Bank Independent Needs to Step Up

 

 

Bank Independent is building a huge corporate office on old TVA land in Colbert County (Features of the new operations center - Spacious offices, Communal work spaces, Training rooms, Fitness center, and Parking for staff). Bank Independent is building a new stadium for the University of North Alabama (or at least greatly contributing). Meanwhile in North Florence...uh, nothing. Customers don't rate even a kiosk to make withdrawals.

Quad-Cities Cuisine recently mentioned how the narrowing of Pine Street will affect dining in the Shoals; how about banking? Who in North Florence will venture to the kiosk on Pine at UNA? 

Some of us are lucky enough to enjoy a second bank account that utilizes an Allpoint terminal, but even that is more difficult since the Wood Avenue Walgreens shuttered its doors. What about those who have only their Bank Independent account on which to depend? Chopped liver?

Bank Independent, are you listening?

Speaking of the local university, we see the UNA meme page is encouraging the use of FU as an abbreviation for the school. That could be a copyright infringement. After all, everyone knows FU has always been the motto of Florence Utilities.
