Great bank!
When I lived in Provo, I used Central Bank, switching over from Wells Fargo. Personable service, and you can actually get to know the people that work there (turnover seems low). This has been a good overall banking experience for me, and even after moving to a different state, I've found it easier to continue working with them rather than switch to a new bank. They post funds quickly, offer free checking (or at least did when I signed up), and have a great online banking application that allows you to take pictures of checks and submit them rather than have to mail them in or hand-deliver them, which has been a lifesaver living several states away. Overall, a very positive experience, and I'd highly recommend them to anyone in the area; I do know they have other branches in the state, though this was the Provo Office was the only one I ever dealt with.
Warning To All Who Might Use Central Bank
