This bank makes it very difficult to conduct business.    Will not cash a 2-party check if one person does not have an account. Put a cash deposit on hold for several days. Savings account was cancelled due to inactivity for a short while and not allowed to be reopened, wouldn't allow CD purchase with money already in the account.  Everything is a hassle.
