I was refused service by this bank, the staff was very roundabout and not very helpful.

I walked in on a Friday 30 minutes to close looking to make an account with the bank. I asked if it was an inconvenience to open account this late in the day and if so I would just come back the following week when I had time. The banker told me opening an account takes 45 minutes. I thought that seemed long, but I figured no harm no foul I ll come back next week.

When I arrived early morning next week to set up an account, I asked for the free checking option and explained that I managed a business in the neighborhood and my primary use of the account was to stop in weekly and make change for my till at work. The banker then informed me that the minimum deposit would require $50 to open the account. This seemed very high to me, like she was trying to get me to walk out the door. I had brought $20 with me to make the account but did have additional funds in my vehicle which I went and grabbed. By the time I got back I was told that they would not do business with me because the account would not be active enough. Just absurd.

P.S. I opened a bank account at a nearby bank. It took 8 minutes and $10 deposit.
