Try a credit union. They offer the same or more services than banks but are owned by the people not the government.

Brokerage houses like Schwab and TD Ameritrade are safer options. To be safer and more liquid, don't buy stocks or bonds. Just keep your money in monemarket and you will get currently about 4.75%, which is a lot more than a bank will give. Some brokerabe houses let you buy T-Bills, which are also safer than stocks.
If T-bill fail, then everything falls apart and we are all in the same boat.
I am still searching.
The Sovereign Society has some interesting opetions.
Of course they are extremists, but informative.

Join a credit union. They are just like banks, but don't have all the fees as banks, they are small, and most of the time they have the best rates for loans and for making money on your money. They are also FDIC insured.
Find a credit union in your area that you are eligible to join. Here is the website: http://www.creditunion.coop/
Good luck, people who join credit unions tend to be loyal to their credit union's and go to them for everything... CD's, checking, savings, car loans, mortgages, etc.
PS - Banks are not owned by the government, correcting the error a person answering your question said.

I use electronic banking. You can use Citi, or Ing, or one of the other major financial institutions. My money grows pretty fast at the high interest rates they offer.

I agree. Citizens bank is the worst! They love to fee people to death!
I wish I had a better answer for you. If it weren't for the debt card part needed, I wouldn't bother with banks.
