Oh my goodness, a bank with integrity...what a good, old-fashioned concept! TCP Financial actually has to ask permission to give the money back...here's the video interview:

Marlene, This is so interesting! We need more guys like this and what's the goverment doing almost strong-arming someone to take the money in the first place.

So now that have to wait 30 days to see if the goverment will even take it back??? Go figure!

Hi Marlene, I believe your video disappeared. I don't even see a link for it. But the idea behind it is sure there and it is wonderful that Integrity is alive and well at least in some parts of the country.

Maggie Darllin' - Like you, I sure hope the positive word gets out about this bank. Can you imagine that the Chairman of the Board doesn't even take a salary? What a concept.
Hey Lynda - I couldn't believe that they actually have to fill out some paperwork to return the money and then wait 30 days to see if it's okay. Wow, wouldn't it be nice to just collect the interest on that cash for thirty days? It would certainly make a difference in a family's life wouldn't it?
Hi William - Yes, I agree. Integrity is an underused noun in our current society. There sure is something to be said for this economy if it actually brings out the best in people and in businesses.
