Availability
Headquartered in Ames, Iowa, VisionBank of Iowa’s market area is primarily the central Iowa counties of Ames and Boone. I say "primarily" because of the following statement, located at the bottom of the Bank’s CD Special page.
Rates not applicable to Public Funds, Institutional and Out of State depositors without a primary checking relationship.
When I asked for clarification on that statement, CSR stated that VisionBank will, "gladly open out-of-state accounts, but the account must be opened in person."
Opening the 14-month CD Special can be done at any of eight Iowa branches located in Ames (3), Boone (2), Grimes, Huxley, and Ogden.
