TFNB Maine Review
I had been using an internet bank for a number of years up until recently. The bank was strictly online, except for a few branches ONLY in the state of Indiana. So while I had no ill will towards the bank, or bad experiences, I had to find something more local to my state of Maine. Most people I know bank with The First National Bank. I wanted to open an account at the local branch in Damariscotta, Maine. The process was fairly quick and painless. I'd say about 12 minutes? I filled out some paperwork, showed some identification, and within 12 minutes I had a new account and an instant Debit card to use immediately. I've had the account for about four months now. I love the convenience of using the online banking, while still being able to go directly into the local branch if I am in need of something.
Customer service has been awesome, if they suspect fraudulent activity, they will immediately put a hold on your debit card and call you or text you so that you can verify that a purchase was indeed you. Some may find it inconvenient to have to call back and answer questions, but I think that's great. It makes me feel much more secure with my banking. I highly recommend The First National Bank. I currently have just a checking account, but am considering opening a saving as well. I am enrolled in insufficient funds protection currently, which is great for those times (though hopefully rare!) when you've forgotten about a transaction and your slightly short on funds.
