Country Bank Cares
My husband and I both do the majority of our banking with Country Bank, and we intend to do our mortgage with them when we buy a home. My husband has been with them for a long time, but I am a more recent customer. I used to be with a national bank chain that started charging fees left and right, and this bank already would not allow me to bank inside with the tellers without paying a fee. Country Bank still has free checking and savings accounts that do not require a minimum daily balance. They also have pretty good customer service. The tellers are friendly, and the customer service over the phone has been good. Although the bank is local and not always where I need it, they do charge no ATM fees for using SUM network ATMS. My only complaint is the layout of their website, but I would not expect such a local bank to have the same technology as the national chains.
