At the intersection of Kent Kangley Rd (516) and Maple Valley Hwy (169), also known as Four Corners, is a quiet and charming little bank across from Shakey's restaurant. The people who work there are good natured and welcome you upon entering, and everyone wanted to help me!
If you want a neighborhood bank where you don't feel rushed, don't feel like a number, like the bankers I remember when I was growing up, then this is the bank for you. (Some banks are just getting too big, too fast) I immediately built a rapport with my banker and after discussing my personal banking needs, I whole heartedly believe that she is a banking SME. We got to know each other and even found out that she lives in my community!
Really, in the age of technology, it's not an issue for me to have ATMs at every corner. All I need is a grocery store if I need cash, other than that - have debit card will travel. Their rates are competitive with the bigger banks, so, for me, it's service that makes a business stand out from the rest.
A few days after opening up a bank account(s), my sent me a personally signed welcome letter. You know it's little, but it's these little things that matter to me.
