Going to the bank to make a deposit today is about as practical as driving to one of the few remaining phone booths to make a phone call. With the advent of the cell phone, such a thought seems ridiculous. With the advent of advanced technology to deposit your checks from your home or business scanner, the thought of fighting through traffic to stand in line at the bank is equally ridiculous. Traditionally, people have had a choice of banking with an Internet bank that delivers a high level of convenient technology or a community bank that understands the meaning of relationship. Affinity Bank brings the best of both worlds together, saving our clients time through our technology-driven operating platform while providing the highest level of personal service. Let us show you how to kick up your feet and bank from the comfort of your own home or office. That is, of course, unless you're one of the few people that enjoy driving to the nearest phone booth.
