Banks in Jersey City, NJ

“The Manager Nicole is wonderful. She was a big help, she's a beautiful soul inside and out. I'll look forward to working with this branch in the future.”

“Aiesha was fantastic!! Was able to cash my savings bond in that Chase would not cash due to the face value being too high. Although I had to open an account (min only $1!), I look forward to being a new customer. Bank has many other conveniences as well that I wouldn’t be able to get at Chase.”

“I come into this location a lot. I live in a building with coin operated laundry machines, so I frequently see the tellers at the front.

The tellers - particularly Mayra - always offer excellent customer service. Mayra always has a smile, is friendly, and remembers that I come in just for quarters. Today she recognized my voice from a phone call when I called in for the notary service.

This was my first time using any banking services at this location beyond speaking with the tellers and I experienced the worst customer service that I have had anywhere in years. The notary, Devi, was fine. However, the woman working the customer service desk, Eliza, was either incompetent or purposely doing a poor job with me in particular. I walked up to her desk and was asked to take a seat immediately because she was working with someone else. 15 minutes passed. Not only was I not checked in, but another customer was seen by the notary during this time. As soon as another customer arrived pestering Eliza to be seen, I realized I needed to make my presence known. I let her know I was here to see the notary, she looked at the form that I needed notarized, and again told me to have a seat without checking me in. After 10 minutes, I asked Eliza if the notary had been notified that I was waiting, as it seemed like she was free, and Eliza lied saying that she was not free and that the notary had been notified. Finally after nearly 45 minutes, the notary came out. The notary had no idea I had been waiting, but came out to get her 1 pm appointment, at which time Eliza notified Devi that I had been waiting for a notary and had previously called in and had been notified that I would not need an appointment.

I'm leaving 4 stars because one bad employee shouldn't warrant a bad review, but this level of poor customer service is indicative of poor management at this location. It seems like Bank of America probably got lucky with employees like Mayra and Devi, however, if the level of service is not consistent across the board, that does not say much about the management of this establishment. As this neighborhood grows, I hope this Bank Of America location can keep up.”

“Appreciate the personal experience with Claudia Thurman. She has helped me navigate the loan process and has been available whenever I called. She makes LSFCU a pleasure to work with.”

“Can't rate this branch enough. As someone moving from overseas I was getting frustrated with the other banks. Christian (or Christian, I didn't get a card) saw me immediately, was extremely helpful, and in no time at all, I was set up with an account and debit card. Thank you so much!”

“Every time that I’ve had to do banking within this branch, I have had only ever positive experiences. The staff no matter who I have engaged with have been warm, helpful and friendly. Sometimes there are queues, but when are there never queues in a bank branch. They try their hardest to help everyone and to give the time to the people that they are with. I have to give a real special shoutout to Sara who has every time been there to help me and has always made myself other customers that I have seen feel comfortable and welcomed. A real personalized service that you honestly do not get every where and is rare to find nowadays. My kudos to Sara and the rest of the Team for always being great!”

“We used Selfreliance to get mortgage. The service was great. Everyone we had to deal with was very helpful and courteous. They literally went out of the way to make sure to complete the process quickly and to our satisfaction. Plus the interest rate was much better than any other place we checked. Definitely recommend to use Selfreliance.”

“The staff was very cooperative and disciplined. The only issue was with the system of bank which lags most of the time.
Overall satisfied with the customer service”

“Excellent service from Mrs victoria crypto,victoria dealt with everything for my bitcoin Investment and ensured all my withdrawal were quick and efficient.Would highly recommend victoria to everyone who is having difficulty trading or have been scammed before like myself.”

“This M and T location is the best ever! I have been dealing with the staff here for a number of years and must say they are kind, professional, knowledgeable and personable. They always greet you with a smile and know your name. Whenever I call the bank, the call is picked up 100% of the time. If the representative you want is busy, your number is taken and your call is returned. It is such a good feeling to know there is someone there to answer any questions you may have. This is not the same with other banks. I give this bank 5 stars for exceptional service. See for yourself !!”

