Default Good Bye to *our* Neighborhood Bank

I have been with 'them' formerly, [LACONIA SAVINGS BANK] for over Thirty-five years and on *First Name* relations with their "Long Term Devoted Employees". It has always been a neighborhood themed bank. {Family } I'm not liking this *Corporate America Make Over!* That said I am going to hang in there for a while and see where this **Sh!t Show** is going......... But I am looking for options of other financial agency's that still have that Neighborly, Homey Touch. I may have to look into a a local credit union also.

Not much has that neighborly homey touch anymore. When I walk in the bank I have to show my ID and they always want my debit card which I don't have. I don't like the world as it is becoming more and more every day.

FYI credit unions, I just went to one to check into a car loan. The rates are sky high (they used to have lower rates than others, no longer true) and they as much as told me that I should look elsewhere for better rates. I'm not sure there are any "good" financial places to be for the consumer any more.

Just a thought: would a HEL have bearable rates?

I have worked with DCU and GSCU since 2007 with great success. Not sure they're in your area but thought I'd mention them.
