Wow, lots of 3rd Federal fans out there. Now I'm curious -- what makes it special? Maybe I should switch?

3rd Fed is my bank of choice. It makes it special because of their employees and their awesome customers. Without them 3rd Fed wouldn't be here. So a special THANKS to the customers for making 3rd Fed so special and unique. 3rd Fed always values their customers and another thanks to the employees. You make a difference.

I think you should go with a bank that's ONLY in Bucks County and keeps all their deposits only in Bucks...not Philadelphia. Go with First National Bank.

3rd Federal is a great bank with great hours, friendly staff, and they have that Fred guy. I wonder what Barbara has against Philadelphia....

I like the money that I deposit in my bank to be used in my community to build small businesses and give residents mortgages...not in another county -- nothing against Philadelphia, Michelle.

3rd Federal is my favorite community bank because every time I go into my branch the staff greets me by my first name! It's so nice to see the familiar faces everytime that I go!

First National Bank has been part of the community since 1864! Never been bought or merged... I have seen in the paper they are committed to staying independent, SAFE and SECURE! Also, have seen in the paper, they were not part of any goverment bail out. That is so important in this day and age

3rd Federal is the best bank around. The staff is always friendly, the checking is still free, and they have thousands of free ATMs. You can't beat this place. I will never use a big bank again. Switching to 3rd is best decision I ever made!

Oh Tyler- This is all in good fun. Other than bragging rights, and calling themselves the Best Bank in Newtown, it isn't a big deal, so let them have some fun!

I voted as a loyal Third Federal customer and I think a little competition is fun. It's good for all the banks involved and it's customers that get to enjoy this. Yay Third Federal! I wouldn't bank anywhere else.

I dont understand how you can get so upset. Do you work for TD or Bank of America? I'm sure there are just 20 people sitting all alone in a room doing nothing but clicking on this website to ensure their victory and to annoy you. Sounds quite logical to me :)

Have been with 3rd Fed Bank for 6 years! Great community bank. Will never go back to the BIG Banks! The service is fantastic, when you call, you get someone local!
I visit many of the branches, thru my travels and I am always greeted and my needs are always met. Thank you 3rd Fed you are the best!

First National Bank of Newtown is by far the best. It's outstanding customer service is reason enough, but has so much more to offer as well!
