Immediately switch to a more responsive and transparent bank. It's unacceptable for a long-term customer to be treated with such disregard. Ensure the new bank values clear communication and provides proper support. Prioritize your financial security and find a bank that respects and assists its customers. Don't tolerate poor service — move on to a better institution.

Webster Bank CD closeout... Acc#90515711

My CD MATURED ON 05/08/2024. I called and sent messages to Webster Bank

on 05/09/2024 asking to close my CD AND TRANSFER to my external bank. the bank told me it takes 3 business days but As of 05/17/2024, the bank said it is still in processing. 7 business days passed. Then on 05/18/24, I received an email showing my CD was renewed as of 05/08/2024 with lower APR.

There is 10 day grace period for closing the CD from 05/09/24 and I called and sent messages more than 11 times between 05/09 through 05/17/24

All communication records are in my account online in the message folder.

Each time I called the answers were inconsistent and reply messages were just "in processing" **** I did not renew, and I don't want to renew. I am asking them to transfer my CD amount to my checking account at CHASE. The bank has all of my information ( no further verification needed)

Desired outcome: I am asking them to transfer my CD amount to my checking at Chase ASAP

Webster Bank Mobile Banking app

The latest update to the mobile banking app has caused an issue when trying to deposit my checks. It does not recognize the image/amount, no matter how many times I try. IT states the amount I entered does not match the image. The old app never had an issue, it actually automatically recognized the amount on the check and rarely asked the user to manually enter it.

I have had zero luck being able to deposit thru the app since this update and now have to go to the bank every week. Extremely frustrating, especially when it worked so well on the old app.

Desired outcome: Fix the Check deposit imaging/recognition

Webster Bank Webster bank ct is the worst bank in the history of banking!

The "brain trust at webster changed the bill paying format with out notice. I logged in to pay my bill and I was required to change my pass word 9 times. each time i tried to log in it required me to change my password, I did this more than 10 times yet it kept prompting me to change it again. This is truly the worst bank on the planet. And as far as banks go, webster banks are breached 50 times as other banks. Their tellers are not user friendly and are rude and not helpful at all. Once I get this issue resolved I am dropping them and moving my funds to Bank Of America. And if my bills are not paid in time I will take them to court. I have ample funds to pay my bill, but having to change my password 9 times is just ridiculous.

Desired outcome: I want webster to go out of business because they to put it plainly THEY SUCK

Webster Bank Online Banking

Since Webster changed over in July there website doesn't have any rates online(CD, saving, checking, etc) Can't renew online anymore cant see the rates. Went into Naugatuck branch to change an existing CD term and was told I have to make an appointment--for a simple CD term change. I am suppose to have 10 grace period. Was there today--thought banking was suppose to be convenient-------you should be ashamed of running a bank like this . Before I went to bank called 800 number and a simple minded person answered and couldn't even tell me the rates... Why are the rates a secrets?

Desired outcome: Put the rates on line so everybody can see--I want to be able to go to the bank and do whatever I want to without an appointment for a renewal--use to be able to renew online--go back to the way your old online banking was--EASY

Webster Bank Online transfer of accounts

This is a general complaint about the unprofessional and chaotic impact the recent merger of July 2023 has had on me as a customer as well as the Webster staff at my local branch in Canton CT. The call center that deals with issues of business and loan accounts disappearing from my online portal is not up to the job. Calls are transferred from one representative to another with no resolution offered other than a suggestion to go to the local branch.

I have been to my local branch no less that 4 times in as many weeks to check up on work orders. The staff there are extremely patient and are working as hard as they can to deal with the multiple complaints that angry, frustrated customers have been experiencing since this very disruptive merger took place.

I have been a Webster customer for 19 years. This is a development that is highly disrespectful to your customers as well as to your loyal employees.

I hope to get a meaningful and clear response to this complaint.

Webster Bank Online banking

Around 2:10 I called Webster to try and get online. I live in England for the last 19 years and they have always sent me information through the mail. Initially, I could use the online banking but then there must have been changes made and I could no longer access the online banking. This wasn't a big concern at the time, as I was still receiving statements in the mail. However, I then started to be charged for the paper bills and I was charged for going under a limit. I tried to go online again but couldn't at the time, not sure why. Recently, I was told by a representative at the bank that I should be able to, so I figured I would try again, as I don't want to keep paying a fee every month. Also, I can't access my money unless I am in West Hartford, which I no longer go to because I don't live there anymore. So, this morning, I called again to get online, at around 2:10 my time which would be around 9 your time, I spoke to a Kayna and explained my situation and the history of the account and she told me that although my account was there my address was not on file. She said to go to my local branch. I again said I live in the UK and can't and asked if there was someone else who could help me. She put me on hold yet again, and came back and said, NO. I said is there a name of a manager and she said again, No. I explained that she may not be able to help me but someone else might be. She continued to say to visit my local branch. I continued to explain that I couldn't as I am in the UK. It was incredibly unprofessional and frustrating. I know that the phones are recorded, please listen to the recording. As well, Webster has to have my address as you send me my info by mail! So, I called back a few times to a few different departments and they were pretty good. The advice was given that I could write a letter. I did speak to someone else, who then said that they will try to update it and email me back. I don't understand why someone just can't do that as you obviously have my address but it is not in the right system.

