Reply #30: My local bank had local news on TV today [View All]

I am so much happier with them than Chase. I'm thinking of closing down my Chase account completely (they've wrongly charged me multiple times for all sorts of crap) and moving all my money over.

I also had my card stolen and immediately reported fraudulent transactions and they were really cooperative and said the money would be reimbursed in two days. Unfortunately my bank is only located in MI. I'd look for a credit union in a college town or relatively left leaning town. Just look around. Personally, I would care less about their politics and more about whether they're going to give a decent interest rate (though it sucks pretty much everywhere still), their financial soundness, their fees for things like a minimum balance and stuff like that (a big one to look out for)...
