Centennial Bank

I've had a checking account with Centennial Bank for several years now and have been very happy with the in-person service provided by Teresa, Jennifer, and Debbie in the Lake Mary branch.

Their Diamond Checking is an exceptional account for seniors (50+). They also have an excellent VIP Student Checking account for students age 18-25. Neither of those accounts has a monthly fee. Their Freedom Checking account is another good option (if you don't qualify for the above two) as it has no monthly fee, as long as you opt for estatements.

This branch is conveniently located (near Rinehart and H.E.Thomas Jr. Parkway) and also has reasonably priced safe deposit boxes.

One minor downside to Centennial, however, is their online banking, in that if you don't log into your online account frequently enough (e.g., at least once every 30 days), they will lock out your online access, in which case you have to call customer service (every time that happens) to have it unlocked.

Great service, personal attention, excellent professionals who know the banking and financial world.

Been banking here for over 3 years now very happy and very nice staff glad we dont bank at TD anymore
