Chase Bank

I am so glad this Chase branch exists just steps from my door. So often, the Chase storefronts on Michigan Avenue are thronged with tourists (paging Captain Obvious) or have a get in-​get out vibe with occasionally uneven service. I’m happy to report this is not the case here. Although Chase is a global banking monolith, this branch on Randolph has an almost small-​town bank branch feel, as I can count on being recognized and greeted by name whenever I come in here. The service is efficient and friendly and the ATMs and lobby/​entrance area are well kept. I stopped in last week on two separate occasions– to cash a check at the teller window and to speak with a banker about an upcoming trip that I have scheduled. The ease with which both of these transactions were handled made the rest of my day that much more pleasant. Oh, and the assortment of dum-​dums suckers doesn’t hurt, either.
