Libertyville Savings Bank: Fairfield W Jefferson Ave, Fairfield

My Bank is closing. I'd been 48 years at the same bank. I always heard good things about Libertyville Savings. But as someone else posted they require a credit check to open a checking & savings account. I NEVER let anyone run my credit score unless I'm borrowing money. I just stood up & walked away. I'm sure some other bank will take my money.

I went to Libertyville Savings to open a checking account, bringing with me $5,000 with which to do so. I was ushered into the office of a bank officer who opened our conversation with: "I just want you to know that we require a credit score of 640 or higher". and offered me a form to sign for a credit check. She added "Some people don't want to do this because they feel it may lower their credit score." Indeed, a hard credit check will do that. I politely declined and left, and later called the bank asking to speak with Greg Lowenberg, as I know him from his days at Central Valley Bank. The receptionist checked with Greg, came back after about two minutes, explaining that Greg was "not available". I left a voicemail requesting if rMr. Lowenberg would please return my call. He did not do Thinking it had been so long since I had opened a bank account that I didn't know all banks do this, I contacted three banks in Fairfield, to ask if they required a credit score of 640. All three advised that not only do they not require a particular credit score, they do not run credit score checks on those who come to open accounts. I went to Libertyville savings with $5000 to put into their hands for safe keeping. They were not putting one thin dime into mine. Now who should be checking whose credit score here?

We have been banking with Libertyville Savings Bank for over 20 years, and have been treated fairly, and always greeted with a smile. The atmosphere is always pleasant, and they are all personable, as well as efficient. I recommend them to anyone looking for a bank.
