M&T sucks ass for numerous reasons they charged me over draf fees for no reason and would only pay half of what the over draft total was. i closed that account shortly after. I’m with citizens right now for my local bank and love it. other wise try swiss or grand cayman 😉 ---

Taking out random amounts of $$ kicked ass. Pretty much between citizens and BOA at this time, possibly key depending on what nitroinsane tells me. Thanks for the good responses guys :tup: ---

Well lets see. With HSBC I have: -Free checking with no minimum balance -Online savings with no minimum balance, 3.5% APY right now -Banks all over the world (it sure was convenient being able to get cash on that little island off the coast of Mexico without paying a fee.) -Free overdraft protection. Why anyone wouldn’t want free overdraft protection is mind boggling. -Free online banking with a reliable website. -Evening and Saturday morning hours for that one time every few years when you need to do something in person. ---
