My only gripe is that they are not everywhere. But their services are good enough that I drive 60 miles round trip to do bank business face to face when I need that special attention.

Overall, from the banks I have dealt with this one is by far the best for services offered and being fare for thw working people that utilizes their services.

From start to finish, it's never more than 3-4 minutes. Since BoB is a hometown bank, there's only one ATM, but what is so great is that they refund every ATM fee as a convenience for only having their one machine. Free checking. Free online banking. No account minimum. Easy deposit and withdrawal. I can't say enough good about this bank. Enough with the big national chains. If you want personal service and security with awesome perks, come to Bank of Belleville.

If you want your bank fees to go to your little bank's stock holders, keep on keepin' on! Right herein METRO EAST we have a home-citizen owned banking, savings & loan organization with over 41 branches in the St. Louis metro area--perfect for those of us living in here in metro east and commuting to metro-west or being a happy local resident! FIRST COMMUNITY CREDIT UNION is my bank (801 Lincoln Hwy. in Fairview Heights.) we're new to metro-east! We became one of the share holders/owners of a small piece of First Community JUST because of one or two features some other banks don't have namely, free checking, one-time one dollar membership fee, refunds on fees charged when you use other bank's ATMs, really-friendly-not-snooty associates (who work for the members and not the corporate stock holders,) a free set of 125 personalized checks and a personalized ATM card! They offer the lowest rates on car and home loans in the area. Online bill payments (much more secure than your mattress), 24/7/365 drive-up banking and everything your little network of stockholder owned banks have except their higher rates on loans. Remember, if you are a member the interest you pay on a loan goes right back to the share-holder/owners of FIRST COMMUNITY and that's what keeps the loan rates so low. They also have some of the services your stock-holder owned bank has like direct deposit. Who doesn't? There's a popcorn popper in every freakin' FOURTY-ONE of their branches to give you something to do while you're waiting for your dividend check, if you might have to sit down and wait, WHICH I doubt you ever will. YOWZAH!

Bank of America's closest location is O'Fallon, Il. You can imagine my surprise when I went there…read moreto find the bank manager at that location was from Vandalia. He, Andrew Sarver has since been promoted but he was the greatest asset I've ever personally witnessed in a business. He greeted every customer, shook hands, said goodbye, thanked people for their business. And Amy who is another executive at that location is just as amazing! If I had any issue she resolved it herself. She would not hesitate to call B of A HQ to solve any issue you bring to her. To actually enjoy going into the bank because you 'feel at home' with the people is really saying something extraordinary. This is a principle Bank of America was founded upon. These people in BofA O'Fallon, Il live it. And I had to go once to their Belleville location and was treated the same way by Meredith (sp) who also has since been promoted. I like the fact they have the resources to truly pay top talent for their security. I personally love Bank of America. I hope they maintain that reputation of caring for regular everyday folks
