Banks near Mendocino, CA

“Judging by the exterior of this 120 year old Mendocino Lodge No. 179, this historic establishment is a well-preserved remnant of California's bygone era.Originally constructed between 1866 and 1903 as a local Masonic Lodge, the structure is adorned with a sculpture upon a cupola.The carving, rendered from a solid piece of indigenous redwood, was created by Erick Albertson, a Dane who likely migrated to California from the state of Maine.Albertson became a local laborer, then later rose to the occasion of becoming First Master of Mendocino's Masonic Lodge, before sadly dying at age 37.The statue is an impressive, longstanding rendition of, "Time and the Maiden", a complex Masonic interpretation symbolizing how “time, patience and perseverance will accomplish all things."”

“So much more beautiful and expansive than I guessed from all the information available online. I loved being able to take our dog with us on the trails and wow what a great walk/hike!”

“When the dealership told me what the repair costs were going to be for a catalytic converter, I reached out to my Community First Credit Union. Amber and Mario worked tirelessly to help me through the loan process and we received an answer. Here’s the cool part, when my payback rate seemed a little high, they went back and worked on getting me a lower one, and they did. To me that’s real customer service. That is listening to their clients needs and limitations. It also shows genuine commitment and belief that Community First Credit Union really can make a difference in the lives of its members and their hard work proves it.Everything is good now I have my car back and a payment schedule that works comfortably for me.So to Mario and Amber, you guys are my rock stars. Thank you again.”

“Here is a landmark that has been part of our community for more years than I have been living. The location has a drive-thru which makes it convenient when it is raining outside, or you just don't feel like going in. I love how fast and easy this location is. The workers here treat you like you are famous no matter if you are rich or poor. When it comes to banking on the Coast look no further as Savings Bank of Mendocino County has you covered for all your banking needs.”

“Who doesn't love being able to go to the bank and do your groceries at the same time, this location is located inside of Safeway so it is very convenient. The lines here can get long during the lunch hour but the tellers and the rest of the people there try to make it as smooth and easy as they can to make your experience delightful. If waiting in line isn't your thing then there are two ATMs on site that you can use. If a loan is what you need they have that on location and they put you in a private room to make you feel secure and comfortable.”

“The manager is excellent. She helped a big check go through that the stupid corporate policy had a 30 day hold on just because it was a big amount. The staff is nice and friendly and tried to do everything in there power to cash my check. It was unfortunate that rich corporations have taken over so much control that they felt the need to try and keep my money for 30 days since it was over 10000 check. But the manager helped make that check into rightfully green 100.00 bills as it should be.”

“While I am aware of the dirty deeds Wells Fargo corporate has committed, I have been banking at my local Wells Fargo for more than 20 years and am perfectly happy with the service I receive.Occasionally, getting to a teller is a slow process and I'm elderly and find it difficult to stand for long periods; nevertheless, that's my problem, not theirs. I know they have a lot of turnover of tellers (is this location a training site for new tellers?). And sometimes the new people are scruffy or gloomy (not my idea of a good public interface), but the service has never been less than efficient and correct.I don't understand the one-star reviews. It's a shame that people can affect the overall rating of a business just because they had an incident that caused them aggravation, but there it is. The computer age. And everyone has an opinion.Thank you, Cheryl and Dawn and the rest.”
