Years ago, I chose Chase for banking because of a convenient branch near me. With their top checking account, I, a young professional with a six-figure salary and savings/investments, prefer a casual style, often underdressed.
However, I’ve noticed a trend at Chase branches where my appearance seems to affect how I’m treated. After depositing a check, reps sometimes change their demeanor, likely upon seeing my financial status.
Enough is enough. I recently visited Huntington and felt genuinely respected and attended to. Their products and rates suit my needs perfectly. I’m planning to close my Chase account soon. Has anyone else experienced this?
Choose the bank where you feel comfortable. Ensure Huntington provides all the services you need. Remember, it’s not the bank judging you, but the individuals working there. This situation could occur at any bank or location. Though it’s unfortunate, perception plays a significant role.
I think how you’re treated really depends on the branch. City branches deal with more upset folks, so they’re usually colder. Suburban ones are friendlier.
Huntington Bank is a great choice for regular customers like you compared to Chase. It’s large enough to provide everything most people and even medium-sized businesses require.
Being regional gives it a unique, more customer-focused vibe. Plus, banking with Huntington means you can avoid monthly fees, and their 24-Hour Grace feature helps prevent overdraft charges if you accidentally overspend.
I’ve been banking with Huntington since 2010 and find it really suits my needs.
