New York Community Bank-Inbound Division

New York Community Bank aka Garden State Community Bank: Perhaps the worst bank I’ve ever banked with. Their on-​line banking is down A LOT (as in weekly). Their staff in most of the branches (ESPECIALLY Pine in Union) are tedious. You will never leave a branch after a visit not feeling exhausted. Service varies wildly from branch to branch. (Pacific in Ironbound Newark is one of their few good ones … but you shouldn’t have to plan your day around finding the least awful branch.) Their fees are crazy and there is a VERY good reason that the State of New York took action against them for consumer violations including balance manipulation. They were convenient as they had branches close to where I needed to be, but moved to a neighborhood bank & NEVER regretted it for a minute. I really can’t say one good thing about this bank. I think they’re borderline criminal on a lot of things they do.
