How familiar are you with banks? Do you have a checking account? How about a savings account?

Let’s take a hard look at banks. Most people are familiar with only two things that a bank does, checking accounts and savings accounts. Let’s start with those two and add:

·       Certificate of deposits

·       Money market accounts

·       Credit and debit cards

·       Auto loans

·       Mortgage loans

·       Student loans

·       Retirement accounts

·       Investment accounts

·       Insurance

·       Wealth management advice

·       ATMs

Visit your local bank. Get to know the people who work there. You’ll find that most people who work in banks are very helpful and they really believe in “customer service," at least the bank I use does.
