M & T Bank - This Company Really Has Terrible Customer Service
Complaint

BALTIMORE, MARYLAND -- I entered the bank on January 30 2013 to cash a check; I have 2 business accounts and a personal account with M and T Bank. I signed the check and put a thumb print while waiting for the Teller.
When she came she was looking up the account and had to receive approval because of the amount of the check". This was a new account but I am not a new Customer. The other Teller comes and starts asking who the owner of the company is, where else did I try to cash the check, and treating me as if I was a thug that just came off the streets:. My check had cleared and been validated, the Teller proceeds to help other people without letting me know anything when I asked what is going on she tells me that they are working on it and she doesn't know what they are doing".
So I asked to speak to a Manager and she says the Manager is in the back working on something. After I insisted on a Manager and raised my voice then someone came from the back and guided me to the Manager, as I arrived in the Managers office she is calling the bank I opened the account with inquiring on my intentions.
I was never asked any questions; they were treating me as if I had bad intentions, without explaining or asking any clarifying questions! They didn't even research to see if I had any other accounts/.The customer service at this location is very unprofessional and the Tellers are very unhelpful, if you can go to another location or better yet go to another bank.

With respect, the tellers may be limited in what they are allowed to tell you in a situation such as this. They could, perhaps, been more polite to any customer.
The bank verifying a check on what they considered a new account is not uncommon, with the amount of check fraud that is prevalent.
While I agree, they could have been more polite and professional with any customer, verifying the check was certainly not out of their normal procedures.
