Astoria Federal Savings & Loan Association

Never have a problem since i been a member with the bank for 5 years now… the service is ok

The building is pretty small. They have 1 ATM located inside a tiny hallway that leads directly to the rest of the bank. I don’t like this ATM placement because people always almost bump into you when they are entering the bank as this is the main entrance. Parking is usually hard to come by unless you park in the train station parking lot which is across the street; however, you take a risk parking here without a permit. The line is also pretty long, and as some other people say, the average age for the customers here is probably 65.
Non-​specific branch gripes: this place has pretty awful interest rates. They charge you $ 5.00 a month if your savings account dips below $ 500 and they do not tell you why on your statement. The online account features are sparse and difficult to use.
I will probably be taking my banking elsewhere from now on. I genuinely feel bad about this as I think people should avoid banking with the national banks whenever possible due to their skeevy business practices.
