Northern Bank & Trust

Nicest little bank around. Why be in a mega bank when you can get everything you want or need at a small, local, caring bank? They want your business.
Only about 10 branches, all local. Fully insured, so your money is never endangered. Personal and business accounts. EVERY service you need: There is a national ATM network, debit/​credit/​check/​ATM card, free checking, unlimited checking transactions, free online banking, check images available, notary, etc etc!
Caring, competent, and nice management — (Nancy and Gertrude). When I wrote a check from the wrong account and overdrew it, I got a nice personal call from the manager letting me know, so I could straighten it out that same day, and avoid any more fees.
We now have multiple free checking accounts there (free because I keep $ 500 in a savings account). We are in the process of moving all accounts from Bank of America, after a few months trial at Northern Bank — they are the winner.
