First Chatham Bank

Don't bother with national banks, everything you need is local

I love using this bank and will never go back to using a national bank. I banked with a national bank for years and was always being hit with miscellaneous fees just for using their services. I had had enough. The straw that broke the camel's back was them freezing my accounts after a fraudulent charge was made. It took them over a month to release the freeze on my account and release my funds to me. While waiting for this to clear up I finally decided to switch banks. I am so glad that I did. They have truly wonderful people working here and they are always friendly. I have only been in the branch twice and they already know my name. There are no hidden fees either, it's truly a free checking account. I cannot say enough good things about this bank and urge others to use them as well.
