Choosing The Right Bank

March 14, 2012

 I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but in the past couple of year’s banks have changed.  Banks have really changed.  If you don’t know what I am talking about, stop in your bank when you have time.  Try and find a few familiar faces, people you have worked with or even just have seen over the years.  You might notice a lot of new faces.
