what bank do you use for a checking account

[LaughingColors]

what bank do you have a checking account with ?
I primarily use schwab but I need another bank to deposit checks and than transfer too.
I'm fed up with BOA.

 

[kwilkinson]

Local credit union.
Absolutely zero complaints.

HSBC. Sucks. Gonna switch soon.

schwab is amazing, but, you can' deposit any checks at an atm.

 

[herzzreh]

USAA is the ****.

Two checking accounts. One local to where I live and one with Citi since they have locations all over the world.

Noob question about banking, does it work if you try to deposit a check into your local bank account with a Citi bank teller?

Wells Fargo and credit union

Wamu, but they all started wearing these stickers....

 

[thekunk07]

has wamu always been teller-free? i used a wamu the other day and some guy in an open space ran my deposit on a small cc-like machine. i had to grab cash from a separate machine.

 

[fcuknu]

some are some arent. Most in the city are, out in suburbia they are like any other bank. I prefer punching my code in the machine, I feel like Ive won money.

 

[thekunk07]

seems too casual/ghetto for a bank. i found it very odd. why do they have employees, then? perhaps why they were going under. that or the bad bankers ad campaign (i worked on it)

Wachovia. I really like them. I hope the sale doesn't screw them up too badly.

Well, to be honest, I don't know. The small local bank is convenient and provides relatively good service if I need something. There are a few folks in there that know me by first name, etc.

I deposit checks in whichever bank is available, in the account at that bank. At home, it goes local. On the road, it goes Citi. Then I can electronically transfer funds to whichever account I need to use.
