“Arlene explained the new on-line banking system in a way that was easy for both of us to understand, plus helped Orville set it up on his phone. We are more confident that we will be able to make payments to our loan from our Apple laptop now, thanks to Arlene. She was more than helpful. Thank you.”

“I usually frequent the Johnston branch (however all branches are good), but the Johnston branch is the best in my opinion. Everyone there is friendly, compassionate and never make you feel rushed during your transaction.
I recently visited the Johnston branch and I had the pleasure of working with Brad (teller). I had some issues with my checking account. We worked through it, but it did take some time. I never felt like a burden, and he had knack of making me feel like I was the only one in the bank, and there isn't a line behind you. Again no rushing. This interaction was not a one off. I witnessed him treating the gentleman ahead if me the same way.
In the world of rush-rush, to be treated this way was refreshing. He also treated me with respect and compassion.
Brad is great employee, and an amazing front line representative for Veridian Credit Union.
I highly recommend Veridian Credit Union (I'm pretty partial to the Johnston location).
Thank you Brad for the amazing service!”

“My wife and I recently invested in a CD and opened a checking account with Veridian. We were very impressed with the benefits and extremely satisfied with the service. Isaac Dennis was helpful, knowledgeable and courteous.”
“Michele at the North location was so helpful, knowledgeable and friendly! We appreciated her promptness and professionalism.
Our family highly recommends this location for all your banking needs!”
“Every time I go to VisionBank (Doesn't matter which location!) I am greeted with a smile and great conversation. They even accommodated me when I needed to use their conference room to split money into 15 different envelopes without an appointment to use it. I highly recommend VisionBank as their customer service is unmatched.”
“Nick asked me if I wanted a money order or a cashier's check and explained it without seeming irritated by it. I had actually never asked before. He went over everything and still asked if I had anything else.
Great and friendly guy!”
“We do all of our banking at Availa because of my parents having a relationship there. Dad always said you need a local banker and of course he was right! We have worked with both Jon and Andy, on both sides of the house, and everything has been flawless and simple! Going in to see them to discuss our next banking adventure is always a joy and we value this relationship tremendously!”
“My husband and I set up new joint accounts when we got married. It became a long process with name changes and getting all the right documents but Sarah and the Ankeny LSB team did an amazing job helping us out and being patient with us! We cannot recommend Lincoln Savings Bank enough!!”
“I just wanted to take a moment to give a shoutout to the sweetest woman who works at the Ankeny location Community State Bank. As a server, I’m in and out of the bank regularly to deposit tips, and this young woman, who worked on Saturday morning, 3/29/25, always brightens my day! Not only is she always so kind and attentive, but she remembers the little things that make a big difference. I often bring my dog with me, and she always makes sure to grab a treat for her. Even on the days when my dog isn't with me, she still remembers and brings me a treat, showing just how thoughtful and considerate she is. I truly appreciate the care she puts into her work and how she goes above and beyond to make every visit a positive experience. Thank you for being so amazing!”
“Kurt Backes and his team at GreenState Credit Union provided exceptional service during our recent home loan process. From start to finish, they were professional, responsive, and incredibly helpful. They worked diligently to secure us a great interest rate, and made what can often be a stressful process feel straightforward and stress-free. We were impressed by their teamwork and expertise. We highly recommend Kurt to anyone in need of a reliable and trustworthy loan officer.”
“Judson and Brooke are the best! They do not mess around they are quick and know what they are doing. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for commercial financing.”
“I can not say enough about Greenstate credit union, specifically the urbandale location. Walking in there, it’s such an up beat and welcoming environment. The staff is always so willing to help and so friendly!! We live in grimes and would rather drive to urbandale just because of the atmosphere!!”

“The ATM here is literally an automated teller machine and allows you to withdraw funds, but also to make deposits by scanning a check and if you get stuck during normal business hours you can connect to a remote teller/personal banker for assistance.”
“Cassidy was very quick, helpful, respectful, and was able to help out with exactly what I was interested in, thank you for the great service and welcoming environment!”
“I want to thank this stop for outstanding performance of taking everything ready 4 me. Do to my nature of my job, I came always to this stop in particular, and they are ready with the customer service. Outstanding performance gentlemen. Thank you so much for servicing me.”
“Best bank I have ever had! They have been so helpful during our time here (recently moved in from out of town). They were very patient and informative when walking us through getting our first mortgage. They even reached out when we hadn’t out of ignorance. This helped us lock in a lower interest rate as they were set to go up within days. To me that says a lot about their integrity and care for their customers. The blame could have easily fallen on us and the bank clearly stands to benefit from us paying a higher interest rate. I haven’t even mentioned all the great features/services they have available, and I love banking locally.”
“Just moved to Ankeny and started new accounts at Central Bank. The branch manager was extremely helpful explaining the various options available that met our banking needs. All the bank staff are friendly and eager to assist you in whatever you need to accomplish. If this bank had problems in the past the management team has made corrections to make it a very good bank now. We are happy with Central Bank. Give them a try, we think you will be happy too.”
“I highly recommend the Ankeny branch. Devin was nice and he helped with our relocation and adding me to a joint account. Then the real star here in Ankeny Is Emily. She went above and beyond to help me get logged in when I was having technical issues. She was so helpful and kept reaching back out to me. I’ve never had such hands on help from a bank before.”

“Mark and the team at Charter Bank have been amazing to work with! From home loans, car loans, to business loans they are hands down my go to bank of choice! I would encourage you to give them a try as well! -John”
“I own a small business and had been working with Wells Fargo for my commercial banking. Their business banking services continued to get worse and worse, so I decided to move my accounts to a community bank. After searching, I chose Northwest Bank. It was one of my best decisions as a business owner.
The Northwest Bank staff were able to set up checking and savings accounts and transfer funds in quickly. We then secured a business loan to purchase a commercial building and then another to support operations. I’ve been able to meet with staff to talk about strategic growth and current and future needs. At every step, the tellers, the loan managers and even the bank President have been fantastic! They know me by name and care about my business. It has been a refreshing change.
We’ve since started a second business and run it through Northwest Bank too. I would highly recommend them to any small business looking for more personalized service and collaboration. Thanks, Cara, Amy, Josh, Chase, Ashley and everyone else I’m forgetting!”
“I have been coming to this bank for work everyday for almost 2 years. Let me just say I love this location. Tyler the manager is just amazing. Also Megan,Thanh and Debbie are just the nicest to me everytime I come in. They always go out of their way to help me and make me feel like family. If you ever have the chance to come here, you will not be disappointed. 10/10 customer service!!!!”
“I am the President of this Bank. So of course I will give a 5 star as I know that we live and breath for the best of all. We are a 5th Generation Family owned Bank that cares about its community, employees and customers. The reviews on this page are a very unfortunate representation of our Bank. The Staff works very hard to Ask, Listen and Solve our clients and employees concerns. We are here to protect, you, your money and build a relationship of trust. Give us a chance to earn your business. We will prove it every day.”
“We had the best experience with Brandon Converse for our home mortgage loan. He explained everything in detail which was perfect for us being first time homebuyers. Luana offered the lowest interest rate, I would highly recommend checking them out for refinancing or new loans!”
