Harris Bank Evanston

I have been a Harris customer for 25+ years and am actually a former employee at a different location. This location is closest to my home and the poor service at this location is making me rethink a lifelong relationship to the bank. Management changes often and is rarely onsite. The few personal bankers in that office, when someone is actually there, are pretty incompetent and not very responsive. I would not recommend this branch of Harris Bank to anyone.

If you use Harris Bank for your banking, and you haven’t yet signed up for their account aggregation product, Harris Total Look, I recommend you check it out.
I signed up for Harris Total Look when it first came out, and now I have my complete financial picture in one location. I can see everything — credit card information, car loans, mortage, savings, even my bank and savings balances from my accounts in various locations in another country.
Total Look allows you to add accounts with a few clicks of the mouse, and it keeps the information current. You can also manually add information that is not available online, such as the cash value of an insurance policy.
If you are serious about your financial planning, this is a fabulous tool to use.
I also use the Harris Bank Bill Pay system, and have never been disappointed.

This isn’t my favorite bank in Evanston. It’s too slow and bland for my taste. BankOne is better. But, the transactions get done and money doesn’t get lost, so this bank is at least doing its job…
