Customer Service

When I set up this card, Jeremy at the local Uptown Normal branch was very accommodating and helpful. I’ve never had a card like this before, so it was really important for me to be able to understand what I was getting into. He explained it very sincerely and in detail.

I didn’t know what a lot of that stuff was. I may even be using it and not aware of what it is called. Thank you!

I got this card for the 0% introductory rate

This allowed me to transfer a high interest balance and pay it off slowly over the last year. I plan to use the car now that it is paid down but I haven't really done much with it yet.

Poor rewards, poor security

This was a great starter card, since it had no fees, but honestly, I don't get much out of it. The rewards earned are far less than I get on my other cards. And I have very little faith in account security. I haven't had any security issues with the card itself for a long long time, but your online banking system still uses security questions during login. I understand that you're a small bank, but you are in desperate need of modern authentication
