I was told 'No' that I needed to be a customer. I explained to the Teller that I technically was a customer because you just charged me to withdraw money from your ATM. She said "No, you need have an account here. REALLY! You can charge me money to withdraw money from your ATM but you won't change 20s for 50s and 100s! I then explained to her that this is exactly why I DON'T have an account here. I left and went to a real bank (Citizens) where they happily exchanged the money for me.

You name it, Salem Five has it. Want free coin counting in this location? They've got it in house. How about very short lines? I don't think I've ever seen it busy where I waited for more than two people in front of me. Eeeemmm is that free Keurig coffee and CNN playing in the background in the lounge area? Nice touch! I don't get why people tend to gravitate towards something like Bank of America unless we live among that many zombies in America. All I ever hear are horror stories from customers there as I secretly laugh with glee how my bank has never taken an illegitimate penny from me. Do yourself a favor, drop the zeros and go with the local hero, you'll never change banks again.....I can assure you of that.

It took over 2 months to get the approval done and I was frequently not told where things stood or what was taking so long. I have taken on HELOC's before and it usually required less than 2 weeks from start to finish. Then, after finally getting approved, appropriating the approved funds was a complete mystery. They provided almost no instructions at all. A few weeks after signing/opening of the HELOC, I finally received a checkbook in the mail. I wrote a check to pay one of my other accounts and CSB rejected payment without even sending me an email or a notice. Completely amateur operation, IMO.
