what bank do you prefer?

Question

I have to get a new checking account. i want to have the ability to see my bank statements online etc.. the choices i have in my town are Huntington Bank, Sky Bank, Liberty Bank, a local bank and National City (who i am with now. due to security reasons i would like to leave.).. i can also get to a Chase bank.. please give me some information of which bank you prefer.. ?? Thanks so much!

Answer 1

I would choose your locally owned bank or credit union. Many credit unions have community charters now, allowing anyone who is associated (lives, works, attends school, worships, etc.) with that community or county to join. Credit Unions are ussually really competitive with rates and services as well.
I'm all for supporting locally owned businesses rather than mega corporations (where you often have to talk to someone overseas to get customer support). When you do have a problem, smaller company's have the advantage of you being able to often go straight to the top with it.
Most banks offer free internet access now and they all basically have the same products & services. Go where you are valued and like I said, I would consider supporting your local bank or credit union because in the end it will make your community a better place to live and work.
