New Old Bank

Our bank (Midamerica Bank) was purchased by National City and the transfer was finalized over the weekend. All the navy and white signs are not replaced with green ones.

Today was the first day I could access our accounts on line. I had received a letter with my new log-in ID. It said my temporary password would arrive in a few days but I didn't get it.

So, with some help over the phone, I was able to answer enough questions on line that I was allowed in and I reset my password. All set.

We have been researching other banks looking for one that will allow what National City will, calling them grandfathered. We have free checking with no minimum balance and earning a little interest.

We have no minimum balance on our passbook savings account either. I hope this stays the same. Its interest rate is barely more than the checking account.

We went into our favorite branch bank on Friday and chatted with one of the familiar tellers. She said no one there was being let go and we would recognize the same faces.

We're hoping things remain the status quo.

'til later
