Trustco Bank Gerling St, Schenectady

I have been a member for many years and am very satisfied with the quality of service. Managers and Tellers alike are polite and professional. A great bank to deal with. Plenty of parking and handicap accessible.

The teller was extremely rude and very short with my husband and I. It's no wonder there's hardly any customers in there. The branch in Grenville is so much better and friendlier.

Have had a issue a stop payment among other misc. tasks and the staff are very patient and professional. I find the tellers to be friendly as well.

Worst bank branch ive EVER delt with in my life!

Trustco, a shady bank. First off, their mortgages are very competitive. Rates are low and no PMI is a huge plus. But this bank is stuck in the late 90s and early 2000s as far as money accounts go. Their online banking system is archaic, slow and difficult to use. But the biggest issue is the shady fees and penalties with no warnings. Ive been with the bank for a decade with my mortgages. They've made a ton of interest off me in that time and thats fine. Recently however, without a warning, letter or email, and out of no where, they changed their checking account rules in so that you must have an average running balance of $500 a month or u get a 5 dollar fee tacked on per month. I rarely check my checking account because this account is strictly to deposit money for my auto pay mortgage each month. So I was angry when I realized how many fees accumulated over the months. They also refused to refund any of it. Thats not the worst part though. Recently I forgot to transfer the money from my tax savers to my checking to pay for my school taxes. I sent the check out to Colonie and Trustco let the check bounce 3 TIMES!!! Without a single letter, email or phone call. This racked up over a $100 worth of fees. It was a honest mistake from a long time customer and they refused to refund any of it. Super shady! Not to mention without warning, letter, or email, they opened up an overdraft account which created a HARD HIT on my credit without my consent prior to the bounced check. Even worse, the overdraft account didn’t even safe guard me from the bounced check. Unbelievable! Will almost certainly refinance my mortgage with some other bank soon. Trustco is the new Fee Bank and they show absolutely no loyalty, and refuse to help out their long time customers. Bait and switch shadiness!

One of the best banks I have been to in a long time!! Much better than Citizen's Bank where I came from.

Not good at all, I moved to Syracuse, drove here 2.5 hrs to close my account, the manager told me to wait 20 mins, but it is already 45 mins and I am still waiting.

The tellers know the regulars by name, and everyone ready and willing to help!
