accounts. No reason was given on their letters, and all my lines of credit, which I had never used, were also closed.
My mother, Eileen Raymond is 94 years old. She has had accounts with this bank since 1954 when it was Provident Savings Bank.
In February 2018, she noticed that she had not received a 1099 needed for the IRS and taxes. She called the bank. They refused to provide any information, because they said she had been using a different address for 13 months. She visited her branch at Wilkens Plaza. She spent nearly 3 hours with them, as she had to call Social Security, Baltimore Gas and Electric and others.
My mother had over $200,000 in this account. Apparently an employee noticed my mother’s age, and her lack of due diligence with this account. This was clearly an attempt by a M & T Bank employee to commit fraud.
We called the police. The bank gave no explanation how this happened or who was responsible. We made a complaint to their corporate office in Buffalo.
We demanded an investigation. The bank in turn demanded a formal letter from us. When we inquired why, they said they needed a letter to pursue a security matter. I said, “Wouldn’t the bank want to investigate their own lack of security?” Naturally, they could not give me an answer.
They have caused my elderly mother 3 months of grief with no end in sight. My mother has not even received a formal apology from anyone.
PLEASE DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS BANK. They did just make a mistake. They are successfully covering up the theft and fraud by M & T.
I invite anyone to contact me for additional information.
Joe Desiderio and M&T Bank constantly try to sell us false advertising and pressure us for our local business! How many calls can a person get a day asking for the same equity line of credit and attempt to bate us in for continued business partnerships. This is why we decided to seek out other lenders like Wells Fargo and TD Bank. Never agian do we use M & T Bank....they pressure too much and never allow us to just be a customers. Never again.
M & T Bank charges not one but two overraft fees of $37.50 where most banks will charge one. And they dont tell you this when you open the account.
They make you jump through many hoops if you wish to file a dispute.
Even if your account is inactive for 2 months and you no longer use the account, and a random charge comes thru of any amount from 5.00 dollars, they will charge you with a $37.50 fee as many times as a charge hits the account whether or not the debit is authorized.
Other banks automatically close your account if inactive for 30 days to protect the consumer.
When you make a bill payment, the actual day you make it is not reflected on the statement. It will show as 1-2 days after which is hindering to keeping accurate financial records.
I finally had to close my account. With all of these issues and their inconvenient banking hours, it was frustrating.
M & T bank however makes great profits off customers with their fees but they dont give much back.
$20 to cash a personal check at M & T Bank is quite extreme and a major rip off. The only way to avoid the fee is to open an account so they can further charge you a fee for said account.
If you think being a customer of Hudson City Savings Bank was bad, try being an employee especially if you are black or latino. Every single member of senior management was a white person, no blacks or latinos in that group. Corporate headquarters at 80 West Century Road, Paramus, NJ 07652, 4th floor executive level from Denis Salamone down - completely white males, except of course for the corporate secretary, a white lady Veronica Olszewski. But dont forget about the housekeeper carrying the lunch trays up and down, she was a latina lady. I guess with the latina lady they thought they were doing "diversity".
In Mortgage Servicing, once again, all white male senior managers, V. Barry Corridon, Bill Lacalamito, Jonathan Toder, Chris Mahler, Tom Laird oh and one lady, for good measure, Bernadette Zelop, of course white. Every other important department also all white, human resources, IT, you name it. Oh wait, I think the mailroom had a black lady manager....a miracle.
When the merger was announced, all the M&T people who came down from Buffalo, NY again, all white. Not a single black or other minority face in the crowd.
What can we expect from a historically racist bank such as Hudson City Savings Bank, who just days before the merger paid $25 million dollars in fines after they were found guilty of mortgage lending discriminiation and purposely avoiding doing business in minority neighborhoods. No different for M&T Bank, who in September 2015 had to settle with the Fair Housing Justice Center for $485,000. All a small sum of cash for these guys. If you look at the millions these guys walked away with when the bank merged, they certainly were laughing at all the workers and their pittance severance packages.
There were a lot of well qualified minority people working at Hudson City, some with advanced degrees, but of course if there is a policy of insitutionalized racism no member of a minority group will ever advance no matter what qualifications they have.
Any person of color or a minority ethinc group should turn their back on Hudson City now M&T Bank, 2 historically racist banks. M&T states how they are "committed to diversity" but if you look at the facts, just more lies.
