“I drive in from Suisun/Fairfield area and although it can be a long drive depending on traffic, it’s worth it. The service is great the staff friendly, knowledgeable and personable.”
“Amazing bank, especially for small business! In the early years they gave my business a line of credit, when BofA wouldn't even consider it. They see me and my business as real people, have believed in us and have increased our credit line over the years, helping us grow. They truly are a community bank. If you want a bank that sees you as a person, knows your name and works with you individually, than Community Bank of the Bay is for you! I highly recommend them! PS. Now that my business had grown BofA has tried to get our business back, but because Community Bank was there for me when the business was small, and when times were tough I am sticking with them! They have earned and deserve my loyalty.”
“Other than being closed not just for holidays, but random days not holidays. 4 days to cash a check that would've salvaged the weekend, but no, 5 days, weds-mon. I hope the other patrons we're able to have turkey dinner. Of course, the ATM was unavailable to deposit check and I'm not even sure it would dispense any of the money anyway, if if if. If I had anything else to do, I might not be here snivelling onto the phone. Thanx guys, at least McDs was open and didn't mind change bucket payment. So much for laundry quarters. Fun fun fun.”

“This bank helped my small business tremendously, we’re are a small mom and pop plant shop here in the Bay Area and they were able to help us get funding through the ppp loan program. This not only helped us to survive during these times but we we’re able to thrive and grow our business. I highly recommend this bank, special shout-out to Catelyn who made the process easy and super quick. If I could give ten stars I would. Highly recommend!!!!”
“Great experience with the teller line at this bank. Everyone is so friendly and efficient at what they do to help their customers. Great location by Bart and parking for customers during the day.”

“During times of worry, doubt or 2nd guessing however one spends their earned monies....it's knowing, however wealthy one is....the amount keeps you achieving. Never have i taken a crash coarse in botany or physics, I've learned my intangibles from those closest, everyday 100 max out, those in the wrong or right....simple distractions....wanting what's a dream, sometimes let go....shoot for the best and it will work out....doubt every move one makes....but dont forget...no matter sides...never become predictable....unless time is the factor....recharge your emotions....and tell others your goals, yes my core might disagree ..but it does build healthy competition...and at the end of it all, yes, yes....you all know it ...We Aint Giving A Damm Thing Back!!!!!They Are Just Going to Take It.

“Gregory saved my day!!! I was being so patient and getting no results??? He handled my problem and left the door open for follow through! Promote him plsThis is still my favorite bank! The bank manager called me this morning with a reasonable explanation, I was very appreciative! I was intially patient because I had faith. Mistakes happen, and this bank has had my back in the past and I have theirs! I appreciate a neighborhood bank that has me feeling like I live in a small town! Blessings”

“The new branch manager Maria is amazing! She used to be in another branch helped me on notary service and its nice to see her got promoted to be a branch manager! She is really nice and willing to help people from her heart. Best banking experience for me!”
“I had the greatest experience with Patelco with the help of Ms.Jackie Jordan.I had become a member of Patelco services a few months ago and as my financial advisor Ms. Jordan assured me that Patelco would help me every step of the way. When my situation changed and I needed to buy a car online and being computer illiterate I went to her and she graciously spent over thirty minutes helping me purchase my dream car. She saw past my insecurities and talked me through it. She is a beacon of truth and help that we don't see everyday.I am grateful to of met her those four or five months ago and look forward to doing business with her and Patelco for years to come”

“I have been wanting to join this credit union for a long time . Finally I decided to go and become a member. They have really great customer service . Eugene assisted me and was very patient and answered any questions I had . He was also very personable . He even sent me a handwritten personalized thank you card. Who writes hand written thank you cards anymore . That's amazing !”
“Vice President Nathan Walters and his team do a great job of providing customer-centric community-accessible banking with a personalized touch, efficient customer service, and pride in their work. We particularly enjoy working with private client banker Ryan Kearney! Chase is definitely on the right track with expanding branch footprint while other big banks close locations and lay off employees.”
“We absolutely love the staff here! They are so friendly & kind. They know our names & say hi to our 3 year old every time. It feels like a small town bank. And there’s rarely ever a line.”

“Great service! When you don’t have a local bank, cashing a check can be bothersome and difficult. The team at F&M Bank were kind, professional and eager to help with my payroll check that was drawn on an F&B account.Such a welcome change from what I have experienced elsewhere.”

“First time here and honestly it was a great experience. Not sure why there are negative reviews, but personally I found staff friendly and not only that, they went above and beyond to helping me out. I want to personally thank Huan Nguyen for his amazing customer service and getting me to the right person to talk to and another huge thanks to Celina Lopez who went above and beyond to helping me today and explaining everything that I needed to know and even providing me with extra information, truly appreciate it. They're the most professional people I met amazing team! Keep up the great work !”

“From now on, I'm never banking at big banks anymore! I switched from Chase to Metropolitan Bank and am loving it. The employees are nice and even remember my name. During the first few months, when I was settling in and forgot to make a payment, they called me to remind me so I would not incur a late fee. Now that's customer service! Their rates are also much better than what you can get at other banks. I told my sister and now she's transferring all her accounts here too.”
“Super awesome team. The majority of them are bilingual. Very patient and capable. They make what otherwise is a thankless chore into what amounts to be a pleasant experience.
They don't have any of those Chase suckers out though, and we all know that the blue ones are absolutely fire. That's why I only gave them four stars”
“Daisy was personable, helpful, knowledgeable and efficient. I couldn't ask for more. She was excellent. Thank you, Daisy, and Bridge Bank and my colleague and CASA partner, Dale Marie Golden!”
