M&T Bank Anmeldelser 

I have never encountered a more inept and frustrating banking institution than M&T Bank Name. The customer service is an absolute travesty, marked by incompetence at every turn, and the interminable wait times are nothing short of outrageous. It rarely takes less than 20 minutes and just one agent. It's been over an hour and two agents and I'm still on hold. Local service branch is great, though.

Been a member of this bank for over ten years and this is the second noteworthy issue I have had.

I deposited checks on a Monday and was promptly locked out of my online banking account from Tuesday thru Friday morning. And not only was I locked out, but a business that was already connected to my checking account for payments was locked out as well!

I went back and forth with customer service at 1-800-790-9130 and went back to a local branch (upon their instructions) with no help. Approximately 48 hours later I was just told over the phone that the "verification department" has not only put a hold on the deposited checks, but has also blocked me from accessing my online banking account for FIVE business days!

I then reached out to the M&T CFO, Daryl Bible, and another M&T executive using my LinkedIn Premium account with no response.

Friday morning I received a call from someone on the M&T investigation team who said the checks were finally approved and my funds were available. So I went to a local branch to get a cashier's check for only to be told the recently deposited funds would have to be in the account 10 days before I could get a cashier's check on the funds! I told the teller and supervisor about the call I received saying my funds were available, but they were not hearing it.

On my way out of the branch I sent a text to the investigator who called me earlier, complaining to him about my situation. He promptly called me back and demanded to talk to someone at the bank and after much back and forth between him and a teller, a supervisor, and the branch manager, I was finally able to get my funds!

A day later, one of the executives I reached out to on LinkedIn finally got back to me. A day late and a dollar short as the saying goes! And a week later, still not a peep from the CFO, Daryl Bible.

This was the absolute worst banking experience I have ever had, penalizing a long time customer for depositing some checks! I CAN understand putting a few day hold on some unusual checks until they clear the proper protocols, but to lock me as well as a business out of my online banking was over the top bad. It is no wonder M&T gets just 1.3 stars on this website.

Good riddance M&T!

Absolutely the worst bank possible. I tried to pay off a large loan, 7 days later money still in my account! No payoff! Call them again finding out that they did paperwork wrong, no call no nothing! Tried again today 10/7/2025 probably won’t go through, I had to pay an additional per diem, because of their mistake! Worst bank ever!!!!!!

I had to schedule an appointment for 9 am. I online connected to the video calling website at 9 and by 9:45 am they said I missed the video call and to re-schedule. Really? I also tried to login by phone and it keep saying that the meeting has not started. Might be time to move my money some where else,

HORRIBLE EVERYTHING. I was involuntarily transferred to this bank for my mortgage, and it's been a nightmare. They randomly don't process payments, charge me fees for things that are beyond my control and never resolve the issue. Their mistakes have even hit my credit. I'm moving mortgage companies asap.

The employee Shane it was completely unrespctfull when I was trying to get my account back every Friday is something with the account and I when I got to the account it took me out I did call back and Shane pick when I was hey I think I just spoke to you she hang up on my face

M&T Bank’s mortgage servicing is a mess. The phone reps I spoke with lacked even a basic understanding of how mortgages—and their own systems—actually work. When I questioned an escrow increase, they immediately blamed “higher taxes and insurance.” The problem? My tax and insurance costs had gone down, not up. Once confronted with the facts, the reps had no explanation. I’m about 80% certain they didn’t actually know what escrow is and were just winging it.

Instead of resolving the issue, they placed me on long holds while trying to get answers from leadership. The result was confusion, deflection, and zero accountability. If you’re looking for baseline competence in mortgage servicing, go with a dedicated mortgage company or credit union. Avoid the clown act that is M&T Bank.

Could not find online method to download our 1099 tax form for our business accounts. Called for support. They asked a bunch of questions to authenticate account- all answered. Explained that I could only download monthly statements and didn't see an option for tax forms. They then wanted to know who the admin on the online access was? I explained we are a residential coop and account was opened over 20 years ago and we have used the same online user account. Mind you, I am authorized signer on the account. They kept saying that they would have to block the account if I could not have the admin get on the phone. They also would not provide the name of the admin of the potential 10 prior board officers. They mentioned a change of admin is possible but would take 3-5 days or we could go to a branch office. I said we would go to the brank office to deal with the changes. This is something we already had done when changing the officer names on our account which took time to coordinate among all of us. It would have been nice for them to mention the online access admin.
After the call I tried logging back into our accounts and access was blocked! This was on a Saturday and now we have to schedule a weekday appointment to regain access and continue banking online. Completely unacceptable for Business accounts. It may be time to move to a new bank.

I miss “Peoples Savings!”
Possibly the absolute worst online banking experience on the planet. Their site is either down or won’t let you log in giving “A previous session is still active. Please log out before logging in again. If you closed the browser tab without logging out, wait a few minutes or open a new browser instance to sign in.” as the error message. If I could find another local bank I’d close my accounts and make the move.

