I'm a JPMorgan-Chase retiree, so that was my main checking account even before they built the branches here a year or so ago. But I also had a checking account at Citizens First that I opened at the same time we closed on our house. I didn't know why at the time, but they have a small office right in the Closing Department to open accounts and give you checks and an ATM card before you leave.

For a long time before Chase built here, I considered closing my Chase account and using only Citizens. It's really a nice bank, convenient and with almost all the services offered by their competitors. It's majority owner is our Developer, so you pretty much know the quality and consistency of service to expect.

You couldn't go wrong with either of these banks. But there are a lot of local conveniences with Citizens First.
