Default Banking

If you live year round in TV, what bank to you use for your checking/savings, and why that bank?

Yes.

One other factor for Citizens, no fees regardless of balance or direct deposit. Makes it great if you want a small checking account for ATM purchases -- less worry if someone does get your card number.

[QUOTE=patoonya;1413559]I agree Citizens is a good banking institution.If not them look at a good regional bank versus the big guys. The big banks may have some problems in the future. They may be albitrosses.

Ditto, except with Wells Fargo. Plus these two reasons:

1) Everything (automatic drafts, deposits, etc.) was already set up with WF.

2) I use Quicken, and the interface with larger banks is much better than smaller banks.

I left Chase Bank to go to Citizens First last september. They have been flawless and friendly and helpful and there are ATM'S all over the place. I have found that the online bill payment feature at Chase is superior to Citizens so I went back to Chase plus their offer of $500 swayed me a little. It is a toss up really. I'll know which one to stick with if I go for a car loan Citizens is still open for now.

Wells Fargo &

3) If you travel, they are coast to coast if a need arises.

4) I have a Wells Trade Account (self directed investing) and I have free trades, free checking, free savings, free lock box.

Could I ask what about the online bill payment at Chase is superior to Citizens?
