5 stars - dbojarczuk - Sunday, January 1, 2012 - 11:07 AM

Great rates, both deposits and loans, including a 3.51% rewards checking account, and the highest regular savings rate in its market area.  Combine that with pleasant, personal service, plus investments and insurance, and you have a one-stop financial services organization... onlt criticism, they aren't everywhere.
