Harleysille lost its focus and got into trouble. With this merger only positive things are possible.

i have been a customer of Harleysville/Willow Financial/First Financial/Downingtown Savings & Loan since the 1970’s and this is the first time i have been disappointed in the products they are offering. the so-called belief-backer stuff is a joke. charging for pos debit transactions really is the pits for people whose salaries & SS checks are direct-deposited and needing to maintain a $2500 balance to receive interest on a checking account is just wrong! we are definitely looking around for a new bank!

if anyone switches without even talking to someone about anything isn’t making the right choice. i work for harleysville now and first niagra is such an awesome bank. and jacob was right, they will work with you and help you anyway needed! they are MUCH better than harleysville.

I am from the PA area, former National City customer, purchased by First Niagara. Nothing is ever perfect, but they did right by keeping the employees. I see the same faces I know and love and they have helped me with the changes. Before you start over with a new bank you don’t know from Adam, have a conversation with your local banker and you will feel much better. Good Luck!

Being a custoner since 1982(Downingtown Savings Bank), I agree with June Barto’s comment any changes to seniors accounts, I will not stay with First Niagra Bank.

If this new Niagra bank makes changes to senior citizen accounts, we are out of it!