I called to report fraudulent transactions I found on my checking account. I was fortunate that Kadi was the person who answered the phone. She was invaluable, knowledgeable, and compassionate. I ended the call with a to-do list of next steps I needed to take. Thanks to Kadi. Instead of feeling defeated, I felt empowered.

This bank has been awful. I paid off a loan on July 9th. Due to the actions of all the employees who have lied to me, it will take me a total of 51 days to obtain the title. Who waits 51 for a title? Two different employees told me that they mailed the title to me. Both lied. Neither of them even cared if they told me the truth. They just wanted to get me off the phone. One was even a supervisor. Get your loan out of this bank before you pay off the loan. You'll be lucky to ever see your title.

The worst bank i have ever worked for .In my TWENTY YEARS of banking i have never ever worked with a manager like the current manager in The Great Neck location,She’s the worst manager i have ever seen in my entire banking career.She was the reason i transferred out from the Manhasset location in 2023.She accused me of being late 27 times in 2022 which was a HUGE LIE HR didn’t do anything about EilShe been reported several times to HR from several employees and HR is not doing anything about her.She literally forced over TEN employees to quit or Terminated their service.In the years that she’s been a manager she did not promoted not one of her employees or did not kept one of them for more than a year.It sad that the bank is not doing anything about it.Former employee Matthew Cheong Stole 95k from the vault M&T Bank did not arrest him nor charge him.They allowed him to go and work at another financial institution.They choose to penalize the other employees Eileen Connors i do believe in Karma it will hit you harder than you think You are just heartless and have no feelings for Humanity.What goes around comes around.You did not give not one of your employees a chance to grow in their career at M&T.

Horrible customer service- they are clueless and can't answer any questions. It is as though they have had no training as to how banking works. The app also rarely works. Use literally any other bank but this one!

First of all I only give them 1 star, because I can not give them a negative rating of 100 stars. M & T Bank is the worst bank. They are even bigger thieves than Key Bank. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH M & T Bank. THEY WILL ROB YOU BLIND. They claim they use simple interest and they do not; they use their own type of interest. We have paid $2,467.00 in interest since June of 20024. When you get your statement and it tells you that you do not owe anything for a year. It is a flat out lie; when you start to pay everything goes towards interest alone. They will not apply anything to the principle, because they are thieves.

This company will go under, so watch. I have so many complaints not going to bore anyone. Just know one thing RUN don't Bank here

First of all I have had this bank for many years. It wasn’t until I had tried other banks that I realized how bad they are. The company is bad enough but the employees are worse. All the branches that I’ve been to have stopped letting you pick up new cards from branch. The fraud issues I’ve had in the last year has been crazy bad and they blamed me and made it out to be like I am doing it on purpose. Yeah right like I wanted to have to go into the bank to get my paycheck and fight to get back to work because I work during bank hours.

actually i have merchant service with people united bank for long time and i have no problem with them. since M&T take over people united bank my my merchant fee , transection etc get dabble i call the customer (8 times in 64 cullender days ) service for rate rewove. then the customer service agent forward my call to the rate rewove teem. the last thing i was lose $7450.00 in rate just 4 billing statement . this is the over charge amount the have done. I'm not reamending any one to go there M&T merchant banking . thanks

To much security issues. Switched to another bank dont recommend m&to at all

Absolutely disgusting company. Mark and Debbie both Supervisors in the mortgage department took my escrow check from our insurance company and told me there was no other way to pay but with them over the phone. Paid this back in April 2025. They put in in the wrong account blamed " back office" and made our escrow account look like we were 1900 short!!!! Not $500!! Called multiple times being told by them both they would fix it only to have our mortgage still reflecting 1600 ( $200 ) more then it should be. Told me they wouldnt change it due to to it not being a bank error!!!!!!!! So they take your payments over the phone, place in wrong account, and its not a bank error.

They'll come back on here and say " call and speak with them " they do not do anything they say they will do.. they take your money with no responsibility and blame it on customers fault for their mistakes of putting it in wrong account. They also have no way of being directed to the managers you speak with because they said they cant be held accountable.. run, run, run from this deceiving company

Had a car loan with these guys for only two months because I traded it in. The loan still shows open (not paid off) on my credit report. So, I tried to log in to my account, and they closed the account online, so I have no access to any of the information. I called, and they asked me to verify the account by telling them my payoff amount. I don't know that! I asked if I could verify the account another way; they said no. I said I just need you guys to report to the credit agencies that this account is closed and paid off. She said, "I'm putting you on hold to see what I can do." Never came back. Rude! And so now I still have an open account with them on credit reports.. even though it’s been closed for months! Terrible group with a miserable customer service person.
