Can anyone recommend a bank?

[zalinda]

I'm going to need to open up a business account with a bank, and am looking for suggestions. And, yes, I will check out my credit union, but I want to have a back up in case that fails.

1. You mean an online bank? I've used Chase for years, never had a problem and never

been charged a cent.

2. I've had Bank of America for many years.

I am very satisfied with their service and have never had any problems.

[Warpy]

3. One McBank is like any other, pretty much

The best thing to do is go in and talk to the nice folks in the offices on the other side of the place from the tellers and ask them what they can do for your business.

Then take the best deal.

4. Nothing but problems with chase.

Lost 3 deposits (teller transactions) in 3 years. They always made good, but what a hassle.

5. I have been with Bank of the West...

for many years -- including having a business account - and have been very happy with their services.

6. I prefer credit unions

as they are owned by the depositors and treat folks better. That being said, I'd go with a local bank with a good reputation in town.

7. As a general rule, the smaller the bank the better

And under no circumstances use B of A.

8. I've had a good relationship with Wachovia for the last 5 years.

Both personal and business. Also had a few campaign accounts there.

14. I love Wachovia. When I was mugged and wallet w/cards, etc. were

stolen, they immediately called SS for me while I was on the line. Immediate cancellation of cards, etc. Their customer service is the best I've dealt with...

9. I will never use Bank of America for personal banking again

They screwed up our account and my companies corporate cards are through Bank of America, there are always problems with someones account.

10. From my experience BOA the worst and CITI the best

Tried them all.

11. get thyself a credit union.

P.S. Wells Fargo sucks!

[backscatter712]

12. Credit unions or smaller regional or local banks. No megabanks.

Stay far away from the megabanks - Chase, Wells Fargo, BoA, Wachovia - they all suck - they gouge their customers with fees and treat them like garbage.

I've never tried a credit union, but I'm currently with a smaller regional bank in my area that seems to be treating me decently - I'm not getting scalped with fees and such, and their customer service is decent.

13. TD (Toronto Dominion) is pretty green. I think they are in the US. But maybe not

everywhere.

[Ghost in the Machine]

15. I like "Hold Your Own Savings & Loan"...

and pay everything with cash.. or you can get a cashiers check or money order if you need one...
