Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Friendship employees are always so helpful whether by phone or in person. Very friendly, they listen to you and are quick to resolve and issues or explain things when it's just misunderstood. Even after moving over to Kentucky I still bank with them and make the drive.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

We love Friendship Bank. We followed John Rumsey (our banker) there many years ago and have not regretted it. The people are so sweet and helpful. We bank in Batesville now because its closer to where we live but we used to go to Dillsboro and then Versailles as they built new branches. They are the same in every location. Thank you all for such great service.

Excellent customer service. We felt they took the time to explain the varied services the bank offers. Home town feel all around. Thank you!

I always use the same computer. I rarely take it anywhere. I always use the same browser. And yet when I try to log in I'm regularly required to do two factor authentication (I can't say always because I haven't kept a log). And every time I have to use 2FA I check the box asking the system to trust my device. What do I have to do to make the IT people understand me?

Like Family

I've been with Friendship for many years, almost 8 in Batesville. I've gotten to know them, seen their people come and go, and missed them when they did. I look forward to catching up with Kim and all of the ladies when I come in. I truly consider them friends. I switched to them when I became tired of being nickled and dimed to death by the bigger, national banks. Just like in modern society, I was gradually being charged more and more money for less and less service. Friendship was the fix. Old school banking with old school service and charm. They don't call them "Friendship" for nothing. Thank you Friendship State Bank. Keep up the great work. 🙂

Wow—what an incredible review! Thank you so much for your kind words and for being such a loyal part of the Friendship family for the past eight years. We’re truly grateful for customers like you who value the personal connections and dedicated service our team strives to provide. Kim and the Batesville team always enjoy catching up with you, and we’re honored to be a trusted part of your financial journey.

It means a lot to hear that you’ve found value in our commitment to service without all the extra fees. Providing that "old school" banking experience with a personal touch is what we do best, and we’re so glad it’s made a difference for you.

Thanks again for your support and for sharing your experience. We look forward to many more years of friendship and great service! 🙂

A bank where you are treated with respect. Doesn’t take half an hour of clicks to talk to a live person. Website is user friendly. Convenient locations. We have used this bank for decades, and have not been disappointed.
