Firstrust Bank

If you’re ultra-​conservative about your money this is the bank for you. I tried to cash a check from my employer and they called his home and our office and every other phone number he had listed to see if it was okay. This was kind of embarrassing for me because I didn’t want to bother my boss on the weekend and interrupt his time with his family, but that’s their policy. I just moved here from out of state, and if you want to open an account (so you can cash your check from your boss without disturbing him or her) here you need state ID, or a million forms of photo ID (actually 2 and a third with your name on it, a license and a passport) but who carries all that around with them. Their hours are inconvenient unless you work or live within a 5 minute walk from Rittenhouse Square.
Otherwise, it was nice that they had a clean, complimentary coffee station and the customer service was pretty good, if a little cheesy.
