Oakwood Bank

The smallest bank in America runs the old fashioned way. Balances are kept on index cards, transactions calculated by hand, and tellers know every customer's name.

That's pretty quaint and kind of cool. If the computer banking systems go down in America because of a terrorist attack or a EMP surge, these guys will be able to serve their customers. But sadly, this will probably die out after the owner dies and the two ladies retire.
