Honestly, I'm not entirely sure why people still do business with Wells.
My hometown isn't a big town and Wells is there. Known the people that were there since I was five years old. Their corporate sucks, but the locals are good. This is the first time that a Wells issue has been a giant PITA.
Fair enough. I hope this particular situation gets cleared up for you quickly. It goes without saying, but they've got policies in place and scandals under their belts that the local guys can't do much about. But it's still beneficial to know someone, so you've got that.
I've actively recruited against large banks for 20 years, and they just keep making that job easier and easier. With the wide range of products and features offered by community banks these days, including merchant services, courier pickup, refunded atm fees, etc... those advantages the national guys used to have with their hundreds of locations are simply gone. Add to that the superior customer service and the sense of community that causes us to quite literally work around the clock during times like these, and it's a no brainer.
No matter where you all bank, however, I hope the PPP stuff gets sorted out soon. It's going to help a lot of people, assuming your applications actually get processed.
