Avoid it - They lie about conditions and once you want to close the account and want your money back they loose the checks and ignore all communication.

Came here because I was having problems with my card's chip. Explained that I needed new card shipped to a specific address in Charleston, since I will be here for school. Not in Columbia, where the address associated with the account is. So the teller assured me that it seems to be fine and everything, but low and behold a week goes by and my new card showed up at the old address in Columbia. So then my mother had to pay to send it to me from there with two day shipping. Just is really annoying to not only be without my debit card for more than a week, but to have walked to this bank for no reason. I could have ordered a replacement card to the Columbia address online myself, I went in to get it handled and it just wasn't to my satisfaction.
