banking
We're looking into opening our new bank account. I currently bank with BofA and I hate them so I'm closing that account anyways and HH banks with a tiny credit union so we're looking to start together somewhere new. Any suggestions or banks that you recommend? TIA!

Re: banking
I have always used US Bank and haven't had any problems. DH uses a credit union but they only have three locations in the entire state, none of them where we moved to lol. He has it open to finish paying off a car loan but he switched most of his major banking to US Bank as well and hasn't experienced any problems. And the good thing....they are everywhere!
We use Fifth Third Bank. They're really good to work with, we have our mortgage through them. I still have an account at a credit union I had before HH and I got together (I still use my credit card through them). HH used Suntrust before switching and he had nothing but problems with them. I really suggest Fifth Third if there's one in your area.
Hayley, I'm not sure why I never realized before that you're a Washingtonian. I am in Vancouver, almost to Portland, OR. My aunt & uncle used to live in Puyallup.
Ashleyanne, I was Washington Mutual before they went under & became Chase. I DETEST Chase now, their fees for EVERYTHING are completely outrageous. The only (and I mean ONLY) 2 reasons I kept that account is because I've had it for about 12 years now, and I figure that a lengthy banking relationship is good when we want to apply for a home loan, and because my kids' child support payments are direct deposited in that account, and I just haven't gotten around to changing it yet.
Matt & I opened an account last summer with a local credit union. I think you tend to get better rates, better returns, all that good stuff with a CU. I think I have maybe 3-4 transactions anymore in my Chase account, per month. Good luck deciding!

You've heard what I've done, not what I've been through.
If you were in my shoes, you'd fall the first step."
I feel like I have a ton of accounts. My husband and I have a joint account at Chase. He deals with this account, my name is on it, but I never deal with them.
We have a joint account at a local credit union, and I have my own account at that credit union. I have never had any complaints.
I also have an ING direct account for some long term savings (their interest rate is higher)
BTW I have to change my name on all of these accounts UGH!
i have been with wachovia for over 10 years and have never ever had any issues with them.
i would never bank with BofA. they lost a friend of mines money by depositing it into the wrong account and proceeded to tell her she had to wait 10 days for them to research it before they would give her a refund! needless to say she contacted the ceo's office and had her refund and closed her account that afternoon.
