Refused both Certified and First Class mail

[Dabiggaguy]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York

Filed a small claims against a bank with a branch in my town. Town court sent the Certified Mail and First Class mail. The branch refused delivery of both and they were returned to the Court. Is refusal of delivery of both Service?

While if accepted a branch may not be considered the proper place to make service. You should look up the registered address here https://www.dos.ny.gov/corps/bus_entity_search.html

From Albany County: You must file your case in the correct location (where the defendant lives or if the defendant is a business than where the business has an open office).

Two copies of such process must be delivered in person to the Superintendent's office at One State Street, New York, NY 10004, together with a check for $2.00 made payable to the "Superintendent of Financial Services of New York." Further papers in a case, which do not themselves commence the proceeding against the bank, should be served directly on the bank or its counsel thereafter.

You didn't properly serve the bank.

ETA: The above may not apply to your case. Read the page carefully, as it will tell you how to find out if they supervise the bank you are trying to serve.

They do not Supervise that bank.

They do not Supervise that bank.

There are additional links to help you figure out how to get them served. The best bet is to serve their registered agent (as advised above.)
