Eastern Bank

I’m writing because I am a very happy customer with Eastern Bank. I have both a checking & savings account there. As a former customer of Wainwright who was switched over to Eastern during that buy out, I was at first a little apprehensive about what the change would be like — I loved Wwright’s values & community engagement, and has always been happy with their banking service. I’m happy to say that I really like Eastern’s services (I’ve felt their reps have been helpful & kind), and also REALLY appreciate that they’ve been supporting community organizations that I care about. As a member of the LGBTQ community, I’ve been so excited to see Eastern engaging & financially sponsoring groups like the Mass Transgender Political Coalition, appointing LGBTQ community members to corporate boards, and generally stepping up to the plate in lots of the ways that Wainwright used to.

Just opened a savings account here. It was simple, no hassles and very straight forward. I didn’t feel pushed to start a checking account — though it is free! They answered all of my questions, and when I expressed displeasure at my Bank of America CC, they gave me info on their CC plan. I was overall very impressed.
