I like the animated fly.

Then again, if a bank with a website like this did something silly like, uhh, transfer all my money to Nigeria, could I really complain about it with a straight face?

If they're not a real bank they're gonna get reamed for the FDIC logo.

Jeff Foxworthy said the essence of "redneck" is a "glorious lack of sophistication." Dunno if thats still the case, but its a marketing vein that might have a drop in it again since he tapped it out back when.

Jeff Foxworthy studied at Georgia Tech and worked at IBM before launching his comedy career.
This sort of marketing appeals to lots of people, including myself and many of the people with whom I interact on a daily basis. Of course it could only work online, but we've seen enough problems with online banking that online-only kind of scares me... still, I'm paying more attention to this than I've paid to banking in quite some time.
My tagline for my website is "Rantings of a Redneck Techno-barbarian". I've been hoping there was juice here again; glad to have a confirmation.
