Read Financial Self Defense by Charles Givens. One of his sugestions is to make friends with your branch manager. Did I do this with the motive to not get ripped off? No. I did it so I could call in favors when needed. Its actually been a 2 way street I have helped her and she has I. I cannot even go into all she has done. Allowing a negative balance on my payroll acccount was NOTHING compared to other solids she has done for me.

The bottle of wine and other occasional gifts are done out of gratittude on my part to show appreciation for the kind things she does. When someone actually thanks you for the service you provide you'll tend to go out of your way for that person.

Try it you might be suprised how nice it is to be treated like someone very important every time you walk into your branch.
