My sister is moving up this way very soon and her current bank doesn't have any local branches. She is looking for a new bank now. DH and I use a local bank so I can't really help much. Do you have a bank you love or hate?
Re: Banking
I've heard a lot of complaints about Bank of America, but we have no complaints - they've been our bank (first separately, now together) ever since we had our own accounts separate from our parents and the few times we've had any problems, they've been responsive and helpful.
I've heard good things about Sovereign
We're also with Bank of America. I used to have an account with Stoneham bank back when BoA was (sucky) Fleet. But when I went to Australia for school in 2005 I needed a debit card in a certain network so I opened a BoA account.
When I moved out of town I closed my Stoneham account since there wasn't a location near where I was moving. I don't work close to home and with BoA ATMs everywhere it is so convenient. I've never had a problem with my account or anything either.We also use BoA and like them a lot.
In fact, when someone stole my credit card number in my pre-firewall days and went on a $2,000 spending spree in Spain, they shut down my card and alerted me, just as I was discovering the activity myself while doing some online banking. It was a PITA to fill out the paperwork, but were wonderful throughout the process and completely replenished my account for all of the charges.
DH and I use St. Mary's Credit Union out of Marlborough. I love it. Even though it's a local bank, they are part of the SUM banking networks, so we get free ATM uses throughout the US.
I have had BofA for 7 years, since I was 16, and I love it.
Now DH and I have our accounts there as well as some credit cards.
Same here, with our checking/savings account. The only issue that we had was a surprise change in our credit card terms - but it seems like every CC company has been guilty of that lately.
Haha, I've had mine since it was Fleet, too.
I believe it was 2002 and it was still Fleet then. I am surprised yours wasn't Fleet as well. Weird.
Wow, lol!
