5 stars - Gary - Friday, September 9, 2011 - 1:19 AM

I am 62 and have banked With Blue Ridge Bank and Trust starting when I was in my 20s and on-and-off over the years (I changed towns for awhile).  Currently, I have banked with them for five years and have had nothing but excellent service. I have had issues with two outside companies concerning my checking account.  Blue Ridge employees have understood the situations immediately and have kept on top of them until resolved.  Each employee has been intelligent, professional and courteous, consistently, over many years.  I have never seen any slouchy, bored or inattentive-appearing employees at the bank. 

Just this morning I was in the main branch concerning a new, dishonest, well-advertised Internet scam company to whom I'd given permission to electronically withdraw from my account.   I closed the Internet account this morning, but don't trust the company not to further draw from my account.  Sara Wilke, Assistant Branch Manager, was very attentive and interested in hearing about this company and the situation.  There is a sure solution available should the need arise, and I feel confident that the Internet company will not be able to charge me any additional fees. 

Many of my friends and family have maintained business with Blue Ridge Bank permantly, for years and years.  I do strongly recommend Blue Ridge Bank and Trust.
