“I was prepared to hate this place when they took over my First Niagara branch. I was upset about First Niagara being sold and then I was surprised to learn that not all the branches would become Key Bank. I had never heard of this regional bank from northwest Pennsylvania. I marched in shortly after they opened planning to take all my money out and put it with a local bank like Evans or a credit union. I was greeted my friendly and knowledgeable employees, many who seemed familiar from the First Niagara days. I asked them why new customers were getting $200 for new accounts and I got nothing for the switch over in which I had no choice. They explained I had been grandfathered in to an excellent checking account with perks NWSB does not otherwise offer which includes free unlimited ATM withdrawals from an US ATM. I use online banking and the app quite frequently, but every once in awhile you need to pop into an actual branch. I'm lucky this is my local branch and glad that a bank would stay invested in this transitioning neighborhood where not too long ago, thus census tract had a median household income of about $27,000. A bank I can walk to where everyone is friendly and happy to see you. The security guard might actually be the nicest person in there, and he's certainly got stiff competition. What more could I want?”

“M & T bank is the ABSOLUTE best. You call a branch and they answer. The online banking is exceptional. Very smooth interface and functionality. Great customer service and overall banking. Anyone on here writing a bad review should get their head examined because they are very wrong.”

“Had the pleasure of working with Giovanny. He was more than amazing! He answered all of our questions and has continued to check on us many times after. Anyone we interacted with at the branch was genuinely amazing. We really enjoyed our time, and we would highly recommend this branch.”
“Just wanted to give a shout out to Nicole at branch 372 in Williamsville. About a month ago, I was having a terrible day. She was extremely kind and went out of her way to provide great customer service. Thank you, Nicole!”
“Hello i am 18 and i just opened a bank account at Northwestern they make every thing easy to understand i recommend that if you are young and you are trying to open a bank account and establish credit i feel that Northwest is the perfect place for you”
“Charlie is the absolute sweetest, I hope the upper management realizes what a gem they have working for them! I have been ready to take my loan elsewhere a few times because of issues and Charlie is the ONLY reason I haven’t! You should give Charlie a raise!!!”
“Went in after signing up for online banking and wasn't given my account #. The girls there were very nice and helped me get my account fully set up and assured me that everything was okay. Love the customer service here!”
“Greg, the branch manager, has personally handled two stressful issues that I have had when the regional bank team refused to do so. His devotion to customer service is unmatched, and it is something you can't get at a larger bank where you're just a number on a page. Keep up the great work, everyone at the branch, but especially Greg!”

“This is my second loan with SJP Federal Credit Union, and once again, I had the pleasure of working with Robynn Hughes—who made the experience just as smooth and rewarding as the first time! After financing my jet ski with SJP, I knew exactly where to turn when it came time to refinance my auto loan, and Robynn did not disappoint.
She went above and beyond to ensure I got the best possible deal, taking the time to understand my financial needs and tailoring a solution that truly worked for me. Instead of feeling like just another customer, I felt valued and supported every step of the way.
One thing I’ve learned? Always reach out to your credit union before going through a dealer—whether it’s for an auto loan, a boat, or a jet ski. SJP offers competitive rates, exceptional service, and a personal touch that dealerships simply can’t match.
The team at SJP Federal Credit Union genuinely cares about their members, and Robynn, in particular, is an absolute rockstar! If you’re considering financing or refinancing, do yourself a favor and talk to Robynn first—you won’t regret it!
Thank you again, Robynn and the entire SJP team, for making this another fantastic experience!”
“Polite and responsible staff. I had a problem with large number of coins and wanted to deposit it to my account. I didn't know how to do it. They did help me with this issue.”
“Vincent G at this location is an all star. I had a tall order that he filled with such was and confidence. I wouldn’t bank anywhere else while he’s around. He’s an asset to this bank.”

“I have been a M&T customer for 37 years at the Grant St branch. I was always treated with respect and if I had a concern it always address on a timely matter. Proud Business user of M&T.”
“I have been a member of the Sweet home Federal credit Union. . I have found them to be very helpful. They go above and beyond to assist me if any problems occur, which I’ve never had any problems occur with them all transactions go very smoothly. They’re always very polite and courteous And they seem to just know their customers on a first name basis I enjoy doing banking there very much and I’ve come to realize that credit unions are in much better financial shape than the typical banks The credit union from what I’ve noticed is much more reliable than the banks better financial situation than the banks. I wish their ATM could receive deposits

“The customer service at this bank is outstanding. I previously had accounts with two big, international banks, so I didn’t know the difference until I came to M&T about 20 years ago. When you call or go into the branch, genuine human beings actually help you. And they’re friendly! I’ve had several types of accounts with this bank and a few times when I’ve had questions or needed advice, and they’ve never let me down.”
“I have been a member here since 1975. At no time during this time was I ever disappointed with the service that I received. Over the years, I have taken out several loans including a mortgage. Since Credit Unions have lower rates repayment was easier than through other venues Parking is plentiful, off street, and secured by fencing. Access is granted through a camera and buzzer system so security is never a concern. Due to the nature and location of the business, English and Ukrainian are spoken by the employees. The office is simple with no embellishments. There is no waiting room but I have never experienced more than a 5 minute wait for service. This is no "backwater" business. Online options equal to the banks are available including bill payment. If possible for you to join, you will never regret doing it”
“I've had a fantastic experience with this bank. The customer service is top-notch, friendlyand I appreciate the convenience of their online banking platform. Highly recommend!”

“I have been with this credit union for over 10 years now and I've never had any problems. Service is always good, the cashier's are always friendly even when the lines are long. They helped me finance a couple cars and take a couple vacations.My biggest complaint is they really need an expanded parking lot if it's always going to be filled with oversized trucks, but I suppose that not really their fault.”
