They steal our name for profit only. They give peanuts our community, and only sponsor A&M athletics for advertising. They are super slow with everything they do. I would seriously not even consider them.
TAMU should yank their exception for the Aggieland Name. They pay nothing to TAMU to use it.
I would check out Brenham National Bank or First Financial for your folks.
If they can join Brazos Valley Schools CU that would also be a good one.

"Aggieland" is not trademarked, or at least it was not a decade or go when I opened a small business with Aggieland in the name. I called A&M's licensing department to verify and they told me anyone could use it.

I have my business account with them and the account for the non profit I am the treasurer for. It's nice to be able to just go in and talk to a person who remembers you but being a part of the bigger group, there's plenty of ATMs and such across the state

Thinking back this was actually around 2010, so I guess they have trademarked it since then or I was told wrong back then. But I definitely advertised as "Aggieland __________" for many years with no issues.
I edited my post above.
Which is crazy because it's a dual property state.Hornbeck said:trouble said:

My personal stuff is there, and I've had car notes and mortgages with them over the years. I've been a member since 1991. They got sideways with me a few years back over a tax return check that was made out to me and the wife (she has her stuff elsewhere) and they didn't want to deposit it because it was made out to both of us (she endorsed it, and I had her DL). I told them that I might as well close all my accounts, and take my business elsewhere. The branch manager suddenly got involved, and made it happen.

How many banks in town would you say fit a narrow definition of "local"?