Desired outcome: I would like that employee talked to, Kayna. I understand that she may have been limited in how she could have helped me but she should have been able to direct me to someone who could. Or, be able to get the name of her supervisor.

Webster Bank Online banking with computer changes

Since July 231we have been unable to access accounts due ti the merger with a New York Bank. Webster has a change over with the online Banking System I waitelld till July 26th to try to log on and was rejected. I called customer service and speaking with some who\s english I couldn't understand I was still couldn't Log On. This went on until Wednesday evening after multipul phone caslls and being locked out several times and no one able to fix the proble. I was told several lies by these customer service Agents saying the system was down and they locked me out twice thru errors of their own. Finally on the evening of the 26th I was able to get in after having to set up all new login info. The Bank made no effort to reac out to people starting Monday when they knew they had a big mess. It seems that Webdter is so worriied about Sterliung customer that Webster long term customers are having to take a Back seat wild bad service and very poor Customer Service. Maybe one of the requirements for Customer Service should be a good grasp of the English Language. Webster will pay the price with a giant loss of Customers I am sure. Especially older Customers who have been with then since they were First Federal Harry Jackson Incidentlly all The Local Tellers tried to Help but that was it.

Desired outcome: Webster diffinitely owes a BIG APOLOGY TO The Webster Customers. I don't care about Sterling customers because that Bank is the cause of the Problems

Webster Bank The shady manner in which Sheila Duarte, Brookfield Webster Bank manager handle my bank account issue.

I had $500 fraudulently stolen from my Webster Bank debit visa/ checking. I filed a complaint through Webster customer service. A week after I received a letter from Webster the claim was denied due to insufficient evidence. I had the evidence, however, the "so-called investigators" never asked me for it. I then called Duarte and told her I was taking my money out and closing my accounts, which was just about $130,000, out of Webster and I needed to know from her what was the protocol to withdraw such a large amount in cash. Duarte then tells me to please not close the account, instead for me to bring the evidence I had on the fraud and she was going to try all she could to try and get the fraudulent charge reversed. She kept my file for over two months and only gave me one call before she went on her long vacation to Brazil saying, she was still working on it, to please give them more time to continue investigating. On the eighth week, I had enough, I called the bank and asked for Sheila Duarte, but she refused my call and told her employee what to tell me. Originally my complaint was a private matter Duarte personally took care of now all of a sudden she's relaying messages through a third party to tell me over the telephone. I told her employee to tell her to call me and gave her my number of contact and Duarte never called me. When I made my original $170,000 deposit, Duarte did everything she could to value me as a client, she almost rolled out the red carpet. However, when the fraud claim came about Duarte and Webster threw my almost twenty years as a client, down the drain. I was upset she hadn't done anything about my missing $500, didn't call me with an update after she got back to work on May the ninth, and made every effort to avoid speaking with me.

The fraudulent purchase was through the use of a debit card, which should be protected by the bank, the customer shouldn't be responsible. I am filing a complaint with the banking commission and every other institution I can until Webster investigates my account and reimburses the $500 stolen. I also demanded over the telephone to Webster employee my money in a couple of days in $100 bills, she in return told me I had to come in and that they were a small bank that doesn't have that kind of money. That's when I decided to transfer my monies electronically out to other banks from Webster. I'm still in the process of emptying my accounts.

Desired outcome: I demand my $500 fraud stolen from my Webster Bank reversed and returned to me.

Webster Bank Closing of Old Saybrook, Ct office

Just received our letter stating the Old Saybrook, Ct branch is being closed 6/9/23. We are upset and disappointed that this is happening. We have been with you for years and years and feel like Cheryl and Jackie are like family. A sad day.

There are other banks in the area who still care about their customers. Unfortunately for you there are other banks on the same street or next who will be glad to service your customers without the drive.

Desired outcome: Obviously keeping the branch.

Since Webster merged with the other bank their care for Webster customers has dropped to the ground. I was just screwed by Sheila Duarte, the manager at Webster in Brookfield, I told them I want all my money asap in $100 bills and the clerk told me I have to give them notice, meanwhile, I deposited that amount in two checks, I've been their client for over twenty years and this is their appreciation. So I contacted Discover, PNC, Wells Fargo, and, Goldman Sacks and the money will be deducted via electronic transactions. No need to argue with these idiots.

Webster Bank Customer Service

My father in love passed away on December 13th. After checking with the Social Security Administration, we confirmed that the SAA pays a month behind - July benefits are paid in August, and so on. My mother in law got my father in laws November benefit payment in December, as scheduled. When the SSA notified the Webster of his passing, they withdrew the November benefit payment from her account - even though he didn’t pass until December and the SSA confirmed the check was hers to keep. When we called Webster, customer service told my mother in law that she was wrong and the check was for Decembers benefits (which is not correct and can easily be checked on the SSA website). They were rude about it, and really need to do better about knowing SSA policies (or how to check if they aren’t sure) and need to change the way they speak with customers - especially those who are calling in a time of grief.

Desired outcome: I would like an apology for the way they handled the situation I would also like the money to be returned to my mother in laws account, as it is rightfully hers.
