Do a google newgroup search on them. If they haven't paid some
lackey (maybe that's you?) to cancel the posts, there are numerous
complaints about them from several different parties. I researched
banks for AZ thoroughly and I would not do business with this
outfit. They are headquartered in Alabama and basically cannot be
regulated in Arizona, even though they do business here. Even the
Feds won't touch their bad practices. This is a rogue corporation
that preys on people in states where they cannot be regulated.
