Love the customer service at Bella Bottega
I do most of my in-person banking at the Bella Bottega branch because the service is always excellent. Today I worked with someone new to me, Vimmie Huang, and she impressed me with her customer focus. She was very engaging and friendly, which I always appreciate, but she also paid attention to details, like updating my account info, reminding me of ways I can get a better return, and asking how my experience has been with FT. She was great, and I was impressed.
