Wells Fargo was the only major bank that wasn't on the brink of failure back

They still took TARP money

according to a former officer, WF was a bit strong-armed to take it

Very true

I've been a very happy Wells Fargo customer for 15+ years.

Wells Fargo's customer service is spectacular. I have been really impressed.

Not my experience at all. They've been terrible.

Can you use USAA?

CrackerJack

10/5/15 2:22pm

If you can use USAA for checking, this is the way to go. If I didn't have USAA

Peanut

Or family of military (or other government service agency).

Mister P

10/5/15 2:28pm

USAA is clearly the best, but if you don't qualify, that means nothing.

SandYFan

10/5/15 2:32pm

If you have a parent or grandparent who served in the military you can qualify.

Tare

10/5/15 2:38pm

Their website says you have to have a parent or spouse that served or had

10/5/15 4:20pm

Well if your grandparent qualifies then your parents qualify and if your parents

Go with USAA if you qualify. You can pull cash for free from any ATM and you get

Go credit union!

Maybe try a somewhat larger regional bank, in WA we've got

lightmann

10/5/15 2:37pm

If in Utah go with America First Credit Union. I've missed them since moving.

10/5/15 2:38pm

PNC ftw

man-at-arms

10/5/15 2:38pm

I would go with a credit union either way.....

RaggaeCoug

10/5/15 2:41pm

Ditto on the credit union. I can use most CU ATMs and do my deposits on my phone

LaserCoug

10/5/15 2:53pm

My biggest beef with CUs is that they do not have to pay taxes

thaws

10/5/15 3:24pm

I use credit unions and banks

I've been very satisfied with my Capital One 360 account.

What are the specific reasons for switching?

10/5/15 3:18pm

Fees and customer service

Peanut

10/5/15 3:27pm

Check the Fee Schedules for both potential Credit Unions & Banks

Utah First, you can get up to $400 for it.

npbakergirl

10/5/15 3:53pm

Probably US Bank from those listed. BofA and Wells Fargo are horrible.

Real Men Wear Blue

10/5/15 4:31pm

USAA online banking if you qualify. I switched about a year ago and love it.
