I immediately went to Prairie State Bank & Trust and they made it all better! Alyssa helped me immediately and I was done in under 20 minutes. She took my info, set the account up, explained the paperwork, and not once did I feel rushed or overwhelmed (or like I was a bum for wearing work clothes). The entire time she was very professional and sweet. The building itself is nice and clean (even the parking lot was spotless lol). My butt should have listened to my mom and gone here first! Thank you Alyssa and Prairie State Bank & Trust for taking such good care of me after PCN failed miserably.

I don't have an account with this bank, but I went to the Urbana branch on Springfield Ave. in…read moredowntown Urbana to find out about the foreign currency exchange at their bank. The teller I talked to sounded impatient with me in explaining their service (her tone of voice, no smile, ways of answering, for example). She wanted to know if I'd be opening an account just for the currency exchange. If so, they "don't do that," she said. Again, the way she talked to me sounded like "looking-down-on-you" or "are-you-just-taking-advantage-of-us" to a potential customer because I was willing to keep the account for some time (to which she said, "ok"). She's supposed to be a supervisor, as the sign at the counter suggested. Her rather straightforward, no-mincing-word-talk sounded like this bank just wanted to make money, not to nurture loyal customers. I don't recommend this bank.

My rating is just average. I'm looking to join a new bank, and was hoping that the website would…read moregive me enough information to understand HOW the various checking account options work. Does this bank charge for mobile deposits (checks made out to me deposited via the app)? ever? always? Does it charge for any other kind of digital deposit (paypal, venmo etc)? I can't figure it out - it's like they don't really want me to know about how their accounts work. Sadly, this is likely to mean that I don't find out whether it's good to bank at First State. I'm not going to gear up to switch banks unless I can find one who still has what mine used to have before it was acquired by a bigger bank. I know websites take work, but building a static page that really lets folks know about the accounts the bank offers is NOT hard. Disappointed,.

Went through drive thru where I explained my situation and let them know I didn't have my account number. They assured me that I was fine. Signed the check and then was immediately told I needed my account number. Now I have a signed check. I called my wife, finally get the info. I bring it in where I am then told that shared branches won't cash checks. As I began to get pretty upset and explained everything I had been through, she simply smirked with a little laugh and said "sorry" turned around and walked away. This bank sux.

I've researched mortgage prices for myself and others numerous times and Busey has, without exception, been the cheapest place in town for the last 10+ years.

I've also held several personal and business accounts at Busey and while I have had problems now and then I know from experience that Busey is more forgiving in most issues than other banks.
