Harris Bank

I think BMO Harris itself is a very quality bank. This branch takes it to the max with quality experience and customer service! Always friendly and more importantly helpful! The security guard, Officer Boyd, makes it a point to know everyone and truly has a very special interest in not only the customers but the neighborhood safety! And Jonathan Klippel is my go to guy for all personal and business banking needs. He’s always polite and professional and gets the job done quickly and efficiently! In the busy city and basically being right downtown, this bank makes you feel at home with small business quality!

Sadly no more free business checking without a minimum $ 1500 balance. Oh well. Still great customer service and a lot lower balance requirement than most banks in the area.

Simply put, this is a great branch. Nick is my go to guy and always gives great service. Roxanne is incredible and provides amazing account services. All of the tellers are very professional yet friendly and inviting. All around, my favorite bank that I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. Thank you for your support.

Harris Bank is another bank, whatever. But what makes this branch is the staff. Everyone is incredibly friendly, and the branch isn’t too busy so it’s easy to start up conversations and get to know them. Just yesterday I had a 10 minute conversation on bars to check out in the area, which was very helpful since I just moved down here.
And it wasn’t «oh here’s a printed pamphlet of bars to check out», the manager and teller both got into the question and came up with so many places I had to start writing them on the back of my deposit slip.
Even when I opened up my account, the rep didn’t rush me through the paperwork, instead engaging in conversation. You feel like a person, not a new account number or commission.
And the manager came and introduced himself, even though all I was doing was opening a basic checking account. Not to mention I got a $ 100 restaurant gift card for opening said account, and didn’t need to set up direct deposit to be eligible for said gift.
Finally, lobby has two ATMs, which is great if on the off chance someone else is using the ATM.
I suppose the only thing they could do better would be to give me free money, but a bank wouldn’t be in business too long doing that!
5 stars — As good as a free checking account and branch staff get.

I’ve had accounts with Harris Bank for years. I really like the services, the «Lion Power Checking» is really nice when you don’t have a lot of money or savings, which was my situation all through college. This Harris location is close to my work and so I’ve been going there regularly for several months. Everyone there is always super nice and the service is incredibly fast. Usually when I walk in the women at the counter are chatting with some customer or each other but as soon as they see me, it’s business. I really appreciate the balance they have between friendly service and good, quick service, I usually go on my lunch and it’s nice to not waste the whole hour standing in line.
I had to go in yesterday to close my account and I was preparing for there to be a hard sell for me not to leave. I was so pleasantly surprised when I went in. The associate who helped me, Nicholas Mutch, was incredibly nice. He asked if there was any reason I was closing the account and if I had any comments to make and when I explained to him it was just convenience he left it at that. He was really nice and made very pleasant and interesting small talk while he did the paperwork. The whole thing only took about 20 minutes and I left with a smile. I almost didn’t want to close the account after I had been talking to him.
I’m pretty sure this was the best experience I’ve ever had at a bank. They also have cake and coffee on the first Friday of every month, which I think is very cute.
