Finding the Right BankMarch 16, 2018 When it comes to managing your money, there is a lot you can do on your own to save and spend efficiently. When you want to take your financial management to the next level – buying a house, taking a vacation, buying a car, starting a family – you need to work with a reliable bank. Choosing the right bank can be a huge decision, so we’ve made a quick checklist of what to look for. Good Reputation and Relationship Have you heard of the bank before? Has the bank been in the community for some time? While new banks may be trustworthy, there is something special about the history and growth of long-standing banks. Wilson & Muir Bank has been growing and serving for over 150 years. That’s a long time to learn how to serve in the ever-evolving industry. Types of Accounts Offered Of course, a checking account is a must-have for direct deposit and spending. If you’re looking to open a savings account, the bank must offer competitive rates to ensure your finances are growing as you’d like. Moreover, long-term investing is vital – banks that offer reliable IRA’s are focused on your future well-being. At Wilson & Muir Bank, our different types of accounts are designed for your various needs and visions. ATM and Branch Locations Is your bank conveniently located near your home or workplace? When choosing your bank, you want to make sure you can get to your bank or ATM quickly and efficiently to save money and time.

Online and mobile banking are now the norm. Accessing your finances at any point in the day is crucial, and WMB realizes this.
