5 stars - shinoby - Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - 11:23 AM

Bank seems good to work with.  No complaints.

Not quite sure where the four star safety rating is coming from:

Of the two services I checked, Bauer and Bankrate Safe & Sound, one service gave VIST three point five stars and the other gave it two stars.  This was based on March data, and I doubt things have become better.
