I'm considering closing my personal Wells Fargo accounts and moving to a different Bay Area bank. So, HN: Who do you bank with and why? Are all the large banks run by crooks?
If you have a family member who is a member of the military or attached in a civilian capacity, I highly recommend Navy Federal Credit Union. They payback all ATM fees and have a great online banking platform (including mobile deposit). Therefore, you rarely, if ever, need a physical branch.
Second Ally Bank. I've used them for about 3 years now, and can only say good things. Their newly offered credit card is run by a third party, which I might avoid. Standard banking is really great. I don't miss the physical branches.
Same here. I've been using Simple less and Ally more. It's nice to have a checking and a savings account at the same bank (instant transfers). Check books are also convenient.
my little local bank (coast hills fcu) isn't the greatest and the online banking sucks big time...i'm looking for a fairly solid new bank that treats you decent and has good-great online banking.
OP banks with Wells Fargo, who are by recent accounts, actually crooks. Fair enough question from someone who was recently burned by what appeared to be a "reputable" bank.
