One of the basic problems of a “big” bank is

City National Bank is among the “big” banks
in the area. Yet, we are working very hard to
insure that all of our customers (even our
student customers) get the full services they
need.
CNB has young officers working directly with
student customers. We call them personal
bankers. You can call them friends — and you
can see them anytime, any day of the week.
