Interrupting the OT with Notary / Chase Query

Got a call for a HELOC for tomorrow at 6:30 pm which would have to be done in a Chase branch, law office, or a title company.

Tell me gents and ladies...does any Chase branch (think banking branch) keep their doors open until 7:30 pm? It would take at least that long to do the loan appointment.

When I suggested the time would be impossible, I was countered with, "Not even on a Friday?" No...don't think so.

Or, am I just wacky and wrong? Are there late evening banking branches in any state opened so that you may walk inside after 7 pm on a Friday night?

Okay...now we can go back to the OT, mobs, the counter-mobbing, the paranoid, the passive-aggressive attacking and misinformation forum fracas.

Looks like most are open until 6 around me, although the website says many have extended hours. Not many in my area.

Nice breath of fresh air. I have a signing at a local bank tomorrow before 5pm and the LO will lock the door at closing time if we are not finished.

Colleen...

I have been there at 4:30 pm...seen them lock doors at 5 pm (same branch) finished at 5:30 pm. But . . . trying to keep the staff there until 7:30 pm would seem pushing it a bit to me.

Yes, keeping staff would not be acceptable. In the past, it has been the LO, myself, borrowers and the bank manager. A couple of tellers were lingering as well, but just doing what they would normally do to close out for the day.

Thanks, Cassie.

To the caller's credit, she did laugh when I told her that this town was a farming community and everyone went to bed at 7 pm...except on Saturdays. People stay up until 8:30 pm on Saturdays. Bath day, you know.

Yes!

Friday is payday for a great many people in Pittsburgh, banks in the suburbs stay open later to let you get your banking done, 7:30 is not unusual. They're also open Saturdays, sometimes until 1 or 3. Downtown offices are another story - sidewalks rolled up by 4:00 in most cases, but that's because they're within walking distance on a lunch hour for Downtown workers.

You wacky wrong person, you! So there!

Re: Yes! Marlene...

That's the answer I was looking for. I stand corrected...even if it is a farming community. I just cannot conceive of that in rural Texas. Thank you for expanding my horizons!
