“I get along good because I don’t have many wants.”
June Gregg, Loyal Customer of Huntington National Bank
How long have you been with your bank? Me, I changed again last month. My small town bank was bought out by a big city chain, and I decided it was time to switch. I’m not alone. This year almost 9 percent of us did that, up 1 percent from a year before. Banks spend a lot of coinage trying to woo customers like us.
But none of that matters to June Gregg of Chillicothe, Ohio (population 22,193). Miss Gregg has been with her bank for 98 years and she’s not going anywhere. In 1913, her father deposited $6.11 into Savings Bank for his then 1½-year-old daughter. In the 1980s, Savings Bank was bought out by Huntington Bank and Miss Gregg got a new account number, but other than that not much has changed over the years. The bank Miss Gregg trusted with two gold pieces she received for high school graduation in 1930 is the same bank where she tucks away her retirement savings today.
Huntington Bank threw a party for Miss Gregg last week to celebrate her 100th birthday. Miss Gregg says she wouldn’t consider banking anywhere else—she likes it there. Banks have a word to describe a customer like Miss Gregg: Priceless.
