National Bank of Georgia

Good ol’ NBG. You’d get five stars if the online banking website looked like it was something from the last two decades. Oh yes – and if it were something of use.
But let’s focus on the nice things. A small bank means that the people recognize you when you walk in. There are a couple people there in particular who are amazingly friendly and helpful. (Good ol’ LaRue has saved my sanity time & time again as I’ve handled the accounts for a business I help out with!!)
So yeah. A mundane thing to review, perhaps, but I thought I’d stick up a review for a Georgia bank when every other bank seems to be swallowed up by gargantuan monopolizing banking companies. Who knows? Maybe NBG is owned by one of ‘em and just gets to keep its home-​state name and I’m the fool.
In any case, consider getting an account here if you’re going to stick around Athens for four years of school. They’re helpful and nice, and the bank location is convenient.
