I'm a pretty critical person. It's important that I take the time to recognize good things as well as bad. Recently I've seen some friends unhappy with their banks and I've got to say that I'm not. For the last five years I've done my banking through TD Banknorth (formerly Banknorth, formerly the Howard Bank). And to be honest I've been consistently comfortable with them. They've been approachable in their branches, and seem to keep good hours on their phone support. Their online banking interface is intuitive and functional, and useful features are included. And they've got a good spread of ATMs around the state.

Recently Banknorth merged with TD and became TD Banknorth. Since then I received a new debit card with a new number on it out of the blue. TD Banknorth was just being responsible due to a number of credit card number thefts recently. The transition process between cards was made smooth as could be, and I honestly think things have been improving.

All in all I'm pretty pleased with my service with them, and it just seemed nice to actually say that about something.
