Fast, good rates, but need work on messaging

There is inconsistent messaging regarding beneficiaries on CDs. I have been told absolutely not by those on front line. Managers have assured me this should be normal course of business. Please make a business decision and ensure it is consistent bottom to top.

Wish I could open an CD account online without going into the branch. Got email said declined. Said, "unable to verify your identity". However, I would like to give Sumita from the Natick branch because she always goes out of her way to help me and gets back to me right away.
