A Guide to Banks in Waverly, Ohio

Waverly is a southern town in Ohio, about 65 miles south of the state capital, Columbus. It is also a small town. The population is an estimated 4,500 people.

What is unusual about Waverly is that even thought it is small, it is rich in banks. It has seven branch bank offices, nine if you count the fact that one of the banks, First National, has three locations.

Hearing this one would think that Waverly is a rich town. But that isn't true. In actualities it is mostly made up of middle class working people.

The town's major source of income comes from two small factories: Mills Pride and The Brown Corporation and one department store: Super Wal-Mart. Mills Pride is the biggest employer and they have been hit with financial woes in the past years and have laid off hundreds of employees. Yet, the banks still flourish.

All of the banks can easily meet the needs of their customers. They all carry the usual accounts: savings, checking, certificate of deposit, internet transactions. They also have credit cards and loan services. Yet, when viewed close enough one can still see a stand out positive and negative aspect of each bank.

Atomic Employees Credit Union is located at 190 Waverly Plaza Blvd (just off of Emmitt Ave). Their phone number is 740-947-4419. They cater to the Enrichment Plant Employees in Portsmouth, Ohio, as well as the local businesses and people of Waverly, Ohio. Although it has credit union in its name, it is still considered a bank, meeting all the needs. It's most positive aspects are that their customers have speedy service and they are known for offering special rates on their certificate of deposits. The most negative aspect is that their savings accounts do not offer the usual book type for one to record their transactions. The transactions are recorded on separate receipt type papers.
