M&T Bank needs to be investigated for legally stealing customers hard earned money. Between the nickle and diming fee's they fail to tell there customers, re arranging the order of transactions and holding deposits to ensure multiple ocer draft fee's. They just took $270.00 from me in over draft charges when i had over $1000 in the bank to cover the $200.00 in charges i made. I went to the bank with my print out which shows i was never even close to being overdrawn, and i am told " the funds were not available to you yet" even though my bank receipt and statement shows my balance. I have the proof and i am in search of a lawyer.

I have a car loan that was funded by M&T Bank since Febuary of 2009. Now I have been paying major bills for 12 years now. I've never had a problem with the post office getting my bills to the appropriated destination. This includes a mortgage, other car loans, boat loans etc... I sent in a payment several months ago. They never received it. I figured maybe I forgot the stamp. It was never returned. I got another late notice the other day and I know I put a stamp on this one. I called the bank and told them I made the payment and they have to have received it. They said they haven't. The specialist was arguing with me when I wanted a pay off balance to get a loan through another bank. She blamed it on the post office. Would not take off the late fee and asked if I was going to make a payment. I told her not at this time that when I send in my next payment I will send in a double payment. She was not happy and continued to argue that it is not on their end. I told her she may not beleive me but I did send it and had everything correct on the address and stamp and that I am through with doing business with them. I could see once this happens but twice within 6 months. I don't think so. M&t is no good!!!

It is bad enough that M&T Bank now charges .50 everytime you use your pin number, this includes withdrawing your money from the branches ATM, but now they have made it a habbit to make sure they squeeze as many Overdraft Fee's as possible. For expample on 11/18/2009 my balance was $50.44 on 11/19/2009 these transactions were posted to my account $15.00. $8.01 and $5.70 obvisously i had the funds to cover these. Until a check for $70.00 went in the same day, and a day to early. So instead of charging me ONE $37.00 overdraft fee for the $70.00 check, they rearranged the order of the transactions so the largest amount was proccessed first so the they could charge me FOUR overdraft fee's to equal $148.00. This is stealing

I have an account with M&T Bank in Virginia, well lets say I will not for long.

I am drawing Disability, and retired at early retirement.

I along with many others cannot cash a government chect with provident, I deposited a check from the government this past week, as well and could not dray on the check until Today, 10/14/09

I went to cask my monthly check for my disability today, and was told i could not cash it as they had to wait till the check cleared.

what a joke, I can go to wal Mart and cash it for 3 dollars, or go to another bank and cash it for nothing, but not at M&T bank, what a joke this bank is.

When this was Provident bank they received 151-m from the feds as a bail out, but they did not need the money, but they took it anyway, we the American tax payers paid for this bail out, and they take the money not needing it, was this to fund their lavish life styles., and party town usa.

Isn't it starnge that the very people, the Government that bails out these banks, their check are not considered good, and a hold is placed on the check, where does this stop, better yet who is going to step up and put as stop to this type of banking.

Is anyone interested in filing a formal complaint against M&T relating to their fees and checking account practices?
