Service Credit Union in Lebanon, New Hampshire

Went in today to open a business account. Was given incorrect information as to the classification of my business and told that they would not open the account for me. They classified my business as a money service business. I am not a money service business. I don't sell any sort of currency or exchange currency or sell money orders. I own a collection agency. As soon as I said that I could see the look of horror on the woman's face behind the desk. She ran off tapped something on the computer and came back over and said we're sorry but your type of business is considered a money service business and we don't open accounts for that type of business. When I tried to explain that I was not a money service business they simply said sorry can't help you. All you have to do is go online and check the federal government's definition of a money service business. Don't lump my business into a category where it does not belong. Anyway I went down the street and open my account with another bank. 10,000 initial deposit lost with easily 25,000 per month in deposits moving forward. If you're looking for a business-friendly bank this is not the place you want to go.

I have had my savings there for 4 years. I wanted a bank check for a large amount, so I didn't have to carry the cash. I was told that there is a 3.00 fee. So I withdrew the money and went to a more local bank and got it for free.

Everytime I go to this branch I am pleasantly surprised by the associates working here. I have been lucky enough to work with Amanda on a number of occasions and she is great.
