I shopped around for local banks for about a month as my bank was closing. After looking at websites and making phone calls my choice was clear, I am going to Lyons National Bank.
This branch is about a year old. When you walk in you are immediately greeted and offered water or coffee.
I waited a few minutes and was greeted by the Assistant Manager and she opened my account for me. I was floored at what was available.
Free checking with 2.0% interest!! That's more interest than a standard savings account.
When my debit card arrives I activate it in the ATM and can change my pin right at the ATM as well. Score!!
The website is real time. We can transfer funds between accounts AND we get reimbursed up to $15 a month for out of network ATM fees. Are you kidding?
For those of you shopping for a local bank I whole heatedly recommend LNB. Don't let your existing bank tell YOU where your new account will be like mine did.
Take that First Niagara and Community Bank! read more
