1 /5 Ernie Griffin: Both me and a friend opened a high interest checking account with peoples bank a few months ago and deposited $15,000 each. The entire time we owned the account, we were treated like criminals because of certain types of transactions we did which, is honestly none of their business since it’s our money. They even called to verify transactions several times and when we confirmed them, they acted like they didn’t believe us on the phone and they kept our debit cards locked for several days after we confirmed the transactions. Then, we both got certified letters today saying that they were forcing us to close our accounts. If they don’t want $30,000 to loan out to other customers, we will be happy to take our money out and go with a bank that will give much better customer service than these people. Never do business with them. Find another bank.
