Jenna who is the branch manager to top notch. She and her staff have been very helpful with some out of country transactions and a variety of other transactions. I wouldn't expect to be reviewing a bank under normal circumstances, but Jenna and her employees are simply the best of any financial institution with which I have had dealing over a substantial period of time.
* this reviewer has be with this bank for >10 years
* this reviewer had 6 - 10 banks before.
