Beware of Bank Financial!!! I was a joint owner on all my step fathers accounts for over 10 years…read moreand he passed away on March 16,2017. A week later I started paying some of his bills from our JOINT CHECKING ACCOUNT and went into the Joliet bank the next day to close out the safety deposit and was informed that they locked all of our accounts!!! I asked why and they informed me that my step father had a mortgage loan through them and he was the only one on the loan. So what!! I am a JOINT OWNER ON THE ACCOUNTS FOR OVER 10 YEARS!!! I asked will they pay the checks that I had written the day before and Noreen informed me they would not. I then spent over 5 hours on the phone with Ford for his car loan, city of Joliet for his water, Att for his cable, and Chase for his credit card to explain the situation and pay them over the phone out my own personal account and hope they wouldn't charge me for the checks that were going to be returned.They all understood and no none them charged the fee. So I get a call 4 days later from Noreen informing me that some checks are in and do I want her to put them threw. What? She told me 4 day earlier that they wouldn't. I said no. Then she asks me if anyone is living at the house and have I started emptying it. Who asks that? He wasn't even dead 3 weeks. Anyway with what we had in our accounts that they were holding and what he owed on the mortgage if we were to pay off the mortgage we would have only owed around $70,000. The house was valued at $200,00. I then preceded to get the house ready to put it on the market. My 24 year old daughter suddenly passed away on April 17, 2017. Our world went in a tail spin. We still continued to work on the house and wait for our lawyer to give us letters of office. They came in May and I brought them to the Joliet bank. I them waited 5 days for the hold to come off. It did not. I then called and spoke with Mary Tritsis and she reviewed the documents and said I guess I will let them take the lock off. What?? You have a copy of the will, the death certificate, and letters of office what more do you want. I put the house on the market for sale by owner and sold it within 18 days for $200,00. Four days after closing I went in and closed all accounts. So now not only does Bank Financial not have our accounts but they no longer collecting interest on the mortgage. How stupid is that? Good going Bank Financial. I called 5 other banks and all said they would never hold JOINT ACCOUNTS. I want everyone to beware of this bank. No other bank would do what they did. Chase, Bank of America, and BMO now have my business.

We spoke, in person, with FRANK MONREAL the branch manager. Other banks offered HIGHER interest rates, so all we asked was that Old Plank (owned by WINTRUST) MATCH the rate of other banks. FRANK MONREAL stated, "we don't match", so we told him we would be in on Thursday 3/5/26 to close the account, and pick-up the check. Thursday morning we went in, and were told by MARKEELA McDONALD that we could NOT get our money as today is FRANK MONREAL day-off, and he had authorize it, WHAT! ... FRANK MONREAL KNEW WE WERE COMING TO PICK-UP THE CHECK, AND THIS IS HIS DAY-OFF! .. Well, in any event, MARKEELA McDONALD did get authorization, and after 2-HOURS, we went back, picked up the check, and promptly took out a new CD with the bank that has our OTHER CD. By the way, this other CD was money ALSO taken from Old Plank (owned by WINTRUST) ... Old Plank is NOT a BANK I would recommend or trust, and judging by the other reviews, other people feel that same way! ...

Canals and Trails credit union is THE place to do all your banking! You will not be sorry!…read more I just can't possibly say enough nice things about this establishment and the wonderful people who work here! They take the time to get to know you, they recognize you and greet you by name when you come in, they are all very knowledgeable, honest and extremely helpful as well! I never realized just how much money these greedy profit-hungry Banksters have practically stolen from me throughout the years. I only wish I had l joined a Credit Union a LONG time ago! I'd definitely have much more money now. Canals and Trails Credit Union doesn't "fee" you to death, nor charge you up the wazoo for every single service they provide (as all the banks do)! Credit Unions actually ENCOURAGE you to SAVE your money, get and stay out of debt, and become financially secure. Canals and Trails Credit Union offers an ATM/Debit card, just about any service any banks nearby provide (well, except conning you out of your own money every chance they get), many different types of accounts to chose from and different programs available to help you be financially responsible. In the entire history of U.S. credit unions, taxpayer funds have NEVER been used to bail out a credit union! According to Bankrate.com, "Credit unions have topped the consumer satisfaction ratings in American Banker's annual survey for 12 years in a row." Here is a good article explaining the difference between banks and Credit Unions: http://money.howstuffworks.com/personal-finance/banking/difference-between-bank-and-credit-union.htm/printable

I have banked with the credit union for over 40 years. Their previous management was very good -…read morethis dates before an expansion to include a Romeoville credit union. The new management is inept. The banking processor for the credit union failed and online services were not accessible for a 1.5 weeks. During that time, the debit cards and automatic payments stopped working. NO explanation, other than processor issues, was given. No sooner than the online banking was restored, the CEO decides to revamp the website taking the website down again for home users. That is not very good planning or management. The CEO should step down. Their bank processor should be fired ASAP. Lastly, they have the gall to send 'non-use' notice for not using the BILLPAY system, Somebody is asleep at the switch.

My review is for FNBO in general and for experiences both at various branches and with the call…read morecenter. FNBO offers excellent products. Their credit cards have low interest rate and no balance transfer fees. Their Free Checking does not charge ATM fees when you use another banks ATM and is part of the Allpoint Network. They have ACH transfers on their online banking so you can pay a person directly to their bank account without forcing them to use an App such as Zelle, Paypal or Venmo. And they make the first $100 from mobile deposits available immediately. Their online only division, FNBO Direct pays very high savings account rates. Now the negatives. FNBO takes pride in being the largest privately family owned bank in the US. You should not be fooled when a business claims it is small or family owned, they can still provide you will poor service and treat you just like a number. In my case, on numerous occasions I have not found call center and branch reps to be very knowledgeable, nor do they necessarily value your longevity as a customer with them. In my experience, this bank generally fails to inform you of any expectations or policies that they may have that can affect you. When I made a large deposit to my account, they didn't just put a hold on the deposit, they froze ALL of my FNBO accounts for almost two weeks without telling me. When I reported my credit card stolen they CONTINUED to pay automatic payments with my new account number claiming this was the norm, my other banks didn't do that. They closed a small credit card with a $500 limit that I cosigned for my son who has had bad credit his entire adult life. My son had that card 17 years without a single late or missed payment. They waited 17 years to cancel the card? I have great credit and another FNBO card with a much higher limit. This is how they treat a customer of 17 years! And most cases when you call a branch, they don't help you. I called two Illinois branches to see if their ATM's accepted deposits because on the ATM locator, they weren't listed as accepting deposits. The people at the branches didn't even know if their own ATM's accept deposits. And they would transfer me to the call center where the reps were confused as to why my call was even transferred there.
