Cashing Checks
The biggest gripe with Colony Bank is dealing with cashing checks. No matter what kind of check, even a government issued check in the account holder's name is difficult to cash. If the account holder does not have the funds in their own account to cover the check, Colony Bank will not cash the check. This practise negates the whole purpose of checks. Colony bank wants the account holder to deposite the check in their account.
The staff are very friendly.
