So I’ve finally had it with M and T bank for reasons I won’t go into here. And am looking to bring my account to another bank. Anyone have any good suggestions? I want a checking account, I’ll have direct deposit, and online banking is a must. So I want to know if they have a good online banking set up. anything good? ---

HSBC, not that im biased or anything, i only work here. But they do have a free interest(LOL, like 0.01%) checking account and branches world wide, and a quality online site. Most banks will have what you’re looking for. ---

HSBC has branches in Canada too correct? that’d be a plus. I’ve never really heard bad things. I’ll have to see what the closest branch to me is. ---

I hate M+T also and prefer my HSBC accounts. HSBC’s login is annoying as hell, but it’s not a big deal. I’m thinking of transferring my accounts from M+T to BOA though, their customer service is spot on! ---

> [@sureshot!](#): > > Were they really your mistakes that you really didn’t want to accept responsibility for, and as a result have a misplaced anger towards them? > > No offense, but I’ve done that before… with banks. this specific time, no. I actually over looked it thinking it was my mistake, but they were clearly in the wrong and wanted nothing to do with helping me correct it. Eventually it got sorted out correctly, but it was just a frustrating event getting to that point But I do still have a cc with them ---
