Consumer Narrative
I recently opened an account with M & T bank in hopes of switching over and finding a new bank to keep my savings with less fees involved. I made a deposit into my account and They held my check for 7 days which is completely normal. I had no worries since it was a cashiers check that I requested from my previous bank. Of course on the first of the month when my bills are due they block my debit card and my account. I have no access to my online account. I called customer service and the fraud department only to be transferred around numerous times over and over. They advised me to step into a branch & when I got to the branch drive thru and requested to close my account the teller was rude and giving me a hard time. I do not care about any fees because my account is under 6 months old please just close this account and return my funds and I will find a new bank to build a relationship with. M & T and their business practices are ridiculous
