Glenview Bank & Trust Waukegan Rd, Glenview

I asked about opening a checking account. The woman said they charge $100 to open an account. I said " you have to be kidding me, $100 to open an account?". Here response," if you don't like it, you can bank elsewhere." I was a commercial banker for ten years, with attitudes and policies like this, I don't know how they stay in business.

Unlike many of its competitors, Glenview Bank offers a range of checking accounts that come with a variety of perks

Great people! They know you by name and it has a small Bank feel.

So, it's1987, I'm living in downtown Chicago, and I get laid off. I take 3 jars of coins to a bank, to cash out, and the teller (foreign) mumbles something. Turns out, he was mumbling that it was 10% coin counting fee, which I would not have agreed to if I understood him. So, I ended up paying $17 to count $170 worth of coins, and I needed that $17. Today, July 25, 2020 ( I heard there was a coin shortage in the US) I took my jar of coins into the lobby of this bank, and the machine quickly counted it, and they gave me cash with zero coin-counting charge. It was fast, easy....and I do not even have an account with them. I appreciate that this bank offers this service to the community. I do have an account with another local bank. But most of their branches do NOT have a coin-counting machine on premise. The coins get bagged and sent to some remote location, and in around a week, a deposit for the value of the counted coins shows up in my checking account.

A great bank with bankers who care, they are part of the WinTrust family of banks and these bankers are great to deal with and care about you and your business.
