Never ever deal with this third-class bank. No supportive staff, all morons. I had a savings account, which I never operated went to close the manager asked me to pay the charges levied, which other banks never ask, and they waive off, Still I paid the charges. fill up the form and did all closing procedures and they still have not closed the same, it's marking a month and a half! it's now that I got another deduction msg, I am getting to know this.
I agree so totally. Going to close all the accounts and believe me that I have been their customer for over 40myears but treated so shabbily that i had to take this step.
