Another option is BB&T. We have used them for over 10 years, first in VA then here. We have been extremely satisfied. They don't have as many ATM locations as Citizens, which is tied into the developer and therefore has a monopoly on ATM locations on Villages property, but there are tow branches accessible by golf cart, one near Colony Plaza and one in Southern Trace Plaza. There are a number of branches close by via car, including Wildwood, in Lady Lake on 441 near Rolling Acres Rd, and a number between here and Leesburg. They also offer the advantage of other locations throughout Florida and the south when you travel.