“I visited the bank yesterday to get a safe deposit box and was assisted by Ibrahim Meite, Financial Center Manager. I had no idea if any boxes would be able but Ibrahim was kind enough to check records and got me one. The entire process was seamless, Ibrahim patiently explained all the terms and conditions and answered all the questions to my satisfaction. Thanks to Ibrahim I had a very pleasant experience.”

“I can't recommend this particular branch enough! Fast service, attentive staff and now they have an ATM that allows you to withdraw and deposit after hours. I recently set up my savings account here and the employees, Dennis and Dante, walked me through the process and gave me great advice on how to manage my money. I can say, without any doubt, that these guys deserve the 5 stars.”

“I came in to schedule a free notary appointment, and it was fast and easy. The notary visit took 10 minutes and it was free! Highly recommend this location and the friendly staff.”

“The service at this branch is first class and it’s an extremely well organized bank. Banker Denisse assisted my law office with a complicated estate account setup and she was absolutely excellent. Extremely knowledgeable & professional. She worked promptly and kept me informed through the entire process. Personal attention such as this is why I will be moving accounts to Provident.”

“I love the people that work here at this branch! Maria especially! Came in to get Costa Rica Colon for my trip this week. Could not have been easier.
Maria was exceptionally efficient and friendly!”

It exceeded my expectations, excellent service, kindness and patience to explain.”

“This bank is awesome the manager is a sweetheart and very polite. I read these reviews from years ago and I and disappointed how far people will go to try and assassinate someone’s character. She is a wonderful woman and very friendly to the elderly. M&T gets a thumbs up for me !”

“I had an amazing experience with this credit union. Signed up a few months ago as I started my small business in NJ. Applied for a business credit card this past week and process overall went well. Jasmine (sorry if I spelled the name incorrectly) was wonderful in assisting me with my requests and communication was awesome.”

“I have banked here for many years- and I have mixed feelings mostly good . I think this bank provides good old fashion banking - I think there is still a need for it , after all everyone isn't banking from their Iphone. It is nice to deal with human beings . In fact when I'm there I see older people and people who english is their second language - this branch has bilingual tellers . Overall the bank staff is friendly except for a teller Demetrius I think it would kill her to crack a smile and they never have pens that work - these are small things so I still like banking here”

“The security guard Dennis greets every single customer that comes through the doors and opens the door for everyone with a big smile and a warm welcome, he's absolutely wonderful and makes you feel so welcome!”

“I am so grateful to the Santander bank branch at Journal Square for providing a safe and warm place for me to sleep. As a homeless person, finding a place to rest can be a constant struggle, but the ATM area of this bank has been a lifesaver. The staff has been understanding and compassionate, and I've never felt like I was unwelcome or a burden.While the bank has no accessible restrooms and water fountains, I have found peeing behing the ATMs to be a huge help. Plus, there are many restaurants in the area for cheap eats. It can be difficult to access basic necessities when you're living on the streets. I'm so thankful that Santander has been willing to provide a little bit of comfort and support to those of us who are struggling.I would highly recommend this Santander bank branch to anyone in a similar situation. The staff here truly understands the challenges of homelessness and has been incredibly accommodating. Thank you, Santander, for being a beacon of hope in a difficult world.”

“I have noticed a lot of negative reviews about this particular bank, but I must say that after my recent visit, I am not sure why people have given such negative feedback. The security personnel were polite and courteous, the bank teller provided a good service and the banker who assisted me, Michele Boyd, was exceptional in solving my problem. She was friendly and provided excellent customer service. Therefore, if anyone faces any issues with anyone else at the bank, I would highly recommend asking for her assistance.”

“To summarize my experience in this bank it was far and beyond. The customer service was the best thanks to Marcos the e one who entertained and helped me. The process was just so quick and they will help you what account would fit on you. I thought no bank would ever help me then it was heaven sent. Godspeed!”
