Seems like all their banking centers are in WI, furthermore their fee policy is outrages, you will pay for making phone enquirers on your account ect.

Currently, First Banking Center requires you to visit a branch in order to complete the application process. Hopefully they will have an on-line application process in the near future.

Great if you live near a branch. They need to make online account setup.
