Everybody’s been so kind and helpful. It’s just a great experience. Bell is the best bank I’ve had. I don’t plan on changing banks ever again.
How I chose Bell:
My mom banks at Bell, so I opened an account, and I’ve never switched, because I really love it there. Everybody knows you by your first name and is willing to help you right away. The hours are nice, too. Sometimes I work later, so it helps me.
How long I’ve been a customer:
10 years
My favorite banker:
When I go in, the bankers are talkative, family people. Every time I bring my daughter in, they ooh and aah over her.
Nick Erickson has been a great help with our loans and mortgage.
My favorite Bell technology:
I like online banking a lot. It’s very helpful, because with the Bell Bank app, I can check my balance whenever I want.
My Bell products and services:
Business checking, credit card, mortgage, personal checking, personal loans, personal savings
What I tell others about Bell:
I tell other people about Bell all the time. I tell them it’s a great bank – the banking’s free, the hours are great. Everybody there is really nice. I like that everybody takes the time to get to know you when you come in.
