Banking with First Reliance was an overall frustrating experience. There fees were unreasonable and they were difficult to deal with when I needed to close a bank account after my divorce. I was charged a fee to buy checks and open a savings account. Charged monthly to use my debit card, and fees when online banking. Trying to get in touch with the bank was difficult. Dialing the local number I would get the 1800 number and not the back itself. That was annoying to me. Their tellers were kind but would never give a straightforward answer to certain questions when asked. When I ask about a fee I expect truthfulness. That's better than acting like you don't know. Over all it was annoying.
