Super Easy Bank To Deal With.....
Called today 5/5/11 to open their 18 month, 1.56% CD, spoke to Vera and unfortunately tomorrow is her last day because she was absolutely one of the nicest people I've ever dealt with at a bank. She took all my info over the phone, I scanned her a copy of my DL, I'm mailing a check to the bank today, the rate is locked in until my check gets there. Couldn't have been easier.
