Presidential Bank -- Go-To Bank For The Long Haul

I wanted to draw attention to a bank that has treated me well for nearly twenty years -- Presidential Bank. They have long offered a Checking PLUS account with a consistently decent interest rate (currently 1%) for the first $25K on deposit (requires direct deposit and $1000 minimum balance to avoid fees).  Don't be dissuaded by their website design, which has changed little since the advent of the internet; behind the unpromising facade is a bank with solid online features and impeccable customer service.  One downside is that they only have ATMs in the MD/DC area; though they charge no fees for outside ATM usage, neither do they refund the fees that other banks charge.  If you can work around that, the account offers just about everything you might need in a basic checking account, from the ability to write paper checks to online ACH transfers.   Overall, a steady, reliable account that has served me well over the years. 

adityanm:  I was not paid, nor do I have any affiliation with this (or any other) bank. The post was just my perspective based on many years of being a customer.  My understanding is that this forum exists for both positive and negative reviews.  My experience with this bank happens to have been positive, so I wrote a positive review.  If you have had problems with the bank, or have anything at all substantive to say, I hope you'll post about it.
