Default Citizens bank

We keep enough in to avoid fees and they are very helpful & convenient. Only minor annoyance, they seem to hold large checks for longer clearing time than my banks up North. We had been chasing MM interest rates but everywhere seems dismal now so we just leave those funds at Schwab (branch is in Sumter Landing).
We looked at Vystar and Campus Credit Unions but haven't taken the plunge yet so I'm glad to see some feedback on this thread.
Nothing against Citizens but when I checked out their mortgage interest rates and found them to higher than their competition that was enough for me to take my business elsewhere. In full disclosure, it was a few years ago.
