Flagship Community Bank in Clearwater, FL

Don't be fooled, there is no advantage over the big banks I left the big banks years ago because I enjoyed the personal touch of banking with people who know you by name. I knew that they would be more willing to work with me for any of my needs....but that's when times were good. I had been with them for 8 years, almost as long as they have been around. Even when I moved away I kept them because my finances were set up with them, automatic payments, debit purchases, direct deposit, I was loyal to them. But then times got tough. I lost my job, I had to move money around and sometimes I couldn't anticipate the automatic drafting of my expenses. Fees, Fees everywhere. I am working again and I can't keep up with the fees. Did I mention Fees? $400 in fees in just one month, to be exact. I will probably get the local news to run a story on this. Some payments I couldn't stop, some I did cancel but still pre-authorized. Even with my account falling into the negative, they were still authorizing transactions, just so they could return the money and collect the fee. They never lost a dime on me, but they are insisting that I pay these fees or they will put a debt on me. This is big banking practice. This is Bend Over America. I found that they are just as nasty as the fat pigs that run the large banks and they have no willingness to make it right.

Friendly, Honest Bank! Great Service.

The best banking experience you'll ever have, trust me. You're not a number but actually a person here, and the people are amazing!

Friendly, personalized service. Kind of reminds me of "Cheers" You want to go where everybody knows your name. It's true. They offer the personal touch that the "Too big to jail" banks miss.
