Poor customer service
I live in CA, mother in New Haven. My mother needs to be moved into a nursing home and I need five years of bank statements for Medicaid and nursing home admission.
College Street New Haven were NO help at all, telling me to call customer service. Customer service rep was the worst I've ever encountered, lacked training, wanted to get rid of me because I needed assistance with getting the older statements. Tried palming me off, saying "log off and on again and see if it will work". Called College St.
back, they didn't want to talk to me, said they'd call me back, never did. Called Westville, man kept interrupting me, wouldn't listen. Finally got a decent human in Hamden.
Thank you Anne Marie, the only nice person I could find at Webster. Shame on this bank for treating customers so badly.
Need to close my account

BUSINESS CUSTOMER FOR 25 + "HORRIBLE STAY AWAY"
Hard to get an answer
Credit card question
Zero communication and lies
Saw a $37 NSF fee on one of my 7 accts business accts with them (and I was not overdrawn), so called. Very nice CSR (can't remember her name) figured out a $6K payment had gone through twice!
It was my own fault. I pd it twice in error. I apologized. She fixed it.
I spoke with a 2nd CSR named Jarod next day. Also very nice! Was told the fee would be waived. It wasn't 10 days later so I called again.
Spoke with CSR named Gail who treated me like I'm garbage! Had to ask her THREE TIMES if she's telling me the first 2 CSRs lied to me and I'm going to be charged the $37 in the end. After 3 attempts she finally said YES! I then told her to close all my accounts, which at that time totaled $600K.
She then started groveling and said she'd keep the bank's word and waive the fee. I called Corporate and filed a complaint with her Manager. Communication and honesty is key and it was sorely lacking. As the 4th CSR, Kathy, who was also very nice, said on my call to file a complaint "you can't unring a bell." Very true.
Gail should never have let the problem get to the point where the long time customer tells her to close all her accounts before FINALLY doing what the customer was told would be done in the first place! Branch personnel always very nice. Customer service NOT.
Gail should not be allowed to speak with customers at all. Bank elsewhere.
User's recommendation: Bank elsewhere.
Zero communication and lies
Saw a $37 NSF fee on one of my accounts, so I called and spoke with a very nice CSR (can't remember her name) who discovered a $6K bill had been pd twice in error. She called one of the payments back and said the $37 would not be charged.
Had to call a 2nd time and spoke with Jared who was also very nice and assured me the $37 would not be charged. 10 days later the $37 is still there so I call again and spoke with Gail. THREE TIMES I had to ask the same question until she would finally say she was keeping the charge on my acct!!! I pretty much erupted, telling her I don't like being lied to and to close all my 7 accounts with them that, at that point, totaled about $600K.
It was only then, after all the damage to the relationship had been done, that she started groveling and said she would waive the fee. Too late. I called Corp to complain. Spoke with a very nice woman, Kathy, would aptly agreed with me and used the analogy "you can't unring a bell." How true!
I am now awaiting a call back from Gail's Manager, but the damage cannot be undone. The branch personnel are always great, but Gail should not be allowed to speak to customers at all.
She has no clue how to treat the people who (collectively) pay her salary. Good old fashioned customer service is dead at Webster Bank.

Verified Reviewer | New York, New YorkDebit card was cancelled for no reason
Debit card got cancelled for no reason. I called customer service and they told me they couldn't give me a reason as to why it was cancelled.
I went to my home branch and waited over an hour to be seen just to be told they had no replacement cards. I called about 4 other branches and none of them had replacement cards either. So I called customer service again and asked if they could expedite me a new card. They told me that it would cost a fee of $60 and I would get the card in 10 days for the $60 fee.
I hung up the phone pissed and I finally found a bank with replacement cards. This bank told me they could definitely tell me why my card was cancelled but they couldn't figure it out either.
They then told me since they "helped me out" that I should transfer my savings account money over to their bank instead of the one I'm using and suggested I open a CD account because it has 4.5% interest. 4.5% interest is not worth it to me and, I will also not be giving them anymore of my money this bank is incompetent in fact I will be cancelling my account next week when I open one with a new bank.
- Cancel cards randomly

Verified Reviewer | Boston, MassachusettsAwful experience at one of Webster branch
I was picking up a banker check this morning at 1376 Bald hill road Warwick location. The person who was helping me was Charles Chauvin.
Apparently he was having issues with printing or paper as he kept on repeating its not working, its not printing.. In the middle of his task he was constantly interacting with a bank teller next to him as she was answering a phone multiple times and asking him questions. After half an hour of waited for Charles to print out a check for me and just another question from his coworker, I said sorry guys but I have to be back at work, could you just print out the check for me.. To this Charles yelled out she is new, OK???
Im a manager of the branch and helping her to take care of customers!!! My jaw dropped, you being rude right now, I said. To this he yelled out no, you are rude!!! I just stood there quietly and watching him throwing my license at me and with his Hands shaking, he gave me a check.
I asked him for the card with his name on it please and told my colleagues at work what I just went through( after they enquired why my face was so red when I came back to work and my blood pressure was so high( I do work at Kent hospital emergency room). I was shocked by being treated like this by MANAGER of the branch. I felt like crying. Talked to my husband about experience.
Neither of us will use that branch any longer.. Behavior like this should be addressed ..Just so you can see for yourself, please review the footage on the camera from above managers head from 9:05 to 9: 40 am on May 31 st
