They say they're an FDIC member.

The FDIC says [1] Redneck bank is another name for All America Bank, which has been insured since December 22, 1969.

There are at least two populations that would like this, IMO: a hipster crowd who are not in any way like rednecks, and the country crowd who look like rednecks to outsiders and call themselves rednecks, but who insist, if you ask them about it, that they're being tongue-in-cheek about it. In my experience, the latter group is having more fun.

I don't know if I'd ever actually sign up for Redneck Bank, but I definitely would never have heard of All America Bank without it. Maybe that's their play here.

Those are hipsters.
