Worst Bank Ever!
1 stars - curtsee - Wednesday, February 8, 2012 - 11:56 AM

 Now this bank has the nerve to lure small busines in local areas into letting them handle their payroll just so they can bank of the interest at their own leisure. Even if the business owner files all info say... on a friday, the employees are at the mercy of the postal service until the following possible, Weds, Thurs, Friday and even as late as the following Tuesday! In this option for small business there is also no chance of direct deposit which would process so much faster than mailing. Way to treat people that live paycheck to paycheck and treat the small business great for only probaly six months until screwing them also in the long run!
