Not sure if I'm in the right section, but what should I be looking for when choosing a bank? ( OR should this be in the "Other - Business and Finance? or in the Investing??) I recently got a new banking account at Wells Fargo and becuase i knew someone that worked there, i got a "hooked" up. I got both a checking and savings account, free checks, and a debit card. I also have online access to my banking account. Because i was hooked up, there is no minimum for me to have in my checking and savings. (other than just a dollar). Is this standard at other banks? Is this standard for you Wells Fargo customers? If Wells Fargo isn't a good bank which other banks should i consider? Bank of America? If this isnt in the right section please direct me to the correct one. I chose to post here becuase this is "personal financing" in a sense. If someone could help me it would be much appreciated.

Oh yes forgot to add this. Is there a $15 fee per month to use this bank? it was "waived" for me.

Wells Fargo is a good bank. Sounds like your friend got you an excallent setup.
Advice? Never get a Credit Card and you be ok. Think of it this way, if I cant afford it now, I dont NEED it.

In my opinion, you are in the right forum.
No one can answer that question fairly until they know what you need. What are your goals, plans, dreams? I understand your not wanting to trust the bank with the answer to your question because they all want your business. Talk to a financial advisor. If you don't think it's worth paying for one the bank you are at is probably sufficient. I don't have that good a deal but my bank is providing a lot more services to me and they fit my needs. You need to define your needs.

choose a bank by services provided and at what charge. Banks can nickel and dime you to death
