First Midwest Bank

btw, just to make more drama and stress, they sold our mortgage to some other company. So now, instead of useing our local bank and just making an automatic payment or going in person, we now have to mail our payments into some bank I have never heard of. Just great. high quality stuff here. we will be taking all our money out of this bank.

This is strictly for the ATM at this location. For one, most of my banking is ATM style unless it’s doing account changes then it’s Online or inside. I haven’t been inside this one so… ATM it is.
This is the old style ATM where you put your cash or checks in an envelope, fill it out and punch the deposit amount into the machine.
Yes… it takes a bit longer but, it will actually take the envelope and not spit it back out at you FIVE or more times because it’s «Unable to read one or more of the checks» like those damn Envelope Free ones.
Sure… the envelope is a waste of paper but, if I’m idling at the ATM for 5 or more minutes… Gas is $$$ now a days, I’ll waste some paper and save some time.
Oh, and there’s a nice overhang above, so you don’t get so wet when it rains. +1
