Glenview Bank & Trust Waukegan Rd, Glenview

I asked about opening a checking account. The woman said they charge $100 to open an account. I said " you have to be kidding me, $100 to open an account?". Here response," if you don't like it, you can bank elsewhere." I was a commercial banker for ten years, with attitudes and policies like this, I don't know how they stay in business.

So, it's1987, I'm living in downtown Chicago, and I get laid off. I take 3 jars of coins to a bank, to cash out, and the teller (foreign) mumbles something. Turns out, he was mumbling that it was 10% coin counting fee, which I would not have agreed to if I understood him. So, I ended up paying $17 to count $170 worth of coins, and I needed that $17. Today, July 25, 2020 ( I heard there was a coin shortage in the US) I took my jar of coins into the lobby of this bank, and the machine quickly counted it, and they gave me cash with zero coin-counting charge. It was fast, easy....and I do not even have an account with them. I appreciate that this bank offers this service to the community. I do have an account with another local bank. But most of their branches do NOT have a coin-counting machine on premise. The coins get bagged and sent to some remote location, and in around a week, a deposit for the value of the counted coins shows up in my checking account.

Unlike many of its competitors, Glenview Bank offers a range of checking accounts that come with a variety of perks

A great bank with bankers who care, they are part of the WinTrust family of banks and these bankers are great to deal with and care about you and your business.

Great people! They know you by name and it has a small Bank feel.
